If you are considering non licensed over 6k my vote is for his 2018 Optic Rated Rookie Autos. Beautiful on card autos with the hitting image similar to Bowman Chrome. No Angels logo but still says Los Angeles

I don't see how a 2019 unlicensed non auto insert would age better but it's your pc

I have an unhealthy obsession with "big head" cards and I think I'm gonna try to pick up an Ohtani Whammy! card soon. Lol

HOLY MOLY! When did Topps Now cards become $12 a pop?

[ThoseBackPages]

when they stopped selling the GU/Autos on their own and "put them" "into" the base release

Skenes has already committed.

the best thing to do is let others feed their scratch off ticket addictions and buy yours for $5 on eBay

Any guess on the PR? I'll go 80k. Not nearly as significant a feat as 50HR/50SB.

it usually goes to 11.99 when there's relics or a larger auto checklist involved. stays 8.99 if it's just basic color parallels and a foilfractor.

So whatever supply of OG autos out there is it; no more will ever appear.

So as long as he ages gracefully, his rookie autos will probably just keep steadily marching upwards.

I CAN see a scenario where perhaps some of his later (like 4th-6th year) Angels autos at least stall out compared to his rookie and even Dodgers autos. But I really doubt prices of any of his autos will really fall outside of the entire card market tanking or he suffers career-threatening injury.

Wonder if the 2018 craze will start to trickle over to the 2nd year 19’s?

His 24 auto should still warrant a premium over his 2nd year autos I would think

You think 2024 autos with his new style signature in a Dodgers uniform should command a premium over 2019 autos with his old style signature?

I would only consider buying autos with his old style signature from 2018 to 2020. But thats just me. There are going to be thousands of his new style autos from 2021 and throughout the future.

His first year as a Dodger, 50/50 year, MVP, and WS title year all make the 2024 more desirable IMHO than a 19-20.

Side note…do you think his auto changed because he got a new interpreter …I kid I kid

2025 Finest headliners are pretty sharp (and very short printed) if you need a big head fix.

[shaqobe]

I was just thinking, if Ohtani pitches in Seattle, it would be the first and probably only time in baseball history that a 50HR pitcher and a 50HR catcher played in the same game.

Not for my PC it's for the portfolio. Just thinking about adding other cards instead of the traditional rookies.

This is probably a sign from above that I need to do some sorting and organizing - I found these in an unmarked (unknown) box this morning. All 3 of the Topps Chromes are refractors. No idea I had any of them (thought I sold the auto)
