Need some help from you Ohtani experts. This is a Topps Mini, which obviously isn't lighting the world on fire, but it is a pop 1 of a card with a print run of just /9 and a RC. Anyone have any idea on value? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Finally snagged a 2020 Ginter Mini /25 to finish the run. Been looking for an affordable copy of this card for years!

2018 - 2022 complete.

On to the EXT's

Big fly #18!!!

Ever have a card that you regret selling, miss multiple opportunities to buy it back, and then after finally winning it for way more than you sold, another one pops up? And then you buy that one too out of spite #trueblueshow

That's strangely very comforting. I was paying for the second card and thinking "what the hell is wrong with me" . This is a support group!

Will reveal the cards when I receive and resolve the financial jab in my eye.

He’s been a strikeout machine. Have him on my fantasy team and it’s been underwhelming so far…

His bat outshined his pitching in '21, but that flipped in '22. Now it seems so far in '23 it's back to the '21 Ohtani with the bat leading the way again.
If he could just cut down the HRs and BB, his pitching would be right there with his bat and could still be his best season yet...

Not a second one too but in the opposite fashion I did sell a rare Ohtani Rookie auto earlier this year for a big profit, but I was half regretting it since I loved the image used and it's low pop. Well the only other one I've ever seen popped up for auction recently and I ended up winning it for about half of what I sold mine for. I'll take that as a big W

I swear we're not addicted to buying Ohtani

This was posted by another member on here before. I can't do math!

2018 Topps new era Print Run: 3,790
This math seems correct on reddit:
Insert cards numbered to 99 and it’s odds were 1 in 67 packs with 4 total relic cards. 99 x 67 x 4 = 26,532 total packs. 8 cards per pack x 26,532 = 212,256 total cards. 212,256 / 56 unique cards = 3,790 or so total cards.

I think it would be great if we as a board came together to put together a cheat sheet with all the print run numbers of 2018 topps products that Ohtani is in? Anyone interested in participating?

I've done something similar where I reluctantly sold a PSA 10 for a big profit, then fortuitously buy a PSA 9 for like 1/3 the price. Net-net, super happy. You gotta be nimble!
