Definitely a spike in Vlad Jr volume. 2nd on Cardladder behind Jordan (Ohtani 3rd) in 24 hour volume. Guess a lot of Canadians are busy buying Vlad. Lol

I would definitely be selling the base stuff right now if I was sitting on a lot of them to then go after bigger targets, be it Ohtani or someone else.
I was thinking more long term.

I sold so much Ohtani because his prices are too high got 125 per raw allen Ginter rookie card

Sold all 10 for that price. I’m sure I can buy them back for 1/2 that once it cools off

I'm not trying to be an ass but I don't see a difference in his prices.

I looked at his rookie autograph prices after game 4 and they were selling for much more than they had been previously. For example, a PSA 10 2019 TC blue wave auto sold for $875.88 on October 2nd. Another PSA 10 copy sold for $1,430.72 yesterday. Both sellers are in Canada.

I still think Ohtani is the better buy!

Yeah.

Vladdy gave a hell of an effort until the end -- he had a damn good game.

Incredible postseason from Vladdy but unfortunately losing efforts are largely forgotten.

Ohtani is in a league of his own right now but could still continue to rise. Vladdy had a good season and is affordable but I’m not sure what the ceiling is for a soon to be DH who doesn’t pitch.

He's solid defensively at 1B -- made some great plays during the postseason, including in game 7. He came up as a third baseman, after all. Therefore, I think he'll stick at 1B for the foreseeable future.

Yea, that catch in the 4th inning over the foul line was amazing.

Why do you think he’s soon to be a DH? Even then 1B/DH worked out fine for The Big Hurt hobby wise.
