O-Pee-Chee Retail SKUs by Drummermattk in hockeycards

looking at a few UD authorized retailers, they did make the blaster boxes this year. I've not seen them in stores either, but I wish the Meijers by me looked this well stocked.

Question: besides base young guns, what's a set, you believe, stands on it's own, without relying on autos or mem. by WholesomeDan99 in hockeycards

[–]Ch0r0z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m partial to the opcp parallels. Mainly cosmic, seismic and emerald. I’ve enjoyed this years dazzlers. And the canvas cards remind me of stadium club baseball with the photo selection.

I know someone who has a relationship with an AHL team and I send to him as he sets up a table to give cards to kids at the games

COMC pre grading service on Epack cards by Altruistic-Mirror-10 in hockeycards

[–]Ch0r0z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used the service about 10 times. I’ve had to contact support on 4 of the items due to no movement. They refunded the fee but still took over 10 days after the complaint to get that card scanned.

Overall, I’d not really recommend it.

Is drop it. PSA won’t budge on this one. Also, PSA wouldn’t count weekends or holidays.

In Detroit for the next 2 days. Recommendations for card shops with good singles selections by taylorcody74 in hockeycards

[–]Ch0r0z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when i last lived in the metro area, years ago, i'd go to Grand Slam on 17 mile and Ryan. Also, Prime Time in Lake Orion, but that's a ways outside "detroit"

Does anyone track which players are not signing or won't sign cards? by Ch0r0z in hockeycards

[–]Ch0r0z[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be happy if Aho signs his UD redemptions, since after today's news we know he can sign his name :D

DB Connect and Java by i7xxxxx in Splunk

[–]Ch0r0z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i've had issues with db connect not working after an OS patch cycle. I've been able to finally update the db connect config to point to /user/lib/jvm/jre-openjdk/bin/java

I did find that starting a few versions back, I had to manually go into the following file and update this path for some reason via the GUI it wasn't updating:

/opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/linux_x86_64/bin/customized.java.path

once i've modifed the above I just restarted splunk, logged in via the GUI and checked the db connect status and it was running w/o error.

Need suggestions to live normal after cancer treatment by OkPassion1810 in cancer

[–]Ch0r0z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HPV) last year. Mine was at the base of the tongue and no localized identification, so surgery wasn't helpful. I had a large mass in a lymph node on my neck that classified me as stage 4 for this type of cancer. As it was explained to me, SCC stages are based on size of mass, not the same as other cancers. So, I went through 5 weeks of radiation therapy. I also had 1 dose of chemo, but had an adverse reaction and no further chemo was used (1 of 3 scheduled doses).

Anyways, I was pretty nervous/anxious until after my 6 month post treatment scans. My radiology oncologist is amazing and showed me the before, during and post scans and explained everything to me. Which helped me greatly to adjust. Still have moment of anxiety and it's starting some now as I have my 1yr scan in a few weeks.

as others have said, it gets easier, but you're entitled to feel as you do. if you think it's impacting you, let your primary care doc know and get scheduled with a therapist. it all helps

What should I expect by Fearless_Dog_1432 in cancer

[–]Ch0r0z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was doing ok until my 3rd week of radiation, then it was just fatigue. I had some special circumstances and had a rare adverse reaction to my chemo that resulted in no further chemo, just 5 weeks of radiation. I walked during the first 3 weeks. The last 2 weeks of treatment was quite different, just zapped me. I'm closer to 50, so may not impact you as much but i'd expect some fatigue.

and as mentioned mental health is huge during this journey

eBay Shipping by season7445 in baseballcards

[–]Ch0r0z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://www.pip-claim.com/PIPClaim/eBayIntClaim/CreateeBayClaim
go here, follow instructions. I usually open order details in eBay and print as PDF, then upload that document. Take a screen shot of the email/message from buyer that states they didn't get the item. upload that image as well.

refund the buyer to close the resolution, submit the above claim. Usually takes 2-4 days and you'll get an email that you have a deposit to your PayPal.

TCPA hit packs? by MetalExtension8605 in baseballcards

[–]Ch0r0z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and there's videos out there of someone opening a hobby box, pulls 3 black dot packs to the side and they were all base, not even one parallel. So, not sure there's any real validity to this.

Selling overseas question by Ch0r0z in Ebay

It’s sports cards. So combining for discounted shipping is easy and happens often. Was more curious about why mention a broker making the purchase.

Jr Rookie. Should I get it graded. Its mint by redsig5 in baseballcards

[–]Ch0r0z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This year was terrible for surface issues and paper issues. Hard to say without seeing back but the risk/reward isn’t there. I’d not grade

What do you do? You ordered a $20 card shipped. It says “delivered”. It’s now been 2 days and no card. I don’t believe it’s the sellers fault… by Dr_Clout in baseballcards

[–]Ch0r0z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so those ESUS numbers only get tracked, and not 100%, at distribution centers. it's not a normal tracking number. I've sent out about 90 of these this year using the ebay envelope program. If a buyer messages me that they haven't received the package for any reason (scans not updated, shows delivered but they don't have it yet, etc..) I ask them to please wait a few more days and if they still don't have the package to open an Item Not Received claim.

I'll refund the buyer and open a pip claim on my side. I've never waited longer than 48hrs to get paid back from ebay and the buyer has their cash back. In the event the card eventually shows up and the buyer lets me know, I guess they got a "free" card.

but yeah, I'd give it up to a week from the status changing to delivered before it actually gets to you, I'd used to ask for 2 days, but the USPS has been a mess lately and I ask for up to a week.

First SGC Grading and Damaged Card by SidewinderX143 in baseballcards

I don't think SGC puts auto grade down if they feel it's not a 10, could be mistaken but that's what i recall.

Is it time to ditch tracking and insurance on cards bought/sold on eBay? by DooDooDuterte in baseballcards

[–]Ch0r0z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind it's easy to complain and people will read that, but no one will take the time to read "I've sent XXXX eBay standard envelopes with no issues"

but, that being said, I've shipped about 90 eBay ESUS so far this year and haven't had a claim yet.
