2018 Topps Archives snapshots black and white SP.

I am not great at math, but by my calculation the PR is ~150.

2018 Topps series 2 S-54 green.
I believe these were inserted in some blister packs. I don't know the PR and I have never found the odds published. But based on frequency on Ebay and the PSA population it has to be lower than the blue and black /299.

These have been the types of cards i have been focused on due to PR and feeling they are undervalued in the market place.

Nice pickups! I love that Snapshots card so much.

Not a bad sale! Certainly makes me more excited about the better flagship rookie (S2, #700) :P

Even if it were a PSA 6 though, not many copies of those around/available for sale. But makes you wonder what higher grade copies would sell for.

Card looks fine - think its the edges on the back which I dont really care about.

There's two 7's, one 8 and a 9 on the pop report.

Members only should be /25

This is for 2024, but may apply across the board

In the Old School Facebook Group right now, the respective owners of the 2018 Bowman Chrome Batting Superfractor Auto 1/1 RC BGS9 and 2018 Topps Chrome Update Superfractor Auto (sticker) 1/1 RC BGS9.5 have been made available for offers...

You know the pump is real when these kinds of cards are available. I wonder what those could realistically go for.

Would be interesting to find out. Probably a “silent” sale by a big firm

It’s strong money for a good, but not great, card.

For the 2020 stadium club chrome release (different from 2020 stadium club insert chrome) the generally accepted number based on odds is 660 xfractor and 660 refractor.

The other un-numbered (other than base)from that release was the wave with a print run of 12.

It almost feels irresponsible to not sell lol

There was a gold BC PSA 10 on eBay for two or three days. Listed at $100K. It’s gone now. I don’t see a sale confirmation on 130point.

It does until it sells for a million in the future. But as we know tomorrow is never promised. It is tough to turn down that much money though. Good for him.

I completely agree. The odds on the salute are reflected ridiculously underpriced. I picked up a black parallel recently.

This is the black salute I picked up.

In this market it is hard to find value, but knowing estimated print runs I think is important on non-numbered SP and SSP cards. I am not a high end collector (but wish I were) as these cards are always going to have the most demand.

To me the worst value right now is 2018 RC base cards that are PSA10. So my niche has to be finding low print run RC that are not as popular right now, but hopefully will become more popular in the future as people expand their collections and look at pop reports.

For instance on the 2018 S-54 salute insert /299 is likely undervalued. But the blue inserts are even more under valued as they likely have a print run of around 600 making them a SSP. I don't think the green print run can be computed, but my guesstimate would be between 100-150 (or even lower). So the green right now offers the best value. At the same time, it is a niche card, so the demand might not ever be there.

I think the other thing that is important when looking at RC card value is figuring out what cards collectors flock to (like #150 refractors) and figure out what cards or sort of similar. If I were a betting man I would think that 2018 rainbow foil cards across the board offer similar value, but are half the price right now.

GabrielCards · 10-24-2025, 08:34 AM

The best way to collect Ohtani is just be sure to get cards that Scott (TrueBlue) already has (and he has a lot). That way when he sells and establishes new highs for your cards you are set and don't have to do a thing!

If I were getting a middle tier card for value I would look at the Topps pitching Gold PSA 10 (POP 98).

I guess my question is how you define value? 2018 topp #700 gold PSA10 is like a 4-5k card (I think). These cards for sure will hold value and go up due to demand. And if comparing to base RC PSA10, I totally agree.

From my perspective I am trying to find cards that are undervalued compared to their current popularity and print run.

More like 6K - 6.5K now

but compared to the explosion of other SP and SSP I think this card has stayed under the radar and now is a good time to buy.
