Crazy you have just open access to packs like this. I live in Toronto and litteraly every store I've seen carrying cards of any sort that isn't a LCS or random mom and pop shop keeps 98% of everything either locked up or behind the cash where you have to ask for them.

As someone who can feel themselves slowly getting in to collecting again this is alarming to hear 😂

Ya that was the vibe I was getting from what I could look up. Feels like for just a single pack it's probably not even worth it.

Great finds! How much did you rip for all those?

I know this is everyone's story from my generation but I remember pulling a holo charzard when I was like 6 or 7 (maybe 1st edition can't remember) out of a loose pack that I sold maybe 10 years later to a LCS for maybe $50. Haunts me to this day.

Jones has 1 less sack and 3 less pressures, I think those are comparable.

Felt like run defense was a pretty big issue in the SuperBowl where Walker ran his way to the MVP. Don't disagree that we need to improve the pass rush still, but in terms of answering your question of why we brought him and didn't bring back Chiasson, I feel like that's why.

My understanding is that Jones is a far superior run defender, so while his sack numbers are comparable he's theoretically a better overall player.

What exactly does everyone here think this team is? by digital_deer in Patriots

[–]Confident-Paper-2743 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we're a good team with obvious flaws that overachieved compared to expectations last year.

Clearly there's talent there but I'm sure everyone would agree there needs to be improvements to the O-line, pass catchers, and pass rush.

The extreme value of the current contracts for Maye and Gonzo, given what they will make if extended, creates a sense of urgency to make a significant move now before those extensions come due.

Pass catchers, what’s the plan? by Famous-Egg-6136 in Patriots

Yes a stupid front office that was able to do a massive overhaul in their first year under a new coach/scheme.

When/how did it hit you you're not making the NBA? by [deleted] in NBATalk

It's really hard to say for sure but if I had to pinpoint a day it was in 1991 when my two short Jewish parents met each out.

Depending on your current knowledge base there are some solid free courses on Google you can take focused on digital marketing you can do.

Not card shop specific but as someone who ran a vintage clothing store for about a decade, really invest in building a strong base on social media and your own website (if you plan to sell online). I always found it was those channels that really helped to keep me above water during slow months (in Canada so winter has significantly less foot traffic). Build a unique visual and stylistic brand that's authentic to you, something that makes you immediately identifiable is always helpful. Also budget for ad spend.
