When collecting you can never go wrong with personal preference. My preference is Juan Soto so I'd suggest getting 1 of each

The '6' actually looks really good except for the left edge that could rival a vintage O-Pee-Chee cut.

And you gotta add the +\- as well

Cool stuff keep going !

No....close. I would have assumed...but it's slightly different.

Trying this hosted on imgur, hopefully it works and isn't stupid-sized.

Sharing my modest Juan Soto RC collection so far, everything was pack-pulled by me. The insert auto was from a 2018 Update pack in Philmington's RC Explosion Box v15 two months ago and the SP from a hanger box back then.

Those are real nice, love the collection so far! Maybe a rainbow or gold US300 in your future

The odds have zero effect on you apparently. Amazing

boooooooo!

Why did the 6 get a 6?

And what makes a 5 a 5?

towerymt · 05-22-2020, 01:19 AM

Picked up an un-ripped box topper rip card that will remain un-ripped.

Perfect timing for this thread.

With no season, I haven’t been having the fun I normally do w/ statistical analysis of players (or at least reading others). Well I am going back over some historic analysis to see things I hadn’t noticed.

This one popped: https://community.fangraphs.com/diff...eout-profiles/

It evaluates how strikeout / plate discipline effects ageing curves. What they find: high strikeout players age fastest (peaking at 21) and low strikeout players age slowest and have the most productive careers (peaking at 26)

Very intriguing for a couple reasons:
— first it helps explain the accelerating ageing curves of contemporary players (when matched with some other analysis on increasing capability / rapid adoption of pitchers successfully using periphery pitches)
— it provides some hope Soto is on the good side of the curve, and be a real generational talent (and a bit scary for Acuna, actually)

Fantastic Juan Soto mailday from a great member on here! Gave up my Red Refractor to his amazing collection, but very happy with the returns on my end, including these 2 Soto's.

Rabs · 05-23-2020, 12:27 PM

Oh man I would miss that Red too much.

For sure, but it went to a guy working on a rainbow so it will look much better in his collection. That’s primarily the only reason I let it go.
