That was my initial thought yesterday. Both of mine are pack pulled from $40 boxes, and self-graded, so I’m back on the ride too.

Wish this were 2018 with a RC logo lol
That’s a sweet card! I think the WS champs logo makes up for not being a rc...

Iconic RC Cup image and 1st Soto Sapphire, which will thus draw partial comparisons to the Acuna and Tatis RC Sapphires. Thoughts on this card in comparison with the 2018s that are rightfully 95% of everyone’s focus?

I think mine may need to marinate some more.

Ahhh that’s where it went.
It’s also why i priced my Orange sapphire gem so high, i didn’t want to accidentally sell it. But also received zero offers so it’s probably too high, not really concerned.

Beautiful card, and great pull! With TC Prism RC Cup 10s selling for over $200, I agree.

The only thing better than horizontal is a horizontal PJ.

Sapphire certainly seems like it's going to occupy the KOTH spot for the foreseeable future but I think there's a limit a card can milk out of "first Sapphire card" label when they missed out on getting one in their RC year.

I hate to be the guy that shows up in the Soto thread and takes a big dump in the beer cooler but I don't think the '19 Soto is ever going to come close to '18 Acuna/'19 Tatis/etc. As someone above mentioned (and I agree with them), I think the card is overvalued right now (and that's coming from someone who has one).

But I like the attention it brings to the other '19 Topps Soto iterations. I am a horizontist. I am absolutely prejudiced against horizontal cards. But I think they do have their purposes when used properly and this Soto photograph is one of those instances (see: 2018 Walker Buehler, for another).

But the Soto being a $1k card and the Acuna being a $200 card is completely illogical to me.

Thoughts on 104 Rainbow PSA 10 price?

I have a few Soto's I'm going to sell and found comps for the base, gold and Chrome pink. Haven't seen a rainbow sell in forever.

Thanks

I agree. But hey if someone wants to pay $1k for a 2nd year base card all the power to them. Rising tide lifts all boats. Or something like that.

If we're on the horizontal hype train, see my signature. Those should jump before anything 2019 IMO...
