HMT32 RD parallels convincingly outselling the HMT1 counterpart lately. I know a lot of people consider HMT1/US1 repetitive with #150/700, but it's an interesting hierarchy shift. I wonder if it'll stick.

This was happening 15 months ago as well.

That PSA 10 HMT32 gold refractor that ended last night sure was shiny. Understandable how that would outsell a gold HMT1.

I’m a fan of the RD hitting image as well. I think the US285 Golds are a solid purchase at current prices, especially with how well the refractors of the same image are doing.

I’m also a big fan of Judge’s RD hitting image. I was able to afford a HMT50 refractor /250 of Judge, Ohtani…not so much.

It was definitely gaining steam but I believe US1 still held the edge. I think it's interesting that HMT32 outsells HMT1 but US285 parallels don't consistently outsell US1 - look at black/blue sales. Maybe there is something to those collecting chrome (tend to be newer collectors) that don't care about "tradition" and just want batting.

There was a time when all RDs were a step child worth a small fraction to proper rookie counterparts (besides Harper). I guess this is still the case for everyone except Sho.

I followed them very very closely and HMT32 was actually significantly ahead before the plummets.

It actually surprised me today to read that it had fallen behind again as I stopped monitoring in the last year.

Here's the HMT1 versus HMT32 Refractor PSA 10 sales for the time period you're referring to. I don't see any significant lead. I have always been talking about parallels, not base.

HMT1

HMT32

HMT1

HMT32

You said US1, not HMT1.

Either way if we are talking US1, I know my own sales, and HMT32 was significantly ahead of US1.

Okay.. so here is US1 versus US285 Gold PSA 10. Same story.

US1

US285

This was my point below, which you responded to. I interchangeably used HMT1 with US1 since they are the same image, but that came later.

Tim · 08-30-2024, 03:26 PM

Cut me some slack; I'm distracted by the Judge thread where someone said Ohtani's offensive career stats aren't even in the same league as Judge's.

All good. To be honest, I wasn't sure if I was right, so I ran over to fact check myself lol.

Anyone want to place a wager on if this card ships and passes AG? I give it a 2:7 odds of it being successful. My first rockie card
