I finally scored a 10 on his Angels Team set card. Also got 2 more 9.5s today and just sent in 4 more. Hopefully I’ll see one more Gem!

Some cards just look better in SGC slabs. Congrats.

Wow the Ohtani Thread is now relegated to page 2.

His MVP chances have defintely taking a hit lately.

Element of concern is now present

hammertime · 09-03-2021, 09:39 AM

Taking the mound tonight, hopefully that hand is 100%.

Hopefully he can get fat off the Rangers, they are the one team thats doing worse than the Angels post ASB.

Yeah I'm hoping a day off and a series vs the Rangers is just what the doctor ordered.

Got those Ben baller cards in mail today. Unfortunately I didn’t hit any numbered card, but they are nice cards

When it rains it ALWAYS pours, amirite?

Just because media and much of society is built on knee jerk reactions and hot takes, doesn’t mean you have to think that way.

(I hope you don’t feel that way.... but if you do - let me know when you want to get rid of your Ohtani cards)

Bummer that you missed out on a foil. I think they really pop on that card.

Nice card either way!

I know we typically share RC’s and high end cards, but Ohtani has some really cool/fun looking P70 cards.

I am new to project 70 and one of the reason why I’m buying the Ben baller for first time was to pull a foil or 1/1 haha. What is ur favorite project 70? Do you know any anticipating Shohei project 70 card that will be release in the future?

I ordered the Quiccs one, I think that's my favorite.

I keep telling myself to stop buying Ohtani cards for awhile...and then I buy more Ohtani cards. Some recent ones:

For those of you who are curious and not already aware, a Blowout member named GumStick built an absolutely AMAZING website for P2020 and P70. Definitely worth a look!

https://gumstickstudios.com/series/p...=34&o=cn%2Casc

I imagine most of the artists are going to release an Ohtani card... so expect another 25-30 cards on top of the 18 already available. He is a really fun subject to base a card on and generates relatively high PR’s. I am really looking forward to seeing what Lauren Taylor, Alex Pardee, and Efdot come up with.

Quiccs is right up near the top for me too.

My favorites so far:

Tyson Beck
Matt McCormick (not exactly sure why but I love looking at this one)
Ermsy
Quiccs
Naturel (base and the variation)
DJ Skee

Honorable mentions go to:
Toy Tokyo (looks much better in hand)
Chuck Styles
Ben Baller
Mister Cartoon

Wow!! Thanks for the detailed post. It will give me a head start to learn more about them. I really like the project 70 cards.

Oh I forgot I bought the entire Naturel and Ermsy runs from Wheeler so I guess I have those coming as well. Naturel's are really nice and go great together.

Hard to go wrong with either. I am curious to see if Naturel starts incorporating different landscape elements into the background.

Completely different styles but both made awesome Ohtani cards! So much subtle detail in both.

I hope you get lucky with the chase card!

FYI on my betting app, Ohtani is the favorite at -6000. Vlad is +1500.

So I guess it's a lock....
