That Archives auto caught my eye at release.
In late 2019 I was underbidder on one that ended at $142. That’s as close as I’ve ever gotten to landing a nice card of his.
She’s a beaut!!

It's Archives. I know Archives is considered near bottom of the barrel of licensed products, but there are literally 0 of these available on eBay right now. Bought mine for about $230 some months ago. Think it's pushing $1k yet? $800? Gotta be well over $600 right?

Maybe Ohtani has a different kind of market, because of the Japan factor (just speculating), but it would sure seem to be a solid indicator of what the Vlad could go for…assuming this sale is real.

Haha, the sale is real and so is the sale of Transcendent super. This is from two years ago when I acquired the Transcendent super. A trip down the memory lane

I am not insecure.

I am not insecure.

I am not unsecure.

That's amazing to look back and I loved the part where you said (in essence) "buy the card not the chance."

@pcp
To recap:
By May 2019, you were able to get the 2 Ohtani Supers for less than 9k(?),
and sold both for a total of $490k last month;
more than 50x return on your investment in less than 3 years.

Have you had a better return on any of your other sports card investments?

Not many investments offer those kind of returns

This makes me just so pleased with myself that last year, when the Vlad TC super became available, I tried to haggle it down from $6k to $4k, meanwhile allowing for someone else to hit the BIN.

Not that I would expect the Vlad to sell for quite as much as the Ohtani, but still………

Congrats to the PCP. That’s the kind of ROI that dreams are made of.

This is probably the highest ROI so far. I purchased an Acuna TU Black/67 for $200 (plus $20 for grading) in 2018. It is a BGS 9.5 and will be up for auction next week. Not sure how much it will fetch and if it will yield more than 50X returns.

With the way Ohtani autos are selling, his signed memorabilia on Topps dot com seems like quite a good deal.
I was going to buy the signed authentic jersey with 2018 ROY and Kanji name inscription ($1,500), but that has sold out in all colors already.

I know cards and memorabilia have whole different market and interest, but just another way to collect if you want his signed stuff.

Nice find Dan!
You can always tell the scope of someone's stash by the magnitude of the stuff that gets thrown into forgotten misc boxes.
For instance, I'm tickled when I find a 5-spot card. Others, not so much.

Thanks @pcp.

Thanks Shohei, for all the good vibes and high ROIs.
