Probably my single favorite Acuna card besides his Sapphire rookie.

And that card is believed to be crazy SSP I believe...think someone surmised no more than 50 (for the non-auto)?

Does his hobby ever fully recover?

No, i dont think it does.

we are in the All Rise/ShoTime Era, which i think will last for three to five years.

when that era comes to an end, the trick is figuring out who picks up the baton

If he goes 40/80, maybe.

Depends when you bought in. 2017/2018...or 2021/2024 injury seasons with certain cards...you're fine. Missed a month this year but in his age 27 season with 168 hrs/196 sbs currently. Barring an Andruw Jones or Trout falloff, 500/500 is reachable. Not worried.

Would love to see it, but that would be unbelievable if Ronald steals another 300+ bags with both ACL's repaired. He's swiped 0 so far through 9 games but I think that was to be expected. He averages 28 SB's a season for his career and was on pace for another 50+ last season, so on paper it sounds great, but I just don't see him running the same again. Definitely hoping to be proved wrong.

Injuries can occur at both ends of the field but with his history and the added risk when stealing bases it would be very unwise to focus on steals over staying healthy, also think his employer will tell him the same thing.

Time will tell and hoping more people will bail out/sell some of Ronnie's better stuff (picked up a couple of hard to finds during his second injury). The 28 sb avg includes the 46 game covid season plus the 2 injury seasons. I don't expect him to steal into the 60-70 sbs any more...but do think he can do 30-40 on a regular basis. He's been running out of the box and hitting the turns well so far 9 games in. When he feels ready, he will start stealing again...picking his spots, running smarter.

It's only been 9 games...but as I expected, his second comeback this season will be much better than 2022.

Rabs · 06-02-2025, 04:01 PM

I'm sure he's been told not to steal currently. Does he even have a SB attempt? Not that I can remember.

He has one attempt, but the pitch was fouled off.

Yes - not that he made any mistakes in his rehab last time, but he knew exactly what to do this time and how to approach it. Plus he rehabbed for 2 more months

Seems to be trending back up. I was thinkin I might get lucky last night and snag that PSA 9 Indy RC for a song. Was ~$420 with less than 5 mins to go, and I was dreaming of getting it for $700. Someone got it for $1900 lol

Haha yeah I was watching that one too, but it very quickly jumped out of my price range. Those 2018 Indy’s are sweet cards.

Makes me feel slightly less bad about what I paid for my Indy back in spring training last year...

ThoseBackPages · 06-02-2025, 08:34 PM

2018 Indys will always have their place. so nice looking.
i wish they would have not given up on them from 2019 to 2023
2024 IS great looking though

Freshmaker · 06-02-2025, 08:38 PM

They really are man. 2018 is such a classic design. Just love it. I’m fortunate to have a 252 Indy - it’s one of my favorite cards. 2019 was kinda ok, but yeah after that they just took a dive. It’s a shame

Wow - both of those cards are just gorgeous. Congrats man!

Great add! Don't see many full autos like that. Only his 2017s?

Thank you! That’s a good point. I have not seen a full auto on other years after 2017.
