It Blowout had a Fus Ro Dah, it would be "The Call."

This thread has been a trip.

Completely missing the point with True’s shame-culture-seppuku take (that others mentioned first).

It would be one thing to dishonor yourself, your team, but to dishonor the entire nation would be unimaginable.

Thanks, Michael. Appreciate you providing that clarification. I just think we're beyond the point of reason and people will cling to whatever they can.

Me when Trueblue mentions seppuku.

I think my eyes were just watching the ones you were going to bid on but the one Ohtani I was eyeing I end up winning. That 19 Topps Father's Day blue that ended tonight. How did it go for you?

The CRASO atomic PSA 10 got shilled to high heaven and is now relisted with high (too high) BIN price. The Gold THC600 did not go for any discount at all - I had it pegged at $6.5K fair value, it went $8K. 1987 Japan Cherry blossom gold /25 even went over $400, which I felt would have been fair.

So basically, market seems healthy enough. Lol. Congrats on the blue cup!!

Thanks. I figured I would get it now before his 2nd year stuff got high. I already spend enough on his rookie stuff and game used/team signed balls.

eastbayak · 03-26-2024, 12:08 AM

Any good card shops for Ohtani/NPB-related singles/wax in Tokyo or Kyoto?

That's fine. It's just strange that you are opposite every sports fan I have met in real life. Must be a BO thing.

Then again, I've never met baseball card investors in real life either, only collectors, but this place is full of them.

TrueBlue is the only one that mentioned Seppuku here.

This whole situation is a microcosm of the disinformation era.

We live in a world where facts simply dont exist. We could see irrefutable evidence that Sho was a victim of theft (and betrayal from a close friend) and 50% of the population would simply believe it was a cover up because they want it to be true.

"The MLB would never let it happen"
"Too much money at stake"
"Ippei is the fall guy"

Take the tinfoil hats off and let your brain get some oxygen.

Unfortunately - these situations happen. Successful athletes get taken advantage of all the time. I feel bad for him.

Yes. I posted the joke in the other thread.

Not this one for very particular reasons, bruh.

He brought it here. No one else. That was his choice and quite a psycho one at that.

Are his rookies cards 75% off yet? I want a Series 2 Gold for pennies on the dollar

dodgerfanjohn · 03-26-2024, 09:10 AM

Is there a reason we can’t let the various investigations play out before we rush to judgement?

I’d say that inconsistent statements from his side are reason to doubt Ohtani’s veracity, but the media hasn’t done a good or accurate job on reporting that so I really don’t know what to think at this point.

Still buying haven't seen a drop since the news break.

The Internet is littered with casual comments that he should just seppuku based on presumed guilt - and it's not even conditional. You have another 1,000 comment threads to accuse people of being psychos. Get to it.

And feel free to drop your complaint in the nobody cares box or tell an admin

Exactly.

You made that litter, psycho.

Nothing sadder than someone desperately looking for their opinion to be validated. If you want to call my take extreme or feudalistic, okay. But stop being a parrot

I don't think you realize it was valid long before I typed it the first time.

BTW, do you speak Japanese?

Ziggy · 03-26-2024, 01:31 PM

Even if it was said as a "joke" in some other thread, many of us in this thread (myself included) do not have that context and all I saw was someone telling Ohtani to <redacted>.

FWIW I don't see how that could be seen as funny in any context and calling others names and downplaying the whole thing has a bad look IMO.

So you're more like the "lord" of this thread than the "mayor," right? Maybe the "daimyo"?

Or if we're looking for more 1:1 feudal comparison, wouldn't it be "bailiff"?

O/Utani jerseys will be worn en masse at away games.

I feel bad for the Dodgers throwing all that money at a degenerate.
