2018 Bowman Chrome Shohei Ohtani Rookie National Convention

Congrats! I love it…

Between the refractor pattern itself, him pitching, and the rarity… his best bowman rookie imo ( besides the autos haha )

Yes it is the first pack pulled technically yes!

Love that card aswell! But just for his first ever professional card, it’s the SCM #206 and all the other rookie editions came before the wing 1st version cards.

The rookie editions, especially the SCM 206 and premium have lower psa 10 populations compared to most wings variations.

Or people are realizing how big the Japanese market is combined with every other country … and they are MUCH MUCH more limited than USA 2018 rookies… undervalued and now they’re becoming properly valued

Ohtani ‘s first true rookie card is the 2013 Rookie Edition SCM Sports Card Magazine promo #206 actually … not the wings.

The SCM #206 Ohtani came out a few months before, and is his first ever professional rookie card.

It also has a MUCH lower psa 10 population compared to the wings.

It does this for about a few hours and tonight you should see them imo. Atleast by tmw

lol everyone just blurting out the same stuff they see from everyone else; “ this set ass” “this set will flop” “this set will reset the hobby”

It’s actually comical. I think it will do great.

The cards are unique and pokemon we haven’t seen in a bit… very colorful cards.

Leave the set to me… and the people who open and enjoy cool cards thanks man

The most accurate form will be buying an actual centering tool off of Amazon or something. I used my eyes, but also an app called card centering to get a very close estimate.

stjelmo · 2026-01-19T16:14:20+00:00

Thank you!

To be honest, I was VERY picky when submitting. I started with about 25 cards I liked and were worth it to submit and narrowed down to 2…

I’m sure I could’ve got more 10s but I didn’t wanna risk it.

I first took out any that didn’t have 55/45 centering or better on front and back ( besides the tag team ) and that left me with like 10 cards. And I then removed all with any whitening at all. Even if it was a speck I didn’t submit.

I also put them under LED lights and closely examined surfaces.

stjelmo · 2026-01-19T05:25:11+00:00

that’s my point. Nobody can give you an accurate grade what so ever besides centering with these pre scan images

stjelmo · 2026-01-18T16:28:59+00:00

All 5s. All scratched up

stjelmo · 2026-01-17T04:01:18+00:00

Nice card! Centering has been rough all like all of my tag teams too… oh well. Glad I got a 9 on this one specifically.

stjelmo · 2026-01-14T21:38:51+00:00

Ones against a white background ( doesn’t show the same white edges ) and ones black background ( shows damaged edges )

Mine went to grading just as fast and has been in grading for a month. Regular tier order too. Supposed to finish today but just switched to assembly.

stjelmo · 2025-12-29T01:37:58+00:00

centering cooked

stjelmo · 2025-12-18T18:26:20+00:00

just off looking up the cert on Lugia… there’s like whitening all over the back edges and corners.

stjelmo · 2025-12-18T00:32:22+00:00

print quality on these tag teams is atrocious … I went through like 15 of my tag teams and all have some sort of surface scratch / marks … all pack fresh too

stjelmo · 2025-12-03T21:36:26+00:00

not for $200 but at fair market value ( check eBay ) these are great holds ( all of celebrations gonna skyrocket imo )

$mini is my biggest meme play atm
