Just looking for opinions

Thanks again

"best" is subjective, because one guy might like Heritage, another might like Donruss Rated Rookie or whatever.

In terms of value, i think it's his BC Rookie autograph.

in terms of his most iconic or #1 rookie, then it's probably the Bat Down card with the US250 a very close second.

So bat down seems to be consensus?

yeah pretty much, even if it's an SP.

The one you like the most.

For a high percentage increase, I'd consider grabbing a bunch of Acuna's lesser RC cards, such as 2017 Bowman Chrome Draft which are like three bucks, or Bowman's Best RCs and refractors from 2018 which are also super cheap. Look at Trout's 2011 Draft RCs - his second base RC from the product line in a single year.

You could always go with Sapphire

really?

i'll admit, that's the first thing you notice in the card, guess Topps didn't take art lessons when they covered how Red is a warm color and draws attention. lol

i get what you're saying, but it still is a really nice card. Also, Acuna was hitting, why was that dude walking away? WTH was he thinking?

2018 Optic Rated Rookie Gold /10

comicbooksgo · 05-24-2020, 12:31 PM

My personal favorite is the 2018 Heritage high number action variation. It's just such a good looking card. I pulled one in the first pack of HHN I ever opened. The odds of finding one are 1:2 cases (24 boxes) roughly, but somehow it's a card that has followed me around. 10's have gotten into that $600+ category lately, but I think this one will be a thousand dollar card before long.

I’d say the best looking one is the 2018 Topps Update SSP white uniform batting.

oplum29 · 05-24-2020, 04:34 PM

the Heritage action rookie is really nice too

AcunaMatata10 · 05-24-2020, 05:03 PM

Personally I think the 2016 Heritage Ronald Acuna is his best card. That or the Archives RC.

the 2016 card is nice indeed, but it's his minor league card, so it won't rank up there as one of his top 10 or whatever.

I know, it definitely should though. I feel like the bowman chrome is better than flagship too though.

I think the size he is on the card and the pose set it aside from most of his other rookies. That and it's like a hammer hitting when you pull one from a pack since the surrounding cards are so static. Pulling the ones I have have really been a thrill. There's no such thing as accidentally skipping over it.

2018 Topps 1983 On-Demand Mini....probably the scarcest of all his rookie year cards with only 13 copies.

comicbooksgo · 05-24-2020, 10:29 PM

I just won the green on demand to /5 mini on ebay. I don't believe I've ever seen the 1983 one..

His Stadium Club (non-auto) is a great-looking card and extremely rare. Oh, and it’s full-sized.

You can’t go wrong with it—if you can get your hands on one.

What's the deal with that one? Was that hobby only?
