Geoff, don't buy Ohtani. He's way too good. If I were you, I would buy more Desmond Ridder and Lonzo Ball cards instead.

[@user-oo2dh8wd3x]

Lol😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@JayAintFake]

He really did waste thousands upon thousands and thousands of dollars on Desmond ridder and Lonzo Ball Lol

[@miguelavila8961]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@feartheyu]

I would love to see CardHQ inside Truist Park!

[@Caligrown92511]

Now is most definitely the time to “bet” on Ohtani 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jordanhudson5075]

Doug seems like a kool dude

[@RandomEsports1]

He does 🎉🎉🎉

[@abrunet90]

Unless there is access to the stadium cards shop on days, there are no games, I don't see how profitable that shop would be if it is only open 81 times in a year.

[@bobbybullet32]

Can y’all do a show on Topps Now cards. How valuable are the Topps now and will they be a huge hit later.

[@johnmccarthy9165]

Buying his 2013 Japanese Rookie cards. Particularity the BBM 183 series and Calbee S-61s...

[@SumoMenkoMan]

2013 BBM all the way!

[@user-yu3gm6pk9k]

Buy his wife’s basketball card🤗

[@simon466cards]

I want a whole episode with T-Pott doing the accent

[@kyleb350]

As a Brewer fan, I'm following the hype with Jackson Chourio (first to have a contract before starting).

[@mightytor215]

There has been a card shop in the Phillies stadium. I forget the name.

[@RawCardTom]

This was a solid show, great content. A potential show topic in the future for your consideration….are upstart card companies a thing of the past or are there any new players, will there ever be a “fanatics cards”

[@fated316]

Ohtani is cleared. No surprise. The goat never cared about making quick money. He came here for no money to play baseball.

[@KChiefs12]

I’d buy Bobby Witt Jr cards because he is going to explode this season.

[@drwily8285]

The only reason I clicked on this video was because you upper-cased the most charged word in the title.

[@RandomEsports1]

Lol

[@TrongNguyen-dc8kq]

T max you right on about Ohtani, he so class ❤ he unique individual

[@andrewreid895]

Why do people say this when they don’t even know the person? Let’s not forget the worlds best golfer for over 10 years was able to keep something like 20 girlfriends hidden from everyone. And this is just one example

[@mlb1818]

Geoff, you guys need to find a small investor if needed but if not, open a shop in a stadium as well asap! You guys would be a Grand Slam!!!

[@martyr4806]

CGC is the leader in Magazine and Comic grading. By adding JSA, they can now authenticate signed magazines/comics, which is big for the hobby.

[@Eaglesfan220]

Been following this case close. IMO NO but go for it.

[@tubenachos]

Yes buy now.

[@mclanetime7269]

Always entertaining! I personally would buy Ohtani cards right now, especially low numbered or rare cards! Even with gambling accusations present and a considerable doubt in his cards values its a good move in my eyes! Take all that aside…. He is still a great player just like Rose, he is still preforming elite stats and is constantly on top as far as numbers! Innocent until guilty, even though thats Just a mix of words honestly! We shall see how this plays out! I personally will continue to buy/ collect Ohtani! Generational Talent!!! Thanks

[@dwiii1635]

I only really see 5 maybe 6 different players from baseball sell at high value compared to double or more in football and basketball.

[@garretthoefer3989]

I have a content idea, how do I contact you ?

[@user-oo2dh8wd3x]

The play is too follow the comic book in house signings. They create the collectible. CGC will invite a sport player to a in house signing, like shoehi, customers can send in his cards to be signed,which is witnessed signaturel so any card is automatically authentic, graded slabbed , imagine sending in a base ohtani and getting back a graded signed authenticated card😊

[@polishchachafishing]

Yes

[@JulianLopez2591]

Whole industry has become a gambling pit. Pretty sad “new/young” collectors are just being groomed to become gambling addicts. Fanatics and all the online gambling companies know this.

[@Philmington]

Dealers don't/won't have a lot of Dynasty RPAs available for sale ;)

[@skitscotts]

Welcome back it’s Geoff gamble gamble, come gamble on Ohtani I got 100s of em

[@will-grier-invesrtor]

Let me sell Ohtani some Will Grier! But seriously folks, the man wasn't raised in America, he probably wouldn't just accuse someone of stealing from him just to create a diversion.

[@danielginsburg9558]

I like the buying of non-sports idea but not the buying of baseball RPAs. I remember a few years ago, during the great card explosion, basketball collectors were buying red prizm Soto cards, then wondering why they weren't going up in value. The buying of Marvel idea should win an award!

[@justingutube]

what is the best app for cards?

[@ryanbauer8317]

that was great... "I will take that dynasty away from you!"

[@stevem9203]

So shohei had an interpreter who wired $500k 8-9 times over a period of many months and Shohei had no clue. He just never checks his bank account. Some people are just so willingly stupid that they will believe anything the media or a PR firm or law firm tell them. Also if it was really stolen why was the first story that he knew and was covering for a friends debts. Ever heard of someone with a 3/4 billion contract risking it to cover for someone who makes a few hundred thousand who was stealing from them the whole time? Why would that be the first story if it was a lie? 😂

[@cardboardcheddah3715]

You honestly can’t fathom that kinda money. I don’t think he checks his bank account like you or I would do,imo.

[@ChristopherSmithNYC]

Do it! Mine are listed on ebay right now! Cheap!

[@EvanA1978]

At least he's finally calling it 'gambling' instead of 'investing'

[@GymAndSun]

Investing is fitting. It is just as risky as stocks or oil, and everyone calls those investing.

[@duckangelfan]

If you believe that you're lost in the sauce brother@@GymAndSun

[@HoopsHooper]

Id go with Ichiro hes making it to the HOF soon

[@ek6007]

T-Pot's theory around baseball RPAs is interesting but don't think it ultimately holds. RPAs are a more recent trend and first Bowman cards for baseball just have a more established history in the hobby. Thinking that collectors from other sports will fill the RPA gap in baseball is good rational thinking but people often behave irrationally.

[@jokerbookshop]

I might roll the dice on Ohtani. 🎲 🎲

[@Slow_Burn_Cards]

Wait, this is all over a 6% drop based upon pricing that in itself is completely subjective?

[@johnshoemaker234]

What's the best Low End Rookie Cards of Ohtanis to hold Long Term?

[@Jbull87]

Wouldn’t CGC buying JSA mean they can enhance their eBay authentication. Cards over a certain dollar amount get sent to CGC anyway for authentication this could also mean that they can authenticate autos for eBay purchases as well. Could be huge not just for CGC brand but also for eBay authentication

[@hawaiiactionfigureguy4847]

CGC doesn't get sports card love because they're constantly getting buried by influencers and The Hobby listens.

[@garygordon3075]

They are burying themselves actually with the comic book issues and the way they are resolving it

[@hawaiiactionfigureguy4847]

@@garygordon3075 well I guess CGC should off themselves and gtfo the hobby. That's what they get for wasting good hobby space.

[@scotthoverman]

The video title just writes itself, honestly. 😬

[@screwydrewy7027]

He did it no way you wire 4.5 million without knowing it but he won’t get in trouble because he’s baseball proncess

[@Himothy-eo4uv]

he's just mad that he lost that trade for the ridder

[@chillxxx241]

In 2016 there was an article that explained that Ohtani lived off a $1,000 allowance from his mother. It worked for him in Japan and he continued it in the US even after he was a multi-millionaire. I believe his mom also continued working everyday as normal for a while.

[@dwiii1635]

Now he's like, "Woooo baby, here's another million, throw it on the Bears!"

[@challenger516]

If that's the case, his mom didn't notice 4.5 millions were missing? GTFO, dude is 30 years old., stop acting like he's a kid LOL

[@christophertuck4281]

I watch the channel because I hate it but it is so right!!!

[@PickSixCards]

What’s up

[@miifed]

Bro looks like a comic villian in this thumbnail.

[@maximo6037]

Pete Rose will soon be a 5 times better investment

[@stevepotts5931]

Sounds like someone has a lot of money invested in Ohtani. You can’t say for certain at this point it’s a witch hunt.

[@ItzSammydp7209]

Pete rose ohtani 1/1 auto card ??

[@moaf2padventures757]

congrats on being like the 20th content creator to galaxy brain this title for a video/article/podcast.

[@cditsious]

See you in Chantilly....what days?

[@NevaehsThriftyNiftyTreasures]

What is your honest opinion of ISA grading?

[@GeorgeRuth7]

The dodgers have a talent for signing players with problems

[@darex0827]

Gambling is what got Ohtani into his current mess. Just saying... lol

[@shomkittling5376]

Shohei is innocent

[@timmccray7507]

Doug I hate baseball. UK will never lose , buy Marvel because it went up 2 percent after dropping 80 percent.

[@jimc.goodfellas226]

NO

[@Doors067]

Tacky.

[@sofritotv6549]

I don’t understand you guys. Psa and sgc?! Since wen. It’s psa beckett. PERIOD.

[@davidportnoy3237]

Geoff is nothing but a scam artist. If you can't see it, then you should evaluate yourself.

[@Himothy-eo4uv]

he baits people into buying products

[@kgsportscards]

Sell me your low numbered Ohtani non auto's!

[@icydaze]

They will ban him for life.

[@BigFungus19]

Lol

[@plb3733]

Ugh

[@themaoriwolverine]

Gambling is ruining sports should be banned

[@nylontusk1289]

What? Gambling is what made sports. Sports would be nothing without gambling. Without gambling Patrick mahomes would be making maybe 5 million a year and more than half of the fanbase 32 and older would be completely wiped out. Believe me, sports would be much better and pure, I agree with you 100% there but if we're speaking facts and reality then banning gambling would kill off a humongous portion of the people that make sports what it is today.

[@nylontusk1289]

And it would just devolve back into the dark ages of black market gambling where bookies hire their goons to break some poor kids dads legs with a baseball bat. Have you ever gotten dropped off by the bus after school and have some strange man waiting in your driveway asking where your dad is? I have and it's not cool in any way. Legalizing gambling is necessary.

[@iNeverHadMercy]

“GAMBLE on Ohtani?” Every person watching this and has spent “money” on a Trading Card (whether it was $0.10 or $1,000,000) takes a “gamble” 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 in our hobby 💸👀

[@dwiii1635]

Wow, that's fuckin' deep. Never thought of that before.

[@liverust5]

OK scrub

[@CollinChrisman]

Teapot saying there is nothing to be concerned about when his interpreter gambled 10x his annual salary and Ohtani had no clue 😑 And JSA is a major player in autograph authentication. Acting like they don’t exist or only issue COA’s is a wrong take. The only difference between JSA and PSA is the plastic slab.

[@coreymerriman8051]

As T-Pott said, this should not be a guilty until proven innocent situation. What if Ohtani did absolutely nothing wrong? In that case I'm ashamed that our country vilified this man this way, a stranger in a strange land, who doesn't speak our language, and is here to provide us entertainment. To be taken advantage of by the one man in this country that he trusted most makes me feel terrible for Ohtani. I hope he comes through this ok.

[@monaco497]

It’s not like he’s providing us entertainment for free. I think he can afford a little scrutiny.

[@JaneDoey]

This guy is joking right?

[@rhysorourke6164]

Wacky. Massive consequences are possible and prices have barely changed. Buying? That is horrific advice. Especially given that Ohtani is NOT a young athlete anymore. All time great? He has had 3 great years and is turning 30. He cannot pitch or play the field due to a second major surgery. Sweep under the rug? The feds are investigating. MLB cannot "sweep" a federal investigation.... Oof. Crazy take considering the dip so far is only a couple of points lower than other stars.

[@DannyL87]

Hahahahah this guy 100% threw a game lol

[@DRFOSTER82]

First

[@zachc3246]

Shohei cards could dip down below 40%. Terrible time to buy. He could do time about lieing and for doing a crime in CA and if not get a hefty fine and maybe even suspended for MLB for a year.

[@DannyL87]

Absolutely not hes 100% done. Guy basically threw a game if ur buying his cards ur high

[@gametimegallery7661]

Ohtani won’t have longevity in the game. A couple of good years and that’ll be it. He’ll be another Mark Fydrich.

[@johnwaynecollection]

Baseball figures out how to destroy its own, biggest stars, one way or another. That’s my biggest gripe with baseball. They need to focus on innovating the game and not letting the media run wild with the most random stories about every single persons character. Baseball was my number one sport growing up. I stopped watching once they said Barry Bonds wasn’t allowed in the Hall of Fame. Almost all of their top stars are just assassinated by random scandals of personal opinion. I would get that garbage out of the game if I was the commissioner of a sport . Just like the NBA protects its refs….. I would protect my players against gross media who ask non-baseball personal questions. Get off my lawn. Let the court of life take care of illegal actions. Other than that. Focus on the thing we all came to see. Pretending like all of your stars must be perfect angels is just Ludacris. Dana White is by far the best commissioner of all of sports. Standing back with white gloves like Bob Iger while the media plucks out your star players one by one is just a bad business model IMO.

[@JaneDoey]

Seriously?

[@Comicbookyoutubersrock]

Oh damn, that attempt at Alfred's phrase was beyond horrible! haha
