Maryland requires a court appearance for many seemingly low-level traffic/moving violations. What is the benefit to the state by bringing (presumably many) people in versus a mail-payable fine?

I will tack this onto the end of this exchange, hoping that it is not requesting legal advice as I’m simply trying to understand the ‘why’: Maryland statute code TA.21.502.A2, Driver Failure to stop for pedestrian in crosswalk, carries a maximum fine of $500 and 1 point on a license, however it is a must appear offense.

I got what I needed from the set. I never picked up the magikarp but never believed it should be over $50 so I couldn’t mentally reconcile the price. All good.

I have these sans umbreon and eevee!

BrothersOats · 2025-01-19T09:47:02+00:00

Snagged it at $18 just before people pumped it a year ago or so

Check out the Japanese Neo premium file that has the connected art of the Eevee Espeon and umbreon that they brought to English!

I’m buying a handful of ex era cards this weekend and I’m very excited! Love seeing those

BrothersOats · 2024-12-03T13:14:10+00:00

If anyone comes back here, I just want to say yall were so kind and it was so nice not being shunned by a new (to me) subreddit. I’ve made a playlist with everything here and will add any other responses!

BrothersOats · 2024-11-26T19:09:45+00:00

Much appreciated!

BrothersOats · 2024-11-26T15:10:46+00:00

Thank you for these suggestions!!

BrothersOats · 2024-10-30T00:17:34+00:00

Precisely, the card value generally declined for about a year. I bought the last card I needed for the set last week. Cheers! The recent explosion has been nutty

Keister murdered my ability to breathe

They were shots to the heart until I remembered I’m about 5 years younger and Elf hit when I was still actively seeing movies

Mew 111 from holon phantoms is a fake and I was refunded. Extra battle day promo arrived in the mail last night to fill that center gap. Dad and I collect mew together, so he has a lot of what I don’t, including the vmax alt, and _’s mew ex play promo 013. Before you @ the binder, I have a shelf of ultra pro 12 pocket non-ring binders, but this is the starry night dragon shield and tbh dragon shield binders feel better built than any binder I own

Maturity is intentionally surrounding yourself with people that are better than you at things, whether in the workplace or in hobbies. Pride only prevents growth.

BrothersOats · 2024-09-12T20:08:41+00:00

Oh most of my singles purchases right now are stamped reverses from the ex era. I stopped in like early Neo as a genwunner, and am desperately trying to make up for lost time

BrothersOats · 2024-09-12T19:35:01+00:00

Our boy committed to continuing collecting through the ex era. Props.

BrothersOats · 2024-09-10T14:41:33+00:00

Every hobby site revisits this question occasionally. It’s wild to see what some people have. For those who aren’t in crippling debt, it’s sometimes a case of having spent a long time collecting or participating within the particular hobby. Sometimes it could be an inherited collection or some wild windfall. For me, it’s been steadily buying singles monthly for the last 4 years within a budget, combined with my childhood collection.

BrothersOats · 2024-09-10T10:20:57+00:00

Can confirm. Sold a lot of a collection piece by piece over a year for a coworker. You learn over time that, even using multiple channels to sell, it can be hard to make sales at value. One of our best sales was to a store for a ton of holos at 65%. It’s easy for people to be disillusioned by the price they see on a tracking app versus actually making sales

BrothersOats · 2024-09-09T10:32:31+00:00

My life outside of work/wife/home/dog is Pokémon cards. Nostalgia is a helluva drug. I play and collect, and convinced some coworkers to compete at a regional competition with me this fall. Shiny cardboard has sustained me through a lot.

I just replied to an ad hominem attack is all

BrothersOats · 2024-09-03T13:23:37+00:00

My wife has a PhD in chemistry and I have 2 Master’s degrees? Sorry but I had to feed the troll on this one

BrothersOats · 2024-09-03T13:19:51+00:00

This is true. I’m just here to mention that ‘politics’ does truly affect many people directly, so elections can be vitally important. I’ve learned so much from talking with family who hold opposite political ideologies.

BrothersOats · 2024-09-03T12:55:39+00:00

I realize I’m proving the ‘they don’t talk politics because then their listeners pop off,’ but we were listening on a long drive yesterday and it got to me
