I'm feeling great to be honest. This season has surpassed all expectations I had both for him as a player and the Dodgers as a team.

Not sure. I will let you know once Scooter McRibs has his conference call and sends out his buy and sell recommendations. When Scooter talks, people listen!

I think prices are holding really well from the heights, but overall velocity is down. CFB/NFL/NBA is definitely taking some dollars away from the low-mid end portion of the hobby. It's a natural cycle at this point and even past WS stars have not seen THAT much of a spike this time of year. We may have to settle for a price hold period and wait till ST. That also means no price break period this season

I also think many people tried to consolidate this year and have sold through many cards. There is a lot of money waiting on the sidelines to buy the big cards. Explains why any reasonable high end is getting snapped up immediately.

Fantastic. Both of my guys took their respective teams to the WS (and future MVP's). I started collecting Judge in 2016 and Ohtani in 2018. I dont care who wins, just that we get an entertaining series with some historical moments.

Feeling good! Basically the modern Ruth. Cool to be able to have a rookie card of his. Plus what I have goes well with the other cards of other players in the collection room

That's GREAT for the hobby

I agree. Happy to collect both

I think this Ohtani ending tonight has to be one of his ugliest cards ever. With that said if he wins the World Series this season I would guess all his 1/1 Dodgers stuff from this season will be collectible.

Some serious Saved By the Bell vibes with that one.

Was pleased to pull it but not in love w/it. I'm sure these would give it a run for its money in the ugly category, x50.

I HATE this insert set. I have friends that love it but I simply do not understand the appeal.

If I may be so bold could I suggest a Sapphire run?

Thought about it, honestly, but that ‘18, eek. I have cracked a lot of slabs for this, but not that one.
