Collectors don't, investors do.

What he said although I hardly think Soto is top 5.

Kidding aside, that was easily one of my most fun pulls and really helped accelerate my reentry into the hobby back in 2018. While I'd obviously have preferred PSA not damage the corner, it certainly has a more colorful backstory as a result!
Very interested in your clear Soto. Shot you a PM.

Nope. He's having a very good but not as remarkable of season that he had last year. I guess they can't all be 8 WAR seasons.

Correct. If he merely keeps the current power for another 7 seasons then he will be at 500 HRs before age 34. Something between Griffey and Arod.

It's a PSA-6, and probably not for sale, if I had to guess.

I think one issue is all his early cards are him as a National, yet he's going to be the all time Met. If you're a die hard insane obsessed Mets fan, you don't want him as a National. If you're not a Mets fan, you're more likely to chase Othani as he will always be more popular.

he's way too cheap. get in now, won't be this way forever. pujols stuff was like this for awhile too. but the year-after-year performance is undefeated long term in the hobby.

alternatively, if you don't think he's too cheap, you should think really carefully about the prices of almost everybody else.

On a long enough time horizon the value of all cards is 0

hahaha, so true. but there will probably be an opportunity to make a buck on juan soto in the medium-term horizon if that's your jam.

The Striz will absorb it and use to buy/trade into a higher grade clear if I had to guess.

Would not have predicted him dropping his first 30/30 (actually 40/30) season out of the blue this year. Love to see it.

Made my first Soto pickup in a while last night (sadly still not the missing WBC 'S' booklet). Will share when it's in hand!

His rookie cards will be fine, regardless of uniform. I can see his Padres or Yankees cards being on a lower tier, especially long term. But rookie cards are rookie cards.

There's still an outside shot he could get to 40 SB and bag his first 40/40 (along with 30/30) season. With as often as he gets on base, he'll have plenty of opportunities for SBs.
