That leaves the Update RD as the first reasonably obtainable flagship Harper that is pack-pulled and comes with a full array of parallels.

So the RD basically serves as the next up to fill a void created by the scarcely available actual rookie.

That’s different than the popularity of the Soto and Tatis RD cards, which are more the beneficiaries of rising tides, with the Tatis probably benefiting somewhat from being a vertical batting shot—opposed to the S2 RC’s horizontal throwing shot that leaves some collectors disappointed.

ThoseBackPages · 01-25-2021, 10:31 AM

guys who are reading this, and are not sure that they should be buying Soto now, on 1/25/21

see the poster above me?

he has been collecting Juan Soto since 2016

if HE is posting a "new mailday" with the above in it, that means he paid "recentish" prices, which are MILES MORE then they were 5 years ago.

if THAT is not a vote of confidence, i dont know what is

Kind of on topic. Just imagine how many sparkling Sotos are hiding in all this. 6 Hobby cases, 2 Jumbo cases and 69 Chrome Update Mega Boxes. I consider them part of my Soto collection.

Question:
I understand the investment side of wax, but when does the wax become unobtainable by the average gambler, I mean collector?

I would think it would be a similar threshold for cards. I mean, there are buyers for a $10K card, but FAR fewer than a $100 card.

I just got mine in the mail a day or two ago...I'm still stunned that the sell listed it at 50% the asking price of other ones. I snagged it immediately. I'm definitely thankful to have it!

That was such a smart pickup. I bought the first PSA 10 at $1k, so I'm feeling better about that decision now. These are stunners in hand and I'm glad I grabbed one before they really blow up.

One day (if ever), when you decide to open all these please video doing so. Will be a joy to see all the awesome cards being pulled. Wow just isn't a powerful enough word.
