Keep the Archives Pitching Stance #50. Wish I could be a fan of the Throwback Thursdays, Topps Now or Topps on Demand. But those are too niche and overprinted for my liking. Personally, I would unload those and use the $$$$ to go after something better.

I'm assuming you mean overprinted as in too many different styles, the overall quantity of different TBT's and On Demands. Because PR's are all around 2k apiece I believe, which is pretty pretty darn low. I understand collectors not wanting to dive into that stuff, but man I love them. Sold off a ton of base RCs but surprisingly, out of about 15 bigger cards I have left 4 of them are On Demand, and I don't plan on getting rid of em any time soon.

7.5 bWAR on the season. Implies at least a +0.6 bWAR gain from the double header

. Love it!

The first TBT he posted with the 81' design has a print run in the 600s

Ive picked up and held onto a ton of TBT because of low print runs

Agreed - there are so many that have jumped up in price too. Like the 83 chrome cant believe thats a few hundred bucks raw now. Oh well!

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, I would hope that someone corrects me or directs me to the right place. Looking to move 50-75 Ohtani RC's + Gold Cups. Mostly a mix of the Chrome sets. (1983 Chrome & 1984 Chrome)

1 numbered blue /150
Looking for a local down in South Florida to meet up with

I an thinking the '81 and the B&W since I love the batting stance images. Tough decision...maybe I'll just keep them all for the PC, lol.

KhalDrogo · 07-28-2023, 06:59 AM

No. True TC variation.

Has any big color moved recently? Or all getting locked down

Ohtani could legitimately pass Babe Ruth's greatest season of 14.1 WAR.

He's at 7fwar with about 1/3 of the season left. 14 aint' happening, 10 is maybe still a stretch.

Currently on pace for about 11.7 bWAR?

7.1 fWAR, 7.5 bWAR. If he's about to go on a run on the mound like he did to start the season while he keeps mashing with the bat, not out of the question he can achievea 12+ WAR season.

This guy is so incredible. Any baseball fan should be fascinated by what is happening. I don't think we see anything else like this for a very long time.

Agreed. He’s the greatest baseball player of all time.

JRX · 07-28-2023, 10:44 AM

Even if they were cheating, I've seen guys hit 60 heck 70hrs. I've never seen the mlb leader in home runs throw a 1 hit shutout.

seanrs1 · 07-28-2023, 10:55 AM

My guess is a lot of people are selling at this new peak. I am not. For some reason I still think this is just the tip of the iceberg if he continues to perform like this for the next 4-5 seasons.

Would love to see the day raw 2018 base RC's sell consistently for $100.

Any SPORTS fan should be fascinated. He’s probably the best athlete on the planet at this point.

Even if he doesn't sustain these prices, I feel like he's always going to be collectible unless what he is doing becomes common in the future.

Tim · 07-28-2023, 11:12 AM

This is definitely just the tip of the iceberg. Remember his cards were all going higher before yesterday.
