Most of the post season? What were his stats in the NLDS and NLCS?

Qubits · 10-31-2024, 12:50 PM

I just BIN'ed six low-end Ohtani and Friends cards. Never stop buying!

He wasn't the Postseason MVP for sure but he still contributed in a meaningful way. Kept them from getting swept by the Padres with his 3 run HR, set a record for times on base in the NLCS, and even got on base every game in the WS. Not bad for a rehabbing pitcher that also dislocated their shoulder in the WS. Not to mention just carrying the team to get to the playoffs to start.

Now we have more to look forward to next year and beyond!!

Really glad I sold my BC #1 earlier this week. Already a big dip from when I sold it just a couple of days ago (post his slide injury).

I probably will pick up some cards in the off season, but definitely with images I like and lower pop. The BC #1 was purchased last year during the big September bump.

I still have an auto I'm selling. While I've had decent offers, they aren't high enough for me to want to sell. I'm just going to let the listing expire and come back next year when his cards go for even more money as he pitches.

Are you an Ohtani collector or do you flip Ohtani cards to make money? Either way its all good!

I can't believe his stuff is sliding. Doesn't anyone collect anymore?

I collect, and I am happy to buy at an off season discount price!!! I am also a long term collector (not an investor), so there is no pressure on me to sell any of my cards.

I have a bunch of base, but the amount of spending I have for high end (to me) is limited. I can spend like 2k max but that's about it.

I am not picking anything up yet, but at least I have the dry powder to pull the trigger on something I'd really enjoy long-term.

I bought the BC during a hype cycle and had a lot of FOMO. Lucky for me its held its value (mostly becuase of the post season), but I simply didn't enjoy the card. Worst case its got a really high pop so I could pick it up again if I wanted to.

i agree there is no reason to buy cards you dont enjoy

Agreed!

This came back from PSA yesterday. Happy to add to the collection.

JimEd14 · 10-31-2024, 03:18 PM

To add, if neither of these are Shohei image variations in any set in the next 12 months .... what are we doing???

500 PR I think? Sweet card...wish the jumbo holder doesn't cost so much so I can get mine into a slab.

Got my first Ohtani Dodgers card in today. I acutally won this a couple weeks ago but shipping was slow and it had to go through the Ebay Authentication program so just getting it in today. Worth the wait. Gold Sapphire!

Not terrible....
