Terrible advice if you haven't unloaded Soto to put towards vintage your a sheep.

Vintage is dead.

Guess its time to rotate some stock again.

I used Cooper as a somewhat extreme example of a player who had a very nice career. I still believe Soto is a HOF player but I am wary of all ultra modern long term pricing. No one knows, however, including myself.

Happens in every player thread. Trolls pounce when they see an opportunity.

True, but there has to be a reasonable reason we don’t see this thread with new posts of recent buys?

People aren't listing good Sotos.. why would they at the nadir of his prices...all I have seen is US300, HMT55s, Heritage, Bowman's Best, etc. Nothing exceptional.

I think I'm good with Soto.

I've thought about buying another Heritage Action Acuna card as prices have come
down. It's a great card. I thought at under $400 how much lower can it go.

Decent, not exceptional

I'd look at the Gold and the raw Best Gold. But no, nothing you listed is particularly noteworthy. Putting a black label US300 in this group insults a shrewd Soto collector's intelligence

tyrith · 06-21-2022, 12:48 PM

A Best Gold /50 auto is a pretty fricking big card. If you're saying it isn't, you're pretty much saying the only cards that matter are 2016 BCA parallels. And there were a red and an orange in the PWCC monthly premier that closed last week. Plus there's a TCU x-fractor auto in the current Goldin Elite.

SupermanBrandon · 06-21-2022, 12:50 PM

If you cant find cool/interesting/good/exceptional Soto cards...you aren't looking (at all) OR you're only looking for BCAs & RC Flagship Low #.

Some people like that stuff. Just like how some people like buying PSA-10s for a huge premium over raw that could be the same quality or better. The shrewds were potentially insulted by any sonic encased card.

What are the good Sotos that could be listed, but aren't?

Pinks and Rainbows were $1750 plus not to long ago and now under $800 and lower in the b/s/t. If one has faith, are these not steals?

Only if you don't have one.

No, because those are just base parallels. They are a dime a dozen. The only thing worth grabbing is something numbered or SPed in this market.

No because non-rare PSA 10s were always overpriced. Just about everything else of his is a steal
