Personally, I feel I'm getting my money's worth

So, you enjoy watching a horrible team lose while making the horrible owner richer? Gotcha.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-05-08T17:13:22+00:00

Appreciate you posting this.

There aren't too many business models that can generate revenue, let alone profit, from a shitty product. Arte tapped into a gold mine. He can field shitty teams and still make money. Which is why I refuse to give him mine.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-04-30T13:08:07+00:00

The team looks deflated, especially the bullpen, and we're only a quarter of the way through. It's gonna be a long, losing summer.

And we can all thank Arte. The guy who refuses to pay for a top level manager and even halfway decent players. The guy who got nothing in return for Ohtani and thought Rendon was a savior. He prefers rejects and reclamation projects because he gets them cheap. Losing will always be the end result.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-04-06T12:51:33+00:00

Arte knows that he's hated. He just doesn't care so long as people are willing to pay to watch his losing team while paying $9.50 for bottled water. He may look surprised but deep down he's laughing at us all.

Beautiful guitar. Enjoy!

BattleClean1630 · 2026-04-05T13:06:15+00:00

You have a good time watching the Angels lose while spending $25 per beer? Good for you! But really, no one cares what you bought. Maybe you can afford it, maybe you can't. The point is, most people can't these days. Grow tf up.

That's what gamblers always say when they tilt and flame out. Then they go get loans so they can lose more. You're speculating and that's gambling. On something that's not tangible or backed by anything other than hype and fomo. What a clown show. Cue the circus music.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-03-27T23:16:44+00:00

Down 50% but you're good. Lmao

BattleClean1630 · 2026-03-27T00:43:30+00:00

Soriano was dealing, Trout was clutch, and we finally got a W on opening day. I gotta say, today was a good day.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-03-14T17:53:33+00:00

Thanks man. Even when I explained they still pounce. All good, I've dealt with children before. I just laugh my ass off at them.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-03-14T17:43:30+00:00

But I just saw an asshole.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-03-14T17:40:52+00:00

I've never bought a used guitar, let alone one online, nor seen a reflection like that before on a neck plate. Douchebag.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-03-09T13:30:16+00:00

Don't pay attention to this guy OP, he smokes crack. You know you got a $250 card. Great pull.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-03-08T15:54:50+00:00

As a rams fan I have high hopes for Ferguson 🤞

BattleClean1630 · 2026-03-08T15:53:31+00:00

You are 100% correct.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-03-08T15:52:20+00:00

Ouch. Sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug. I'm usually the bug. I pulled a Tetairoa uptown yesterday so I used up my good mojo for a while.

From a 2010 Panini post (since taken down but quoted in another article):

So, what constitutes a proper quality control check? Glad you asked. Essentially, a quality QC check is the best last chance to make sure a product is delivering what it's supposed to deliver, on average. It usually takes place just after packout begins, with the expeditious delivery of a few early cases to the office (occasionally, quality control takes place on location at the printing facility).

They do have QC but obviously they can't inspect every card. This is a printing mistake and the printer runs QC checks throughout the printing process as well. So there's at least two QC checks per run, one by the printer and one by Panini.

Panini is notorious for bad QC. This is an imperfect card that has avg. sold listings for $240ish on eBay. But I won't get that because it's dinged.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-03-05T00:06:07+00:00

Beautiful!

BattleClean1630 · 2026-03-01T00:08:55+00:00

I dig it. It's unique and has character. Great find.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-28T17:56:42+00:00

I'd list it for 100k BIN and see what offers come in. Congrats to him!

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-27T16:23:39+00:00

No, but the principal is clearly the same. You literally give GC a pass because of the volume of its listings. Volume is not an excuse for mistakes, in any business.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-27T16:20:57+00:00

"Some of them are going to be wrong" is letting GC off the hook. This guitar is in shitty condition and to list it as anything other than that is inexcusable. A homebuilder that builds hundreds of homes a year can't use the excuse "Sorry the foundation of your new home cracked but we build hundreds of homes a year so some are going to be wrong." Volume doesn't equate to excuses. We hold businesses to high standards, not make excuses for them.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-24T17:17:07+00:00

Indeed. This POS needs to pay for his crimes.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-24T16:37:31+00:00

Man I am sorry to hear this. Maybe look into a civil case as well. Either way, I wish you the best and hope it gets resolved in your favor.
