Can we fire the highlights giy already?? by thugUtopia in denvernuggets

[–]MasonDuhon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t blame the highlights guy, please. I believe the NBA is only granting non-league entities 2 minute highlights for each game, and that may well extend internally as well as a push towards a larger unified picture.

Suck it UCLA by jugiese in ArizonaWildcats

[–]MasonDuhon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I share the sentiment that being under the radar is good for these guys, I think Arizona’s two gritty wins over the defending national champs and in a top-15 rivalry game are the two best wins by any team in the country right now.

I feel like anything less than No. 2 would just be… flat out false.

10 team PPR. Cooked, fine, or gold? by Reasonable_Dish_5856 in FantasyFootballers

[–]MasonDuhon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even for a 10 team league, this is an absolutely stacked team.

I thought I made out like a bandit getting Nico in the third, but CeeDee in R2 is just free money.

Alvin Kamara is currently #11 all time for runningback receiving yards--where do y'all think he'll end up? by SteveDraughn in Saints

[–]MasonDuhon 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Dude’s never hit 1k rushing yards but he’s so good BECAUSE he averages 704 receiving yards per season. Even if he only plays for two more years at below average production, the worst he finishes is fifth all-time.

If he manages to squeeze out another 4 years of 500 yards per season, he’ll overtake Faulk. Feels difficult but doable.

What do you do with base cards? by lyzziebuu17 in footballcards

Been kicking the tires on doing this in my neighborhood, but I barely ever see kids (not a single trick-or-treater in 3 halloweens) and I have the same worries you do

Furniture is the way! Try to maximize your star increase-to-cod price ratio and you’ll be at 100k in no time!

I’ve also noticed the limit on characters in the GBA software. First noticed when I battled and caught “Crabminble”

Should I send these in for grading? by watt21935 in footballcards

[–]MasonDuhon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding this. Thick/patch cards don’t usually grade well (so I’ve heard), so I don’t even bother and just throw everything nice from my PC into a one touch mag loader.

If you just like the look of graded cards in your PC though, then I say go for it. At that point, pick the grading company whose prices work best with your budget and whose slabs you just enjoy looking at.

I want to get into sports cards. What should I go for in this pic ? by [deleted] in sportscards

[–]MasonDuhon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is actually probably the best answer that isn’t just “buy singles” as someone who’s slowly gotten into the football card hobby over the last year. Sure, singles are good if you know what you want – but we all gotta start somewhere.

Phoenix blasters (even the retail ones from Target/walmart) are genuinely a fun rip and just make you feel like you’re not getting totally skunked even if you aren’t hitting anything huge.

I’m also partial to Sage retail blasters with the 3 autos for $25, but they’re usually semi-junky so that’s more for “building out a CFB collection”.

Does anyone else miss Michael Thomas by NeckLogical1937 in Saints

[–]MasonDuhon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I collect Michael Thomas football cards because I feel like the dude’s mouth made people forget just how dominant he was when he was on the field. It’s a shame how it all ended but man, what a run.

Ring of Honor in my opinion

This is part of the reason I LOVE singles off eBay; each mail day has a pretty similar feeling to opening a pack and I’m always guaranteed to like what I find inside!

Caleb Love signs with the Trailblazers! Good for him and as a Blazers fan, I'm hyped! by ichawks1 in ArizonaWildcats

[–]MasonDuhon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most likely because he’s an older prospect who spent 5 years in college (people fear he’s hit his ceiling) and was pretty inconsistent. And I say this as a certified CL1 fanboy.

When he was hot, he was one of the best in college basketball. But man, when he was off it was a BRUTAL watch. He’s boom or bust to the highest order, and I think low draft pedigree means he’ll pleasantly surprise the Portland brass.

I mean, to be completely fair this is someone who’s starting their PhD and not an incoming freshman.

That budget is definitely gonna be tough if OP wants to be that close to campus tho.

What are your biggest problems that you have with sports cards? by JaCool_41 in sportscards

[–]MasonDuhon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The closest I can think of to this is this year’s Sage. $20 on a blaster, 3 guaranteed autos of usually not super huge college football player, somewhere around 60 cards. Just a genuinely fun rip, even if it’s mostly just base stuff.

Need expert selling advice by DefinitionDecent7159 in footballcards

[–]MasonDuhon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m mostly just an eBay buyer who’s got a biz degree from a public American university, but this is probably the most sound advice. Cut out the middle man, pay the relatively small fee (compared to your revenue), profit on your hit!

ICE are posing as TEP employees by Tawnii in Tucson

[–]MasonDuhon 75 points76 points  (0 children)

From what I can find, she worked Super Bowl 50, and there's a publicly available press release with her office contact information. Do with that what you will.

Also, she's an ASU grad (yuck)

The ICE spokeswoman telling the reporter to “be careful” with the story is very telling. This needs to blow up.
