I like the Stadium Club short print! Too bad it didn't get a 10. I think I have 2 flagship and 3 chrome base Tatis Jr rookies I still need to send to PSA.

Thanks! Agree, I really loved last years archives Tatis RC. I thought the silver was a nice card being /99.

The bars are set way to high on these young guys.
Nobody is Trout.

Has anybody seen Kris Bryant play lately? He pretty much stinks.

Couple that with an injury and not committing to the Cubs long term, I think it just made it worse for his long term value. I still love the guy as a player, but he is not the best example of someone who was hot and no longer is for the most part.

I just got my grade back for my Stadium Club Short Print (Sunglasses) and it got a PSA 9 too. The PSA 10's are hard to come by for this card.

They really are, I overpaid for mine just to get it because they never show up, only 8 Gems exist to date.

Stadium club in general is a very tough grade. Always has been. The backs are awful. I expected a 9 and got a 9 so was very happy. Was happy to gem everything else. I still think that SC in a mint slab is a really nice card.

In this case, does a 9 carry significantly more value than a raw does? Due to the fact that it is so hard to get a 10.

I know in most cases right now especially modern cards, a PSA 9 is about the same price as a raw..

Buying raw depends on so many things. If someone actually has a CCD scanner and puts up 300 dpi scans of the front and back of a raw card and it looks gem I have been known to pay gem prices. Actually, I suppose a more accurate description is I set a gem price snipe but since it's raw I never get pushed to that.

Now, if it's a raw card and I can already see that one of the corners has a white tip, I'd rather buy a 9 (assuming I'm paying reasonable rates).

But there's only, like, three of us that own scanners, everyone else just posts out of focus pics from their Nextel flip phone so, realistically, I'd rather go with the 9 and know what I'm getting. Especially on a card like the SC sunglasses.

Absolutely IMO. I would see most raws listed as an 8 to 8.5 at best with this card specifically.

Sounds like my strategy, too

Hoping for a big mail day from Topps, BGS, Jewcer and EBay. Will update as they come in to keep the Tatis love flowing for game 2 tonight.



Everything looks perfect but the off center border.

I don’t know what raws of these cards are going for today, but of this card I’d say yes. From my views PSA 9 mint seem to be drawing a premium to raws lately. Not a huge premium, but enough to justify the slab costs. Even look at the base 410s, PSA 9s draw a premium to raw.

A mint card is a strong grade! Back in the day, 9s were always seen as a good grade.

Those SC cards for sure get a premium as a 9.
Almost like a black.

Oh for sure. I'll always collect him as he's the reason I got back into collecting. I still think he'll have a good career but as far as being a superstar...don't think so. Sorry to derail the thread.

Love those oranges above!

TATIS BABY!

Did I do it right?

Can't tell you how many complete sets I opened to try to get your card. Very nice in it's own right!

Same here, he is the player that got me back into baseball. I thought he would be a Cal Ripken type face of the Cubs, but that does not look to be the case, unfortunately. I agree, he will have a nice career still, just not going to be a hobby premium star that he was thought to be in 2016. Tatis!
