You were saying no way to Baltimore but then mentioned 4 other probable destinations. I'm saying if he gets traded, it could be to any contender as the Angels would take the best deal. Where he ends up signing in 2024 of course is another conversation

It is more likely that a traditional powerhouse is going to go all in for a 2 month rental than a team like Baltimore...which is 4 games out of 1st place.

So giving up your entire farm system for a chance to win the division and more than likely a wild card win or go home just doesn't seem likely to me.

Gotcha now. That makes sense.

Beautiful card

Topps is not responsible for typographical errors.

It's such a hilariously low bar

Hope he goes to the Yankees for many reasons.. First among them, I don’t like the Dodgers or the Mets.

east coast would be best for the hobby

Astros get him for playoff run. He signs huge off season deal with Yankees.

Astros win WS and Ohtani gets his ring.

There’s a 2018 update negative (black & white) RC up on ebay right now…I know they aren’t that rare in chrome, but in update, are these pretty rare? I can’t remember where it was discussed in the 2018 update thread, but I thought I recalled the print run on these was something stupidly low, like ~25 or 50…is my memory on that mistaken?

your memory is correct

oddstuff · 07-07-2023, 10:46 PM

Believe the paper update was in the 50 range.

You sure 1475 was a legit sale? I see $735 on terapeak but not 1475.

approx number is /50

edit: just looked back at my excel sheet. I paid a grand total of $205 for 2 (two) '18 Update (paper) Negative PSA 9 Ohtani's in March 2020.

Stringmusic · 07-08-2023, 09:32 AM

Too bad he looks like Zorro on the negative…

Boredlawyer · 07-08-2023, 09:55 AM

I landed this in a box break about a month ago. Just got it back. The black refractors look great in person.

Most likely not a legit sale. It's a ridiculous price

punctilious · 07-08-2023, 03:08 PM

Struck a deal for this at a local card show here in SoCal.

hammertime · 07-08-2023, 03:17 PM

It cracks me up that Panini can't use "Angels" and Topps can't use "Los Angeles"

I can't see him wanting to go to NY. I wouldn't mind, but I don't think he wants to.

I swear I learn something new everyday. Why cant Topps use Los Angeles? It was really bothering me in the new Heritage release.

Trueblue · 07-08-2023, 06:12 PM

First of a few consolidation cards.. don't have the courage to hammer this one

Mister2Bits · 07-08-2023, 06:31 PM

Does anyone know the approximate print run of the 2020, 2021 & 2022 Stadium Club Chrome Wave Refractor?

I'm assuming based on pack odd the print run of base card chrome wave refractor jumped in 2022?
