I agree. Some of the cards that float my boat don’t float others. I like Soto printing plates, odd autos and obscure rookies.

Nice no signature Archives

With a print run of about 50 I see that becoming a big card. I have the Venezuelan back as well, people seem to care less about variations on the back

Same here. I bought the following cards raw since the summer
2018 Update Chrome (2) and Chrome debut
2018 Update Chrome Pink
2018 Prizm Hyper
2018 Prizm Red Wave PSA 10
2018 Bowman's Best Atomic and Refractor

Best deal was the pink. Got it for $220 and I'd be shocked if it doesn't GEM

you will not regret it

Not a card and not an investment piece but got this delivered today (photo from eBay, mine is still boxed up after verifying it’s in there).

I saw Soto many times during his brief stints in Hagerstown in 2017 and 2018. Even have his signed game used jersey from 2017, and a strike out ball. I loved going to Hagerstown game very very much. In retrospect I should’ve had the conviction to buy more Soto chrome autos after his 2017 when it was clear he’d be a superstar (to me, anyway), but $40 still felt like a lot back then lol.

Anyway, happy to add this to my collection. Not too many come up for sale and a nice little piece to remind me of the times I saw him up close and personal.

Wow! What a cool display piece...Museum quality imho!
Congrats!

$431 for a Blue Ice Soto

I was in, then I was out. What's this on the back? I'm not sure.

A PSA-10 did $417 back in September. I would have liked to stay under $350 for this one. Ebay 1/1 + auction never disappoints!

NCWolf · 12-23-2020, 05:43 PM

I was watching it too... Strongly considering putting mine up for auction after seeing that! Whew.

RookieAddict · 12-23-2020, 05:43 PM

Excited to get the blue ice in hand. Way better looking than the topps update imo.

ThoseBackPages · 12-23-2020, 05:45 PM

His Blue Ice (PANINI SAPPHIRE, btw) is /149

and that he has no Topps Chrome Sapphire RC adds to its appeal

RookieAddict · 12-23-2020, 05:50 PM

My thoughts exactly. Also looks nicer than his update imo and less people have it.
