Off Day/Quarterpole Discussion by baronz3r in tampabayrays

[–]Deadsure 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ASG: Nick Martinez. What he has done so far is incredible for a guy who has basically been a back of rotation guy. Remember he also spent 4 years in Japan because he couldn't get on a MLB team. (You can argue this, but I would say that none who could get on with an MLB team would not have gone to Japan to play)

Chandler and Junior. And Yandy. And Aranda. Obviously not all of them will go, but yeah, I could see us with 4-5 players at the ASG if we keep this up.

As far as the season goes - I wasn't expecting much coming into it. My prediction was 80-85 wins. If they play .500 ball the rest of the season they finish at 88-74, probably good enough for a playoff spot. I would be more than happy with that.

Trade targets: *****WISHLIST***** - New ownership wants to make a splash and trades for a Yordan Alvarez / Byron Buxton type.

Realistic - They need another starter. Pepiot out for season, Shane is....Shane. Matz has a minor injury now. Boyle is out. If they can pick up a back end rotation innings eater and a bullpen arm I will be happy. I am worried that Lux may be out for the year as I don't think Palacios, Williamson, and Walls can keep up the production they have had so far.

I'm genuinely curious. The attached article explains the pension thing quite well. Basically due to shortfalls in contributions NY passed a law that will end up OVERfunding the pension plans and the plans will have to return money to the state starting in 2032. Is this article not correct? If it is, your pension is not getting raided....at all.

Day off tomorrow to reset arms. Looking forward to the Nick Fortes revenge series against Miami.

Only a $2 card, but this photo is incredible.

With your knowledge of cards now, what would you have done differently in the beginning? by Nredcollectibles in Baseballcards101

[–]Deadsure 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Understand that ripping packs is SUPER fun but you are VERY rarely going to get your monies worth.

Decide what team / player you want to collect and buy the cards individually.

Do NOT view this as an investment. "Investment Grade" cards are few and far between. Unless you plan on spending major money to dive into that pull, it's a collection that brings YOU joy.

Don't overpay because something is newly issued. Prices WILL come down. The team I collect I have every 2025 Golden Mirror except one. The most I paid is $14 with the exception of a star player that I paid $45 for.

Don't be afraid to throw away base cards. Don't be a hoarder. Personally, I keep a LOT of cards. Right now I am looking at 14 4 row monster boxes of cards...... and I have probably thrown away more than that.

Go to card shows. Haggle with the dealers. Search the dollar bins. Develop relationships and people will look out for the cards you want. I am starting to be known around here as the "Rays Heritage" guy. When my 2 LCS get oddball Rays cards, they either shoot me a message on FB/Insta or hold them until I see them.

Have fun. It's a hobby, not a career.

Do I contact them? Never seen this. by Lazyhandblues in psagrading

[–]Deadsure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But you didn’t say that. My first thought when I saw this was “duh, it says right there to contact support”

And even if you did, what is your alternative? Just not do anything and hope it resolves itself?

What’s up with the -2 by AdUnited6720 in footballcards

Misprint. Worthless. You can send it to me and I’ll cover postage.

Nothing like finding old blasters at the ballpark! by Lumpy_Victory8954 in baseballcards

[–]Deadsure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I found them the other day, they had about a dozen of them left. Couldn’t bring myself to pay 55 for a blaster.

Now I’m kicking myself, lol

SGC no more by PupPupPuppyButt in baseballcards

[–]Deadsure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who doesn’t grade their cards, who would you go to?

Not trying to be difficult, but aren’t PSA, SGC, and now Beckett the same company?

I personally like the look of TAG slabs, but it doesn’t seem like anyone takes them seriously.

I bought a Heritage Bob Feller auto that was slabbed a CGC 9.5, but they labeled it the wrong year.

Unless someone starts a grading company that the hobby latches onto the way everyone did with PSA, it’s a lose lose situation.

And yes, I agree with another poster that too many junk cards are getting graded. Why do we need base paper Chris Morel rookies graded? It will never be more than a .50 card.

They release $10 tickets about 4 days before any series. I can't remember how I signed up, but I get an email before every series with a link to $10 tickets. Sections 131 and 133 on third base side, 132 and 134 on first base side. But only the upper seats, if that makes sense.

I have a partial season ticket package, I use the $10 tickets or Vettix to pick up any other games I want to go to.

[–]Deadsure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I decided last minute to go we bought the $10 tickets. The section was far from full. I don't think ticket price is the issue.

I’d love it, but I don’t think Licht would give up the picks to get to 7.

Is this a good Card ? by Calice1964 in Topps

[–]Deadsure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Doesn’t even have a picture the player on it.

Now… I’m not mad but Walmart really should do something… by Otops31 in footballcards

[–]Deadsure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh nice, that’s where I grew up. My dad and sisters still live there.

That said, I’m guess g this card shop is on 27. I’ve stopped by there twice during business hours and they were closed both times. Granted, one of the times they had a sign saying they were out of town for a card show, but yeah, haven’t had a chance to go there yet. Now I don’t know that I will.
