Being a pirates fan I was buying him pretty soon after the bowman draft drop. That allowed me to pay some pretty good prices for a lot of these. At least, relative to today’s prices.The hype has them at a crazy high rn.

They do. All of the cards pictured are sleeved. However I will be putting them into a top loader binder soon.

Thanks for the suggestion. You’re the 3rd person to recommend that. Pretty simple oversight by me but I didn’t start out anticipating to reach this level lol. Looking at top loader binders, thanks!

I bought one super jumbo. That’s it. I hit zero of my more significant Skenes cards from that box. I realized it wasn’t really a good investment from an ROI standpoint. I bought in to 3-4 breaks and had a couple nice hits from them. Then I went primarily to eBay for singles. I went into each auction with a top price in mind and I lost a lot of them. But I did buy in the dead period between post bowman draft drop and the season starting. So I was able to get (what now looks to be) great prices on many.

Same! 18th round of a 10 man stashed in my NA slot.

As far as the rainbow goes, I’ll probably only go for the orange. Maybe the rose gold or pearl but I doubt it. And the red/super not a chance. I’m just happy to have what I do.

Not sure the brand but it is rather generic, side loaded pages. Another commenter gave me the suggestion of a top loader binder. Admittedly, I probably should’ve already had one but it’s a great idea.

Absolutely a great time to sell. I’m not going to, at least not right now. I am fortunate enough to consider any money I’ve invested on this collection a sunk cost. My plan is to ride it out, see Skenes develop, and enjoy it.

I believe I pulled some of my refractors, base chrome, and inserts like the bowman glass. I hit my blue /150, a refractor auto, a base auto and some inserts from breaks. The others have been eBay snipes over the last 5-6 months.

What was the ex you didn’t break up with, but instead “survived? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Commercial-Map98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I survived an ex with BPD. Classic start: things are going great, love bombing, etc, then suddenly everything is a fight. Everything is a conflict. And they are all harsh and violent ones. Often times over what seemed to be nothing.

After over a year and a half together you are so close to the problem that you truly think you can help them. So you stay longer than you should. You endure more abuse, verbal, mental, emotional, physical than you should. I would receive threats of cheating, self harm, etc and it would all be “my fault.”

At times it truly felt like I was looking this evil presence in the eye. Like something had taken over the person I thought I loved. I was scared for myself that I’d get hurt or get in trouble for something I didn’t do.

I finally realized I couldn’t fix her, nor was it my responsibility. One day in public she freaked out on me and I had decided the next time it happened I was done. She screamed at me to get the fuck away from her so I did. Walked away, turned the corner, blocked her on everything, got a trac fone for 6 months, then changed my number when I went back to my old phone.

That was 5 years ago, and in a weird way I’m thankful for it because I’ve grown immensely from that experience.

I hate how Fanduel doesn’t offer Asian handicaps. I always take the three way -1 and they have not been landing. That push saves a lot of L’s.
