I guess they learned their lesson from last night.

Good lord, that is a crazy card. I'm usually jealous of your stash, but this time it's a little extra.

Thanks! Ironically was able to acquire the orange /25 for much cheaper, but you gotta have silver if it's sterling! It's such a gorgeous card outside of that thick BGS case. Had to free it.

I like the (silver) refractor better anyway. The color palette is more even.

Mad jealous.

One of those popped up on eBay a couple days ago then disappeared...

Trueblue · 06-13-2023, 09:48 PM

And there's your 20/10 club

hammertime · 06-13-2023, 09:49 PM

On base 5 times today and an SB...is that good?

here2havefun · 06-13-2023, 09:52 PM

On base 5 times tonight. Single, Double, 3 walks, 2 runs, 1 SB. Solid!

Edit: Hammer beat me to it

crazy4kinsler · 06-13-2023, 10:05 PM

And a stolen base in the 9th of a 7-3 game.

This bullpen is atrocious. Between that and losing 40% of the starting rotation (DeGrom and Gray), this might be a long summer. Used to the Rangers falling apart when the temps heat up. Thought this year might be different.

And just like that, Shohei takes the league lead in WAR. No big deal, just Shohei doing Shohei things.

I haven't got to keep up with Sho in a few weeks, but it makes me happy that when I come back he hasn't missed a beat.

I love him

It was 6-3 when he stole. 3 run lead is far from a lock, nothing wrong with stealing there.

Rage · 06-14-2023, 12:18 AM

Yes, he stole 2nd then scored on Drury's grounder to make it 7-3

He's locked in now, on base 5 times tonight!

First member of the 20/10 club....oh btw he has over 100 K's as a pitcher

Ohtani keeps inspiring the younger generation:

crazy4kinsler · 06-14-2023, 07:07 AM

No I didn't say there was. I was just adding he had a stolen base on top of all his hits. Heck I'd walk him 5 times out of 5 if I were the Rangers.

Perhaps we will see Ohtani's cards compare to Mantle's cards at one time in the future!

Jordan was a generational anomaly not just for his athleticism. Nike, Hanes, Gatorade, Wheaties, McDonalds. Everyone wanted to be like Mike.

Everyone wants to know more about Sho.

Shoot my bad, I thought you were implying it was a bush league steal. Ignore my comment!

I'm not sure how much the exact card sells for since none of them exist in the wild yet (but an auction for the redemption card just sold for just over $1k), so I'm assuming the card itself will be worth at least that much?

tldr; better to sell a redemption auto raw or get graded then sell?

I just got shipping notification for this one!

Trueblue · 06-14-2023, 05:24 PM

And here's the initial copy I bought before buying (and cracking) the 9.5. That was a week.

My favorite Ohtani card.

I love how this particular thread is so chill and gentlemanly! Just like Shohei.

Because at this point there's not a shred of anything negative about Ohtani to try and grasp onto and every single person collecting cards wants a piece. There were plenty of aggressive doubters in here a couple years ago

Oh shizzle, it's happening!
