**The Perennial JUAN SOTO Thread!**
 

I, for one, am huge fan of archival threads (so we can hopefully look back years later and see how ridiculously low prices were once upon a time), and now that the 2019 season is in the books this seems as good a time as any to start a new Soto thread. Hope everyone is on board with this!

Hopefully I will also have an easier time finding this one, as I always struggle to locate the 2019 thread for whatever reason. :doh:

SirTommy signing in.

Speedy signing in. This thread should be good.

I hold firm. Soto > Acuña.

Oh snap! I'll forever be on the 1st page of the PERENNIAL 2nd best player of the 2018 class. Im Loco for Soto.

Great watch on YT about Juan Soto:

Already a Juan Soto thread please stop with the spamming thanks.

All for Juan and Juan for all!

US300 & HMT55 forever

[QUOTE=towerymt;15198516]US300 & HMT55 forever[/QUOTE]

I for one will be very curious to see how this plays out in the long run. Print run is so much higher on US300, but it's tougher to gem. I personally prefer HMT55, but it honestly feels like a toss-up.

US300

Do you even own any Soto bro? I thought you were the Trout guy.

Some blog posts I wrote last year and published before the 2019 season was really underway

[QUOTE=KhalDrogo;15198539]Do you even own any Soto bro? I thought you were the Trout guy.[/QUOTE]


A few (no more than 20 thus far). Sadly, I was all in on Acuna for most of this season. I love both of 'em, but it's a bit lopsided thus far. Gonna try to even things out a bit before ST 2020! :)!

Just making sure this is saved for when Soto is considered the best rookie in the 2018 class, and people can barely remember when Acuna sold for more than $5!

What are everyone's thoughts on the World Series ToppsNOW autos of Soto? Just another card or worth going after when they go live?

Good news! He promises to stay away from this thread through the end of the year. I know that's only two months, but...better than nothing!

Whether or not he can keep his word on this is yet to be seen.

I’m late to the Soto game as well. Have bought a few HMT55’s and have several US300’s. Looking for a Gold.

I'm not late. I don't have any cards of him. I'm just here to watch and enjoy seeing him play. Juanito!!!!!

Less talk. More cards.

Nicely done!!

In the Soto vs Acuna debate, one thing definitely in Juan’s favor: Far fewer RCs to go around

[QUOTE=jjeanius;15199288]Nicely done!!

Which means they are more valuable, like how Trout only has 7 RC cards.

Buy yourself a US300

[QUOTE=speedyjg13;15199312]Which means they are more valuable, like how Trout only has 7 RC cards.[/QUOTE]

How many does Soto have?

2018 Update US300
2018 Topps Chrome Update HMT55
2018 Heritage High #502
2018 Archives #73
2018 Gallery #126
2018 Topps Fire #181
2018 Bowman’s Best #29
2018 Donruss Optic #181
2018 Chronicles #14

This is only pack pulled base rookies. I did not include any inserts or parallels.
That puts the list up to 9. Did I miss any others?

i would count the Chronicles stuff, personally

Trout only has 7.

Acuna has 532.

And...oh, yeah...Soto hit .333 in a WS win

[QUOTE=ThoseBackPages;15199394]i would count the Chronicles stuff, personally[/QUOTE]

Absolutely! Best of the Soto non logo RCs! Added that one to the list in my original post. Nice to have a list of all the actual RCs.

NON-holo, of course...

Love this card! It would be my favorite if there were logos. I think this one may end up in the top five from the list.
