Would be even better if the backs of the inserts didn't look like they were cut with a lawn mower.....

True lol… at least it seems like most all of the inserts are that way so it’s an even playing field

I haven't meticulously inspected all my cards but does the issue apply to all inserts or only the Koi ones?

I suppose I can just check later today when I get home but figured it didn't hurt to ask either. Might not to start modifying/pulling some eBay listings if I missed something drastic.

I think just the Koi inserts

The black background makes it hard to grade but it's a beauty.

Well @ricebellypanda... Happy to report this just happened and I can join you in the "4/5 Ohtani Auto club". One box that landed today but probably ~10 total now.

Hey thanks! Just got 2 of my other 4 boxes in. Hopefully I can update later tonight with a good Cherry Blossom or two (though I'd be fine with the 5/5 or 1/1)!

Nice hit! Honestly one of the most fun 2024 products IMO.

dunquixote1 · 04-25-2025, 06:20 PM

This thread caused me to FOMO inti a case. Japan seller said they’d mark value at $500. These tariffs are a such a f***ing joke. Just a side note. And no, we aren’t winning yet.

I think I'm exactly 24 boxes in now. My dad's been dealing with a variety of health issues and, upon his release from the hospital, I had 4 boxes of these waiting for him at his house.

First box in, he hit this:

No idea if it's 4/5 to continue the trend that RBP and myself have running but pretty nice "welcome home" hit.

If these had been from Montgomery Club, I'd have expected the Cherry Blossoms to just be missing entirely and I would have pulled 12 Davis Wendzel autos. I apparently do ok with Japan products though.

You are killing it with this set. I’ve opened a few boxes and they are fun, especially with this rookie class.

Thought I'd post kinda the upper crust of ~40 boxes worth of this stuff, mostly broken in 2-4 box increments at various times. I believe I bought one of the Gold Caminero cards & a Jose Soriano Cherry Blossom and sold a Raleigh Cherry Blossom on eBay. Pulled the rest...

The lesser autos:

Best of the Light Blue /150

Best of the Jade Green /75

All of the Purple /50

All of the Gold /25

Best of the Cherry Blossom /99 - Also pulled a Cal Raleigh but sold it.

Red /5

Koi Fish Relics (Witt is to /50 - all the rest base to /150, J-Rod /25, Yordan /5... Pretty fun John Auto!

Gold Koi Fish /25

The Top-Shelf Autos

Sho

hammertime · 07-10-2025, 01:09 AM

Good lord! If that red Sho is available please LMK!

dunquixote1 · 07-10-2025, 03:20 PM

Decided to pick up 12 more boxes. I can’t complain too much. I’d have to think I got my money back. Especially since I got some of the better Koi fish collations. The Merrill auto is the 1/1. Would have preferred a big Ohtani! I can’t quit this product…!

Asian62150 · 07-10-2025, 08:25 PM

Has anyone bought boxes from "Japan_pocket_monsters_for_sale" on eBay?

Good/bad experience?

Nice 12 box rip with only the Shohei(s)/Cherry Blossom/Koi Fish but that Merrill is killer.

I'm with you... It's a product I keep pulling away from and coming back to because I can't find anything of comparable fun/value to rip.

The red Shohei from this thread was in a box from that seller! Last 4 boxes I ripped also from them - Johan Santana Auto, PCA/Jasson Cherry Trees, Skenes Jade Green, one other meh auto.
