    Well, that's all she wrote!
    OK, Until I find out for
    SURE. The Shohei is in fact the
    "PURPLE HOLO FOIL"
    Or
    Not?
    I can't finalize my analysis on this
    RIP!
    IF Shohei is the right
    Pull.
    Then, this RIP, to me is
    HISTORICAL!
    But, if it isn't the right Pull.
    Than, the RIP is as usual,
    a DUD!.
    But not totally!
    Those 2 Walgreens boxes were
    AMAZING!
    And if the Shohei is more common, than I would be correct on saying,
    " The Walgreens Boxes,
    Did Beat the Two
    BLASTERS!
    I gotta dig deeper into Comps to determine about
    Shohei.
    Until then...
    Thank you, All
    Really, thanks.

    It looks like all the Series 2 Ohtani Purple Holo Foils for sale on eBay are numbered to 250. Is your copy numbered on the back? The most recent one sold for about $20.

    Just wanted to mention it so you do not waste money having it graded. Still a nice pull.

  • So weird in 2025 they put cards that have damage on them into packs. You would think they would have at least a 99% success rate in printing these cards to be 9's or 10's.

    I guess I finally found what Shohei card I really have?

    It's a
    Rainbow Foilboard
    Non- Numbered like this one.
    :)

    On second thought, my card doesn't have that same texture like his does! Mine is more flat. Refractor-like.
    ???

    Maybe your local shop can be more definitive about the Ohtani card and help you out.
