I should amend my statement to say that I’d bet on one of these two. I’m just rooting for the ‘88 because I love that set, but it doesn’t have any relevant cards (except for, like, a Glavine rookie). It could use a win.

Vlad Jr. rakes. That's all I got.

This kid is special!

This kid's career is going to be a home run derby

At this rate Vladdy will turn all major league ballparks into his little minor league parks.

Yeah, you know, when your home OPS is 1.423, that .922 on the road is a total red flag.

It’s still weird to me how the foilboard doesn’t command a bigger premium over the sapphire:

A) it’s much more rare: there is one for sale right now vs 23 sapphires
B) it’s serial numbered
C) it too is shiny sparkly (which is all the rage right now)

I just bought a #NNO PSA 10 for $230 at Star Stock. Still one available at $235! I can't imagine opportunities to buy at sub-$250 in PSA 10 are going to last much longer.

There were sales over $230 for this card at Star Stock in April! How has it gone backwards??

Foilboard cards are just never going to get the love - they just don't look as good as actually chrome cards. It's shiny but not the right kind of shiny.

zeus22 · 06-13-2021, 04:23 PM

Is it possible that he can hit a HR in four straight games at Fenway?

Wondering who the last visiting player to do something like that is?

If we’re talking strictly aesthetics I prefer a foilboard over any chrome except a blue or red refractor. But agree 100% in this chrome crazy environment that they will continue to lag behind.

My Foilboard Vladdy might be my favorite card tbh

First and foremost, because most people don’t have as good of taste as we do.

But also because Sapphire is known as the fancy base set, while the foilboard is a parallel and an anomaly that people maybe can’t quite figure out.

Sapphire has the NNO pic and is the Vlad version of the Acuna bat down Sapphire (but not exactly). Foilboard is a complete-set parallel of a complete-set-only card.

This doesn’t mean the foilboard will always lag behind, of course. The more Vlad’s market unfolds, the more people there will be searching for undervalued cards.

So I do own sapphires as well, but man I love how this looks:

EDIT: and on top of this, out of the three “standard” images for Vlad: the update, the NNO/TC and the Complete Set, this is my favorite image of his.

Not true. They won't get the love the others do because they are a true White Whale. There are 162 of these cards but only a handful in circulation as no one wants to bust their sets.

The ones that are left on eBay right now are priced astronomically, especially for a BGS 9 and a PSA 9. If a PSA 10 were offered at auction right now, I think it would finish pretty strong.

This is a really important point to understand. There are still some phenomenal buys out there.

All you have to do is take a look at Tatis’ market for example to see how this will likely play out.

The Complete Set image is my favourite overall, combine that with foil 🔥🔥🔥

tyrith · 06-13-2021, 05:19 PM

I've spent most of the afternoon digging, and I have to agree with the consensus - the high end cards are accelerating faster than a lot of the mid tier staples. There are a few premium color 2016 Bowman chrome autos on sale right now that are going to set some startling new highs, I think.

With that in mind I picked up a few PSA 10 Topps Living RCs today.
