Dude!

Very nice looking cards man! Those Sotos are amazing in person.

I just got a 9 on my Acuna Indy as well a few weeks back, thought they graded it super tough vs what it looked like.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but Soto finished 2020 w an OPS of 1.185. That’s the 25th best single season OPS ever. 3 players (Bonds, Ruth, Williams) have ever finished over 1.25

Can Juan become the 4th?

As epic as Soto's season was, there's really no comparison doing it over 60 games vs 162

I asked a while ago and the one answer I got was that the dimpled beauties were sold raw. I sent four of them (all four with dimples) off in may. I’ll reply with results if I ever get them back.

Back in hand after an express trip to PSA. Retail pull in early ‘19, finally got around to getting slabbed. Pleasantly surprised with the 10.

The upper left corner was pretty well dinged and I'm not one to make returns although the seller definitely under played the severity of the damage. So I basically made the decision that since it is so rare I'd at least rather have a damaged one than nothing at all and I'd prefer to get it graded because I like having my collection in PSA slabs and if I should ever decide to let it go at least the next person will know what the deal is with the card.

Thanks!! I think if you can hold on to them you will be very pleased with your choice long term.

Thanks Reggie!! I agree and as always love seeing your collection grow. I'm expecting a large haul of Juanny cards back from PSA within 3-6 weeks hopefully
