There is an article on MLB that explores the reasons

At a certain point they should probably not let him keep stealing and risk an injury heading into playoffs

Just needs to pass ebay's authenticity check but I won the 18 Topps Archives blue /25 that ended earlier today. Comes with a silver and purple too. Only one other bidder, who apparently won the Soto rainbow lot from the same seller.

Inspired by another thread I asked AI:

What is Ronald Acuñas best baseball card?

However, one of the most highly regarded and sought-after Ronald Acuña Jr. baseball cards is his 2018 Topps Update Series Rookie Card (#US250). This card features Acuña in his rookie season with the Atlanta Braves and has become an iconic card in the hobby. It is highly valued due to its significance as his official rookie card and its scarcity in high-grade condition.

I didn’t even see that listed. Did you have any of those?

That’s a good buy on that lot. I wanted to get it the mix, but decided to put the funds elsewhere. It’s an underrated pic and set for him.

Nope. I've wanted a blue for awhile but someone seems to always snatch them up. They don't show up too often from I've noticed. I noticed the lot towards the beginning and made a note to remember to bid on it.

I was happy with the price. I've been trying to spend less lately but something like this always shows up and makes me want to bid.

Freddie Freeman never slows down.

I hope he gets closer so that chasing MVP buyback cards combined with placing some bets make it intersting and profitable.

But of course ACUNA better win

we don't talk about Freddie Freeman. he is on the "he who shall not be named" list for us Braves fans.

F that guy

but yeah, he's an awesome player.

Think that was me previously, ha. I owned 7. I just sold 2 on eBay - PSA 9 and PSA 10. I still have 4 of them with 2 more listed. Absolutely love the image and blue parallel. You’ll love it in person!

Haha...I feel that way too. It's hard to root against FF even if you're not a Braves fan, but it was definitley the right move...Matty is a beast and will only get better for the next few years. In years 3-5 is where you'll really see the payoff for us.
