Anyone have any info/insight on this card?

Thanks for the reply! What is the story on the wrapper redemption? What wrappers? Were they from packed out cards or given at the national? Just trying to get a feel for the overall print run/value.

From Panini:
Silver-wrapped and hot off the presses, the finished 2018 Donruss Baseball wrapper redemption packs arrived safely and soundly to Panini America HQ earlier this week. Almost immediately, they began making their way to customers who submitted 2018 Donruss Baseball wrappers to qualify for the promotion. Each three-card pack features new 2018 Donruss Baseball cards of Shohei Ohtani, Gleyber Torres and Ronald Acuna Jr.

In addition to base Rated Rookie cards for each player (#’s 281, 282 and 283, respectively), the wrapper-redemption program also includes one variation for each player that includes a different front photo and a unique name treatment. Overall, variations fall roughly one in five packs.


There are also super-rare autograph versions for each player. We’ve provided a quick breakdown of the base cards and variations in the gallery below. You can still participate in the wrapper redemption program while supplies last by sending your empty 2018 Donruss Baseball wrappers to: Panini America, 2018 Donruss Baseball Wrapper Redemption, 5325 FAA Boulevard, Suite 100, Irving, Texas, 75061. Collectors receive one wrapper redemption pack for every 24 wrappers submitted.

Thanks for the info! So no way to know how many of these are out there...but it's at least a SP.

Based on Ebay sales they seem pretty rare. I am betting they appreciate in value over time....but who knows!

I have been buying! I have had to adjust the prices I am willing to pay after his cards have jumped in price. Before the jump in prices I would buy any RC that was priced right. Now I am focused on RC I don't have or cards I think the market has priced wrong and I think should go up in the future. Will post when I get the cards in hand.

Well just as soon as I unpacked my cards, I'm packing them up again.

Milton is coming. I'm very worried.

Pray for my city guys.

Definitely!

Have some friends (more like mi familia) in Tampa that we are concerned about.

Buy and forget bro

Just buy and forget

If the last few sports card eras hold true, total hobby dollars will broadly flatten out and then breakup and re-consolidate to the most prolific players. I think there is a limit to what an ultra modern star could be worth but I think the consolation is going to push it to the next level. That is if you believe Sho is one of those players

Saying a prayer for you Floridians in the zone.

Agree. Can't figure out a reason though.

It's just time at this point. Once he gets to 10 years service time...

Postseason exposure won't hurt either

[seanrs1]

Anyone on here collect Ohtani topps bunt digital cards?

Thanks my dudes. All boarded up and hunkering down. The projected path of the eye is moving south and is no longer directly over my house so that's nice, but things can change quickly.

It's going to be a long night tomorrow that's for sure. Pray for Florida.
