✹The PERENNIAL Shohei Ohtani Thread✹

[hammertime]

Didn't see it but questionable BGS corner grading has come up repeatedly in this thread.

[ThoseBackPages]

yea, when BGS was a thing they were known for being easy on corners.

[Trueblue]

Man, 2023 Ohtani has attracted some strange people to this thread..

I should have Eagle Eye Joe send my PSA 7 to BGS. It would honestly look better in a Black Label.

Some members live and breath Ohtani and that is as True as the Blue sky. There are some doozies.

He is a great player with a market that expands past Cali. A 1 time MVP with a zero post season resume. Some members may want to check the brakes because Ohtani has some boxes that need to be completed. He may get it done ?

I’ve never seen someone so consistently not understand what drives popularity in baseball.

Single and rocket triple. Picking back up. Strikeouts have really come down recently.

For UD, yes Goodwin but thought they were live but not 100% sure.

The UD Goodwin Kanji auto that sold for $18k was repacked/inserted in 2019 UD/Goodwin products.
The UD Goodwin Kanji auto below was live in 2018 Goodwin products:

Flashback from July 30, 2021;
Phil Hughes buys Ohtani 2018 Finest Kanji Auto RC PSA 10 at the National.

So he paid 60k for it. I wonder if it would go for more than that today?

[Mister2Bits]

Thats such an amazing card. I'm actually a little shocked that the flip is not labeled as "Kanji Auto" or something to differentiate it from his mainstream auto

[Finest]

Anyone know how rare those Ohtani calbee gold signature facsimiles are? They look pretty nice.

[al3xmac10]

another flashback from 2021;
much truer in 2023.

haha that is awesome!

[al3xmac10]

what cards have Ohtani's real/original/1st version/non-shortcut auto?
Only the 8 sets below come to mind:

2018 Bowman Chrome Auto (pitching)
2018 Finest Auto
2018 Topps Chrome Auto (pack-pulled, non-redemption versions)

***Non-chrome/non-shiny cards:***
2017 Topps Now Platinum Members Auto
2018 Gypsy Queen Auto
2018 Topps Allen & Ginter
2018 Topps Heritage Real One Auto (not Heritage High Number)
2018 Topps 1983 Auto

- These are all, right?

[TGCollector]

I'm sure it's been discussed before but so many of Ohtani's autos are streaky. Got me nervous for a redemption I have coming in lol

[oddstuff]

Curious if anyone tracked how many Kanji autos have surfaced from the 2018 Bowman product. I don't own any Ohtani autos but the Kanji chatter brought this to mind. Don’t think they were redemption right? Actually inserted into the packs.

Dang that's brutal. Also I'll never understand why people set up their listings like that.

2019 Topps Triple Threads. Those are numbered to /35.
