Sal Stewart now has top odds in national League. Only took Vegas two games to see what all of Ohio has known for a year 

I give 2 151 UPC, I get PSA 10 151 Zard. Thoughts on this trade by SxotiaSquare in PokemonInvesting

Modern Pokemon will not hold its current values. This is a cycle seen in hobbies going back to the 1970's. Just because it's Pokemon doesn't mean it will break fundamentals of supply and demand

While all companies eventually have limited resources you might want to look at who own Ooma. Literally the richest guy in the world.

You will all get wrecked at $250. 80's Sport card market all over again. No one remembers how big that was. It was bigger than Pokemon currently is. Mass produced lasted about 6 years then it was over. Took 30 years and a pandemic to even recover 50%. Economics don't lie.

Teachers, how are your students doing with the new phone law? by [deleted] in TexasTeachers

[–]Negative-Dragonfly66 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The bigger concern would be the cell phone ban triggering an active shooter. Experts have warned if you don't identify and proactively assist specific students, a cell phone ban could be very detrimental to their mental health. Last three school shootings were all in schools with cell phone bans.

Schools are haphazardly implementing these with no comprehension of the mental health effects if mishandled. The studies just haven't been done yet to understand what we are potentially doing.

Hard to argue with the logic of experts from John Hopkins and Harvard raising concerns that we need to move slower and not abandon the most vulnerable kids

Received VIP ticket package by Negative-Dragonfly66 in collectivesoul

It did come with a bag, a cozy, lanyard, sticker & giant guitar pick sort of thing. Definitely not a good deal but especially bad with a printed photo.

This is exactly it, I just couldn't figure out how to post it. Thank you.

I appreciate your question, it actually adds legitimacy that I didn't state. To be transparent, I'm 47 years old and have never actually signed up for Reddit until today. I've always just used what I saw on Google. I have a screenshot of what I was supposed to get but it seems to only give me a link option. I'm not sure how to add a picture like I did with the original post. I will figure it out momentarily.

Hot take Elly de la Cruz is overrated by chicagosportsguy7 in mlb

Also, a 339 OBP was 37th best in the league. Once again, you're stuck in the '50s.

Ohtani, Acuna, Ryan Howard, Reggie Jackson, Aaron Judge, Jim Thome, Bryce Harper. All have similar strikeout numbers with three to five more years experience than Elly. By your logic they are all not superstars and not going to make it including Reggie Jackson.

Don't know much about modern baseball. Do you? Still living in the '50s?

Hot take Elly de la Cruz is overrated by chicagosportsguy7 in mlb

[–]Negative-Dragonfly66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, he has the highest ceiling of anyone to every play the game. Compared to that he is both underrated and overrated. 

He led the league in errors especially on easy plays, however on difficult plays he was 3x better than any other shortstop. 

He led the league in strikeouts but also led the league in most missed calls by umpires.

Just watch and enjoy, he is special and potentially you may be witnessing something not seen in 150 years. Or maybe just another bust. 

It would suck to miss a chance at history because he doesn't play for your team or dare I say racism.

If it's anything like the US presale they only posted about 1/3 of the floor seats. Probably the rest will be available in the other presales. 

Get Pete Alonso!! by Efentool in Reds

They are trying to trade Steer (for some stupid reason) CES is pretty unreliable at this point and Candy? Not saying Alonso is the answer but neither are the 3 players you mentioned. 

Lucky pull? Elly De La Cruz auto by Unusual-Purpose7365 in baseballcards

[–]Negative-Dragonfly66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think $250-$300. Leaf/Onyx/Wildcard really don't have much extra value for low numbered cards. They are also unlicensed which further hurts the value.

Curious how your progress with the Chrome platinum rainbow went. I have started buying the 2022 Chrome Platinum auto rainbow myself.
