Where's he going to go that wouldn't (or maybe already is) an instant contender. The only team in the convo that, that doesn't apply to is the Angels. But he's not going there. Everyone else is/would be an instant contender.

There is people in here that know more than me so just an opinion, but I think some people who hopped in may be quick to unload after watching the last few weeks because they don't truly understand what we're witnessing. I'm hopeful for a cool down in prices as he takes time off and the Angels fade further back from the playoffs. Will probably start to see a spike as free agency hype hits, and if he goes to the Dodgers, I think things take off, if he goes to a team like Seattle I think we see a dip.

Seems like there is less Sho ink in 2023 products. New product with supply dampens prices but if fresh Sho ink becomes limited, IDK. Could just be lack of product too

Finally added this sexy Sho!

Not my link or anyone I know, but does anyone know what's wrong with this card?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/175860245379

This is relisted for the third time it appears. First time sold for 1200+ bidding, then second time a BIN at 1200, now listed a third time BIN 1250.

I am strongly considering it, but I feel like I'm missing something big..

The bidder who won that item initially, has 1 feedback and 93% of their bid history is with that seller.

Ah makes sense. Even not taking the pumping into account it seems like a decent deal other than the scratches on it. I'll probably just wait a bit more (and spend more if I have to) on a cleaner example. Thanks!

i haven't bought ohtani cards lately. Been waiting for TTOO stock to take off.

ThoseBackPages · 08-14-2023, 07:30 PM

now is the time to buy!

NYRE2PECT · 08-14-2023, 07:48 PM

Two years ago tomorrow, I took the 5.5x money and ran…still think I made the right choice then, but dang.

I did pay cash for my wife’s car, that was a fun day!

Better to sell too early than too late! Don't look back

Amen to that...it's why I live vicariously through Scott now.

It has also been a little easier to swallow having lost collectively more in Tatis and Wander (pending) than what was invested in those pictures of Sho.

tconte · 08-14-2023, 09:33 PM

Great cards!

Love the foilboard. Missed the boat on that one.

Ziggy · 08-14-2023, 09:43 PM

This game is too hard to watch. I'm hoping they bring in a random fielder to pitch for the 9th and Shohei gets to smash one.

Psa 10 just did over 3x that. Holy smokes

It will never be too late to sell Ohtani

That's what they all say but if there's ever a time to believe it...its Sho-Time.

Am I the only one that thinks it's strange that Bowman Chrome hitting image is doing so much better than Topps Chrome #150?

Is that a current fad and Topps will end up ahead or at least even with Bowman? Or it will never catch up because "hitting image"?

For example, a raw BC /499 is over $2k and a PSA 9 TC #150 Blue /150 just sold under $2k.

What happens to the Bowman brand long term under Fanatics?

Just thinking out loud.
