My thoughts exactly!

And yes. We have a few sleeping giant collectors in this thread. The way it should be.

Hope some of them come out of their slumber here and there to share their pieces.

I saw the #150 super in the big FB group a few weeks back. Couldn’t find the post—not that it’s mine to share—but hopefully they’re a member here as well.

I think I saw the previously unseen 2018 BC carrying bag superfractor finally surface recently....though I think it was posted by Topps or PSA, not the actual owner. Wonder if the owner is on here. Wonder what the grading fee was on that one! Could you imagine some brand new PSA hire got that card as their first grading assignment?

Right? Or the crossover process for cards like that. Don’t know how PSA does it, but it’s got to entail more than a couple of pliers and a hope and a prayer.

Just wanted to share my Ohtani.
I won it on the Topps Bunt app at the end of the year last year in a 1:75000 Topps Chrome Update mystery graded card redemption. I was shocked to say the least. Apologies for the large photos. Posting from mobile.

Trueblue · 11-19-2025, 03:44 PM

Nice cards guys! And nice auto - last version before it took a left turn to the C-8.

Also glad another GOAT thread was created to keep the garbage out of this one.

ThoseBackPages · 11-19-2025, 03:51 PM

haha i saw that

80sRockNut · 11-19-2025, 08:10 PM

Not technically a new pick-up, but just got this back from PSA with the correct label. Love Sho's smile in the picture!

Found an MLB photographer that makes edits of his own work. The Ohtani ones are cinema. Thought someone might enjoy.

Really articulates the emotion when it's slowed down like this. Nice.

WhacksPacks · 11-21-2025, 07:54 AM

I received a $7500 offer for this minus Fanatics fees.
Do I take or hold?

hammertime · 11-21-2025, 10:30 AM

Easy for me to say but I'd sell. Topps Now non-rookie auto for a milestone that probably won't even be in his top 50 when all is said and done

But it IS a gorgeous card with a gorgeous auto so I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to hang onto it either.

BoSoxFan1999 · 11-21-2025, 10:35 AM

Even Elon Musk can't convince his own AI software, Grok, into saying he's better than Ohtani.

Take the $7500 if it was me but it's a nice card. I just don't see Topps Now stuff being highly sought after in the future or much even now.

Do you collect Ohtani? Do you need the money for real world expenses? I can't pretend I know the upside of the card...but it does have an amazing auto, and Ohtani is very unlikely to ever sign cards with that type of auto again.

If you wanted to make a long term play, you could sell this card and buy an Ohtani RC auto with a nice signature.

I am in the take category. That’s a unique auto that looks great, but as others stated, it’s a Topps Now
