that is the best way to collect!

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!!!!!

Been thinking about picking up a signed baseball—-besides his Kanji signature, are there different types to be looking out for? (Aka early/rookie type sig)

I wish Ohtani had cooler inserts.

Man, Fleer baseball would be nice

Shipped off 40 Ohtani rookies to PSA today. Wrong time of the year but I'm patient

Great time! Wait for the Spring Training spike!

[Trueblue]

Yep. Tonight's auctions. Rookie auto market is doing alright, and this is offseason pricing. Not my cards, as a disclaimer.




Also, super irritated that Ohtani has another SSP in update I have to stalk and buy. That's S1 ASG jersey, S2 Clinching Fist, and this Update pointing to dugout one.. talk about milking it.

About time you get your house in order homie!

Congrats on the crosses - those are huge and kudos to you for having the courage to crack those!

I've personally gotten to a point where[I have every premium card ever made of Shohei and] I just have fun collecting anything Ohtani that catches my eye [because I have six of everything else]. It's liberating.

You're a beast!

I appreciate your approval!

And I don't have every premium card made, but it's certainly gotten past the point of affordability so I don't even worry about it anymore . There have been a few big Ohtani collectors that have come and gone, but I just feel fortunate to have the means to hold onto these cards.

I'm clearly biased, but earnestly can't think of a better active player to collect.

I... wouldn't need much convincing of that!

Don't follow O at all.

What the heck happened to his autograph?

Approval and admiration, no doubt.

He’s played two solid seasons and clearly improved this year in many areas. I can’t wait to see if he can put together an MVP/CYA campaign next season.

I hope he stays hungry, healthy, and the Angels are relevant.

10,000,000 annual autos were unsustainable at the full signature level.

I am interested in the jersey, but I am worried he won't be playing on the Angels much longer. What to do?

Edit: I should add that I am a Detroit Tigers fan!

It'll be like owning a Griffey Jr. Mariners jersey when he was with Cincy, or a Jordan Bulls jersey when he was a Wizard. ALLWAYS COOL!

Did people stop wearing Ichiro Mariner jerseys when he went to the yankees? I think you're fine.

Thanks, I got one too.
The coupon code for today was different (extra 5% off instead of free shipping), but jersey itself is still on sale.

Edit : Seems like the coupon is different between MLBshop and Fanatics shop. But turns out to be same price or very close either way.

I also remembered that Fanatics gift card is available for Costco members, $79.99 for $100 value, so bought that and got that applied as well.
Ended up paying just little over $90 for the jersey including all the tax/fees.

You can always compare MLB Shop, Fanatics, FansEdge, and Lids. All operated by Fanatics. Same products but they rotate sales between the sites. I've purchased items for 30-40% off on FansEdge or Fanatics while MLB Shop has them full price.
