It was the funniest sequence when I bought this card cause it was at the low of Ohtani sentiment and the seller knew I was an Ohtani collector and kept offering it to me and I kept saying no thanks. I ended up buckling and paying under $200 for it and begrudgingly sent it to slow-boat grading in February 2021. Came back today. I would say this did better than some of the Kyle Lewis cards I sent in

If ebay seller rainbowdealers makes you an offer on one of your Ohtani cards do not accept the offer, he will not pay. And based on his feedback (100% of course), he will do it to auctions as well so I'd suggest blocking him.

Only sports cards he appears to sell is Ohtani cards so figured I'd put it in this thread for Ohtani collectors to be aware of.

He has offered me on multi-thousand dollar cards as well. They were mostly low-balls that I politely declined, but that is good to know.

Yeah card was up for $70, he sent me an offer for $66.66 (I should've known based on the devil numbers) so it wasn't a lowball offer. Then after no payment for 24 hours I dig deeper on feedback and realize he doesn't pay. Send him a message about it, he responds "I've left feedback and will pay when I pay off some of these other big items". What in the hell. I knew I was screwed then, and surprise surprise, he never wound up paying.

Mike Schmidt will present the NL MVP award, presumably to Bryce Harper;
I am very interested to see who will present the award to Shohei...

Will it be Trout?
Maddon?
Ichiro??

hammertime · 11-18-2021, 05:22 PM

Ichiro would be amazing.

A dark horse would be Hideki Kuriyama, Shohei's manager in his tenure with the Nippon Ham Fighters.
Ohtani, Kuriyama and the Fighters organization got a lot of flak from the Japan baseball community for Shohei's two-way experiment;
Without Kuriyama, there is no Shohei Ohtani as we know today.
How great it would be to have them in the same room together for this moment.

*This Ben Lindbergh piece is a must read to understand the origin of Shohei Ohtani, two-way superhero:
