I should have probably negotiated a little more, but didn’t want to lose it over a few dollars.

Exactly what I did. I put in an offer and thought how I would feel if I lost it over 25 or 30 so I snatched it!

Looks like that 8.5 sold 3 times recently (10/18 by PWCC, 11/21 by Shadowsonic2004, and 12/22 by bahnokeed), each time for a little bit less.

I think it is a great pickup by you

. Just strange to see it change hands once per month lol.

I've picked up some Acuna recently, as well. While I was shopping for pajamas and undies for Soto I came upon some Acuna I liked as well. I know I'm only like the 4th person to like them but the undies have really grown on me.

Curious how you guys feel about the non-licensed rookies like optic that are so much more popular with basketball and football. To get any rookie for $15 of acuna seems like a steal whether it's licensed or not. Thoughts? You can get some really cool looking low-numbered prizm cards as well. I like them for PC but I'm really curious to see how these cards hold up long-term value-wise..

I'm okay buying Pajama Acuna and Soto cards are more rare - the lack of license doesn't bother me too much. There are some attractive Panini cards out there. Not a fair comp by any means, but look at the movement in the Trout Prime Cuts RC over the last year. It's remarkable.

I do have an Optic Red Auto Acuna BGS 9.5+.

Nice! I love the optic parallels - just bought a few silver holos and picked up a zebra Soto. Nice thing about the optics are they are easy to figure out if you're going to get a good grade or not. I'll probably send a few of the silver holos in and keep an eye out for more of the numbered unlicensed stuff. The mookie Betts base prizm has taken off too so I don't see why that wouldn't be the case with the acuna assuming he stays on track.

I'm basically living in a TJ Maxx these days. I don't really care what's popular, I just like what I like and so ever since I really sat down and looked at all the pajamas and undies and the bang-for-your-buck you get with them I've just been concentrating on those.

I totally get why they're never going to be hugely popular. I'm definitely not buying any of this stuff because I think it's going to make me rich and, lord knows, I'm the champion of the "collect what you like" creed so I'm not trying to influence anyone else. I had just never actually sat down and done thorough searches and looked at the cards closely and considered cost.

I'm a sucker for shiny and bright colors; like that dog from the animated movie, "squirrel!" I see low serial-numbers and on-card autos (NO STICKERS!!!!) and it makes my green bean tingle. I don't know what happened to me. I used to loathe the concept of unlicensed cards.

I did have multiple concussions as a teenager. So, there's a precedence.

I liked them better when 2018 parallels were less than $15.

Nice! I like those prizm silvers. Seems like all the prizm are bin for a ridiculous price!

The sale was already done, he only mentioned it afterwards. I was going to ask after Christmas how his dad liked the card but apparently that won't be needed. Wonder if the story was fake or if he found out why his father sold it and decided to sell it because of it. He didn't make money on the card so not sure what to think.
