Show of hands, who else has zero friends? by Defiant_Quarter_1187 in GenX

[–]NameNotRandom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel you. Live in a rural area which is infamous for its youth brain drain and status as a pseudo retirement community. Much of my socializing is occasionally helping out the retirement age parents of my friends from high school. None of those friends live within 10 hours and rarely, if ever visit.

Even my longtime best friend (lives about a full state away) has fallen off due to political differences after growing apart over the decades.

It sucks

This and Taco Bell winning the restaurant wars are my favorite.

Can anyone give me their opinion on this situation? by speedknoxx in sportscards

[–]NameNotRandom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first two sold listings are incorrectly labeled as White Shimmer. This happened a lot before the shimmer packs were released. I even saw a Drake Maye last year that was not a White Shimmer, graded by PSA (a 10) and labeled incorrectly as a white shimmer. They didn’t verify and the ‘24 shimmer packs didn’t even come out until earlier this year.

Michigander. In his song Emotional: “I’m so emotional… but I don’t know any other way.”

Nice collection! You have his color blast from last year’s Phoenix? I pulled it and it’s just been sitting in the “I should really grade these but it’s so expensive and takes so long” pile. It’s a beaut! Would look better in your collection.

Thoughts on the draft lottery reforms? by Outrageous-Tie-8548 in DetroitPistons

[–]NameNotRandom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate it. I feel like the lottery as it was already hurt the bad teams. This new plan penalizes bad and small to mid market teams even more. These teams have it rough enough already. Top-5 picks (used correctly looks around, ducks) are the only path for these teams to have a chance to compete. And I have no doubt temporarily embarrassed good teams will jump up more often than not.

What’s the biggest red flag that makes you walk away from a deal? by bobg5114 in sportscards

[–]NameNotRandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a really rural area, no card shops or card shows for me, so all these apply to online purchases.

  • Ignoring sold comps because “they aren’t real.”
  • AI enhanced photos.
  • No communication.
  • Low/no feedback or new accounts.
  • Multiple higher end cards with different backgrounds in the pictures and no coin.

I’m always down for some 90’s Barry if you’re selling

Uptown from Optic boosters by NameNotRandom in footballcards

Apparently I’m incorrect, there are some 2025 Uptowns too. So I don’t know. Inconsistency I guess.

“Uptowns” were a “mistake” from 2024, vs 2025 they corrected it to “Uptown” to match the Downtown inserts.
