We shall see soon enough

Argh!!! I bid $225, and just missed it... should have had more strategic thinking

Great hit! Saw someone on here showing they had 2 of them... I'd been stalking that card for a while

Nice! You took the $270 PSA 10... honestly with where the raw ended up, yours seems like a deal

Just a few weeks ago a raw went for $115, so I was hoping for something more similar to that, and didn't bid aggressively for the graded one... guess you were smart!

2 Acuna Factory Set PSA 10's just sold in the last hour. first for $75 and then another got listed at $85 and bought withing a few minutes. Better watch out for those, only one other on the market right now and its at auction ending Sunday. I mean they're more rare than the regular update, shouldn't they be going for more?

With all these base PSA 10s closing in on $100 I feel like some on card autos for $200 or less are a better buy. Am I the only one thinking this way? I picked up a five star blue /25 for 200 today as an example.

Yeah I think there was consideration of him taking over center once Ender left, and even as early as this year if Ender got/gets traded, but unless Pache starts to falter in development then he’ll likely be there in the next year or two. Part of me would love to see Acuna there, and he would be on most teams, but he’s not as good defensively as Ender or Pache.

Yeah I was surprised how high the raw ended today but I am very happy with getting the PSA 10. Honestly surprised it didn't go for more being a Probstein auction. I would have gone higher one it due to the 8% eBay bucks and I still had my eBay bucks from last quarter to use towards it. Perfect storm!

I picked up a PSA 9 today for good measure. It's what I could do after the bat down I just purchased. lol.

I also think there is a lot of room for growth on these.

They weren’t marked down on the box or shelf, but they did ring up for $8 and change.

I’m still in disbelief at the amount of Acuna cards that I pulled from just 5 hanger boxes. Three base RCs, one 35th insert, two Rookie Debuts, and two of the duals with Albies! Thank goodness for terrible collation (thoughts and prayers to the poor fellow who evens out my odds). 3 of the 5 boxes had nearly the exact same sequence of cards, front to back (even the inserts).

Other cards of note included one Juan Soto base RC, 3 Juan Soto rookie debuts, and a pile of Ohtani, Hoskins, Buehler, and Torres which included a foil RC.

Very nice. My last blaster, 4 hangers, and 6 fat packs had no Acuna's (or Soto's) so in today's socialist environment, I think one of those Acuna's is mine.

With base Archives PSA 10 going for $43, feel like a blue /25 is a good deal at $230

I would be extremely happy with your PSA 10 for that price

Have a sealed box of HHN staring me in the face right now. Had a few cocktails while watching the draft here in Nashvegas and feeling a bit frisky.

I think you bought that one from me. I feel like I might have underpriced it because it had a lot of interest before it sold, but I have one more coming back from PSA soon so I wasn't as worried about it. Congrats on getting a good deal and it'll be in the mail tomorrow.

I’ve got an Update Jumbo case, an Update hobby box and a HHN hobby box saying that same thing!!

There are four others on there right now in the same ball park price wise. Just have to fumble with the search a bit. It seems sellers have a hard time on what to call it currently. I've seen complete set / factory set/ bat up, etc.

I would have went the 10 route ,but my wife would have killed me after my recent buys. lol.

Appreciate it.

And here I was initially thinking it would be August before we hit the $100 mark....maybe I should have said $200!
