Also had one 6-7 box purchase, and not one Acuna base. That kind of soured me on buying any more. I think I averaged about one Acuna every other box other than that. Other hits can be tough too. I got 2 #'d autos, and 1 numbered relic in the boxes I bought. One thing I did like is that the cards seemed to be in a little better condition on average than the Update hangers and packs I was buying.

That said, if I start seeing it stocked discounted I'll probably try a few more. The chase is fun! I just wish Soto was included too. Good luck to everyone ripping!

My first 10 box buy in, 8 Acuna's base, no metallic Acuna. Some autos...

I'll remember this post fondly in 4-5 years. It's Bat down, condition sensitive (paper vs chrome) and an overall gorgeous card.

I have a Bat Down BGS 9.5 True Gem. Question...Will PSA review it in-case? I'm considering having a review to see if it can get a PSA 10. Card looks great to me and corners are very sharp.

They can...just make sure it's a true gem to increase your odds!

Good luck!

Thanks! It is a true gem, 9.5's across the board. Picked it up for $200 when PSA 10's were around $300 hoping that I might could get it to cross.

Newest Acuna acquisition. Getting priced out of most rookie autos at this point

You have to think that if he's only a couple SBs away from a 40/40 season and the Braves locked in a playoff spot with a couple of weeks to go...this kid is going to be running every time he is on base between 1st and 3rd. And Braves will be okay with that.

Plus I want a Topps insert that has the old school style Donruss 40/40 Canseco feel.

I'm with him too. Even if Ron turned out better than Trout in the absolute highest dream scenario, I would never miss passing on the snowflakes. The Holiday stuff is too gimmicky even for my varied taste. To each his own of course.

I’m gonna do a thread of my Acuña stuff like yours in a few days. I’m waiting to hear back from Topps on whether they’ll swap out my 2018 Heritage Red Ink or not...they’ve had it for inspection for a while and should advise soon. Wouldn’t want to not have that one in the party. : )

He has 15 SBs in 29 games since the AS break.

He has 42 games left to play.

There is no way he doesn't get to 40 unless they tell him to quit running.

ThoseBackPages · 08-12-2019, 05:05 PM

id be fine with 40/40

His name is Acuna, not Sosa.

There is some really nice Acuna cardboard fire power shown in this thread lately, and I like it.
