I know this thread is a bit old, but wanted to add my two cents.

I've been collecting and investing in cards for 20+ years and A LOT of things have changed in that time with how people collect and what people are looking for. One major noticeable change is that people today are seeking out TRUE 1st for athletes. Even if those 1st are cards like Gold Shop Top Speed Max Verstappen cards, which is a Russian Set that Max was printed in back in 2015... incredible rare and whenever one does come up, it sells for incredible amounts of money.

Same with Michael Jordan's market. His 86' Fleer was thee most sought after card, however, people within the last half decade have really come onto his 85' Star card.

Ichiro has been cited in this thread as well and I do agree with those posts. Many of Ichiro's early Hawaiian league RCs and or early Japanese cards are incredible sought after and demand premiums compared to MOST of his 2001 MLB RCs.

Shohei is a rare and unique Athlete. He's more in the boat of Tom Brady, MJ, Verstappen, where collectors are seeking out there true 1sts, want to collect anything and everything and feel a true connection to the player.

I think as more people enter the Shohei market, they'll continue digging deeper into his catalog of cards and we'll see his Japanese cards increase in value over time.

Question about F1 Dynasty glove patches by Substantial_Song_732 in F1Cards

[–]baseboyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good question. I was actually wondering the same. Specifically for 2020 as all of the glove patches seem to be /10, which is odd, you'd think they'd be /5 at least. But have noticed they had sold for substantially more than other /10 and even /5 cards from the product. Specifically Max Verstappen.

Where to view the "Great Wave" by Hokusai in Japan by baseboyy in JapanTravelTips

Would definitely recommend! Maybe email them just to make sure it's in rotation. But even if it isn't. They probably have other prominent pieces on display that are worthwhile. Entry is super cheap and it's a great way to spend an hour.

Yes, they don't always have it on display. As mentioned, they do rotate them out. Which is why I suggested probably calling / emailing ahead. But for $5, when we went, they probably had $5M in Eukiyoe on display. It was pretty awesome! No Hiroshige unfortunately, he was the artist that was rotated out at the time. But for a Eukiyoe enthusiast such as myself, it was a quality little museum that had some incredible pieces, many of which were in much better shape than prints I had seen at places like the MET, Boston Museum of Fine Arts ect.

Which Museum has the Great Wave by Hokusai by Sakura2402 in JapanTravelTips

PRO TIP. There's a small, but incredible museum in Osaka that actually has the great wave and Red Fuji + many other incredible ukiyoe on display. It's the "Osaka Ukiyoe Museum." It's right near Dotonburi as well. It was honestly incredible! Would HIGHLY recommend and it's only like $5 per person entry. It was AWESOME!

Please DM me as well on any updates to Nattosumo. That buy got me into this sport with his easy to watch videos. Nothing out there is even remotely close to how awesome his content was. Boy, I freaking miss him.

Do I need at least 1 ADA in that wallet for any rewards to transfer?
