Kickball "soccer baseball". When I would play I did switch the rules and told everyone to play just from home to second base. And you score a point every time you cross home. So if you kicked it far and you could make it from home to second back to second back to home it would be 2 runs scored. Or if you ran to second you stay till the next person up. It made it a lot more fun.
Ohtani cards as a whole were relatively cheap after his injury plagued 2019,2020 seasons. A few people I know did very well scooping up different serial’d refractors. Very rare opportunity. Unfortunately sports cards are massively overproduced. We’re in a modern junk wax bubble (which got huge during Covid when everyone was on lockdown) even retail products are grossly overpriced. The value of many graded cards have also declined due to high population reports from PSA. My best advice would be to actually collect vintage cards that have been slabbed by PSA or BGS. Guys like Jordan & Gretzky appreciate in value over time.
