Anyone know where I can find a 2022 Heritage throwback of our friend? I held out based on release pricing, but I have not seen one pop up in since initial month. Topps printing this product to hell but keeping the throwback PR low has made them into an endangered species.

Haven’t seen them, but will keep an eye out!

Very, very excited for Ohtani's start this Sunday. Save that ticket stub (or get one if you can).

I might, if it meant watching the original MTV unplugged performance.

Ha, can't cherry pick one of the all-time greatest performances. I would have answered differently to go back in time for a Woodstock 69

Thanks for keeping an eye out on the throwback. I have the first two releases and if you fall behind on these, it's impossible to catch with that print run!

Zero. It's not exaggeration to say Arte could be the most stubborn owner in all of sports. He is the epitome of cut off your nose to spite your face which means he will not deal Ohtani no matter how hopeless the Angels get

Mister2Bits · 08-21-2022, 11:06 AM

I would legit drive 90 hours to see Nirvana live again and would drive 900 hours to be in the audience for Unplugged. Y'all are speaking nonsense.

Anyway - New page new eye candy. Low/Mid range Ohtani pickups over the past few months...

Ninja edit - Imgur is being stupid. Still can't resize images in Imgur. Will try again later. Manually sized them and reuploaded. Thanks Imgur.

That's strong! I really like that Museum!

Agree - it's been really hard to find non-napkin Ohtani Game Used pieces.

NYBBFAN · 08-21-2022, 02:00 PM

Sweet pickups!

Trueblue · 08-21-2022, 02:04 PM

Shohei not exactly sharp today but this umpire is awful.

Trueblue · 08-21-2022, 02:21 PM

There's something wrong with Ohtani. He's being pinch hit for as well being removed from the game. Hopefully it's just fatigue. None of his pitches were being located today. I wonder if it has to do with the new rest schedule.

seanrs1 · 08-21-2022, 02:57 PM

At the game today...Ohtani seemed off from the first pitch. He looked very uncomfortable on the mound and frustrated. Can confirm he does not sign autos when he pitches, but otherwise does.

He had a stomach virus.

Not great but just about the best reason for a bad day. Slightly relieved.

Guess they don't have in-n-out in Detroit.

hammertime · 08-21-2022, 04:43 PM

Well that was...sub-optimal. But I'm glad they pulled him, it was obvious he wasn't feeling good. There was a moment in the 1st or 2nd where he kinda bent over with his hands on his knees and I thought he was going to puke on the mound.

Oh, he was awful. Let's not add any filters to that one. Hope you can catch him again some time when he's healthy.

Great on-deck circle shot!

A BGS 9 S2 Clear went for 4k in the recent Goldin auction. Seems low?

That's not a Goldin level auctioning card. Too obscure and kind of niche. It's a let it sit on eBay for a high BIN or find a PC collector to sell to kind of card. Better off only selling on Goldin for well known $10K+ cards or sexy 1/1s. In terms of cutoff, I would consider selling a PSA 10 Blue Bowman Auto but nothing less. Bad judgement call by the seller.

And yes, it's low and then you account for fees and I'd be surprised if the seller broke 3.2K. There is also no PSA 10 copy in existence due to surface issues on the entire run, making even a 9 a good grade. It's that kind of knowledge that the average gaudy Goldin bidder will generally not have. I'll gladly make an offer if anyone has that kind of card to sell in the future.

I want to pick up an Ohtani RC and seeking advice on suggestion.

I'm eyeing a Bowman's Best Atomic because I like the cracked ice look. I am normally a basketball collector so I am not familiar with set pedigree for baseball. I would appreciate some feedback and suggestion. thanks

Was this 2018 S2？(i.e. RC?)

You won't get much help with such a broad question. How much are you willing to spend? Auto or non-auto? Graded or non-graded? Licensed or non-licensed (since your bkb)? There's a lot out there.

Price range 700-1000. non auto, graded and licensed.

I got this for a little over $1k: https://www.ebay.com/itm/155068247631

If you're not hung up on gem mint status, you can get some pretty sweet cards, especially at auction.

hammertime · 08-22-2022, 05:41 PM

Not in the lineup tonight, looks like he's still recuperating...here are some recent pickups. I think the foilboard was the only one I was missing, and I'm REALLY excited to get the green wing BBM. There's no way it will gem but I'm going to send it to SGC just so it matches my other ones...
