Honestly his fielding errors are a bigger concern for me

He does look awful in the field. Which that's not really new but before he always had mixed in enough spectacular "wow" plays that it made his defense easier to gloss over.

Like you, I’ve greatly curtailed my focus.
Bieber parallels is pretty much it for me right now in terms of players. I've been bidding on some Ohtani stuff and losing. Mookie is too pricey and I think will probably drop a bit through the season. Might grab some more Soto Updates(boring). I've got no younger guys I'm interested in chasing. Just Devers, Bregman and Verdugo still for you? I hope you're scooping up extra Devers Sapphires. Those are still nice and reasonable.

If anyone is looking for some higher end Tatis RCs, a few are coming to PWCC this week. Independence Day, Foilboard, Super Finest 20 and Orange 99 Retro Auto Refractor. Tatis!

Ya - pickups slow, but I mostly follow what’s on offer for them + Bellinger and Arraez. With that said it’s mostly Devers that we still spend $$ on.

Wish I could say we buy many sapphires that show up. Most (all?) graded cards these days, and we aren’t willing to pay the premium the market demands for them.

Same. Last year I think I paid just a single PSA 10 premium. Did you win that Arraez Platinum?

I’m still kicking myself for not buying that Arraez platinum from the guy who pulled it. He didn’t know at the time I was collecting Arraez.

The price ended a little higher than I was willing to go. So no luck there.

Re: graded I’m with you... very very rare I land a PSA 10... I will do PSA 9 if the card looks sharp, or BGS 9.5, if they are selling near raw prices. So I do get the occasional slab. But mostly not

Two weeks ago was peak, that was his 4 HR weekend. Then again, there are always going to be exceptions to any price range based on who the buyer is. Maybe they found the perfect card in their eyes and paid more..

My End of Year estimate is probably low... but time will tell.

Default Fernando Tatis Jr

got these two back today. there was nothing obviously wrong with them. i was going back and forth on the centering, tough to judge with these borders but they seemed good enough to me. psa is tough right now.

waited 8 and 1/2 months to get two 9’s back.

if these were graded promptly like they were supposed to be i’m sure at least one would have gemmed. oh well it’s part of the game now. i bought them raw for $85 apiece so i still made out ok.

1. Nice Cards
2. That’s a loooooooooong time to tie up a customers ( your ) assets! I realize the whole business model blew up, and PSA is shut down while they build a better mouse trap — but Man, 8+ months :eek

Does it seem like Tatis and Lindor have suffered the most this season from reduced offense and similar/increased fielding errors, and both have signed massive 1/3 of a billion dollar contracts? Were starting to get the point of not a small sample size and in Lindor's case its starting to worry me, last night or not.

LOL, Tatisboyz find it so easy to pump when he hits a bomb, but resort to targeted insults when there's nothing to hype.

You guys are stooping down to Bron-apologist level, HAHA!

Stop turning a blind eye to his 11 errors and continue to pump it to da moon!!!

I love the guy, but he's got a lot of gaps to fill in his game. Ironically it's the Tatis Homers that are shamelessly ruining my admiration for him. Embarrassing.

You're a troll that disappears when he's doing well and then reappears when he's not.

The only thing I'll be turning a blind eye to is you. Begone troll.

Typical.

I’ve been discussing tatis for years on blowout, before most of you joined this board.

Perhaps one day tatis fanboyz will learn how to accept and breakdown a player’s shortcomings and not just be blind pumpers.

Cesspool this hobby is today.

Obviously he has room to improve. That’s not bad, it’s scary!
