There is no 2018 chrome mini.

That said, I do believe that card was just miscut since the back seems aligned. Should have been rejected as a N6 and not slabbed.

Also added the crown jewel of NPB 206. Yes, it's a sticker and I don't care. No other Topps/NPB option


That is a very cool card.

The top of it on the back looks like it was cut with scissors.

This card is regular Topps chrome.

All good. I got it.

That grading is just egregious.

Whoops, my bad. The fakes and shady sellers have wrapped my sarcasm detector in a layer of cynicism.

So with the signing of Snell and the hopeful signing of Roki....will Ohtani be in a 6 (or 7) man rotation?

What the heck is up with this card? Clearly trimmed and off centered. It looks like a mini card. It literally looks likes someone took scissors and chopped the top and bottom off.

Pathetic it was encapsulated, but not surprising.

I'll go with the contrarian answer and suggest that they used an oversized slab on that one (vintage bowman??). The window border isn't frosted like a normal slab, which is making the card appear undersized.

Look at TB's 206, there is frosting underneath the label whereas the X-fractor does not.

You are correct; the card section of the slab is oversized. However, the terrible cut at the top of the card, whether trimmed or that way from the factory, should have prevented that from getting any grade close to nine.

Yeah, I think it has the internal sleeve, too. That and bad lighting. It makes me wonder if it is an optical illusion.

The scan on PSA shows the same issues.

So PSA AND Probby have the same optical illusion with their scanner?

Absolutely beautiful card and auto. Congrats!

Did any pictures of the both of the Ohtani/Ruth dual autos ever surface?
