From my experience in the last 3 days, EVERYTHING from the top brands from 2018 is front and center.

Topps is my favorite

Have a bigger SC coming later this week.

This is one I want really bad. I checked off a somewhat niche rookie off my wantlist that should be coming in tomorrow. Can't wait to get it

I saw where ohtani's next start is Wednesday night. Does anyone know if this is actually true?

It was supposed to be Sunday against Boston, but I guess they don't want him to get too many strikeouts...

Stadium Club mail day part two and three:

Been looking to add a SC auto (non insert) for a while.

And I also added a friend.

Tired of PSA's antics right now so will probably take a break on cracking for the time being.

NYBBFAN · 07-25-2025, 04:43 PM

Sho-ly cow! Great SC adds.

Wow, beautiful oranges! Love Power Zone!

...and an Ohtani market update:
The blue below just sold yesterday on an FB group (not mine).

$51k

That’s a great price

Thanks, guys!

Anyone selling their BCAs right now will probably never own one again. I get it, but that's THE card. Anytime one goes on sale, there are 300+ watchers. There's incredible demand and it's going to be a multi generational card.

livfreely · 07-25-2025, 11:55 PM

Would you make this trade?

This

For this

And what would your reasoning be?

I'm not clear on what end of the trade you'd be on but I'd take the true gem Judge rookie auto numbered parallel all day.

anusinha · 07-26-2025, 12:09 AM

yeah, rookie year judge vs streaky angels random year auto

livfreely · 07-26-2025, 12:17 AM

Cool that’s what I’ll go with. I’ll keep the Judge.

I know it’s Ohtani’s early signature, and in red ink numbered to 10. But I am not too keen on the image used.

My big Ohtani pickup came in today. I know it's a niche card, but it's been a card I've wanted for a while, just don't see them pop up in auction a lot.

I just love that it's a swatch not only a game used jersey from Ohtani's rookie season, but from a unique jersey from Players Weekend.

Trueblue · 07-26-2025, 11:34 AM

That's really nice. Congrats!

kidfan9 · 07-26-2025, 11:42 AM

Looking for some feedback…

What’s a fair price for a 2019 Topps heritage auto blue ink. Grade is in the PSA 9-9.5 range. Thanks!

Last few were $3k BGS 9, $4.2k PSA 10. I would say $3-3.5 for PSA 9

This is really cool, especially with the pic on the back. I love cards with alternate jerseys like that.

I would keep the Judge (I have this card so I know how good it looks in hand). As awesome as Ohtani is I would rather have the nice grade on card Judge rookie auto over the 3rd year Ohtani - I actually am not a fan of the red ink on that, looks like it is fading. Also that is technically not his first signature style. If Judge puts together another couple years like he has been both Ohtani & Judge are going to be looked at as legendary level players for this era even decades from now and that numbered Judge RC auto will be more highly sought after.

I know what you are saying. The Judge card is a great color combo.

I’m sure the pics don’t do the Ohtani auto just justice in red. I’m partial to red ink. I would send the card in for a regrade to take the 8 auto grade off. If it was a batting image I would be sold.

Judge will most likely be out the rest of the season with TJ surgery, and the Dodgers are heading for a repeat is my only drawback.

I’m contemplating (could I pick up another Judge auto cheaper than I could get an Ohtani?).

Edit: and I believe these PSA label is a misprint as online I am only finding a purple /10 in the red ink for this series of card. Not black as mentioned
