Cruz hits the ball hard into outs. Cute .221 batting average tho.

My opinion of him completely changed last week when he flung his bat into the stands at Citi Field then walked off the field without even looking if he hurt anyone. Freaking psycho.

Just like rookie cards from panini Promo packs.

What's the JT Realmuto Topps RC?

Help me find the RC logo and the checklist saying he had a rookie card

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...ps+rc&_sacat=0

http://beckett-www.s3.amazonaws.com/...-Checklist.pdf

Also I'd like to personally thank Topps for telling me Yordan Alvarez's rookie cards were in 2020 Topps, after he won rookie of the year and played well over half a season in 2019.

Can do only so much damage when averaging 1.5 Ks a game. The frame and raw ability is attractive but baseball is a tough sport.

Now I don’t know what I have long term —- a $299 hobby box with a silver pack coming ( which I WILL get ), neither being opened, and in 5+ years the combo will be??

ctgalloway21 · 09-20-2022, 04:14 PM

I like how all these big breakers are suddenly acting like they are the moral police releasing statements about how they are going to do the right thing and break them for customers......while still charging out breaks at over $600 a jumbo box. Layton is still filling up spots at $630 for a jumbo box. LOL

cardsin47 · 09-20-2022, 04:19 PM

Not everyone’s gotten the news…..

They don’t want to get cut off from fanatics.

Congrats on announcing you don't know baseball. A 102 OPS+ as a 23 year old less than 300 PA into his career. Keep up with the batting average though...

So we just ignore the sub .300 obp? Harper had an ops+ of 118 as a 19 year old. Joey Gallo had an ops+ of 118 as a 23 year old.

Me too. Best thread of 2022 and will be remembered for years.

1. Ultimate pumping? check (thanks brios)!!!
2. Big money at stake? check
3. People buying in too early and getting burned? check
4. Topps screwing the pooch and being vague with their response? check
5. Rampant speculation about about ratios/what's included in the silver packs? check
6. BB21 references/arguments

And last but not least: The return of the blazing saddles GIF!!!!!!!!!!!!

edit: waiting for references to puppies, hitler, and litter boxes in schools.

"The cards that were inadvertently not put into packs by its printing/packing company are card Nos. 221-225 -- short-printed cards of rookies Bobby Witt Jr., Julio Rodriguez, Spencer Torkelson, Hunter Greene and C.J. Abrams. The silver packs will include these cards inserted randomly with others."

From BO. So....... looks like its going to be tough to hit the SPs. Fire and Finest Flashback might end up being the box to hoard.
