There could be a bump for Devers, Frazier or Hoskins who are in that as well. But I agree Acuna and Soto will always be the draw

He liked my 2018 Bowman Prospect /150 (blue) and Soto’s very first Topps Now card.

HMT55>US300

US300 gave birth to HMT55

Nice card Arthur. Since we are on the flawless Juan cards...
Reggie inspired me to pick this one up last year...

It’s a hidden gem with quite some upside and well worth it as it’s a great looking pj card. If you can get a hold of one get it!

This man gets it as well as many others - proven by market.

Yes! I love that card! Only /20 made!

NOTE: It strangely has a diamond on the card too

Oh I mean Soto & Bieber* to clarify. They are the exclusive to update rcs. Acuna too would be just part of the bump, because of series2 chrome sapphire that Soto and Biebs don’t have.

I’m a sucker for oddball cards and in 2019 the throwback Thursday’s hit a nostalgic home run with the TMNT cards. Every player featured is a teenager (Soto, Griffey, Ruth, Trout ). PR is only 557

Not worth much but a cool card

Not sure what a Soto Rc w a print run of 406 should be, but I think you’re right.

I’m a fan of this one as well. 700 PR.

KhalDrogo · 01-01-2021, 05:36 PM

Was a nice $20 raw pickup back in the day.

SGC300ier · 01-01-2021, 05:38 PM

I like that too. Sharp looking card.

It is ironic that this thread doesn’t go off until long after the season ended.

So many people in general late to the Soto party but always better late than never.

The lack of 2018 Soto RCs is a HUGE advantage for his value. Combine that with his play and it’s a perfect match.

Glad I got in early.

Trying to look back and see what Trout Update boxes sell for

Got one for $199 yesterday on Myslab.

Really like this card also and PR may cross to BGS eventually dual young superstars always wins.
