Exactly. If you want a lesson in what bagholding and/or the hope investing strategy looks like, you can find it here.

I'm always in awe of others laughing at investors when a player gets hurt. That is all. Maybe just feeling sentimental hearing that Strasburg has a retirement announcement coming at the end of the year.

Kind of impossible to "baghold" the greatest player since Babe Ruth

speedyjg13 · 08-24-2023, 02:32 PM

Ohtani ruined.
Trout ruined.
Pujols ruined.

Thanks Arte!!!!!

As an Angels fan, very sad day for the fanbase.

Sure..i think it's hilarious that not once have you ever discussed Ohtani before he got hurt and now you come into this thread like you're the smartest person in the room. Had nothing to say at all when he was playing amazing and waited until an injury to happen to share your insight and "guarantees" and dare anyone disagree with you..they are a bag holder

I also would bet with you that people will still be thinking about Ohtani next year and his prices won't be tanked like many here think.

LOL "already has 34 WAR." What a legend! Maybe the goat.

Ken Griffey at the same age... 65.8
Barry Bonds (no juice) at the same age... 60.2

But yeah you guys all participated in one giant echo chamber about Ohtani and told yourself all kinds of stories about how he was better than Babe Ruth. Delusion is a hell of a drug.

Bro, this is still ad hominem. Wanna try again?

SupermanBrandon · 08-24-2023, 02:36 PM

Curious...what major career milestones is he going to hit?

Still no substance. More ad hominem. This is literally comedy hour in the replies.

Anybody else kind of surprised how low the 2018 series 2 #700 clear /10 went for last night? It ended at $6,600 before the injury news came out.

They aren't what they used to be anymore.
Unless they hype up the card for you multiple times on Twitter and whatever, there just aren't going to be enough bids.

Goldin is a shell of what it was during the boom. Almost useless unless you have a huge card (which 99% of people dont have & wont ever have). Too many people with $5k-$10k cards think they have something special and need the sexiness, that Goldin (use to have) has.

COMC auctioned it - Reason I ask is memorial day camo bgs 10 went for $9.7k on 6/21 - I surely thought the clear was going to eclipse that.

okumeister · 08-24-2023, 02:52 PM

Sorry, I actually see that it was on eBay.
Auction by COMC.

The one on Goldin still has 6 days left and currently at $4k.

hermanotarjeta · 08-24-2023, 02:55 PM

Better get the job applications ready for send.

It is amazing to see how many new-to-the-thread guys like to pick their butt, smell their fingers, and fling their poo in here since Sho got hurt.
