Yeah the one big (for me) Ohtani purchase I've made since 50/50 has not sold on ebay in at least 3 years in any grade.

Speaking of buying cards that you might never see again, I just picked up this guy! I was bummed when it sold last month and I completely missed it, so I was shocked when it appeared a month later and I was able to win it for cheaper!

I think besides the 1/1 all I need left is the elusive Meijer/ Toys R Us Purple!

User name does not match the card posted! Great pickup.

Just got my Topps Now 50/50 order in, sadly no parallels. I shoulda quit while I was ahead with my only other Topps WBC Ohtani strikes out Trout order that I profited about $900 off of.

Well I can assure you it was paid for this time around.....

Did go for less than I expected, but still more than I should've spent for a card at this point in time, however I've been looking for this card for years and who knows the next time this will pop up.

At least I can now cross this one off the list and stop the search!

Now to see what I can sell to cover this lol

If I hadn't of already given up on the rainbow I probably would have pushed it higher. Good luck finding a Meijer purple, those are tough.

I bought two non-rookie purples this week - a 2023 series 1 (my fave flagship Shohei image so far) and a 2024 #500. Those plus the 2019 batting are the only ones I have.

Yeah the purple's are so nice, I love how they look and how elusive they are, I would eventually love to complete a run of them from each year!

What other cards from the #700 rainbow do you have?

All I have left are the foilboard, indy and camo. I sold my gold, rainbow foil, limited edition, father's day and mother's day. I basically kept the three I thought looked the best.

Ohtani impacts the WS with his bat, and then closes out the final game to win the WS.

The 3-2 count in the 9th inning of the WBC final was truly something special. I would love to see that in the WS

That's awesome! I have a Camo in a PSA 7 and the Indy in a 6, so if you are ever looking to move yours let me know! Always interested in upgrading!

I bought a 2019 TTY Ohtani /50 (not jersey numbered) raw off eBay in 2022 for $150, ended up grading it and came back a 10.
Decided to sell when they were going for over $1k in early October. Within 24 hours of that sale, found and purchased this guy for under $900, I'll take that as a win!

Jersey number ftw! Love the VIP cards.

Awesome, congrats! I actually just picked up this one, also 17/50. Looks like someone got their whole set graded at one time.

Mail Day! Another fine 9 for the collection. More on the way



High prices be damned, I really don't care. If I need to I can always buy extras and dollar cost average
Anyway... I sure am enjoying the hell out of my modest collection and look forward to the chase of many, many more.
