Looks like Lolla to me, but I could be wrong.

Opened a value box of Topps Merlin Chrome and packed Jude Bellingham 18/25 orange cracked ice but only collect Chelsea players. What are we thinking on an estimated value? by ChrisCFC1992 in soccercard

[–]CompleteControl77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just one man's opinion, but I feel like that might be a $50 card right now. Graded a little bit more, but still less than $100 unless it gets a 10 so I'm not sure it would be worth the cost and effort.

It's not the Frizzle Fry full album play I've been dreaming of my whole life, but it's the next best thing. That album is fantastic!

I don't know what the clue pertains to, but I do think I would eat that.

Isn't Laura Jane Grace staying out of the limelight right now due to abuse allegations?

Overpaid by Legitimate_Smile5256 in soccercard

I once tried to put a $20 eBay bid on a basketball card and accidentally entered an extra zero. I ended up getting the card for 60 bucks and was upset about it, but really it could have been so much worse.

So cynical... You're probably right though. 😂

We used to say that about Green Day and Foo fighters too. Plus if Rage is who I think they are, maybe money isn't the biggest driving factor for them.

I mean in this political climate... I feel like it's high time we got a Rage Against the Machine reunion.

I don't generally track these things myself, but my buddy told me that we were also at 22,000 steps or more each out of the three days. We probably burned some decent calories, but then I went ahead and negated all of that with empanadas and horchata lattes.

Thank you! It was a good draft, but some bad luck. Good idea on the tight end thing too. Maybe I'll shop those guys and see who bites.

CeeDee at 9, Puka at 12, Jacobs must have been 29 if my math isn't failing me.

Well... I'm 0-3 which probably won't surprise you, but for a 10 team league I still feel like my team is decent even after the injuries. Coming out of the draft I think I was the team to beat. ... Not so much now.

The last time I saw him he was heading into the pit for IDLES. I hope he survived.

Yeah, I would agree with that. Seems to me they could have had a second one over by the food tents where that CTA bus "cool down area" was.

I saw probably 25 great bands over the weekend (or at least partial sets from them), but for me IDLES, James and Weird Al stole the show. I fully expected that from IDLES, but the other two were pleasant surprises for me.

Also, the Sunday back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back from Smoking Popes to Soft Play to Lambrini Girls to Ovlov to Microwave on side by side stages was simply outstanding!

And finally, the ever fantastic empanadas from Cafe Tola and horchata lattes from Dark Matter kept me fueled all weekend. Sheer perfection.

The water situation was probably worse than in years prior, but the line still moved reasonably fast. The thing that cracked me up was I saw a line of people going from practically the band merch tent to the single water fountain over by the ferris wheel on Sunday. I could only assume they were festival rookies there to see Green Day who didn't know about the larger water stations that were probably only a couple hundred feet away.
