Thanks fellas. I realize it’s not a rookie from a purist point of view but I just love this image, plus the Superfractor up on Goldin right now inspired me. My scanner is an Epson V600 and I never scan with the lid down.

Hey guys, for any of the wax rippers from back in 2018, were Sho's autos live in Topps Chrome? I asked this before here, I'm getting conflicting info now so just want to know.

Orange and I think maybe blue wave was a redemption. Orange was reissued from that misprint error of accidentally making /25 red.

Thanks TB I remember now you mentioning that. So does that mean the rest were live?

That was my recollection. Base were definitely live since they were pretty beat from packout. A lot of BGS "Gem Mint" specials.

Fantastic, thank you. The dream of a Ohtani rookie auto pull is still alive!

seanrs1 · 02-07-2025, 04:54 PM

Looks like someone just bout a #700 Camo raw on Ebay....Trueblue?

Trueblue · 02-07-2025, 05:28 PM

Not me, but I hope whoever bought it didn't pay the full list price for a likely PSA 8.

Yeah... $4500 for a raw seems a bit crazy to me.

My PSA 9 is still a pop one with none higher

EDIT: Just hit terapeak. Buyer paid $3,800 for that raw.

After not wanting to pay premiums for 2024 dodgers stuff, the golden hour jersey # hits the bay and I immediately buy it. I felt like I had to, but face palm moment.

Thank you both! It's good to see that Topps can still manufacture a great baseball card.

Lol, the flesh is weak! Great card, the 2023 golden hour is also nice and would make a great companion piece, just sayin’…

Sheesh...

Guess this means I'm committed now...
Planning to take this along with my TC red auto to next weekend's West Coast Card Show to drop off for grading. Authentic just wasn't doing it for me.

2024 better then 2019-2023 combined.

I would separate 2019 from the 2020-2023 cards but maybe that’s just me.
I have it as

2018

2024
2019

2020-2023

Trueblue · 02-08-2025, 02:01 PM

I think the main sets from 2020-2023 are going to take a hit (rookie cup is just fine), but there are some exceptions.

2020 Finest Flashbacks - first release
2022 TC Gilded - first release
2022 TC Cosmic - first release
2023 Topps WBC - obvious reasons

Some generalizations are warranted but can't disregard some the iconic releases!

Let's just say I'm ambivalent. I'll probably make my mind when I get to the show.
