yeah, it cracked me up reading about Bellinger's "slump" a few weeks ago.
Gee, down to only .350-what a scrub...lol

If someone wanted to purchase an Acuna refractor rookie and was debating between a Heritage Refractor or a Chrome Update Refractor, which would be the more widely preferred card?

KhalDrogo · 06-22-2019, 05:08 PM

A centered Heritage refractor.

Wow, today is evidently my lucky day! I don't post much but felt compelled after what I pulled from retail today. I know some people are under the impression that the Series 2 Acuna Bat Down SP is hobby only but I know 100% that they are in retail also now.

Marked-down Wal-mart Series 2 ($3.49) hanger pack had it. Just one of those times where you feel compelled to buy one specific pack even though you want them all... but you don't know why, just a gut feeling...

I bought some 2019 Series 2 also - mostly purple parallel blisters - but grabbed 2 $5.59 hangers also that I just also had a feeling about. Pulled a nice card I was actually debating purchasing online this past week and scared the crap out of my dog I yelled so loud haha.

YES!!!!!

jojop · 06-22-2019, 06:04 PM

Haha thanks! If anyone is brave enough to scroll over to the right on the most obscenely large message board picture of all time, you will see a pretty nice 2019 Topps Independence /76 Eloy Jimenez... Sorry about that, I'm not good at computer/social media things.

The drought is over!

justdagoodstuff · 06-22-2019, 09:21 PM

I've noticed that when he gets in one of those mini slumps he tends to let the upper half of the bat lean towards the back of his shoulder, instead of holding it straight up like he does other times.

Finally did in his 3rd AB!

That Heritage is sharp! Love the image they chose.

swabie2424 · 06-23-2019, 07:40 PM

That Black Heritage is bananas. My favorite Acuna card. The batting gloves. The pine tar. The eye black. The rookie cup. It’s a cardboard masterpiece. I have the French text version but that black border is even more insane.
