Very nice! Did you crack the BGS or send in the slab? Thanks!

Nice! I just got my 4th last night on accident but no PSA 10s, 3 BGS 9.5s and a PSA 9. Hoping one of the BGS 9.5 can cross, 2 have 2 10s.

Sometimes you just need an ugly slumpbuster.

It's just a very, very unlucky "slump". His walks are up, his strikeouts down, and in the last 2 weeks his xwOBA is .430(actual of .325). His full season wOBA is .411. So he's actually hitting better in the last 2 weeks than he has overall this season. Not a slump

Fernando has just missed a few pitches he usually crushes and rolled over a few ground balls to the left side. He’ll break out soon. Plus the team has continued to win and he’s usually the first in the dugout to congratulate a teammate even though he has been frustrated lately with his performance. Outstanding team guy and ambassador for the game.

if one must worry about a 21 year old, one must consider collecting someone else, or someTHING else

That's pedigree! He gets it. As a child, he just happened to learn it on a MLB diamond and in a MLB clubhouse.

Wow I had no idea the dip taken on some of his cards recently. PSA 10 Chrome Updates cut in half from 3 weeks ago. Crazy stuff. A couple people on here said the RD cards would be the first ones to go when a drop happened. And he's actually more likely to win the MVP now than he was 3 weeks ago

Baseball in general is getting hammered. The market outside of Trout and super high end (gold or better bc autos) is very soft. The NFL starting back in full swing and NBA heading into the conference finals won't help either.

MLB was the most affected season from the virus and I just don't think anyone really cares about it. Its crazy to me as good as Juan Soto continues to show he is that you can buy a US300 PSA 10 for $220. A Shai Gilgeous-Alexander PSA 10 still sells for $240 to put things in perspective of how soft the MLB market is right now. I understand the NBA market is much larger, but that is just crazy. Juan Soto has to be up there in some degree comparable to a Tatum or Doncic as far as quality. Hell a Gardner Minshew PSA 10 prizm outsells a us300

Have to hope things will return to form next year. Not sure anyone cares about a MVP in a 60 game season either, minus maybe if Trout wins to add to his legacy.

I don’t know anyone that actually truly prefers the update. Honestly the ones I know who say it are invested in update. I own plenty of both and the S2 image has iconic written all over it.
Yeah I said it and meant it.

Tatis last 7 games - 3 for 21, .143, 1 rbi

Still also has: 3 walks, 3 runs, 1 sb

I predict 2 Homers tonight, tatis is gonna come back strong

I did not notice as I mostly follow the prices of the stuff I'm buying and it is all at least steady if not rising. I'm happy to see a dip. I was worried the typical offseason discount wasn't going to happen this year but now it looks as likely as any other year

If you do not have patience, Baseball is def not the sport to collect. Also, dip is dope, whether it be horizontal or vertical, I get all up in that sht.

It’s crazy to me that Tatis is in the MVP race at 21 and I was just eking out my existence in college baseball.
