You can read the codes?

They're so small you need a magnifying glass to read them.....

I know it's early in the release but has anyone seen any Ohtani blue ink real one autos? I've seen two red ink autos pulled already but no blue ink so I'm curious if he could be red ink only?

That's so annoying, and the printing is also always blurry cause of the card stock.

Flip Stocks have never had a different code - they are really obvious once you get one.

iPhones now have the “Magnifier” app built in to iOS. Free on every phone. Is easier to use than the camera app, imo.

Yep. I hit 2 in my case and actually found them easier to spot than those in the last couple of years.

I use the Magnifier app a lot at work. It is easier to use to look at something than the Camera app - but slower to take actual pictures with, as you have to push a button twice. Might be useful with cards needing damage disclosure.

But that works out because your heartbeat will often mess up magnified photos. Use a support for the phone, rather than holding it in your hand, is one help. I still hope to learn how to snap a photo by pressing the button on an Apple Watch, so the phone is 100% still. I think that’s possible.

Anyhow mostly posting a 2nd time to note that a similar app is available for Android phones, but you have to add it a phone yourself from the App Store. I think they are free.

That is very interesting. It does indeed appear that the Throwback Variations this year are chrome only.

It’s a cool card…I wouldn’t sell either. But he’s had autos in Heritage and Ginter for the past several years.
