    By far, these are my favorite type of videos you put out. When you focus on a specific player, dive into their stats, and then strategize for the viewer the best cards to target and why. I assure you, as an avid collector this is exactly what’s lacking in the UA-cam world and I just pray the views reflect his and you keep them going. 🙏🏼

    I always wanted a bowman chrome ohtani auto from when 2018 bowman came out, but he was soooooooo expensive! Even more than he is right now. People were paying 5k+ for raw pack pulled base and I remember golds and oranges selling for 50 - 75K RAW!! After 2020 when he had his surgery...a majority of people were calling him a bust and his GEM bowman chrome pitching auto went below 1k for the first time ever....I debated about buying a couple, but was still unsure of how he would come back. They were talking about not letting him pitch anymore, and he wasn't a great hitter yet either...Well his 2021 year started so strong and his cards started flying! I bit the bullet and picked up a base gem chrome auto for 1700 and haven't looked back. I still kick myself I could have had 3 for the same price 3 months before, but at least I have one lol....Good video Scottie!

    Thanks for this video, was eager to see a new one from you on Ohtani. I was buying a little before this season and last year. I have 5 Heritage chrome /999. Just bought one the other day and it didn’t pass eBay inspection, go figure. Bought it the day of the game. Let the ohtani shenanigans begin. Anyways I like him still now and think in time they will mature. Bought several low end cards if his, the base heritage in a 9 and a 10. Love this pose, and I bought a archives PSA 10 for $95, received yesterday. I think I am going to rest the buying and go back to some other better buys as you mentioned and I was already thinking of this. I really like the heritage card of his especially the chrome and the refractor. Still room to grow IMO with these being that serial number is all the rage.

    I am usually a Topps only guy for modern cards, but I got so tired of all the Topps variations and confusion with Ohtani, so I just bought his Bowman Chrome Card #1 PSA 10 because:
    - it is card #1
    - there is no debate whether it is a true RC or not
    - he is batting
    - it is not photoshopped to look like he is in an Angel uniform

    Shohei is one of the few guys that I actually WANT to PC, but his cards are in the stratosphere. I also worry about a dip in his production. I only have a few of his cards, a few base Chrome rookies, but one of the coolest cards in my collection is a 2013 BBM rookie in an SGC 10. I have an Ichiro BBM rookie from 1993 on my watchlist but it's a bit pricey. I'm really loving this infusion of Japanese and Korean talent into MLB, makes it fun to watch the game with these different styles of play.

    Very timely video Scott, thanks for putting it out! This is a great example of why I get frustrated with ultra modern cards...way too many set issues and variations. I'm still a bit traditional about this, I only collect the first issue as a true rookie card. So since he has Topps and Chrome base cards, then I don't collect either Update cards because those are not true rookie cards. Just my rules to follow to make my life easier!

Would that change the value of his talent or his cards in my eyes? Nope. Because even if his next at bat were his last or his next pitch his last pitch, in my opinion he is the best baseball player and one of the best athletes that has ever lived.

I know of five people who bought Ohtanti rookie s that don’t even watch baseball, and don’t own any other cards except Ohtanti cards. My point is the global demand will drive up the prices even for the more common cards. He’s different than anyone one else in baseball. No other pitcher in mlb even bats anymore.

    The obvious he’s the only two way player. How babe Ruth is revered as the best there is no doubt if Ohtanti can continue this for a couple more years. It will be set in stone he’s the GOAT. He got me back into watching baseball again. The league needs him and they need him off the Angels. It’s mind boggling how many people still don’t know who he is in 2023. I’m sure the language barrier doesn’t help. Now your starting to see him on New Balance commercials etc. he will become more of a household name. I also said that in 21 when he was mvp and on the cover of those video games. But that apparently didn’t happen. Or was not as impactful as I thought. The international market is a huge factor as well. He could get hurt and be the next Bo Jackson. I personally look for cards of players who I believe in. I personally don’t pay attention to the hype

    Great video although his 2013 rookie cards are definitely not niche. Just not understood by American collectors so they ignore them instead of embracing them.

    Personally, the more I watch him the more I want a nice RC, however I am always concerned that he's one pitch away from an injury. Maybe if he opts for batting only down the road...

      That’s my favorite. Has such an awesome look to it. Action photo & close profile pic, P/DH label, nice refractor touch, plus the fact it’s a throwback design. I picked up an SGC 9.5 for like $57 a few weeks ago

    The team set has that "hitting" one that looks exactly like the base. I think that's going to be the chase card.

    Question on Japanese players... with a huge JP fan base across the pond, does that increase the value of Japanese players' cards in the US? But also I think Topps prints in Japan as well? - WW

    • @GeMintsports
      @GeMintsports Рік тому

      Topps started printing in Japan in 2021 so missed the Shohei and Roki rookies. Still some nice cards made by Topps in 2021. BBM makes Shohei’s 2013 rookie and Roki’s 2020 rookie.

    • @scottiebcards2354
      @scottiebcards2354  Рік тому +1

      The Update has historically gone for more which is why it was higher. I have recently felt strongly towards the series 2 only beacuse it was first and matches more images. There are people in the hobby on both sides of the aisle. My only wish is that Topps did not introduce two different cards. Thanks for watching!

    • @scottiebcards2354
      @scottiebcards2354  Рік тому +1

      The biggest reason I LIKE the Update chrome is that the base refractors are numbered /250. I think that is AWESOME. I also like that the Topps Chrome Update auto is the same image as the Topps Chrome Update base card. The issue is that it is a sticker.

      Weeks before the classic.
      I value your knowledge a lot so not sure if it’s one to hold long term or not now haha .
      I know the 1st true topps chrome rookie should be worth more however when you reference no parallels in update should be going after makes it a bit confusing.
      Just trying to pick your brain and hear your thoughts as the hobby’s also comes down to the general consensus of what is collectible.

    My opinion, buy his Japanese BBM rookie cards for long-term investing. Around a dozen total sets compared to nose bleed print runs. People will want what is most rare instead of trying to differentiate what may or may not be the good rookies between all of these sets here. Informative video though.
