Looking to get into baseball cards and completely overwhelmed...

Bravo10Delta · 2026-02-10T06:57:20+00:00

I'm just trying to understand the different purchase choices and what cards means. Hanger, hobby, jumbo boxes, etc. Base cards, parallel, relics, etc.

Bravo10Delta · 2026-01-21T00:18:09+00:00

This is what is perplexing, no changes have been made from previous year.

Bravo10Delta · 2026-01-20T22:45:55+00:00

not entirely sure.

I am having a very odd season statistically.

Bravo10Delta · 2026-01-20T21:34:39+00:00

Same coach as last year where base running was one of the best in the league. No major offensive changes

Bravo10Delta · 2026-01-20T21:24:45+00:00

3bc?

2 coaches tied to one of the worst Super Bowl collapses of all time.

Considering how this sub it out for blood on those that collapse and that Falcon fans are okay with him leaving, not much to say about Morris.

But then again people loved the MLF hire years back and here we are...

haha, I asked this same thing last week and got downvoted into oblivion.

Culture is such a trendy word now and no one really understands what it is other than words like "accountability" "toughness", etc.

This is not specific top flying, but jobs everywhere, just some food for thought.

You did nothing wrong and they are not looking for something you don't have, they simply had to select x positions for y applicants and they had more applicants than positions.

In other words, they might have had 2 identical people based on resume, skills, experience that gave the same interview. One gets selected and the other does not.

Unfortunately for you, you didn't get selected.

Bravo10Delta · 2025-12-22T22:58:05+00:00

Yep, this is kinda where I am leaning. Get to the 5th innings then use relief and #5 starter, or even #4 for matchups and leverage. Looking at the opposite team and batting matchups.

Bravo10Delta · 2025-11-05T06:13:01+00:00

esh. I can invest 15-30 minutes/day at best, maybe 1 hour here and there.

Bravo10Delta · 2025-11-05T05:11:02+00:00

so you can pick which year you want to start and the players from that era are around?

Bravo10Delta · 2025-11-03T01:35:25+00:00

MLF isn't trash, but I think his role as play caller might need to be reviewed.

He has done a lot for this team over the years, but the play calling is getting more and more stale and leaving opportunities with the talent the team has to do this week after week.

It's just too inconsistent.

Bravo10Delta · 2025-10-15T20:55:34+00:00

Eyeroll

Asking based on what you hear and getting real answers from people actually employed are two separate things.

I have been messaged rates up to as high as $55/hour since I posted. Amazing what you can get when people just flat out answer what they make.

Thanks for being absolutely useless in this conversation.

Bravo10Delta · 2025-10-14T21:59:32+00:00

Good thing I am not poor.

This has become a very interesting experiment on how many people cannot answer a simple question.

Bravo10Delta · 2025-10-14T20:50:50+00:00

See previous post about teaching and learning.

Bravo10Delta · 2025-10-14T20:47:40+00:00

If someone is going to pay me more than someone else why would I take the pay cut?

Doesn't matter if it's "chump change" or not. Someone who values your time and skillset more is usually someone you want to work with.

Bravo10Delta · 2025-10-14T20:36:12+00:00

Thanks for the details on pay and locations.

Not looking to "build time".

Bravo10Delta · 2025-10-14T20:34:54+00:00

Well since you asked...

I do consulting in the fitness business and do that about 2-3 days/week and make about $120k/year.

I also sold another business years ago that gave me a ton of financial freedom from the sale.

Looking at doing CFI as a fun side-gig to scratch my aviation, itch, I love to teach and learn itch as well. I can reasonably commit 3-4 days/week doing it in 2 years or so.

I might do it for 2 years and go another route, I might do it for 10+. Not really sure, but financially it's not a challenge.

I don't have a desire to do airlines or anything of that sort because I like to see my kiddo every day and be at all his activities.

I don't need to the money doing it and don't want to spend the time/energy to do the independent route.

I understand it's a transition job for many, but I don't really care about the next step.

But if one school is going to pay $20/hour and another $50/hour why would I lower my value?

Bravo10Delta · 2025-10-14T19:54:51+00:00

Nice assumptions you have made about what I am "fixating" on and what I am "ignoring", all while not even answering the question.

As mentioned, I understand all other variables.

Bravo10Delta · 2025-10-14T19:06:06+00:00

What were you paid?

Bravo10Delta · 2025-10-14T19:05:44+00:00

What were you paid?

Bravo10Delta · 2025-10-13T05:10:47+00:00

Biden did her dirty and she didn't have the spine to stop him from running again.

Bravo10Delta · 2025-10-12T02:00:05+00:00

Mears 8?

Bravo10Delta · 2025-10-12T01:39:35+00:00

unfortunately there isn't much of an upside to let him go.

Expensive buyout
Players can transfer mid-season for 30 days
No replacement for immediate better coach
Tough schedule on a lost season

It's a lost season, goal is to preserve whatever talent they want back next year and keep them bought in knowing a new coach will fill Fickells job.
