So 50/50 is so yesterday. Are 50/50 cards more valuable than say 54/54 because they are a silly round number?

Haha I thought that last night. Seems like quite a longshot although I imagine it may be mathematically possible. Would need Ozuna to collapse as well.

It would be amazing if Topps did Ohtani HR & SB record inserts like they did McGwires in 1998.
one or two a box with refractor parallels.

That is a great idea! Bring back the same design and everything.

History won't care, but do current fans factor that in at all?
Last season there was a 41% increase in SB after the rule changes. Doing the math he probably would have about 36 SB now.

Does that account for his jump from 72% career success rate before this year to 92% this year?

What has Sho specifically figured out in 2024 that nobody else has compared to 2023 where league success rate declined as well as attempts?

I suspect juice

Felt like taking a pic of what I have in my Ohtani collection up to today. It's small as I collect other players and sports but happy with what I have!

Raw Cards







The Game Used Letter Patch is my 2nd favorite Ohtani in my collection. When I saw it, I knew I had to it.

Graded Cards

Maybe he’s just that much superior to all other players, like Trout used to be in the mid 2010’s.

I think he’s smarter than everyone else. I also think teams are too scared to run with guys who are not traditional base stealers even though the opportunity is clearly there.
