There's a better Shohei Ohtani card out there that's somewhat reasonably priced. Go to the top of the list, 2013 BBM Shohei Ohtani 183 and it's parallels & promos. They're on the rise as we MLB fans figure out that they exist. A raw 183 base is around $200 and a PSA 10 is under $1,000 if you negotiate well or wait for a auction. The PSA pop counts are low, under 100 for the Base 183 and dramatically less, PSA 10 pop of 21 and under for the others. Not on your list but should be is the #2 Japanese card manufacturer, look at 2013 Calbee Shohei Ohtani S-61 a very low pop count. There's only one parallel for the S-61, the Gold Signature Facsimile with a PSA 10 pop of 4. Overall, Japan is less populated country and their print runs are far less than our sports card companies, especially in 2013.

Shohei cards went down and I don't understand. I guess the market leveling out some. I'm buying Ohtani all day!!
Keep your $500 cards. I'll pick up a Brandon Lowe Topps Chrome auto RC for $15. I mean he only hit 39 homers and was 88th percentile in barrel %.
He's also 27, can't field, and plays in a dead market. Very, very low opportunity for a return large enough to justify the quantity you'd buy.
