That 2019 Indy is such a great card! Good choices on your pickups.

Bring back Moments & Milestones! But do it right and each card's picture be of the actual unique event rather than a few images used repeatedly

one or two a box with refractor parallels.

He wasn't running last year nearly as much due to him pitching at the same time.

Ohtani just doesn't seem like they type of guy that would go there. But we don't really know these guys.

So, do we think Ohtani's rookie products are hitting their peak now or will it be higher when he wins the MVP?

Possibly. I should have said prices now and after he wins this years MVP. Product always takes an uptick right after a record is set/broken. I'm wondering if it will go up again after the MVP announcements.

that depends on if the breakers want to break it. if so, it could see a nice bump

All products. Cards, unopened wax, sealed factory sets.

[imbluestreak23]

I wonder how many SBs Sho needs to get this year for the naysayers to not put an asterix on his season

80? Gonna be tough to get there

Who cares? They're never satisfied.

Ohtani's manager is Dave Roberts, the fleet footed bolt of lightning who literally stole the Yankees thunder, bequeathed it to the Red Sox, and in doing so, made winners out of some of the most notorious long-time losers in the history of sports.

What can the master, Doc Roberts, do with the mere clay that is Shohei Ohtani?
Behold! You are witnessing it.
Bow down, lower your eyes, stand aside!
The great one comes!!!

It probably also helps that he's a pitcher.

[Bcr]

Still thinking about how crazy that game was. Making history in multiple ways on the same day is really incredible. Then he'll be the first DH to win an MVP. Where does it end!?

[Trueblue]

I giggle when I open his bbreference page and see his stat lines. Even a scout on drugs couldn't dream that up.

2018 panini wax has been and continues to be very strong.

He's got 8 games left...anything is possible.

This assumes that these guys who consistently find ways to try to minimize shohei’s achievements and/or criticize his play are making arguments in good faith, and are capable of being satisfied by the things he does on and off a baseball diamond. Or by who he is and what he might represent. I strongly suspect their motivations and resentments stem from other things…could be POMO, could be FOMO, could be they’re old fogeys, or could be other things.

[punctilious]

I’m looking forward to some post-season magnificence.

I guess it time to sell my lone 2018 topps update hobby box I've managed to leaved sealed since 2018. Bought half a case and busted the rest from 2018-20. Wish I had been able to leave them alone. Didn't get anything good out of the rest, so this one must have the fire in it. Time to list it.

Dunno, I think there’s legs to run farther still with Soto. “If” Soto crushes in October and resigns with the Yanks, gotta believe there’s growth potential.
