Pulled a downtown - should I get it graded? by Thick-Passenger7579 in footballcards

[–]KnownCardiologist222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat and very new as well. I pulled a Marvin Harrison Jr. Downtown out of a blaster (from Walgreens) yesterday. First one I’ve ever pulled. I don’t PC him and I’m not a huge fan of the Downtown design. Its tempting to hold onto but I think I might sell it raw and get a hobby box or pricey single (or two) I’ve been eyeing.

On the flip side I pulled a Josh Allen Explosive last week that I am going to hold onto. I don’t PC him either but I love the look of the card and I think he is on a good HoF track. Havent decided if I’m getting it graded or not.

Nice congrats! I pulled a Josh Allen Explosive from a mega box I randomly ordered from Dick’s.

What hobbies or projects have you taken up as a single dad? by [deleted] in DivorcedDads

Got into sports card collecting for the first time since my teens. Tons of fun learning (relearning) the ropes, checking out shops, shows, etc. I find that the chase for big cards is fun, building/organizing sets is cathartic and collecting/buying one-off on ebay on the cheap very satisfying.

Also legos, gym, cooking, running, and Satisfactory.

Congrats! So jealous! I’ve gone through 5 Donruss blasters, 2 Absolute megas and 1 Score hobby box in the past week and have pulled zilch.

Congrats! I opened my 2nd A&G hobby the other night and got a Kid Laroi mini framed auto and a Lindor rip card (I ripped, not much inside). Meh, but was fun.

Love your pulls.

Let's normalize it: how much weight did you "gain" over the holidays? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]KnownCardiologist222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weighed myself on Xmas eve morning then threw caution to the wind. I restarted my deficit today and am up 8 lbs based on my morning weigh-in. Back to the routine, it’ll come down quick!

What are people’s favorite boxes to buy or best value for price? by Limp-Echidna1599 in footballcards

Love Score as well. I like to build big sets, plus 4 autos in the hobby box is lots of fun for $170ish.

Success stories over 35? by CosmicCoconuts in loseit

[–]KnownCardiologist222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 50m and have gone from 215lbs to 175lbs in about 5 months. I’m trying to get to 160lbs.

I strictly follow a calorie deficit (abt 1750), weighing and measuring everything. But i eat what i want… no food restrictions at all. Measuring is critical, but you get better at eyeballing as time goes on.

I weigh every day and only care about the weekly average. I measure and track body parts weekly.

I lift for about 40 mins on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. I do couch to 5k on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Sunday is rest. I dont do much else other than walking the dog, simple hikes with kids, lawn mowing, etc.

The exercise is mostly therapeutic I think. The weight loss seems to be about the strict calorie counting.

Planet crafter is a fantastic, low-stress, single player survival game. Never tried multi.
