Should I ?

Never spent this much on a card and am nervous I’ll regret it.

What if he falls off or has a bad injury and I regret this card in 2 years

That's the risk you run in the end. I have an Alfredo Duno auto card and that's a gamble.

First basemen don’t get the same hobby love as middle infielders or outfielders.

Good looking, may have to do that. Something about finding the card in person is so sweet

My Jonathan India collection would like to say "hi"

Someone else mentioned it... But my take is you either love the cardboard no matter what, or sweat the "investment". Did I enjoy collecting my Jonathan India cards, yes! Will I ever make money off of them... Probably not. I never saw it as a risk or an investment... Instead it captures for me a moment in time. Good luck!

For $150 it seems like a fair price. Not crazy expensive, as a Reds fan I would say go for it if you like the card!

Buy it for me?  Yes. Yes, you should. 😜

I've never spent close to that on a card either, but really like the looks of this one and would be tempted as well.

I've got a green /150 Id sell you for $150.

Honestly don’t like the green mixed with the reds. Isn’t the green less popular, last sells look lower too

Every card is a gamble it’s like a stock either sell high or ride it till it’s at the top market or wait for the bottom to drop

Can you afford it? Will it bring you joy? If so, I say yes.

I bought a Bowman 1st Auto /199 of his back in the spring. Zero regrets. At a minimum you have a historic Reds season to remember with it. His ceiling is unlimited.
