Ok good, just as long as I don't lose money on it I don't care.

Good call, as long as it doesn't go for less than the $233 I paid in 2019 I'll be happy.

I just looked it up and was surprised to see ebay keeps your history back that long (goes back to 2017). Also surprised I was willing to pay that much for a hyped scrub that hadn't done anything at that point.

WOOT WOOT!!

I should pay closer attention, they already went to auction with it, less than 24 hours from drop off. Already up over $600 and it's been listed for 5 hours. WOOT WOOT indeed!

Had to go look at his stats and didn't realize he's won MVP three out of the last 4 years and came in 2nd the year he didn't. Kinda impressive.

Oh boy, bad monkey.

Needed this card for my flagship run.

/10 so not sure when/if another one will pop up. I was able to get this one despite the color loss in the upper corners. Sometimes it's better to just pay and fill the gap, then be too picky and look at blank space where a card should be.

I'll replace it if I can find a better copy at a good price, but excited to finally land this one.

Love the image.

Great card, congrats, and big fan of that image as well. It's in my Sho frame!

Thanks. I think the AS game /10 red parallels are great if you can find them! Still missing a few but making progress.

At this point I have two 200 count semi rigid boxes full of Ohtani cards to eventually grade (one for Stadium Club and the other for everything else). I was holding out hope that PSA would change the pricing mechanism so they didn't take half the value with an upcharge but I dont think that's ever going to happen.

I may fly out and drop them off over the summer, but I may jut keep it all raw and see what happens.

Decisions...

Can't wait for Tuesday, I gotta set my alarm for 3am lol.

Thanks for sharing! What set is that from? Did you pull it or buy it on the open market?

punctilious · 03-15-2025, 08:52 AM

Just arrived! 2018 Bowman Chrome Refractor Shohei Ohtani #1 /499

I almost set the record for highest price ever paid for a PSA graded copy of this card in a fine nine (not meant to gloatl, in fact, I'm almost ashamed). That said, this was the best looking 9 I had seen yet and felt it compared very well against 10's that are selling for more than twice the price.
