I was hoping to but that went way above my budget.

Yeah, I tapped out at $120.

Holy crap, that was a strong sale.

I should've followed everyone's lead a little earlier. Looks like I missed the boat on Hunter.

Oh well. I'm counting on Javier to take me to the promised land.

I think Greene is officially over-priced right now, but I was able to snag a few cards. I’ll share here when they arrive.

I tried to buy some cards of him about a month ago but I was too cheap to dive in at what I thought were slightly surprising prices then so unfortunately with timing being what it is, I’m out.
I guess throwing 100 and finishing like he did will do that. His potential upside is stratospheric but with the team, the ballpark and such it’s just not a cheapie flier anymore at his current ask.

I blame this thread for driving up his price.

Just kidding…kinda

Yeah, I figured why pay $250 for a Topps black, when I could just pay $50 for a BCA?

Probably the best pitcher that isn’t being talked about in this thread. And he really doesn’t have many rookie cards, which makes the TCU refractor a nice sleeper.

(Not to be confused with the TCU football that was put to sleep in the National Championship.)

Most recent pickup. Surprised Nola doesn't get more hobby love.

Those TCU refractors(and X's n golds) are real nice options IMO eye. I had a bunch of these along w/ 16 BC color(non autos) for a while but moved on at a solid if unspectacular profit. I gotta think if he avoids any other legal issues and stays with LA his Mexican heritage can only help his hobby status in the future too.

Beauty!- Same story as Urias I think, underrated consistency and a good market team should build a good long term following at some point. Had the Nola flagship rainbow including the clear/10 at one point but sold it for tires or something I dont recall anymore

2018 Independence Day is my favorite parallel by far!

LVDan · 01-10-2023, 05:15 PM

2018 Indys are gorgeous
2019 were decent
The current versions don’t do it for me in nearly the same way. (Red stars parallel?)
Beautiful card!

Agree, the last two offerings have been low effort.

2020 is my personal favorite because as an Angels homer it is a sweet color match with the big team logo. If I were a fan of another team, probably wouldn't like it.

Hollywood42 · 01-10-2023, 07:17 PM

Here's my latest few Joe Ryan adds. Still feel like I'm way behind on his rookies but that's largely due to there being a crap ton of different products these days. Starting to be able to find some pretty solid deals after he was riding pretty solid for awhile

The ‘21 and ‘22 make the ‘20 look special. They’re basically factory-set parallels now.

I know a lot of people prefer the full border flagship, but the borderless approach lends to more creative parallels—which we’re not likely to see for Indy anytime soon.

It’s a relatively small distinction, but the Bieber just might be the best Indy RC of any pitcher. Unless Flaherty bounces back…

Did someone say Lodolo?

TruBlueBrewCrew · 01-10-2023, 08:57 PM

I’d like to throw Freddy P’s Indy RC in the ring as well.

This one's my favorite.

Fully extended. Beautifully framed.

I’m not afraid to have a few Joe Ryan’s in my collection.

MiamiMarlinsFan · 01-10-2023, 09:31 PM

Nice ‘Dolos, 5429. I only have one myself, but I’m glad I have at least one.

Someone who blacks out the serial numbers… I’ve long been curious: why?

Also, great Lodolos. I especially love the black.
