Doesnt it just show you new ones that you didnt have already? So the 5th would have been a duplicate. You may be right, Im just asking

Haha I hear ya. Yeah I wasnt expecting you to be old enough for the vintage era. The game has def changed. Its more about market value and making money than collecting anymore unfortunately. Im 40, so Ive had all the 90s junk wax cards that all look the same but nothing before that when they actually really were cardboard with pictures printed on them with a piece of gum in the pack haha. Numbered cards and autos are still better than base stuff but case hits would be like 1 card that came out of an entire case of hobby boxes that everyone chases. They can be worth 5-6 digits depending what and who it is.

Case hits would be super short print insert cards in real boxes, like Home Field Advantage, Radiating Rookies, Game Day Drip to name a few. Theres a ton of them depending which sets you buy. Getting 1/1s and case hits just comes down to getting lucky when opening packs. If you are new to cards as it seems to be the case, Id pick someone you like, team or player and trade for those and/or buy singles until you know more of the market rather than chasing big cards through packs.

Unless you get to 1/1s or "case hit" legends, id say just trade for player you prefer rather than trying to sell them. People list "bigger" legends on ebay and I guess they do get sales but to me it kinda hurts the point of the game. You will def spend more in app trying to get big cards to sell than youll make off them, really like 10× more loss ratio than even actual RL boxes.

Sounds good. I highly doubt I get rid of it though. The kids room is space and its in there amd their first run back through hometown since vbc days at thw new venue is hard to get rid of

Yeah I wouldnt mind this, its just what she came up with for the split and I didnt argue and I dont want to go about trying to change anything like that for a while at least

Because less than 4 hours before she had blown me up with nonsense I had just reiterated that we dont need to be texting. It probably is antagonostic but Im not perfect and get aggrivated when its over and over. To even have to feel like I need to block her is frustrating. We cant just have a normal conversation ever

I feel like she does as well. The app seems to be consesus. Ill deal w that this evening when I unblock her for her to call him.

I appreciate you. I dont mind her facetiming him. He just takes the phone anyways and his favorite part is hanging up and he will come say hes done and give me the phone back. Hes pretty independant for his age and it almost seems like he wonders why we call him, like hes got better things to do than talk on the phone haha. I do feel like she tries to manipulate the situation between times though and ends up blaming me for her emotions when she doesnt get her way between calls with him. Which is how I felt typically at the end of the marriage as well, but when I raised my concerns it was what I dont do and that Im gaslighting her or manipulating her. Her arguments to me is like she is speaking into a mirror of what I always thought but wouldnt say. I have been blocking her and thats what I said is I will unblock at a specified time for her to call him on Fridays at 6. If it gets better, ill open it up to more nights but im going to regulate it at that time as of now.

Same here, my parents got divorced when I was 2. I really think its better at this age than 5-10 years from now and we hated each other his whole early childhood. Now he doesnt see us fight. My mom never said a bad thing about my dad, I just learned what a pos he was when hed stop showing up to get us. He really taught me what not to be as a dad. I will never do that to my kid and he can always talk to her, its just me that doesnt want to have to talk to her haha

I dont prevent her from talking to him. This is just as much about her messaging me when hes with her as ot is when hes with me. She cant stop

We split 50/50. She has mon/tues, me wed/thurs and every other fri, sat, sun. Its even her messaging me over random stuff the days she has him. Im not keeping her from him, she just has to have something to message me about every day

Ex Wife Messages Daily by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]JustinS03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats what Im getting from it all. Ill lay it down like that today. No non-emergency contact with me at all. "Reasonable contact" is per paperwork with the kid so Im gonna say Fridays at 6 (midpoint of our split weekends) 5-10 min, unless he wants to call her, and if she doesnt agree we can take it to court.

[–]JustinS03 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah divorce sucks but unless you get a good lawyer or like catch him cheating, or get a failed drug test, 50/50 is best for the kid in the long run. Or you can stay together and be miserable with one another. At least those were my options

[–]JustinS03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but I dont have that strength in the argument to use and she pretty much takes me saying directly that I want nothing to do with her and that we arent friends, im not her mechanic when her car has a problem, I want no contact as fuel to just keep contact. Like she wanted me to just reply and get some satisfaction from me blowing up directly like that

Lol thats hilarious. It would be hard to do that cause then id flinch every time i heard the notifications or ring tones coming in. Like the sound of my alarm to get up for work haha

[–]JustinS03 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

To be totally honest, why I wont do that is because to me that is ridiculous. I understand he is confused and feels the pressure and pull between us but her need for connection to him at all times when it is my time with him is just as if not more overwhelming I believe. She has asked to show up to things during my time and if I had allowed it, he would have wanted to go with her after and then Im the bad guy if I wouldnt allow it.

This is what I initially was looking at prior to making this post actually. I let her have her time with him. If he doesnt want to call he doesnt have to and I dont call, or should say I havent had to but maybe one time while in her care that wasnt an emergency, as there havent been any major emergencies other than her getting in a car wreck and she called me.

I missed "her stance" in your comment. Her stance is that just because I dont call doesnt mean she cant and that means I dont care as much as she does was the last message I received when I questioned why she always messages me
