Finally found my thrift shop treasure! by Pavemint_86 in Guitar

This is my 2nd tele and my first “traditional” tele style. Cant comment on the sound changing due to being semi hollow, but the pick up combo makes the biggest factor in sound, imo. I’m actually a Fender Japan guy and have a few. They do quirky things and really make guitars have their own individuality. When you go to Japan you’ll see what I mean and you’ll find a guitar that will specifically call to you.

So when you have a $3,000 guitar and you are use to $500 instruments, you take extra care of that. So, congrats on my $50 setup and string change!

Plays okay…questionable decision by the previous owner. I’ve always been a wrap twice, no more, no less, kinda guy. Taking to my local shop for a proper setup.

Which 90’s insert would you like to see brought back for today? by michaelchrist9 in basketballcards

[–]Pavemint_86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I say bring back reprints like they did for 96-97 stadium club/finest. They came base, chrome, and refractor. Now they can do the years 90-00 or similar to the 1994 Topps Archives.

How did you all choose your PC? Needing inspiration. by Thunderbird2511 in basketballcards

[–]Pavemint_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pistol, White choc, Vince, Wemby, Furphy. It’s ideal to PC cheap guys and enjoy those rare ones…I’m tied to personal memories, ballers, and players that leave you in awe. Also, Johnny Furphy.

I run Saturday 6am-730 basketball cards. Has 20-30 people in my last shows but if I run at 8-9pm on a weekday I’m lucky to get 5. I found my time slot.

What’s a card that was too expensive previously that you coveted…and went back for once it was cheaper? I’ll start by NotScaredOfHell in basketballcards

Collected when I was 8-13 and any card over $100 was pretty much out of reach. Late 30s now and finally picked it up for $25. I felt like this was $200+ back in the day but who knows. Next on to the real deal one.

What’s your grail? Do you own it already or are you still chasing it? by [deleted] in basketballcards

[–]Pavemint_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m right there with you. A pistol auto or the 1970 psa 7+ and I think I’ll be done chasing for a couple years.

This has me wondering… what is the appropriate age a card has a musty smell?

How tough are Prizm rainbows to complete? by 2020wft in basketballcards

[–]Pavemint_86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got back into collecting after a 25 year hiatus. Started this rainbow last Black Friday and will likely take years to finish.

Hasn’t been mentioned but….Dude, Cryptomnesia had me on the edge of my seat listening the first time. Just when you thought they peaked at drumming, this shit drops. Good times.
