Or one Blue/Green/Purple RASO.

I am pretty sure Trueblue bought a blue /150 in 2021 (or 2022) for like 5k. I wish I had seen the light! Live and learn.

When the next baseball superstar/goat emerges I will know what to do!

Love that card. These are unnumbered but seem pretty rare. Do we know the print run on these xfractors?

They were retail exclusive to blaster boxes. Each blaster box came with a pack of 4 xfractors which is why Blasters are so expensive. Not sure on the exact print run.

I believe the refractors were more rare than the X-fractors as well

Edit: as they came from the hobby box chrome set which had one chrome card per box rather than (as stated above) 4 x-fractors per blaster

IIRC, it was a 300 card set so both are very rare. I ripped 3-4 boxes and hit one base Soto shuffle, zero Ohtanis (1 Ohtani insert).

Mail day! Haven't bought anything for awhile and was going to wait for the off season....but FOMO happened.

2018 Topps Archives snapshots black and white SP.

I am not great at math, but by my calculation the PR is ~150.

2018 Topps series 2 S-54 green.
I believe these were inserted in some blister packs. I don't know the PR and I have never found the odds published. But based on frequency on Ebay and the PSA population it has to be lower than the blue and black /299.

These have been the types of cards i have been focused on due to PR and feeling they are undervalued in the market place.

I ripped around 12 blasters and hit a Judge for my PC but no Ohtani or Soto. I think I acquired 3-4 copies of the Ohtani xfractor while the Soto shuffle craze was going on

The Chrome I thought was only a 90 card set.
These differed from the 300 card base set for 2020

Stadium Club had two releases in 2020.

1st was Stadium Club (paper) which was a 300 card set and had a 90 card chrome parallel set as hits.

here is Ohtani's card (not my card - mine is ungraded)

2nd was Stadium Club Chrome which had a 300 card chrome set. Which looks like the xfractor above.

The images for the 90 card parallel set are different than the images for the chrome set but I believe they share the same number.

Officially handed off the orange bc 9.5 auto today

All funds received. Crazy I bought that card for 7500 in 2021. Very difficult to not accept the gain.

On to hunting the next big fish

Speaking of Stadium Club - this came in today and I've been searching for one for quite some time.

The rainbow foilboard has a print run of 25 and odds at 1:147

Members Only are 1:256 - Does that equate to a print run of ~15?

Card looks fine - think its the edges on the back which I dont really care about.

There's two 7's, one 8 and a 9 on the pop report.

Only 11+ minutes but very informative so far.

With SGC being on life support, where does everyone sit on this black flagship?

Went for $6,750.
