You have many non baseball buyers looking to buy Soto right now and they know the Prizm brand is highly popular in other sports, so they are buying up all Soto Prizm rcs right now. No logos is not stopping anybody these days. When a Soto Prizm Blue ice can sell for over $430 recently, and a sticker auto raw can sell for $450, that tells you all you need to know. There is no logic to what people will pay for these days. The data shows that Soto Prizm is in high demand right now

The BB auto PSA 10 just went for a $1,000 so we shall see which card is more desired in the long term. I have the psa 10 best auto and I think the on card auto will win. Fun having such limited Sotos to see this king of action happening, Happy 2021 collecting everyone

Figured I'd pick up another rookie year auto before they become too expensive. Scratches are on the old case. I did purchase a new mag today though

With all the PJ and Undies love, nice to see Best starting to share some rising tide love as well. I think they look great too

All graded myself, almost all pulled myself.

You are to be commended. There a total of 185 Triple Threads Soto rookies in existence (189 if you include the printing plates), and yet people are spending more on high-graded versions of a card with a six-figure print run.

I get that it’s Triple Threads... But only 185 total cards!! (189 with the plates.)

Now we just have to see if a Prizm auto even shows up on Ebay, let alone a PSA 10. Haven't seen one in a while and don't think there are too many out there

Very pretty! I picked up an Acuna red in 2018, but forgot to get a Soto.

No wonder my $825 offer wasn’t accepted. I was waiting all morning for it to happen and then i saw “you missed out.”

Did i ever.

At the same time, Soto could have plenty of company at the top. Tatis and Acuna have plenty of fanfare. Slimboy Vladdy could show up with his thunder stick in ‘21.

So, it’s possible that Soto prices could be suppressed a little, depending on how great his peers prove to be. But then he could also be the best player in the game at a time when people have grown comfortable paying Trout-esque prices.

Trout isn't going to be declining in the near future, barring injury. All time greats don't decline in their early 30's. Trout could win another MVP, which would boost his cards.

I picked one up shortly after the release, finally got it last week - in person they are amazing! Color really pops against the Chrome finish and its a great picture of Soto. Highly recommend getting one myself!

I think it will be seen as low in 5-10 years, but I think for a release that is not usually associated with modern-looking parallels, it is about bang-on right, price wise. I think HHN is becoming a less-than-mainstream release as the years go on. I'd rather have 5 PSA 10/BGS 9.5 Update Blacks in the short term.

But damn that is a sweet card lol
