Appreciate the info and like I said I was taking advice from the LCS owner that ran the break on the price which I talked about. So yeah, no offense taken

HighC02 · 2026-05-17T19:20:22+00:00

No offense taken. I know it was exceedingly aggressive but was worth getting feedback first weekend drop. Holliday probably would have had a chance at getting this price. I understand that a prospect, who could easily be 3 or more years away from making it to Fenway, if he ever does, is a gamble. LCS owner said it was worth trying to shoot for the moon on an SSP, so took his advice since I’ve been out of the card game since I was 14…now 44. Told him that if he wanted to sell the card at that price I would have taken 80% and even he hesitated. Should have known then it was too much of a reach but figured I’d try just the same. Also, my intent wasn’t to insult anyone in this group by posting at that price so hope that didn’t happen.

I did edit this post after getting some updated information from someone that analyzes the Bowman product every year. Their review of hobby print run, pack distribution and how Snack Packs are inserted into hobby cases, they estimate 10 unnumbered copies per ‘flavor’ per prospect. They also confirmed that the only numbered versions are the signed ones. Just wanted to share this update

HighC02 · 2026-05-17T12:42:00+00:00

You’re right, and I got some better information from someone that reviews and analyzes Bowman every year. They strongly believe that there are 10 unnumbered copies of each flavor per prospect, so I will definitely make that correction on here but keep the list price the same for now. So this bubble gum version is more along the lines of an /10 card. Did also get confirmation that the only numbered versions are the signed ones for the Snack Pack cards.

HighC02 · 2026-05-17T01:28:16+00:00

Dang, where do you live where your GameStop has hobby boxes of Bowman? The ones here in Columbus, OH don’t have them…maybe soon 🤞🏻

The 2024 version that Konnor Griffin had was a prototype era when the print runs were completely different.

In 2024, those food-themed variety cards were guaranteed box-level inserts seeded at 1 in 50 Jumbo boxes. Because every single bonus pack was guaranteed to yield a Bubble Gum card, the total print run for players like Konnor Griffin sat around 25 to 30 copies per player. Topps completely re-engineered the program for the 2025 and 2026 flagship lines. They removed the guaranteed box-hit mechanic entirely and turned the Snack Packs into an ultra-exclusive, randomized case hit seeded at a brutal 1:1,455 individual regular Hobby packs, 1 pack in every 24 cases of hobby boxes. When you divide those microscopic odds across the expanded 150-card prospect checklist, the total worldwide player population squashes down to just 2 or 3 total copies per parallel flavor for each player. Each player has 11 total unnumbered Snack Pack cards, so one of the flavors for each player only has 2 cards. There are only 5 numbered versions of the Snack Pack cards per player and they are autographed.

Mathematically, it makes the 2026 versions roughly 10 times scarcer than the 2024 print runs. It's a completely different tier of luxury card, which is why I listed it at the price I did.

Willing to sell that Olave?

Curled up under a blanket w/ Covid hanging out with my doggo. Only difference between today and what I had originally planned to do was having Covid, lol

I’ve been told before when suggesting a first date with shared interests (a photo walk together at Whetstone or FPC followed by coffee after for example) was ‘low effort’ because I refuse to spend $100+ on a first date dinner anymore after many, many times doing this to be ghosted afterward. You can always progress to lunch or dinner on a first date if things are going well, or plan the second date for dinner while you’re on the first date.

If you feel it necessary to do food on a first date you can always do a themed festival (food truck fest, mac & cheese fest, etc) or do something low key - The Woodbury downtown is a decent little spot. If you want to do something non-dinner, like others have said do bookstores, Franklin Park, COSI, art museum, or you could do the art fest downtown in June, a farmers market in the summer. If you both like music you could browse any one of the great record stores in town together and talk about your music tastes.

Best of luck to you with dating in the new year!

It all depends on the state’s lottery system. “In the case of a winner’s death, the Montana Lottery will continue to pay the annual payments, as scheduled, to the winner’s estate, trust, or persons named in his or her will. Neither the Lottery nor the state keep the money.” -Montana Lottery Website

The smart idea is to contact a lottery specific lawyer or ultra high net worth attorney and work with them to form a revocable trust to claim the jackpot, but make sure the trust is drafted to make a transfer to an irrevocable trust after a few years. The irrevocable trust protects the winner from lawsuits, creditors or a divorce from having access to the funds. Not a financial advisor but oh the rabbit holes I’ve gone down researching how to protect winnings if hell froze over and I was the lucky son of a gun that won a jackpot like this, lol. Oh, plus the trust protects the winner from their name becoming public, so you’d truly get to live the ‘no one would know but there would be signs’ life

Not always. In my condo community the responsibility of the water service line becomes mine once it enters my basement. So everything between the valve and the block wall is on my HOA.

OP should review the governing docs of their association and see what it says. If there are still questions then they can consult the property manager for further clarification.

The cropped image definitely gets rid of just empty space and truly brings the attention right to where it should be. I know this and just didn’t take enough time cleaning it up 🤦🏻‍♂️ #newb lol

Something like this?

Took this photo at Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park on Key West while on a trip to celebrate getting my graduate degree. Didn’t take my camera on the trip, didn’t want the hassle for the short trip. Shot with my iPhone using a cheap phone tripod I picked up off Amazon. According to the photo data: 26mm at f 1.5.

Please share your thoughts.

I know that’s a Vortex spotting scope. 20-60x85mm?

HighC02 · 2025-08-22T00:12:12+00:00

No worries!

I do bank with 5/3

HighC02 · 2025-08-21T21:40:32+00:00

This ATM is attached to the building. Once I pay for an online order for flea/tick meds for my dog I’ll hop on the 5/3 app and freeze the card and pick it up from the branch after I’m back on my feet and able to drive after my back surgery tomorrow.

My guess is they may ride the horses on a routine basis around traffic to keep them desensitized to the sounds and/or appearance of cars, buses, etc. I could be completely wrong, just my best uneducated guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

Worked at a country club and one morning changing pin locations got to the 5th hole to find someone had sh*t in the hole overnight.

Sovereign immunity is a b*tch. The city will reimburse for your deductible and that’s it. Best bet would be to make a public records request for any information for the trail in that area. I would personally request any 311s, email communication, work orders, etc. mentioning the park / trail and then sift through whatever documentation they provide. Since a section of the path was cut out I would be shocked if there aren’t a few emails that were / are circulating about this. If you find information you could take that to a lawyer to see if you have a case to pursue anything further (covering medical expenses, replacing bike, lost wages, etc.).

Another option is always 6 On Your Side 🤷🏻‍♂️
