This is just a beautiful card. Congrats!

So I'm still holding out hope it's just some USPS snafu and it'll eventually get delivered, but the 2018 TC #150 pitching refractor I hit on Arena Club and had shipped to me has not showed up despite being marked as delivered this past Saturday the 16th. I checked with my neighbors to see if it got mistakenly delivered to their inbox, but no one said they received my package.

I've had several Arena Club retrievals delivered without issue before, so this is a first. I live in a condo community, so everyone's mail is delivered to a community mailbox, which is why I thought it might have been put in someone else's slot (not a rare occurrence). Funny thing is all these Arena Club shipments are supposed to be signed upon delivery, but at least 3-4 times someone else has signed (assuming a USPS employee) for it and I haven't had to sign anything, but it still ended up in my mailbox. But as of today, this latest shipment is still MIA. I've already reached out to Arena and gave them all the info I have (Ring video of the mail truck arriving at our mailbox, proof of delivery PDF, etc), so hoping it gets tracked down and this is all just USPS being stupid.

If in the worst case scenario my package that included the Ohtani slab indeed was stolen, wanted to put the cert # out there in case someone comes across it. Thanks!
There was also a Trout SGC slab in the package, but it's like a $25 card tops so whatever on that one....I just care about the Ohtani. Lol

oh man

[hammertime]

Ugh sorry to hear that, I hope it turns up. You should call your local post office, they should have the GPS coordinates of where it was scanned as delivered, that would at least tell you if it was misdelivered or not.

My first Ohtani PSA order. All card were pulled by myself or my boys. We still have a few chrome a bunch of heritage and Topps rookies but I don’t know when we will grad them.

LOVE IT!

Nice 10s! You could consolidate those into a nice numbered RC or even an auto

Chris (@baseballcardaddict) from the Blabbin' Bout Slabbin' channel on YouTube absolutely loves the card. He now owns two of them. You can watch him speak about his most recent pickup by tuning in at the 9:45 mark of this video. He states there about 20 total of the card: five shimmer, five red, and 10 base.

Inthink that’s his best non rookie card. And there are few, and it looks so cool, I’d take it over a bunch of his rookie autos anyway.

Superfractor
Red /5 - 3 at PSA
Shimmer /5 - 1 at PSA, 1 at SGC
Base - there are 7 of these at PSA. So maybe 10 total?

Is this what qualifies as dirt on Ohtani now?

[theredmenace]

He was probably just bewildered by the aussie accent, can't blame the guy.

[Trueblue]

Shohei didn't sign my ball so he's a bad person, and I heard he gambles too.

Some people don't understand the amount of crap these guys have to deal with.

Fun Story: I went to Mike Trout's debut game and wore his jersey (minor league #21). Torii Hunter was pointing at me and Mike looked up and grinned then went back to stretching. He didn't come over and sign it for me though. He was trying to lock into his MLB debut, cause that's his job. Can't be mad at players for wanting to focus on the job they're paid to do.
