Couldn't help myself and picked up a PSA 10 Sapphire for 1225. I figured someone would outbid me in the end...but no. Couldn't pass it up for under 1300.

This PSA 10 went for less money than recent BGS 9.5's.

3 weeks ago someone turned down a 2200 offer the PSA 10.

I am hoping this is the lowest it will be...but its definitely a risk on my part.

Nice grab. I've been toyin around with the idea of selling off some other players and picking up a 2017 sapphire, heritage action and/or heritage ROA.

The entry point on these cards is still a little high so I'm waiting for them to come down a bit in the offseason. Right now is a good time since people are bailing after the ALCS. The MVP announcement may end that

Yea. I had no intention of buying another sapphire (have 3 bgs 9.5's). But when I saw the PSA 10 at $1200 with 2 minutes left i figured i'd throw in a bid of $1225. Couldn't pass it up at that price. Who knows? Maybe he has another big year next year and wins B2B MVP's.

Striking out in 39% of your postseason at bats seems to be in elite territory

Imagine stuffing fish with weights to win tournaments, or concocting sign stealing to win a World Series!

With the Angels or Dodgers.

Come back home.

Trout, Kershaw, Betts don't get booed during slumps.

Not even old man Pujols got booed during his year long slumps.

Personally, I hope he signs with the SF Giants. That would be a great fit

Yep, Trout and Ohtani will have a 0% strikeout rate with the Angels. No at bats in postseason. Yippee.

Trout, Ohtani and Judge all watching the World Series.

Does strikeout rate really matter?

What do Trout and Ohtani have to do with Judge's complete collapse in the postseason?

That ball Realmuto hit immediately made me think of Judge. Just looked:

@MaxTGoodman
This go-ahead home run from J.T. Realmuto: 98.3 mph, 346 feet, 26 degrees launch angle

Aaron Judge’s fly out to almost the same spot in G2 of the ALCS: 106.3 mph, 345 feet, 28 degrees launch angle

I recently stumbled on/bought what will probably be the only Judge 1/1 in my PC. I hadn’t seen these VIP cards before but some of the other parallels are pretty sharp!

Most egregious part of that article is calling Nick Swisher a star
