You made a false statement claiming a non serial #d was serial #d. No need for gifs. "My bad" works too.

When I said # /34, I guess for some, I maybe should have clarified it should be "presumed" PR of 34

sheesh

but yes, MY BAD



it's all good

I know it may seem trivial but that's one of the top reasons items get rejected from AG - it is not assumed. But yes, we got what you meant.

So yeah stadium club autos still seem pretty good

oh yeah, trust me. Upper Deck used to pull the same thing with some of their cards. Yes, serial stamped numbered would be optimum.

This seller of the BGS 9.5 that recently sold did some calculations, and I have no reason to doubt his (or her) findings. It looks legit to me, or perhaps they are meaningless ramblings.

What I do know for sure is that the B&Ws are super short printed, ever since Topps introduced them in 2015 (?)

[Trueblue]

You are 100% correct that the print run is below 50 (according to odds, and to hedge against TBP) and it's a very nice card, and nice grade.

I am more trusting (or voluntarily ignorant) than TBP when it comes to modern PRs

Gotta say, I value your honesty. Poor TBP, he means well.

Hello Backdoor!

thats all im saying.

Topps has done it before. Hell theyve done it il numbered cards as well! haha

[ThoseBackPages]

yea true about AG!

i had a win that was flagged because the seller put the wrong serial number in the title

Snagged a companion card for my Ohtani Brooklyn Back RC. I felt it was appropriate.

I’m looking for that .33 card! That’s the rare one

Asking more out of curiosity than anything else, but for bigger cards (say rookie autos), how much of a premium for a jersey-number match card have over a random serial number card?

Like for example take his 18 BC #RA-SO /150, /99, /50, /25....what premium would you think #17 would get over other non-bookend cards? (obviously #50/50 would have a premium due to his 50/50 season). Or any of his 18 BC numbered parallels.

I do see that a '18 BC batting refractor #17/499 PSA 9 sold for $38k the other day.
Random #/499 PSA 9 of the same card sold for $9.5k on Oct 20. Is a 4x premium for a jersey match card sound about right??

Obviously I would think lesser Ohtani cards wouldn't have nearly the same multiplier for jersey match vs random number serials (take like his 2025 Series 1 gold #'d to 17/2025 vs like 458/2025).

I was really surprised to see that refractor sale. I think the jersey number match is cool, but would not personally spend much more because of it. To have a gold 50/50 might be a bit more novel, but I’d still value the card itself (iconic flagship vs unlicensed), quality of auto (if there was one), and the grade more.

i love 17/ cards!

Question for the Ohtani collectors here. Those of you who own rookie autos. Are they life long holds to be passed down, long term holds or are you waiting for the window to sell (like retirement or HOF induction)?

I’m not, I’m sticking with football but I’ve turned into more of a collector to the point I rarely move cards unless they are for a bigger card. Wanted to just see what collectors here were doing

I've sold 3 rookie autos of Shohei, 2 were this year and 1 was a few years ago. They were all long term holds as I picked them up around 2019-2021 but couldn't pass up 5 figures for each. Still HODLING my remaining Rookie Autos though. Having multiple made the decision to sell some easier. A few more years of Shohei being a unicorn and more postseason success might have me selling those too for a house

I think a house is a great reason to sell. That’s an awesome goal!
