The seller used ebay's AI for the description

Also not super promising, for whoever bought it -

I love making graphs so I made a couple Ohtani pace trackers, comparing this year with last year.

Thought that said price tracker and I didn't think twice about it

How does this happen with TWO levels of quality control.

Because the levels are bad and badder!

Lame.

Because the purpose of their QA is to look for upcharges, not actual quality

What software are you using?

Funny how 9/19 sticks out on those charts.

Took a gamble on a case of 2021 from eBay. 5th box in. It won’t gem but I’m totally on keeping this one raw. Hit a Judge and Soto Cherry Blossom too in the same case. Rest of my numbered cards were meh outside of a red /5 Darvish. Won’t complain!

Trueblue · 05-11-2025, 02:02 PM

2021 is my favorite year. Nice pull! Took me a few cases to get one.

I pull out this card at least twice a week to just stare at. Such a fun one for me. And I don’t even usually care about serials

You were my inspiration. Not gonna lie!

Did you hit anything else nice in those cases?

The Sho cherry blossom (that gemmed) was my biggest hit but I did get two Soto CBs, Harper CB, Trout CB, and an Ichiro MLB in Japan /25. Also a bunch of other cool cards of stars. It's a great rip with a super high floor but gets no love due to the "bust" RC class - which is obviously not what we're after. I left 12 boxes next to my 2022 stash to provide me options in the future.
