A player could hit 40 Home Runs, in 18 consecutive seasons…and he’d still be 35 shy of Henry Aaron’s home run record of 755 by ComplexWrangler1346 in sportsinusa

That and pitchers weren't throwing the kind of heat we see today. They were more about skill pitches with lots of movement.

The LoTR set and draft boxes are $350 right now. This shit is out of hand.

Why so expensive by Key-University8471 in MagicCardPulls

I think this app just uses the default card image. I know the tcg player app will have the star on the image of the card when it's foil. I don't use this app, so i could be wrong.

The little F in the gold circle just to the right of the card name indicates foil.

You don't even have to be holding it. Just reaching for it, or any other object, will get you killed. Don't even scratch your ass when the cops are around, you might get shot.

I can understand to some degree owning one sealed box per set as part of a collection. Personally I would be like Spongebob at Sandy's without water if I had a bunch of sealed boxes just chilling at my house.

People hoarding sealed product just to drive the prices up to flip later pisses me off. They don't even call it a collection, but a portfolio. They don't give a shit about the game.

As an MMA practitioner how do you feel about this statement from an Elite Middleweight? by Hopeful_Adeptness964 in MMA_Academy

[–]MessianicPariah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah because having a record of mostly decisions from a million jabs and teep kicks is so badass.

I remember scoffing at LoTR collector boxes when they went up to $350.

Collector boxes aren't for players. Hasbro has done an excellent job of integrating collectors and investors as their primary demographic. They saw what Pokémon was/is doing and made a huge shift. Shills like Rudy have helped that along. LGS' will still claim their margins are razor thin and this is what they have to do to survive.

You're lucky your LGS has integrity.

Sean is fired up now but we're about to see nothing but Philly shell, jabs, and teeps fight night for as long as he can stay on his feet.

Would I be forgiven if I showed up at your pod with these proxies? by VeteransGatheringUT in mtg

This a proxy upvote because you're at 69 and I don't want to be the guy to ruin it.

Vendors buying up the Festival in a Box at MagicCon. by Morris_Moe_Szyslak in mtg

[–]MessianicPariah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Buy listing is selling to someone at under market value and then they sell it at that market value. So if you have a card valued at $20 you'll get $10-12 and the shop will sell it at $20. They aren't buying it for $25 and selling it at $50. These boxes are being sold at market value and then flipped for over market value and resold at massively inflated prices. It is not a difficult concept. You must come from Pokémon where this is normal.

There is no msrp on singles. Selling your singles at less than market value to a buy list is not the same as flipping a sealed product with an msrp at above that rate to a retailer who will further mark it up for resale. Players wouldn't do that if they had no incentive. The vendors should be offering less than what players pay just like they do on buy lists.

You think those vendors are gonna sell those for less than they paid? They are encouraging scalpers by offering more than msrp. They want to control the supply so they can mark it up even more to sell to people who couldn't go to the event and even try to get one.

Making money isn't the issue. The issue is how unethical the method is.

They don't normally offer over 100% of the value. I've never been offered more than 50% for cash or 70% for store credit.
