whats the consensus on the 2018 TC Sapphire Base Ohtani (Pitching)? It commands a huge premium, wondering if its a good buy money wise / investment. I think it's beautiful but want to be smart at the same time.

Thought these were just base, but they are metallic.

Speaking of opinions... what are your thoughts on Ohtani’s ‘18 SC variation?

Is the Angel's team set his official first card from Topps?

I guess his 1st Topps card is the 2017 Topps Now...

I have a feeling that his first card came from the Topps Now series (2018 ST-4?). But I could be wrong.

I stand corrected.

Ohtani with a HR every 3.3 games;
I think he will hit 2 HRs in this 5-game week....

...However, the starting pitchers the Halos will face this week have given up very few HRs this year...

Safe to say that Luis Garcia owns Shohei Ohtani

I'm excited for the PWCC slate that was just posted ending next week. 4 Sapphires, some indy days, a black

Edit: What's the new method for seeing best offer accepted prices?

michaelstcloud · 05-11-2021, 12:19 PM

how do the sapphire compare to the numbered TC refractors? they're unnumbered yet trade around the same as a gold /50

Sapphire have quickly become THE ROOKIE CARD to own for many players.
But with Update RC of Ohtani still being more popular than S2 RC of him, I am not sure how far his Sapphire will go.
Ohtani's Sapphire uses his S2 image (same as regular Topps Chrome), whereas Acuna Sapphire has his bat down image used, and Tatis with his S2 flagship image, which explains why they are popular.

Sapphire is pretty awesome, but I'd gladly take the gold for the same price..
