Yep, buying Roki is not a venture I would expect to profit on

Not if you were buying now. Those early-in (WBC/NPB) will be happy, methinks.

I fortunately was a big WBC collector.

I'll treat Roki's cards the same way I'm treating the Sho 50/50 set buys. Zero monetary expectations

I had to get over my engrained professional instinct of avoiding bad ROI. The chrome cards themselves are very nice. Sticking to chrome - blue to hopefully complete a mixed set.

Ha! Chrome Blue's have as good a chance as anything at holding. They are beautiful, but pricey.

I bought one Murakami BBM rookie in 2023 for $8 and it last sold on ebay for $65. I'm going to be RICH!

Is there any value to Sample packs with stars on top? I have a TON with Ohtani, Judge, Trout, others on topps from 2021 and 2022.

I'm considering offing some to fund my Ohtani autograph fund. (I have 1000s of the packs overall)

It had never been seen publicly until recently. PSA published a blog post "top 25 graded cards from the 2000's", and included that super in the list.

It's just super ironic that the re-signed (or forged) red BCA made that list.

Roki was probably my biggest money maker in 2024. "Prospecting" Japanese dudes is fun, and there's a lot less competition.

Omg, yeah I didn't initially notice that the Red has a newer-gen signature Also, that card has sold at least 4 times since 2021.

Went to a local card show today. Was not expecting to see a dealer with this fire! These are the type of cards I expect to see at a large regional show or the national.
