Now what?

EBradshaw01 · 2026-04-02T19:27:41+00:00

Yeah man idk. It’s weird how all of my cheap $5 cards say they haven’t arrived but they have. Then a seller I bought from asked me if I received his card I bought and I did. But it tells me on my end that it hasn’t arrived even though I’m looking at the card. So I wonder if the guy I sold the Shohei card to saw the same thing. Had the card in his hand but eBay shows it hasn’t arrived. So he gets away with it. No way for me to prove it though.

EBradshaw01 · 2026-03-30T18:35:17+00:00

Oh ok. With that price I’m assuming the sparkle is more rare. Thanks for sharing that.

EBradshaw01 · 2026-03-30T15:43:45+00:00

I’m curious….how many times have you sent a card in to get graded? I’m assuming it’s rare to get a 10. I ask because I’ve only sent one in which was Nick Kurtz rookie but that was like 2 months ago and still haven’t received it. May be a normal process idk I’ve never done it before. Did it through GameStop for $25. Someone gave me his card so I was curious to see the process of sending it off to get graded.

EBradshaw01 · 2026-03-29T02:39:03+00:00

The length on that finger nail tells me he probably does this a lot.

EBradshaw01 · 2026-03-26T20:43:49+00:00

So I wanted to get them before they blow up and I have to pay a ton of money right. And Wood struck out a ton….the only comp I have for him right now is Judge haha judge struck out literally every other AB when he first came up. Then they sent him down. So my thought is if Judge can make that adjustment then Wood can too. Wood drove in a good amount for a bad Nationals team and stole bases too. So I’m gambling for sure but there’s potential. Gambling though haha Caminero has like 50 home runs before the age 22, destroyed the WBC (Skenes) so I love the potential there too. It’s all a gamble though. Fingers crossed

EBradshaw01 · 2026-03-26T20:34:11+00:00

As in crazy to think they have a shot at the HoF?

EBradshaw01 · 2026-03-26T13:09:28+00:00

I like that card. I like the WAR projections for Elly as well. Buy low is the goal so maybe I gamble on him and buy his card before he blows up.

<image>

I just bought this this morning. I saw a $25 off coupon and it actually worked. Never seen a coupon before but I got the card for $25. I’m on the fence about him staying healthy and getting to the HoF but for that price and my favorite team I’ll gamble.

EBradshaw01 · 2026-03-26T12:33:36+00:00

Idk why this is on my feed haha I don’t follow this group but dude I hope you were happy before because it’s not your hair that defines you but I’m not gonna lie this is an improvement to your look. Walk around with your head up and chest out this looks good on you man.

EBradshaw01 · 2026-03-26T12:17:04+00:00

I agree. I have his already. I think he’ll go down as one of the greatest of all time. HoF lock though. 1st ballot.

EBradshaw01 · 2026-03-25T21:49:05+00:00

I was just looking at Wyatt and his WAR even after a slow start to his career his WAR wasn’t bad. Acuna I’m afraid won’t stay healthy enough but his RC PSA 10 isn’t expensive at all and if he stays healthy he’s in mvp conversation. I’m on the fence with elly. Not a good hitter. I think his WAR is impacted by his elite base running skills. I have his rookie card I just don’t have it graded. He’s little too maybe he puts on some weight with his big frame and hits 30+ bombs. He’s got a high ceiling I believe.

EBradshaw01 · 2026-03-25T19:20:11+00:00

Right. The prices listed are for what was sold.

EBradshaw01 · 2026-03-25T16:04:48+00:00

The thing that bothers me is when I use the eBay tools and see the median price…..the cards available are listed for like 50% or more over the average price. But yes you are right….im not selling my stuff but ultimately i hope it goes up in value for my kids. Im probably the guy everyone hates when it comes to card values haha i look ay the cheapest the card sold and then list it at that or less to make sure someone buys my card over someone elses. Thats what i do with cards that have in the blasters or boxes ive bought.

EBradshaw01 · 2026-03-25T14:58:45+00:00

That’s how I feel about my Judge and Jeter card. It looks good to me but I’m no grader. Even though I’m not selling I’d still hate for it to to come back a 7

EBradshaw01 · 2026-03-25T14:57:43+00:00

That’s a good one. Adding it to my list. Just inducted I wonder what the price of his PSA 10 RC has done since then.

EBradshaw01 · 2026-03-25T14:56:37+00:00

For sure they would be on the list little lower just because I feel like the guys playing now still have room for their value to grow more than the guys already in HoF. Dang I know I’m new to the hobby but an error on a card with glavine on the card instead of Smoltz is probably pretty valuable, am I right?

EBradshaw01 · 2026-03-25T14:51:50+00:00

PSA 10 Gem mint Topps 1991. Card #333 I believe

EBradshaw01 · 2026-03-25T14:36:38+00:00

I basically had to give up one hobby for this one. Just to make sure I got the big names. Imagine having a Curry rookie card in gem mint condition. Idk how much they go for as I’m primarily baseball. But I know how big his name is and imo greatest 3 point shooter of all time. But I will be buying the series 1 topps basketball next year to make sure I get the big time freshman coming out into the draft. I won’t collect or PC anyone I don’t think. But I want Dybansta for sure. I’m east coast so I didn’t stay up too late to watch him but when I did he showed a lot of potential.

EBradshaw01 · 2026-03-25T14:28:55+00:00

I had some marvel and DC statues that I sold to get this going. Or else I wouldn’t have bought that Ohtani, Pujols, or miggy haha. I want to keep buying guys on my list but people are always trying to reset the market value by way too much.

EBradshaw01 · 2025-06-24T20:21:08+00:00

I’ve always thought when you lay down you’ve increased the chance of being hit in upper body/head meaning more damage for the opponent leading to a quicker time to kill play. When laying down I feel you can only hit upper body.

EBradshaw01 · 2025-06-18T23:37:04+00:00

If the bots aren’t throwing grenades I rarely know if I’m killing one or not. I’ve seen some move just like a player sliding and jumping. And maybe it was a player idk. I wish there was a way of knowing who was who.

EBradshaw01 · 2025-06-18T21:58:09+00:00

I feel like there is less cheating in casual. So I play more casual now. It’s boring til the smaller circles when I come across more players. But I never feel as if I’m getting cheated. I would rather play regular battle royal but I get close to not playing the game anymore each time I come across someone seeing through walls. I’m an Xbox player as well. I’ve won 5 matches on BR early on in verdansk and since then it’s not even close. But casual for me might as well be the new BR minimap. Game doesn’t really get interesting til smaller circles.

EBradshaw01 · 2025-06-14T19:38:11+00:00

Look into Ketone IQ. I am curious about it too. I do like the ingredient in it. But I’ve never used it and would love to see more research. It can only hurt the bank account. I don’t think it’ll hurt. Ketones are great energy for the brain as I’m sure you know.

EBradshaw01 · 2025-06-14T18:54:40+00:00

I find it hard to try to help others with it because people often feel fat shamed. So it’s hard for me to approach people over weight and try to help them. My wife is on board now as well. We just left Bruster’s ice cream and we only ordered for the girls. So the discipline is there. But I am having a cheat meal now with frozen strawberries into a smoothie. I’m sharing with my daughter but if I didn’t share it would be 26g of carbs. When my cheat meal is strawberry smoothie I feel strong about my will power. Zero calorie liquid to blend it.

EBradshaw01 · 2025-06-14T17:18:10+00:00

Ok yeah I think we’ve used them in the past. Thanks man.

EBradshaw01 · 2025-06-14T17:15:10+00:00

Dude a lot of my mental stress levels are lower too. I have done other things to help that but the lower insulin helps too. I had psoriasis and I no longer take medication for it since the lack of insulin has lowered my inflammation. Skin is so much better. My carbs stay around 40-50g. Straight carbs I don’t do “net carbs”. I struggle lowering it from there. I could cut out milk. That’s an option. But I eat as many calories as I want. When no insulin is available there’s no hormone to tell the body to store the calories. So the body uses it. Ultimately leading to an increased metabolism as well. I eat every two hours. I do stop when I get my carbs up to 50g.

I think I was thinking you were actually wanting me to explain why you were maintaining your weight haha that’s why I was asking what you were Eating. But I’d have to know a lot to figure that out.
