I dunno. Sounds more like a pump it up comment to me. The "we" is probably
only buying on the cheap right now. The Rainbow PSA 10 sold on myslabs for
$800ish. Cheap.

I'm not selling because I sold a bunch in the offseason and now am keeping
what's left since I collect too. Probably a bad move. I mean he's hitting .250
right now and he's now a Padre. Stuff could be looked as pricey right now
and the current sales seem to agree with this.

Not a pump. I’m in a IG chat group of just Soto collectors ( lots of them post on this thread too) and we’re talking about how this may be a good time to pickup some harder to find cards.

But if you want a pump, here is one for you. Make sure you have this card in your collection. It’s the “I’m leaving” card. Soto packing his bags and moving on....

You seem pretty concerned with how much Padres fans are gonna be willing to spend on Soto cards when in reality it won't have much effect on his prices at all regardless. He has a national market that dwarves both his former Nationals fan collectors and his now Padres fan collectors

This. 100%. Soto is bigger than either fan base.

Give it time. Moving a Hosmer supercollection doesn't happen overnight

Nice card beef.

Is grandpa Maas playing tonight?

3-4 with a dinger in Padres debut is my prediction

Really? You'd think they could just sell it to the Padres' owners, they seem to be totally cool with continuing to spend millions of dollars on him.

Drat, I would have been a buyer at 21,212.12 - but seeing how far off we are, I've already (just now) earmarked the funds to something else.

So close!
