Not including color parallels or autos, what are your top 3 favorite Ohtani RC’s?

I’m new to this, but my 3 are:

1. Sapphire RC
2. Heritage Action Variation
3. Archives Swinging Variation

I don't suppose this one counts?


Without giving it too much thought:
BC #1 (imagine a Sapphire version of this card!)
Heritage Action
Finest

Speaking of Gold Cups, finally got this fun little guy in hand
Didn't even know it existed until a couple weeks ago.
The other guy isn't too bad either

Thanks, guys. I resisted for a while, buy obviously gave in. I have another on the way, but I'll be selective for these.

I bought the card because the Xfractor is my favorite refractor. Good news is its a PSA 10 candidate if I were to get it graded!

Nice one! Might want to hurry and grade!

starting to come back up, last 3 PSA 10's did average of $900. Figure raw / psa 9 should come up to $350-400 this spring? just a guess.

I am not worried! If Ohtani has another Ohtani year I think this card will also appreciate in price. I am a long term collector. When PSA lowers their bulk price to $15 and below I will be sending a bunch of my Ohtani cards to grade probably.

, darn straight. Look at that thing!

I mean, that is a great looking baseball card, but it just looks even sweeter.

Love it, Scott, it is amazing.

Hot doggy! Clear, indies, camo, and that clean auto! The dugout peeks is also a fantastic looking card. I gotta find me one.

Damn right. I only keep BGS cards that are true tweeners (actual condition, not grade) between BGS 9.5 and PSA 10.

Yes, I cracked it. But I'm not gonna lie, this one made me a little nervous with how the edges can disintegrate when handling.

Yes, Heritage low number and high number. Low number is more desirable as the first, but high number was more condition sensitive. Pop reports speak for itself.
