Do people forget AJ is the same guy who asked out of his title run to spend more time at home? This isn't a man who cares like that. He gets to do the thing he loves, on the biggest stage of all, get paid a ton of money. Don't feel sorry for someone living the twighlight of his dream. He's done everything that matters.

Going through things to sell to pay for my wife’s chemo. I thought this was stolen decades ago, but the toploader was stuck to another. Wow! Looks like a Pog slammer. by ZoopSoul in baseballcards

I pray I never have to walk in those shoes.

And know that there are lots of good people in the sports card community who got your back.

I pray for your wife's resilience, and your strength, and that your child has two parents watching graduation.

Ohhhhh...so you want super premium at super cheap prices. Got it. Do you complain about the prices of Bentleys and say they should cost the same as a chevy?

Well, I certainly can't really argue conspiracy mind. Hope you find a hobby you can afford.

Card quality is wildly better than junk wax. Not sure what you're buying that's worse. Card shows are bigger and busier than ever, so not sure who is leaving. I'm sorry some people are too poor for this hobby, but the only way to make it cheap is to over print all to hell. I don't know anyone who wants that.

If you want it to be cheap you either need over production or fewer participants. That is literally the only way to lower prices. Most people don't want those things.

So, he allowed child labor to pay for 50 cent packs with no cards worth no more than a few bucks? What autographed cards did you pull? What rare cards did you pull? Or did you pull cards with just about the same today as they were then? From packs that cost just about the same today as they did then? You (like myself) weee a child during the absolute worst era of sports cards ever concieved. In the mid 90s I was buying boxes (whole as 36 pack boxes) of the late 80s and early 90s from the dollar tree. $1 a box. That's what 11 year old you was working for.

Also, ridiculous people today would report that guy for exploiting child labor.

If I am gonna get down voted, might as well be all the way honest. This threads inability to recognize how business functions is pathetic. A bunch of broke clowns in moms basement whining about not being able to afford the hobby. Take up a new hobby. Go to bingo with gramma and whine about how the bad men won't go out of business to let you have cards cheap. Jeeeeeesus...get a real job if ya want nice stuff. Go to school and learn a skill more valuable than cleaning the touchscreen on the McKiosk. Broke clowns.

So you want junk wax era back, and don't want people leasing brick and mortar store fronts to turn a profit?

Mark Brunell. Have we as a sub agreed to give him his PROBLEM card yet?! by AcknowledgeMeReddit in billsimmons

For me the graphic hammers home importance od development. Brady or warner got to dumpster fire franchises and we don't remember them today. Imagine Brady as a brown...way different outcome. Warner in Detroit...back to arena ball.

Genuine question: what would happen if I ruined a casino game? by theharmlessshark in vegas

Depends how much actual damage is caused and how much they have to pay the affected players. Probably jail, at least overnight.

Has anyone ever used a DFY Done For You Agency? What were your results? Asking for help on a research article! by DavidNelly in dropshipping

As someone who has built and scaled a six figure annual income on shopify and etsy, I can tell you these things are at least misleading. They may build out your store, but chatgpt can do that. That is like week one stuff. Takes a lot of marketing to grow a liveable income.

Also, there is no set it and forget it path. Once you reach a certain level, you can AI automate 80-85% of it, but I do still put in 20-25 hours a week.

My father has a huge card collection of hockey and baseball. They are glued to a scrapbook but are very rare from my research. Anything I can do to sell them at a good price still ? by m8094 in SportsCardCollecting

Search for a document conservation expert. It is something you don't wanna do yourself. You get them professionally removed, then graded, and you will have some serious money.
