I have been selling some of my Ohtani duplicates since last month but I will be holding on to the cards below for long term.

updated Ohtani rookie Superfractor sales:

184k (Sep 2018): 2018 Bowman Chrome (pitching) Superfractor Auto BGS 9.5
90k (approx. trade value, May 20, 2021): 2018 Topps Chrome Rookie Debut (Hitting) Superfractor PSA 10
190k (May 27, 2021): 2018 Topps Chrome (Pitching) Superfractor BGS 9.5
300k (June 3, 2021): 2018 Topps Transcendent Superfractor Auto BGS 9.5

So, what's the next coveted Ohtani Superfractor to sell?

Ohtani back in the lineup tonight!

Congrats on the sales. It's definitely interesting and cool to see so thanks for sharing.

Somewhat random question, will you potentially have seller's remorse at a later point if the Superfractors climb in value in later years?

Certainly your ROI is incredible and the value may never be higher than it is now (only time will tell and that's not really the point). It's just an interesting situation. I'm not questioning the decision to sell. I think it would be tough to pass on either of the sales prices but really just curious given that it's not everyday you can sell a card for 6 figures (especially given the circumstance - i.e. this wasn't a situation where you found vintage cards in an attic).

I'm guessing your remaining collection may make it easier to not have any remorse

Thanks everyone. Ohtani was a speculative bet for me (high risk high reward) and it paid off. Do those two superfractors have the potential to become a million dollar plus card? Yes, but there is lot of uncertainty and downside risk but the new buyer is willing to take that risk. I am more comfortable selling some of my Ohtani cards for 50-60X ROI and move that money into GOAT's at this point. I still have other high end Ohtani cards at free of cost, so I will not be missing out on the long term bull run (if it happens).

A PSA 10 Finest Mystery Auto sold for 5k! Some of these prices are nuts. I love it.

seanrs1 · 06-04-2021, 09:48 AM

Based on recent sales the low end base card market appears to be dipping a bit.

hammertime · 06-04-2021, 10:14 AM

Well it has been like a week since he did anything spectacular. SQUIRREL!

Its the Mariners...how about a no hitter and a 3 HR performance!

majestik101 · 06-04-2021, 05:58 PM

Good. Let's get this thread back on track. Enough talk about how his cards are making clecters rich. While that's great and all, cards are only one facet of the story.

Let's get back to talk about the actual player.

Rage · 06-04-2021, 08:20 PM

I love watching Shohei play baseball

I love collecting Shohei's baseball cards

Let's go! pitching tonight!!

He can maybe make up for it with a 4 K inning.

With 2021 umpires, never say never.

I just meant we've already seen him strike people out on wild pitches and have them reach 1st base a couple times this season.

Trueblue · 06-04-2021, 09:49 PM

Ohtani does not look as sharp today with the break in his secondary stuff, but he is commanding a lot better. I think it's fair to say that he looks like a pitcher and the command is steadily improving.

He looks off at the plate - needs to get his feet back in sync. Looks like a different swing upper half versus lower half.

He is throwing economically. I hope he finishes 7 today.
