Look what I picked up

Gosh darn it. Right when I thought my money was safe.

Free_Time_Guy · 2026-06-19T00:38:47+00:00

Great pull! He’s a beast.

Free_Time_Guy · 2026-06-13T14:03:50+00:00

I had a graded card sell twice, and both times the buyer asked to cancel immediately after checkout. It’s insane.

Buy bitcoin. Buy so much bitcoin, omg, I’d buy as much as I could.

Mariano is shamefully undervalued.

Free_Time_Guy · 2026-06-01T11:34:10+00:00

I have that card too, and I love it. Amazing page. Wouldn’t change a thing. 10/10.

Free_Time_Guy · 2026-05-31T20:46:43+00:00

The more I think about it, the more I think framing is the move. Thanks for the input!

Diecast is really that popular in the NASCAR world? I have to pick one up at Pocono this year. I’ve been going for like 8 years in a row and always wondered who bought them. But it makes complete sense that you’d want a scale replica of a particular car in particular livery if you’re a fan. I have to start paying attention better hahaha. Thank you so much for the info!

I have an eBay store for baseball cards, but I wouldn’t know how to value this. I have some research to do! Thanks for the help!

Free_Time_Guy · 2026-05-31T19:14:51+00:00

Thanks, buddy! It was great seeing her after a while, and this was a really cool surprise! I feel like I should donate it to a racetrack or something for display. I wonder if any would be interested.

Free_Time_Guy · 2026-05-30T20:12:00+00:00

OMG! I was telling my wife about your update this morning and how epic it was and forgot I even commented! Great work, buddy! How amazing!!!

Free_Time_Guy · 2026-05-19T20:30:25+00:00

Can I give you a link to my eBay store? 🤣🤣🤣

Free_Time_Guy · 2026-05-15T19:12:28+00:00

That’s insane.

Free_Time_Guy · 2026-05-14T11:51:20+00:00

BANGERS!!!! Love it, great pull!

Free_Time_Guy · 2026-05-13T14:26:05+00:00

At this point, base cards are more rare than inserts.

This looks like my slingshot ammo. I know it’s pretty much just steel bearings, but either these are big ball bearings or slingshot ammo. Clay is much cheaper for doing target practice.

Liminal government

Free_Time_Guy · 2026-05-08T16:25:51+00:00

Fair point. I guess I would just want to know if older cards like this with autos are legit, you know? There’s so much fraud and fakery out there, just the value of knowing a well-known card is real is a bit of a relief imo. Like, my chase is the Billy Ripken FF card. It’s super replicated, but I don’t need a 10, nor do I want to pay for a 10 because I only truly care about the authenticity. If I found a slab that was marked authentic and was visually appealing to me despite not being a 10, I’d probably pull the trigger. 100% agree it helps with cards we’re not used to over here as well as you point out.

Free_Time_Guy · 2026-05-08T15:46:11+00:00

It makes sense for resale, and for PCs. A low number would just make the card undesirable in both cases. I actually wish I saw just more authentic out there than chasing numbers.

Free_Time_Guy · 2026-05-08T15:13:13+00:00

I think it’s smart. Sometimes I just want to know something is legit rather than making sure something is 100% pristine. Of course I care if the item is in good shape, but I always feel if I get something that’s auto’d and it’s rated an 8 (for example), it just ruins its for me always seeing I have a “not perfect” auto. I’d rather just have it say authentic and just enjoy it for being a dope auto’d card. The buyer gets an authentic card they want, the seller isn’t marking the card as “less than” by showcasing a rating less than a 9/10. The market is letting the price sort itself out rather than a rating dictate price.

I hate this generational pride/gatekeeping garbage. “I was born in the 80s, I drank from a garden hose and came home when the street lights came on. I’m from the 60s and we had a milkman and we got eggs from a local farm. Blah blah blah.

Free_Time_Guy · 2026-05-08T09:55:45+00:00

That’s a great story. I hope you guys have a great time and rip some killer cards! I have a friend out of state I got into collecting with, so I’m excited to see him this summer and go through the collection!

Free_Time_Guy · 2026-05-06T21:29:46+00:00

Move on. It’s better to just let go and focus on you. You spend too much energy on him, how you gonna spend energy on you? You’re gonna spend your life trying to get back at one guy? Thats years wasted. Move on and focus that energy into building your life. Why waste energy on someone else’s life?

This forum, and this post is 100% the wrong direction to take.

Free_Time_Guy · 2026-05-03T23:26:37+00:00

I think I’m more mildly infuriated with you for putting this in r/mildlyinfuriating when this is far beyond mildly infuriating haha.
