no worries, its all part of a collection

Found this on Comc today and could not pass on it! I have limited experience with relics outside Yu Darvish....and even with him it's all over the map price-wise. Probably overpaid....don't care. A dual with Soto(who I don't collect, but I think has all the potential in the world), Ronald MVP season release + jersey#'d on his side of the card?? Yes please! That checked a lot of boxes for me!

I realize Ohtani is the most popular talent in MLB, but RA13 isn’t far behind. I’m surprised at the big difference in the price of their cards. RA13 is criminally underpriced imo.

Ronny needs to pitch and be reborn Asian, that will close the card price gap

A repeat of last year will do wonders for sure and I'm sure his cards will reflect that

Any growth from him (as a 26 Year Old!) will have people dreaming of a Bonds like career

Imnottheonly · 03-18-2024, 09:40 PM

Acuna stays healthy this year and performs at 90% of last year and that gap will close a bit. He isn’t catching Shohei, due to the international market but he really separates himself as the clear #2 in the hobby and the league.

One is a unicorn, the other is not.

Will see how much pitching Ohtani is able to do over the next 5 years (or longer). If at some point the pitching goes away, some of the unicorn status will wear off (could see him hitting 60 though this year with no pitching). Ronnie is 3.5 years younger which will allow him to build milestone/HOF stats. Time/health will be the difference. WAR is just one measurement...Ohtani is at 34.7, Acuna 25.9 but Ronnie has that 3-4 seasons to catch up/pass. I see Ronnie running is a little less this year but growth in hrs...he will be the first (and maybe only one for a long while) to 50/50 - he's had 2 seasons of 41 and he's only going to get stronger as he enters his prime years.

Ohtani never has to pitch again.

He is this decades hobby mega star.

Yep. His legacy is already cemented in history regardless of the future.

Realized that I don't post my Acuna collection in the thread and figured I would show off some of my better cards. Started collecting in 2020, so I bought most of these peak pricing. Probably have 200+ low end RC cards in the PC. I mainly buy and hold.

Thought I would show off some of my better cards so I could be in the Acuna club like the rest that post in here.

My better graded collection

Here are my better non graded (that need to get graded in the future one day).

The bottom two Bowman's best are Atomic refractors.

The Topps High Tek is a galactic diffractor. The US 250 is a rainbow foil.

dream34 · 03-19-2024, 06:22 PM

Gold Refractor RC Logo, Color 1st Bowman's and a few Serial Numbered 2018 RC Logo Cards! Nice stuff Sean!!

Rabs · 03-19-2024, 08:16 PM

Good stuff Sean thanks for sharing!

BraveAtlanta · 03-19-2024, 10:03 PM

Great cards Sean

whitmm · 03-20-2024, 02:47 PM

Umps in mid-season form, robbing Acuna of an outfield assist in today's game. Absolute rope from the foul wall.

I'd say Ronald is ready to go.
