Yes, I think the expectations are so sky high and his cards so expensive that it will be hard to get meaningful upward movement this year for most cards in the absence of a major personal achievement like 60 HRs.

Is 61 breaking any records? Anyways...So in summary...I made a statement in March about the then and near future price values...I used a popular card to track as a frame of reference....and now two months later I updated...and was right all along. Owned...B0ned...and Done. Bye bye.

What is considered Ohtani's best PRE-MLB card?

Base would be 2013 BBM 1st Version. I'm less familiar with parallels and inserts and such.

BoSoxFan1999 · 06-01-2025, 10:02 AM

Man, not even 5 years ago. ~80x increase not bad.

ThoseBackPages · 06-01-2025, 10:03 AM

At the same rate of increase, his BCA blue 150s will be worth $6.5M by then.

Shohei Ohtani has hit his most home runs in a month in May 2025 and in June 2023, with 15 home runs...

...and today is June 1.

What about the javelin. Did he do a full windup and make Roki catch it? Damn, that sounds like an awesome Japanese gameshow.

I feel like I can make that throw. It still counts if it gets there rolling, right?

2013 BBM 1st Version #183 is one of his most iconic Japanese Rookie Cards.

BoSoxFan1999 · 06-02-2025, 09:17 AM

Was reading this article about the "Messy Messi autograph" debacle, and one of the guys that received a probably fake Messi auto ultimately decided to have it replaced with autographs of 2 other players instead of waiting for a new Messi autograph:

Quote:

Topps sent Rodriguez two autographed rookie cards: one of Lamine Yamal and the other of Shohei Ohtani. After grading, the two cards are worth an estimated $6,000, which is nearly $2,000 more than the last sale of the questioned Messi Dynasty card.

I think the guy definitely came out ahead.

Can't believe how much this US153 went for ($5699 according to eBay Terapeak data).

Glad I picked up the Black when I did.

Was bored at work and created a Flag Ship Image variation guide from 2018-2025

Includes Opening day, S1/S2/Update, Chrome, Bowman Chrome, Stadium club.

Color coded to highlight rarity with PSA pop report under card image.

you need to add the 2019 OD Dugout Peeks

SleepyWill · 06-02-2025, 02:26 PM

Biggest takeaway was the obvious change in Topps direction regarding design/production in 2023.

2022 they clearly went all out and had some fantastic images and the year they introduced the Golden Mirror series it all went to sh!t.
