17 of which may or may not have been removed from circulation to create the 2020 Transcendent VIP stamped /17 cards. People refer to them as "buybacks" but it's entirely possible they were able to use old stock replacement cards - who knows?

Yeah, between acuna and Ohani, it is pretty well etched in people's minds how short-printed 2018 Sapphire is. I wouldn't think the dilution of latter years impact that.

Hmmm 2nd year card it's not that special! Now the 51 Bowman that's his only rookie!

I'm just messing around with you! What grade did you get in the Mantle?

TC Sapphire is now THE chromium brand for baseball cards. it has neutered Topps Chrome IMO, as they are shiny AND base cards, where Topps Chrome are not shiny (refractors are not base cards, as they are a parallel)
That only remains true so long as Topps doesn't release an even more premium chromium brand that captures the hearts and minds of the collector. Gilded probably already there, but Ohtani doesn't have the gilded option.

Realized I hadn't taken a "family" photo of the Ohtani PC since I added the BBM stuff. Here goes:

Beautiful collection!!! I wish I had all the high end Ohtani RC's like you!!! BTW...your 2018 topps gold label is mislabeled. It looks like yours is a black and not a base.

I love a good SGC or BGS discount. Also I actively avoid 10s and only ended up with BBM 10s due to impatience.

I'm anxiously awaiting years of Ohtani+Mookie and Ohtani+Freddie cards to expand the Ohtani and Friends wing of the collection.

Mookie being my 2nd favorite active player, I will likely try to pick up an indy and black of every card they both appear on so long as Topps doesn't make the parallels look awful again.
