Should've took my ohtani cards and fled the country!

Tbh, the reason why I sold the Kanji was despite the auto being awesome, wasn't a huge fan of the UD Goodwin. Inserted in 2019 packs. He's in a suit. Card was a little bland. Still glad I kept the ones I did.

Yeah, those first 10 exquisites are nice but the suit one is not the best example. Hard to be choosey now though.

I forget the provenance of that Finest auto, is it confirmed pack-pulled? For half a mill I wonder if any others start magically showing up.

Yes, it was pack pulled and graded by original owner. Also, thought there is an orange finest kanji auto but had a lower grade of 7.5 by Beckett in 2018/2019.

It's crazy to see these prices. Even though I feel like I shouldn't feel surprised, actually seeing what they're going for is mind-blowing.

HA! I still find it interesting that bWAR has PCA being more valuable than Ohtani due to his defense and base running.

Ohtani looking good at the moment to win another MVP.

fWAR has Trea Turner with a higher WAR...

Ohtani leads in total fWAR if you include both hitting and pitching.

It's crazy that he has any pitching WAR at all considering he's 1-1 with only 36 innings in 12 starts with a 3.75 ERA. I'd imagine a "replacement" would probably do better than that over 12 starts. Not a knock against him, just questionable how "WAR" in this situation is calculated.

I would be very surprised if Otani didn't win another MVP. It was his to lose and no one really took it from him.

PCA and Schwarber deserve some consideration, but there won't be enough there for either of them to win.

MLB just doesn't really have that voter fatigue that the NFL and especially the NBA has.
