I think Pujols has the MOTW so far, I知 basing that off what I think fans want to buy with their vote.

Unless a card with an RC logo is nominated, that will almost always win.

MOTW is up. Think Pujols will win. I'm disappointed in the Dodgers no-hitter card. It should have been a split image showing all 4 pitchers on the front or if only one pitcher should have been Walker Beuhler.

This could be a close one since I would prefer the Torres but I think Pujols should/will win.

I think this will be a week with a pretty well split vote, which could result in a lower printed "Gold Winner" card than usual. I think Pujols deserves it, but that RC "Glyber" (they'll have to fix the spelling on that) will get some serious votes, too.

Should be Pujols in a landslide. I did vote also for Torres but would be surprised if it's close.

I received my Harper MOW cards. These were the ones you can buy after the winning card is picked. Except my cards have winner in white. Definitely an error card, as the others I have seen on ebay do not have the word winner underneath moment of the week. I’ll scan later.

I assume that the ones posted on eBay without the WINNER wordings are those with pics taken from the website and not actual scans.
I saw a post by someone else mentioning the same thing you did about the WINNER logo being shown in white (can't remember if it was this thread or somewhere else in the On demand cards).
There is one listing on eBay with that white WINNER logo showing.

Any guesses on how many of the Acuña regular will be ordered based on those ratios? It's hard to see 11 to 1 like with Shohei, but I could imagine 6 to 1 which would be make about 5,000 regular Ronalds.

Thoughts?
Week 4 ratio was almost exactly 4:1, regular to Gold Winner
(3315 regular sold versus 830 Gold Winner)

So:
Week 1 - 11:1 Ohtani
Week 2 - 2:1 Harper
Week 3 - 2:1 Betts
Week 4 - 4:1 Acuña


I got one of each Gold and so far have only voted for 1 card that didn't win, the Manaea no-hitter. Might be lowering my average a bit more this week, but I'm voting for two as a hedge again, although one vote won't for the combined No-Hitter. I'm a Dodger fan, but am happy with the proper 4 pitcher ToppsNow card from a couple of days ago. I think that card might finish last, thanks to the photo selection.
I could vote for all to be safe, but every week there is a card or two I wouldn't want at $8, even with a low print run.

Are the others actual scans or using the image from the MOTW page?


My Harpers have the Winner as well. Probably will be a UER. We'll have to see what the next week looks like. The Ohtani doesn't have it.

Topps website show the regular version cards without the white winner words. Only the gold card shows the word winner on the Topps website.

I said it, I知 not basing it off what should win but what I know will win. The RC will almost always win. I知 basing that off what the casual collector wants not you baseball purists with your higher sense of self.

Also, since this is your first post in this thread and with the fact that you致e had this profile for 8 years and just suddenly started using this profile 6 months ago. I知 curious to know, are you a PBM or is this your secondary user ID?

Houdini could you look into this?

As long as Gleyber winds up with 3,000 hits and a few titles, there'll be no problem if he wins. Let's check back here in say, 15 years, both higher and lower senses of self types alike, to discuss it.

Yep--that was me asking about it in the Now thread.

Here's mine:

not sure what a pbm is and dont care to know but fact is this is my only account, one. second, i dont need to live on this thread or post for years to be legitimate. 3rd there is no need to go crying to houdini. all im saying is 3k hits is a major achievement and if you're a real baseball fan you should understand this. also, not everyone is an investor like u come out to be. there are people that are actually true baseball card collectors. im sticking up for real baseball fans that actually collect for the love of the game and not just to make a quick buck! but in all seriousness, no need to question my legitimacy, this isnt politics. just expressing my opinion as a true baseball fan and a true baseball card collector.
