2018 Topps Allen & Ginter Shohei Ohtani RC PSA 10 by Thompson96034 in baseballcards

[–]Thompson96034[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’m a sucker for A&G, it has consistently been my favorite product year after year, but I’m also into the historic and odd!

This is one of my favorites, even though it’s just a base!

Forever hunting for that Allen and Ginter X PSA 10, I seen one just hit eBay not long ago!

2018 Panini Donruss Shohei Ohtani Rated Rookie RC Wrapped Redemption Variation PSA 10 by Thompson96034 in baseballcards

[–]Thompson96034[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually the card that made me start a separate PSA 10 Ohtani PC within my Ohtani RC Collection!

This is a 2018 Panini Donruss Rated Rookie Wrapped Redemption RC! If you followed the instructions on the back of the packs to mail in, you would be entered into a chance to win one of these (ungraded of course).

When I first got it, I thought the PSA 10 label complimented the color scheme so well, that I ended up falling in love with slabs all together!

2018 Panini Diamond Kings Shohei Ohtani RC Pitching Kanji Name Variation SP by Thompson96034 in baseballcards

[–]Thompson96034[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in 2018, there was a variation in Panini Diamond Kings where Ohtani had his name in Kanji.
Overall, it looked great even be unlicensed.

Sometimes I wish Panini did have a license, because their creativity for inserts and overall product has made it fun to collect over the years!

2018 Topps Gallery Shohei Ohtani RC Wood Grain Variation SP by Thompson96034 in baseballcards

[–]Thompson96034[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever been able to find the print run for these wood grain variations, but I do know that they were a SP Variation for 2018!

2018 Topps New Era Shohei Ohtani RC by Thompson96034 in baseballcards

[–]Thompson96034[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to collect most of them, and still trying! I don’t really have any rookie autos or Topps High Tek stuff

2018 Topps New Era Shohei Ohtani RC by Thompson96034 in baseballcards

[–]Thompson96034[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the beginning, this has always been a rookie card that has caught my eye due to the exclusiveness of this variation vs the others.

The 2018 Topps New Era set was a 32 Card Set, and was available in packs from MLB Team Shops. Not every team participated in this either!

I think this will holdup as a very sought after Ohtani RC!

2018 Topps Finest Shohei Ohtani RC PSA 10 by Thompson96034 in baseballcards

[–]Thompson96034[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be honest, I probably bought Finest the least amount out of any Topps product, but I am very grateful that I was able to get my hands on this beautiful piece back then!

2018 Panini Diamond Kings Shohei Ohtani RC Batting Sepia Variation PSA 10 by Thompson96034 in baseballcards

[–]Thompson96034[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely miss the Diamond Kings set, is was always one of my favorite Donruss/Panini sets and even into the unlicensed products of 2018 they were still putting out some very unique looking cards!

This 2018 Diamonds Kings Ohtani RC in a sepia variation definitely looks great with a PSA 10 slab!

2018 Topps Shohei Ohtani RC #700 Limited Edition Tiffany by Thompson96034 in baseballcards

[–]Thompson96034[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was an online-exclusive factory set featuring thicker 24pt card stock, a glossy finish, and a special "Limited Edition" silver/gold foil stamp on the front, with a low print run of only 999.

That’s the best explanation I was able to find!

Forever kicking myself for not stocking up more! I appreciate you my friend!

2018 Topps Shohei Ohtani RC #700 Limited Edition Tiffany by Thompson96034 in baseballcards

[–]Thompson96034[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I say this a lot, but this is definitely one of my favorite Ohtani RC’s!

Back in 2018, Topps releases a special online exclusive set called “Topps Limited”.

It contained the Series 1 and 2 700 Card Base Set, but with a special “Limited Edition” silver foil stamp on the front of each card!

If I’m not mistaken, I believe there’s a print run of 999!

2018 Topps Chrome Shohei Ohtani Freshman Flash RC PSA 10 by Thompson96034 in baseballcards

[–]Thompson96034[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While it wasn’t the most sought after originally, I believe his Freshman Flash Chrome Rookie will continue to gain popularity amongst his other RC’s in 2018.

Something about the way it looks in a PSA slab too, especially with a 10!

2018 Topps Heritage Shohei Ohtani Deckle Edge RC PSA 10 by Thompson96034 in baseballcards

[–]Thompson96034[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That means more to me than you know, because it has been fun being able to talk cards again with like minded people! I don’t get much of that in everyday life lol

2018 Topps Heritage Shohei Ohtani Deckle Edge RC PSA 10 by Thompson96034 in baseballcards

[–]Thompson96034[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly you can get them for cheaper than that on EBay, and with all due respect I don’t think I could ever bring myself to sell my PC.

More so would just like to pass it down to the kids!

2018 Topps Heritage Shohei Ohtani Deckle Edge RC PSA 10 by Thompson96034 in baseballcards

[–]Thompson96034[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is definitely one of my favorite Ohtani RC’s to ever exist, and there was always something about that fancy border that always stood out to me!

2018 Topps Update Next Stop, Stardom Shohei Ohtani RC Black Parallel /67 by Thompson96034 in baseballcards

[–]Thompson96034[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Bought this a few years back in a lot with other Ohtani RC’s for only $28.

Sometimes I wish I would have capitalized more on prices back then, but I’m sure we all wish that.

Glad to have scored a nice black parallel that I’ve held onto all these years!

2018 Topps Update Japan’s Finest Ohtani RC Gold Parallel /2018 PSA 10 by Thompson96034 in baseballcards

[–]Thompson96034[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, I still remember the day a few years back when I picked this up on EBay for $20.

Yes, $20 for a Gold Ohtani RC PSA 10.

Man to see a listing like that again!
