Thanks True! I've got a couple Ohtanis in that $1500-$2,500 range and they are nice cards, but I wouldn't call them high end. They are more on the high side of mid end to me (2018 BC /499 PSA 9 non auto and 2018 Archives FF auto). I've got 8 or 9 $400-$900 RC's which seems solidly mid to me. They aren't base and so are special, but let's be honest. It takes $4-$5k to get a wow Ohtani card and that's as it should be, Shohei being Shohei and all.

For the price of a mid Ohtani one can get a high end card of most any other current player. As it should be.

I'm reeeeeally wanting to expand my Soto collection right now. And his stuff seems super cheap after focusing mostly on Shohei. It's like taking practice swings with a weighted bat and then walking up to the plate with a normal one. Time to take some big hacks!

I love Soto and collect him too, but there was/is only one Sho that keeps your butt in the seat all nine innings every five days.

I also love expensive cards, but sometimes, a "win" can feel just as good as a big purchase. Picked this guy off today for significantly cheaper than it should have been listed for:

But it's not a 10 it's a 9. Is it going to magically turn into a 10 once you crack it?

Agreed on Sho vs Soto, head and shoulders difference. I've just always loved the dudes game, and what he's doing in the pressure cooker which is New York is super impressive.

Beautiful card my man! It pays to pay attention constantly and have bullets in the gun to fire at will.

I'm simply making the point that it's not fun to pay the PSA 10 premium. Would have to go to some serious measures to bump a card with all black edges. Not for me

Thanks! And yeah, I'm thinking this is a blessing in disguise for recovery. Hope he gets his full 12 hours of sleep.

That's going to be tough to top... although if anyone can do it...

Maybe a double cycle?

Does anyone happen to have a 2020 Stadium Club Autograph for sale? Graded or raw.

(Card in picture is not mine and just for example).

I wish. Missed a shimmer on eBay a few months ago and I'm still kicking myself.

Tough seeing another pulled ground ball or a breaking ball cut below the zone.

He might hit 0-8 in double header games.
