Impressive performance tonight. 7IP, 1ER, 4H, 2B, 6K and a 2 run go-ahead HR.

Angels needed all of it to end the slide.

...and another hit after 100 pitches.

Honestly kinda feels like a bugs bunny baseball cartoon.

The 700 parallels were tough bastards to grade and between edge chipping, corner dings, and surface dimples, a PSA 10 was a small miracle. Just look at the pop report for the gold, as reference with 40something PSA 10s out of over 150 graded.

Edge chipping was a given for the most part, so when I received this card, I noticed that the seller tried to fill in the chipped white area with blue ball point pen ink. I kid you not - look at the top left-mid edge of the card. That is some fine BIC pen ink, gents. Anyway, thought it was funny that the card ended up slabbed as "authentic" to appear somewhat credible and come back on the market. Crazy times. Will also add that it's half sad, half funny that I have laser focused on these cards for so long, that I remember many of them either through buying/selling or bidding. Long live the Sho.

I was the one who end up buying this card. I don't mind the ink on it myself. Wish you posted about it sooner. I might have gotten a better price. Odd that someone decided to do that given that the card probably wouldn't of graded better then a 7 even without the top nick on the card. Corners are pretty bad.

7 IP, 4H, 2BB, 1ER, 6K - 100 pitches and gets the Dub.

Oh, and 2-4 with a HR, 2RBI, batting 2nd.

I can't stress this enough: when I was a kid (80's, 90's) if you told me ANY player would put up nightly lines like that on an even sporadic basis (and not on Nintendo) I'd have laughed you out of the room.

Now we're all like "Pretty good night but he should have K'd 8-9 or stolen a base".

Just post any questionable cards here next time. Can't explain why people do things, but I've purchased more than one head shaker when it comes to Ohtani.

Not to mention hitting triple digits with the velo too. Got Devers with the splitter first K and then 101 heater second K, just unfair. Oh yeah, his HR was 104mph off the bat too

But hey, Walsh got the cycle!

I was hoping for another home run at worst

Solid evening by Ohtani. Average back up to .255 and OPS also above .800 - we're turning a corner, boys!!

Good timing on that pickup. I pulled one in the case I opened this year and it looks outstanding!
