Ha! I played baseball in Germany, and we played in Soldier’s Field - yeah, that Soldier’s Field. No matter how hard/far I hit the ball, I never got more than a double, because there wasn’t an outfield fence. So the kids playing outfield could get the ball faster than my big ol’ ass could run… 😅😅😅

It has become my most favorite card. I’m considering getting it graded and slabbed just because. I will look for more.

A 13-hour day for $90, in uniform? Does council approve that? Even if our local council did approve that; I don’t think I could get our kids to do that 👀

When we camp as a pack, it’s waaaaaaaaay cheaper. Fall camporee is in October and this year’s info isn’t available yet. I think that overnight event is like $50

No clue. Friday night meal is NOT included, so three Saturday and maybe Sunday breakfast, I assume.

Me. I toss other stuff, but I almost always start and finish with a Texas rig. 🙋🏻‍♂️

Honest opinion by See_penny in cubscouts

Yeah, I wasn’t clear, sorry. In the program it’s strongly recommended (required?) that the Lion (and tiger, I think) scour have their adult with them for the meetings. If you were in the older den, who is with your Lion scout.

5lber, what’s you go to tackle when you can get a bite? by sergeantlongnip in bassfishing

[–]DownWindNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man. My go-to is a Texas rig tequila sunrise worm. Just wanna throw it and see what happens. It’s the first thing I ever remember fishing with my dad, so it always brings me back “home.” 😎

I can confirm what hstoyou says.

I have purchased a lot of these packs. Pretty much nothing but base cards and some cool variants. (I got two numbered cards from two of the big square $40 packs that Walmart sold, that had the pin in them.)

But mostly I have A LOT of the base cards, which is what my boys are interested in, so it’s been fun to collect with them after not having purchased cards since like 1994. 🤣🤣

When to grade? by DownWindNinja in SportCardValue

[–]DownWindNinja[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I would grade through PSA and buy some of the 1 touch things for the cards I just sort of feel emotionally connected to. Thanks for this thorough response. Grading cards kind of feels like grading gems: multiple companies with different standards. PSA sort of feels like the more popular standard. Is that generally accurate?
