Trade Post From All Cardinals All The Time
Has the Ohtani hype slowed down now that he’s been on the DL? You
heard about that right? Ohtani suffered a UCL sprain in his pitching elbow at
the start of June. Potentially he could still hit, so Scioscia considered still using him in the DH spot. Well, he's back now, and his hitting is right where he left off; however, he might not pitch again this year.
Still, most folks are hanging onto their
Ohtani cards, maybe thinking they have a goldmine, hoping Ohtani fully comes back and
still has massive success and his cards skyrocket like Trout’s rookie card.
Not
Ray though. He offered his Ohtani up because Ohtani doesn’t play for the Cardinals;
therefore, Ohtani doesn’t fit his collection. Simple.
My reason for desiring the card is equally as simple: Ohtani
is an Angel, and I’m an Angels team collector. Value doesn’t matter in this case, actually
it counts against me, making it harder to complete team sets that have an Ohtani (or Trout) in them. And there’s another
reason: I’ve been striking out big-time on pulling any Ohtani cards, and the
gross lack of product in my area makes it even tougher. So, fortunately, when
Ray put his card up for dibs, I was able to be the first to respond.
Not a fancy chrome refractor, or purple parallel
or anything like that, but still a sweet Ohtani that I didn’t have, and
truthfully, didn’t think I’d ever have. So thanks for offering it up Ray. Very
much appreciated.
Glad it went to an Angels fan.
