Would one of you fine, BO members,...be so kind as to point me in the correct direction?

I KNOW that I've seen it, somewhere (likely...buried somewhere in the annals of these nearly 680 pages); the forum-page that specifically outlines which 2018 products had LIVE, Ohtani autographs in 'em....??

Thank you in advance!

Not sure if this was what you referring to, but it has a list of players whose autos were redemption cards in each product. Hopefully, it helps a little bit:

I don't think there is a list with LIVE autos...only which 2018 products have redemptions (that's the list above). Off the top of my head 2018 Bowman has live autos.

Yes...that is the expired redemption list I was referring to in my post. Not exactly a "live" auto list which is what you asked for specifically...you would have to look through each line of data and figure out if Ohtani had a redemption or not in that product.

Trueblue · 11-21-2023, 03:32 PM

to summarize, Ohtani has key redemptions in Bowman Chrome (some colors, blue+ are live), Heritage Low Retail (ROA blue), Finest (Mystery auto), Bowman Mega (surprise insert), Topps Update (red 1983), and TC (half the orange run).

I wanted to try to pick up an Ohtani 2018 Bowman Chrome refractor in a PSA 9 during this offseason for less than $1,000. Recently was able to pick up this card, in an obvious lower grade, but still right at $1,000. Always hard to tell from photos(don’t have the card in hand yet, it was just authenticated by eBay yesterday) it looks like there is a pretty large fingerprint to the right of Ohtani, I’m hoping it’s on the card and not just on the case as I may try a regrade on it. Either way I’m pretty happy!

To the naked eye that looks like a 10.

Looks like an MVP buyback promotion.

Looks like he’s at the new Giant Sportscards in Alpharetta, GA. Probably doing a promo of some kind.

Not aware of a card image but it sounds like there could be some counterfeit Ohtani Chrome cards on the market, with at least one copy being rejected from the MVP buyback program.

Mostly BINs that I had been watching for awhile. Only saw a few auctions end today but they seemed pretty solid.

Yeah, hard to tell completely but the "off-season" ice seems to be melting and prices are trending up. Still can't believe I missed that empolyees special edition.

Not the first one that got away and it won't be the last but yeah, that one may haunt me for awhile...
