Probably not. He's been hitting it on the screws lately but his babip has been poor

When he gets on a tear, he hits them in bunches. I think #40 will happen this weekend. This is so good for baseball and those who put some money on grading the lower end stuff with SGC.

Thanks! The Blacks are definitely my favorite Ohtani card after the Red Refractors, all of which I'm priced now priced out of

As much as I'd like to see #40 in Detroit Tuesday night, it's probably best for him to hit it Monday in NYC.

For media attention yes, but getting to 40 quick will make for an interesting discussion in NYC.

Final 9 games of season vs the Rangers and Mariners. Could be very interesting. Sept 28-30 in Arlington might take a trip.

Nice stolen base

Listed my 2018 Bowman Jumbo Hobby Box on eBay. Wonder what type of offers I can get. I have a break on Instagram. But I have only 4 spots filled and don’t think I’ll get another 6 more people to join.

[Ferg1945]

Does anyone else have the ability to hit 40 HRs and possibly win 10 games as a pitcher??

MVP!!

Yep. While it’s still way too soon to be calling him “better than Babe Ruth” I think it’s safe to say he’s put together one of the most legendary single seasons ever.

[anusinha]

Hope they juice the balls next year again, he will get 60 for sure.

[zbaseball21]

That was another laser off of Ohtani's bat. Just right at the left fielder.

I tried hard to hit an Ohtani auto from this product but got only got 2 Ohtani sky Blue parallels and a dozen paper RC's. I can't sit on sealed wax but what fascinates me about sealed wax is how certain releases can go in and out of vogue. I think it's fair to say that last year this product was highly sought after mostly because of Luis Robert's 1stBowman auto. And then almost a soon as his redemptions expire taking some of the shine off the product Shohei starts to live up to the hype of early 2018( he's exceeding it now imo). This product was never cheap. I think $330 was the best I got a jumbo for which was pricey back then. I digress.

Given BO has them at $1300 I suspect you will get at least $1200 for it.

Well done for managing to sit on it.

P.S. Apologies for the ramble. No one I know cares one iota for it. I still get a bemused look when I run into someone who I haven't seen for years and tell them I have gotten into sportscards in a big way. BO is a lifeline in that regard.

Lastly, have thought of holding onto it for longer? My guess is that it will double or triple in the next 6-12 months

Maybe I’ll just take it off eBay and hold onto it. The more and more these dry out, the higher they’ll go.

I've already been hosed on a rare Ohtani card trying to pay 2x market, and losing by $5, for a card I might not see again for a year

FYI that seller did you a solid. If you came in at $1,100 and he countered then he waited for you to respond before countering me. I offered more than $1,100 so he had more money on the table already.

I lost, but I like that he didn't counter me until he was done working with you.

Post it when you get it!

If he reaches 50 HR how crazy would this be:
100 IP
100 RBI
100 R
100 K

I consigned my 2018 TC Gold Refractor PSA 10 in the Goldin Auction that goes live tomorrow. If anyone's wondering, it was pack-pulled by me and self-subbed by me. It also fills up that slab like a big juicy steak.

Wish me luck! I've got a lot of Ohtani competition but nothing directly like my card.

I'll hold your hand Arthur, if you will hold mine...lot 18 is me.

Gerrit Cole starting tomorrow - great match up vs Ohtani.

That's such an incredible collection. Why did they bury the "good cards" on, like, image 8 through 11?

I remember seeing the lot on my phone an clicking on it and opening the first image and it was all just regular base cards and I was like "Eh, whatever."

But when I looked at it now I caught the word Dynasty and that made me dig deeper and then I was like:

Agree, it buries most of the signature cards and a kindly worded email requesting a reordering of the pictures has been sent .

1 wasn’t enough. So I picked up 2 more today at $1075 each. I have the money, should I buy 3 more? They all came from the same sealed case.

These are starting to really dry up.
