Posting my RC cup SPs to help Ohtani bust his slump...but will be tough against Skenes.

Nice addition to the collection just arrived today. By the way, how do I include a photo in the text and not in an attachment?

Asking you guys because you are vested in Ohtani. Would you rather have a 2018 Topps Finest refractor Ohtani SGC 10, or 1954 Ernie Banks SGC 2?



And he will definitely come out of his slump soon. His entire life just changed with the birth of his kid. It will take him a minute to adjust.

Value aside, you have to ask yourself why you are choosing between the two cards. Are you mostly a current player collector, a vintage guy or an amalgamation of both? Is this for a long term hold to enjoy or a flip? How well does each card present as representative of their grade? Vintage for one can vary quite a bit even with the same grade.
Sorry, there is not an easy answer without knowing a lot more. Hope this helps

Helps a lot. I am hearing you say it’s personal preference. I enjoy collecting players I have been able to see/watch. I grew up fortunate enough to see Griffey, Edgar, and Randy in Seattle. As a kid I didn’t realize how truly special that was.

BUT, without the past we don’t have the present. “Paying homage” to the past by collecting them is a worthy feat IMHO.

Holy schnikes, that's now worth a lot more. Though how the auto got a 10 is beyond me as it looks streaky.

I’m probably weird but that amount of streaking makes it look normal to me and I like it. When it’s just completely covered throughout the whole signature sometimes it just doesn’t look natural.

BGS just trying to rediscover relevance by giving high visibility cards black labels and 10s.

I am still thankful for that card taking attention off the super I won in the same auction. Glad the guy got a break.

Would have been a PSA 8 Auto 9 if I had sent it in.

BGS just trying to stay in the game as long as they can.

Checkout my collection circa 2019-21. There are no cards over $5K at that snapshot in time. I flipped the switch to consolidation mode in 2021. You don't need to be filthy rich to get the best cards - just need to have a structured plan and discipline.



TrueBlue, your 2019 collection pics... WOW.
Breathtaking.


If anyone has a 2018 Topps Chrome Red Refractor Auto /25 Error they are willing to trade, please let me know, thank you!

a) I prefer a slabbed copy graded a 9 or lower.
b) Pic below for reference (not my card), thank you:
