What is the one on the left called, and which year is it from?
I suppose the product that it came out of is Diamond Kings(?) by the looks of the logo on middle bottom.

Congrats, great pick-ups! Update is one of my favorite images. Is Finest Flashbacks the raw red that ended on or near a holiday? Thought about bidding on it but passed. If so, was a great price 😀

Thanks!
I just looked it up on ebay and found out it is such an expensive card!
It's a beauty though.

Thank you! I am strangely prouder of the other cards that I graded myself rather than bought as a 10. Can't really find much rare '18 stuff to grade (gem) anymore but it doesn't feel good paying that premium.

I believe there were two of them that sold on ebay and I bought the first one. I don't remember the amount but yes, it was reasonable. I have a nice FF Ohtani stash coming back from PSA I'll share soon.

We all know the MVP race is between Judge and Ohtani, but let’s be honest, what Ohtani is doing on a very bad Angels team is far more impressive than what Judge is doing on a very good Yankees team. Ohtani deserves the MVP. HE IS MUST SEE TV!

seanrs1 · 08-19-2022, 09:50 AM

I am sure this topic has been discussed...but what is the best type of pen (and pen color) for obtaining an in person autograph? I was wondering if the type of pen mattered if the card was chrome vs normal cardboard.

IMO, it all comes down to September. Last year Ohtani fatigued down the stretch, but had enough early season success to put him over the top.

Right now, I think Judge had the early momentum, but Ohtani is catching up.

Should be a tight race unless someone really blows up.

Enjoy - hoping to see some fireworks with Trouty back!

Good to see so much enthusiasm for Ohtani all over the country.

While taking a break from teaching the kids in the velocity thread, I opened some Heritage and pulled this 1 of 1…

.248 this year for sure

Well that wasn't the most exciting game, but the Halos won! And I wasn't mad about a quick game after getting up at 5AM and driving for 9 hours. I'll go back Sunday to see him pitch, if the weather cooperates.

You are one dedicated Ohtani fan. I don't think I would drive 9 hours if Kurt Cobain came back to life and Nirvana was playing live.

Very, very excited for Ohtani's start this Sunday. Save that ticket stub (or get one if you can).

Haha, well I mean he wasn't the sole purpose of the trip...my wife and I are both from Toledo so it was a good excuse to go see family for the weekend.
