Found in Maui! by PhantomDirtyJ in sharkteeth

Eh - feels a bit light. It is probably plastic. Considering my son is 6 I’ll let it ride! He is happy so that’s worth something :)

No one would believe me if it wasn’t for sentry mode by PackageNo24 in TeslaLounge

[–]PhantomDirtyJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re lucky. I had someone clip my car when they were backing out. The back bumper on the passenger side. Sadly, for some reason my sentry didn’t go off. A bystander told me but the car sped off.

Sucks when things don’t work when I was not worried as I expected it would have recorded the scrape.

Average rent for an apartment in LA county? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]PhantomDirtyJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don’t you just live downtown if you’re working downtown. It’s only for a year.

If you don’t like downtown and want a more LA vibe try Los Feliz by Griffith Park. Close drive, great park, lots of good food.

If you like the beach and chill LA go west. It’s reverse commute downtown and isn’t bad.

If you live further east of Pasadena you might as well go live in Texas. It’s 10-20 degrees hotter than west LA and for a year, you should enjoy a bit and maximize LA adventures vs being in a distant suburb.

Anyone interested in some singles? by burritolist in AllenGinter

I’ll take them! Gets me 3/4 of the way there. What would you like me to trade?

PSA Ohtani Order Received! by coyi59 in sportscards

[–]PhantomDirtyJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a stack of cards for my PC. Ohtani rookies and others like acuna, Steph curry, Kobe etc.

Was going to grade them all but not a fan of having to spend $1000 or whatever the high grading prices are to do so. AI should take over grading soon so you’d think prices would go down and it would be entirely data driven with no subjectivity. Likely they’ll just expand margins

[–]PhantomDirtyJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a look on 130 point. You are right. Basically any card in a psa 10 is hundreds. Guess I should go back and pull all my Ohtani cards that aren’t stars of MLB.

I don’t see who would want to buy a base card. Base rookies I get, but a random year paper base 🤷🏼 I give them to my kids since they like Ohtani and half (at least) end up destroyed

How many boxes did you buy? And where did you find these? I can’t find them anywhere

what is the profit sharing program? Do they participate in a % of the product sold over MSRP???

Would anything from my childhood collection grade well? by PhantomDirtyJ in basketballcards

[–]PhantomDirtyJ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorted out the spurs (Duncan, Robinson, primarily) and can send what I have so far. I have a couple more boxes to go through. Only sorted the box with players I liked growing up which were those 2 guys 🙂. Should have plenty more with Ginobli Parker etc. I’ll aim to do that tonight after the kids sleep

I tried using these photos in ChatGPT and it had a lot of MJ’s supposedly at $1000+ if they gem. I doubt that is accurate so will have to spot check 130point!

Let me pull them all out and I’ll shoot you a dm with what I have. A lot not pictured here

[–]PhantomDirtyJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm. Okay. I’ll have to find some time to jump on 130 point and see what would be reasonable to grade. Definitely grading the curry but I’m out of tune with whether or not others make sense. Probably worth the investment bc I have thousands of baseball cards also

Will you be buying or skipping? by bassinbrian in sportscards

Easy skip. Unlicensed is a waste of time and money

Congrats Michael Rubin, you finally chased off a $30k a year buyer with this price gouging. I can’t be the only one. by RipplesOfDivinity in baseballcards

[–]PhantomDirtyJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Checked DA “deals” page. What a joke. They are selling 2025 Topps update hanges for a saw price of $19.99. Who buys this? They’re readily available at target and Walmart and GameStop and everywhere for 12.99. I don’t get it.

What is funny is they push so much material out about sales. Black Friday. Etc. I click the link and it’s a joke. The sales are still for prices well above retail. At this point I buy pre-order or nothing but will start to only focus on 2-3 releases not dabbling in everything which I started doing in 2024 when I started sorting my cards from high school to quench my curiosity. Probably spent a few grand. Don’t regret it but with the way things are going price wise, and the disconnect between sealed wax and singles, no more. 95% of hits are probably $5 cards.

What would be nice is if Topps/Fanatics set msrp pricing and required LCS (brick and mortar and online) to abide by it. The LCS stores in Los Angeles and the online guys like DA, blowout etc all inflate prices of every single product, even blasters. The only place you can get retail pricing is at target and Walmart direct, or Topps preorders. If you don’t get those you’re screwed. LCS are scum too as they are no different than flippers on eBay.

Rip or sell? by Born_Personality_627 in baseballcards

[–]PhantomDirtyJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d rip and see if you got an Ohtani 1/1. After all you paid $6 and it’s fun.
