He went above and beyond with his descriptions and high-quality images (imperative for high-end raw cards) and is as good as gold, in my eyes.

Thanks Kev, RefractorSoto is front-and-center with the rest of his buddies!

Thank you for the kind words, Coach! That looks so nice in a one touch! I'm normally a sleeve & top toploader guy all the way, but I may need to look into the one touch thing (if I can find them

).

And that's a mighty fine collection you have there! Some serious heaters.

Edited to add:

Thank you also for being a class act buyer! We have such a great community of collectors in this thread.

It's so nice to be able to deal directly with good people on here rather than take one's chances with whomever surfaces on the bay, especially when cards get into 3 and 4 figures (and potentially beyond). I haven't done a ton of deals on here, but the ones I've done have invariably been with good people---both the buyers and the sellers.

I have this in a PSA 10. Just declined a 1K offer on it.

jjrpilot · 01-17-2021, 09:48 PM

Well given the dominance of Soto after talking with Reggie (great guy and glad to call him a friend) ages ago, I decided to really actively looking for key Sotos.

I've been able to grab the following:

1. 2018 Topps Update base rookie PSA 10 ($55)
2. 2018 Topps Update Chrome PSA 10 ($65)
3. 2018 Heritage base (two)
4. 2018 Heritage Refractor /569 PSA 9
5. 2018 Topps Update Rainbow Foil PSA 9
6. 2018 Topps 35th Anniversary
7. 2018 Topps On Demand 3D PSA 9
8. 2016 1st Bowman Chrome Base Auto PSA 6
9. 2016 1st Bowman Chrome Refractor Auto /499
10. 2019 Topps Sapphire Rookie Cup PSA 10
11. 2018 Topps Update Chrome Refractor /250
12. 2018 Optic Blue Prizm /149
13. 2018 Optic Red Prizm /99

It's been quite the journey of being diligent and able to grab cards some perfect and others not just being grateful to be able to have a copy etc.

Love the hunt!

I didn't know that #191 existed until I saw your post, and I had to pick one up myself. What a sweet card.

CoachBruno · 01-17-2021, 10:23 PM

Anyone here outbid me for that Gatorade Bath Fine Nine that just ended ($3271)?

Also, anyone willing to part with one for similar ballpark? Please PM

towerymt · 01-17-2021, 11:55 PM

Buy the label, not the card! (which isn't a refractor)

Juan Soto 2018 Topps Chrome Rookie Update Refractor Psa 10 Qp #hmt55 Pop 22

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Juan-Soto-2...2/114631468275

I msg'd the seller to let him know.

I predict high bids and a disappointed buyer.

Beautiful cards indeed! And way under appreciated.

I wonder what’s going to happen when more people learn these and similarly rare cards exist?

Yikes! Ya definitely not the refractor!

Soto green bowmans best rc auto ending tonight. I know green isn’t a true parallel that people pay for but it’s Soto and an on card rookie auto. I still think it goes for over $1000. At four and change now...

Ungraded for over $1k? I don't think it gets there, but stranger things have happened

Not sure how they determine centering at PSA, is it a combination of front and back ?

Here’s my /150’s back.

Picked this up from a member on here and it arrived over the weekend!

Thinking about trying to cross it over to a PSA 10.

Joke? Centering is fine, but can’t tell on the other subs.

monkeymcgee · 01-18-2021, 10:17 AM

Surface and corners would be my bigger concerns. Beautiful auto on it though.

ThoseBackPages · 01-18-2021, 10:24 AM

PSA guidelines allow up to 60/40 on the front.

It's a good example. Centering is fine. Soto Heritage is all about the bottom Edge.

Stranger things have happened, but I doubt that many 9 subs lead to a PSA-10. Zero chance as a crossover with min grade 10, but non-zero chance if you crack it out and submit it raw. You never know til you try!

Yeesh. I should have just hit the BIN on the BGS 9.5 Red when it was listed for $7.5K instead of being a cheapskate...

Where do you guys think a Red PSA 10 would be at?

I have no idea. I picked up my PSA 10 Gold Refractor on here for $1,100 in the summer of 2019.

lauriontj · 01-18-2021, 12:19 PM

Just picked up 3 more chrome PSA 10’s. I feel these will be a lot higher as we get closer to the season. The question is, how high?
