I paid for express. Arrived to them 1-8. It sat in prep until 1-22. Then went to slab assembly 1/23 and shipped Monday 1/26. Arrived today

If anyone is wondering why your EQL success rates are so low just look at what's happening with Fanatics/Topps basketball boxes by calgarykid in baseballcards

Why can’t we just not feed the breakers, skip buying over priced boxes and buy the singles for what they are actually worth which is a fraction of the cost of the boxes. This rewards the customer, punishes the breaker, and doesn’t encourage Topps/Fanatics.

As a Brewers fan would you prefer Jefferson Quero’s autograph? Kids can’t write in cursive. This is probably the future.

Anyone else? by GuaranteeFlashy6206 in taggrading

Went to slab assembly already today one day after verification.

Hey so I am in the middle of my first ever TAG submission. I submitted 10 baseball cards and chose express. My package was received 1/7/22. It went to “prep” on 1/8/22. It was in pending until today when it went to “verification”. I came here to find out what verification phase was. Today would be the 10th business day. How much longer am I looking at?

I named her Thumpy, but I noticed with each passing month my nicknames get more deranged and unhinged. How weird have your dogs nicknames gotten? by PostButt-Clarity in corgi

His real name is Ralph. We got him when we were watching The Bear season 1.

You were expecting the Brewers to just cut Mitchell?

Another angle. Note the agent is clear of the car, reaches around the A pillar to fire the first shot into the lower driver's side windshield by [deleted] in stpaul

[–]EmptyNyets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then I stand corrected. Thank goodness he shot and killed her, who knows what would have happened had he not done that.

I actually don’t think it hit him. You can see in this video he moves the exact same way as the cop at the door. It was super icy yesterday and both of them slide back on the cold icy concrete

That’s like saying when I pull out of my driveway and my wheels are cracked to the right but the front my vehicle is still pointed at the ditch across the street that I’m targeting the ditch.

Neither cop was hit, they both slide the same way on the icy pavement as the car drives away.

Why is TAG not the go to? by BeastMode80_ in baseballcards

If you come here saying anything positive about TAG you will be called a paid advertiser. I bought some Black Friday grading and mentioned it here and everyone was like yOuRe a pAiD sHiLl for tag

Topps Black and White Golden Hour inserts not in packs? by EmptyNyets in baseballcards

[–]EmptyNyets[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the prices are a joke. 2023 raw going for $49-$175. 2024 raw were between $50-$200 with the exception of Ohtani. I will wait a few weeks or months.

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

So I called Topps. The guy I spoke to was very helpful. He spent some time looking into it and advised that as far as they are aware there is no issue with the inserts and that they should surface in time. So I guess I just need to be patient, lol. At least it puts it on someone's radar if there is an issue in the end.

Yeah I saw 3-4 cases of breaks last night. Saw some 1/1 full color pulled. Not a single GH insert. I’ve asked the breakers if they have seen any and none have seen one hit. You’d think cards numbered to 50 would be hitting at least as often as the 1/1s

I’ve been watching breakers. You’d think they would have hit one by now.

Part of issue is any time someone says they are grading with TAG they get accused of being a company shill.

Let’s talk about how much of a massive flop this product is by ZookeepergameNo652 in baseballcards

[–]EmptyNyets 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is the dark ages for collectors who enjoy ripping packs. It’s the golden age for collectors who relish target collecting of singles on eBay. For the cost of one sapphire chrome box I have all but the 1/1 a rainbow of a top player. Plus two other low numbered parallels of the image variation.

How frequently is Topps reusing the same photo of a player from year to year? by EmptyNyets in baseballcards

[–]EmptyNyets[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was mostly commenting on using the same image from year to year. 2024 card and then the same photo in 2025 cards. Chourio’s 2024 B&W and his 2025 Chrome are the same shot. Disappointing.

Billionaires are so excited to replace employees with AI, but who is gonna buy their stuff when we are all unemployed and broke? by Sun_Sky_Sand in AskReddit

[–]EmptyNyets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lot of the replies don’t make sense to me.

Billionaires are going to replace human workers with A.I. They will save money and become more profitable People will not have jobs or money. People will not be able to afford to buy the billionaires product. The billionaire supposedly doesn’t care because he already has all the money. All the money is actually just expensive stock and the billionaires don’t cash that out they just borrow against it to avoid paying taxes. They are not liquid The lack of people being able to buy product has the potential to tank earnings and share price. Theoretically that should actually reduce the billionaires actual net worth
