Cool, thanks. I checked out Ebay and I see an unscratched redemption card auction that is at $510 with 3 days left!

hammertime · 06-02-2023, 01:18 PM

I paid $550 for that exact redemption back in March.

I had picked up several packs of 2023 Series 1 from Michael's due to them having a 30% off sale, getting some interesting cards but nothing of any actual value. Then someone told me that I should look into buying hobby or jumbo boxes as they had much better odds of getting inserts and special parallels, so I went to the local card shop and picked up a hobby box of Series 1.

My 4 card silver pack included 35th anniversary '88 versions of Outman and Rutschman, so I thought to myself "Hey, not a bad kickoff to my box!".
At this point, you're probably going "Why is this guy posting in the Ohtani thread?". About halfway into the box to my disbelief I discovered this:

I redeemed it online last night and now it's the waiting game. Anyone have any idea how "rare" this card is? Seems like none of the actual cards are out in circulation yet so don't even know what it looks like!

Awesome pull! Welcome to the forums

Still throwing that sweeper to lefties huh?

The first inning issues are starting to get annoying and old.

2-2 with the triple out of the way. I'm on watch!

Everyone on here knows I think Ohtani is the best player in baseball and the best player to collect/invest in. With that being said, what is going on with all the HRs he is giving up? He has the pure stuff to dominate. Why is he such an average pitcher lately. Seems like he is going to his sweeper to much. Is it just not mixing pitches effectively? Would be nice to see him use his splitter more often and his sinker.
