Nice buy! Looks good to me.

Wow Great Tatis Jr Lot!!

For Tatis what would be the top 3 rookie cards - Topps horizontal RC, 2016 Bowman regular league auto, any others. Thank you.

I really do think that some of the monty RCs were really well made.

I agree. A basic flagship design, retro or not would really hit the spot right now.
It’s like the folks at Topps all drive Firebirds, TransAms and Irocs. The incessant need to add moonbeams, racing strips and laser accents to the last few years is getting tired.

Couple boring horizontal additions to the PC.
Then a couple more interesting cards in my opinion.

[UGLI baby]

I love that Heritage Minors card

I’m really trying to make sense of the Sapphire base prices. Seems like either psa 10’s are overrated or raw/bgs/psa 9 is undervalued. I listed my true gem 9.5 at a fair price, based on recent comps, and it sold very quickly so now I can be an unbiased observer. I love Tatis but the market watching is fun too.

As you said, I believe you received a fair price for your 9.5. I have a psa 10 listed for a very high price. If it sells, great, if not, it will sooner or later. I made a big mistake on my Acuna sapphires and don't want to repeat that.

It was tough to let it go, but it funded another Tatis purchase (tc orange refactor 9.5)

I truly think there's a ton of people trying to cross BGS 9.5's to PSA 10s. In all sports. Feels like a lot of the people I know and follow, are doing a lot of that these days. Personally I bought a BGS 9.5 approx 2 months ago. It crossed this week as a PSA 10. Thats a $2k increase in profit...for a $75 cross. If Im looking for a 10...I would rather spend a little more for a BGS 9.5 TG and crossing it vs buying a raw or a PSA 9 at their current values.

Did you crack it or or send in with min grade

I never crack TG 9.5s when trying to cross. I always send those in the case. It doesn't always work but the math tells me to keep subbing TGs.

Another reason why the Tatis sapphire market is so interesting. I don’t see any reason why mine wouldn’t have crossed either and gl if the buyer goes that route. Some things to consider if you’re making a gem sapphire a target.

Pluses:
It’s Tatis

Sapphire name based on Acuña last year

A lot of unopened boxes may keep supply down

Minuses:
Weak effort by Topps on 2019 Sapphire. They just look like crystal refractors.

Easy gem even by PSA standards

Several colorful numbered/auto’d alternatives at same price point

I truly believe the PSA 10 pop isn't going to change much from here on out. Box prices are going to keep people from opening the product and you have to think that any raws that are still out there, aren't PSA 10 quality.
