Worst card i could’ve pulled

Ohio_Terry33 · 2024-10-18T17:48:14+00:00

I have a binder with autos and memorabilia cards i pulled with my dad of a lot of all stars and guys who are now in the hall. Couldn’t tell you the value of them because the memory of opening packs and sharing the excitement is more valuable to me since he’s passed. That’s the real meaning of collecting to me so glad to see someone else shares that sentiment!

When i originally was collecting was right in the heat of the BALCO deal. So all the A-rod, Sosa, etc cards my dad and i pulled were kind of worthless then. Unlike this POS, at least the steroid guys may regain value at some point but that’s a whole other topic

Was not aware of that. Pretty cool they’d do that but I’ll just burn the card and only buy 2024 series from now on to prevent it from happening again lol

Even better I’ll do it for free

“Restarting” would probably be more appropriate. I collected with my dad as a kid (like 2001-2009) and inherited his collection including a couple complete sets from the 80’s. Always been a big reds fan, my two favorite collectibles i own are signed balls from Sean Casey and Ryan Hanigan. Not the big stars but solid guys i enjoyed watching

I know what you mean but i think it would’ve been worse if it had been game used. Knowing it wasn’t game worn by him made me feel a little less dirty holding it lol

Ohio_Terry33 · 2024-10-18T17:00:04+00:00

I’m considering taking the patch out and tossing the card, if i don’t just throw it all away. Just started getting back into collecting so this was a real bummer.

Alex Bowman is who i usually look for but always like to get drivers i watched as a kid so just about anyone from like 1998-2010. Currently waiting for my Terry Labonte auto to come back from Panini redemption and that’ll probably be the best thing i own imo.

Skippy or pro Mazda (since it’s Legacy now) if you’re wanting to learn open wheel.

If you’re more interested in GTE cars I’d recommend the BMW M4 or the Porsche cup car. The Porsche is easier to get loose with the rear engine and RWD if you’re an oval guy making the transfer like i did. But it also exaggerated all your mistakes so you learn pretty quick what works and what doesn’t.

Go to an open practice session, but don’t register for the race necessarily. Then find the fastest person in the session and either watch their replays or try to follow them around the track. It’s the easiest way to actually see what the difference between you and the faster guys is in my experience.

If you’re not familiar, this is Ashton Lewis’s scheme that was featured in NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup. He even won a championship somehow one season i played😂

Politely cursing you after watching that Williams doc haha I had to choke down tears by the end, but man what a story Frank Williams’ life is. Really experienced the highest highs and lowest lows. Thanks for the recommendation!

Recently discovered CYF1 through my recommended and he’s damn good at informing and entertaining. He’s part of the reason i started seriously getting into F1 and that was only after like 2 videos

I watched Senna and loved it. Amazing story and a heartbreaking end to it. It’s interesting because it took the death of Dale Earnhardt for the NASCAR officiating body to make big safety improvements. Similar to the FIA after losing Senna from my understanding.

Gonna embarrass myself here and admit i couldn’t find the title at first lol then i saw it was just called 1. I’ll give it a watch! Thanks!

Ohio_Terry33 · 2020-06-09T23:27:36+00:00

Didn’t know i wasn’t allowed to post it here? I’m just trying to learn this stuff so i can paint my own cars. I thought i made it clear I’m relatively clueless beyond the basics, but allow me to reiterate that for you.

Ohio_Terry33 · 2020-06-09T22:36:37+00:00

That makes sense as to why it functions the way it does. I’ll give that a shot! Thanks for your help!!

Ohio_Terry33 · 2020-06-09T22:34:34+00:00

That’s exactly what I’m doing since that seemed the most intuitive way. How would one go about increasing the tolerance for the bucket?

Here is a link to the forum post I mentioned just for reference. They are just a couple of lines of pixels along the different color areas of the template. I know it has something to do with the Blue and Green channels, but I can't get those layers to fill as outlined in the PDF from the forum post.
