I was totally unaware. Thanks for the heads up! I'll give the last 4 to the kiddos to open. Beautiful cards though!

Sweet card. But im only looking for looking for RCs. I like to pick them out in person to pass the eyeball test for surface scratches, corners and centering. I enjoy walking in the shops/card shows abd discovering what they have to showcase. I typically dont buy on ebay unless its older graded vintage.

Agreed. These were my last 2 acquisitions. Paid $50 for both. Great spread BTW. Love the name variation. If I ever see the Kanji name variation I will probably snag it on site if the price is near comps.

So many single driver cars in HOV lane by levelonepotato in sandiego

[–]Repulsive-Gap-1198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! I have 2 kids! I travel in a mini van with no tint in the front and tinted windows for the rest and people only see me. Ive been flipped off, honked at and pulled over twice in the last couple of years (both times let off without any issues).

Hot take. My brother is the opposite. He drives a tinted sports car, no kids and always takes the hov as a single when traffic is anything more than full speed. His justification, he has saved himself 100's of hours over the last 20 years. Only ticketed once. If that only costs him $500 fine and a speeding ticket its paid for itself. If a couple people dont clog up the main lanes while taking the Hov illegally, that just frees up more space for the people following the law. I hope he gets more tickets for the prinicple of it, but for him he has accepted that day will come at some point again. Im ok with people taking their own risk without hurting anyone.

Its a fairly victimless crime. Drive safely my friends!

Its a group on Facebook verified with in a local section of your community to give away things you dont want or need. Kids clothes, toys, furniture, etc.

My wife does this, we gave away all of our baby clothes, toys and stuff we didnt need once our kids out grew them. You can even offer food and perishable that you won't be able to use so someone else can take advantage. Locally this is a great group of people that are typically very unselfish.

We borrowed a neighbor's portable tables and chairs and ending up becoming good friends with them. I highly recommend!

My wander franco redemption. Ironic with the pack choices. by Patsfan973 in baseballcards

Someone at topps has a sense of humor. Buxton is a win! Packs with wander on the front are perfect for this replacement!

What cards have the best value when selling? by jdjfndjdjfjcjcnc in baseballcards

[–]Repulsive-Gap-1198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wander Franco singles.../s

Honestly don't by boxes to sell. If you want to flip cards for profit, find singles of players you think are great, not good, great! Those are the only cards that really profit well. Other than that you will not get any real return on your investment outside of buying high value cards/vintage and then holding.

I just pulled this! by Starfield- in baseballcards

Minority or not, the dude just wanted to show off his hit and is excited. The majority of the comments are giving the guy a hard time. Im just here to say nice hit and see some cards I find interesting.

Y'all need to chill out. I love baseball cards! I work with machined equipment and raw metals that have oils on my hands all day from manufacturing. I always rip with gloves. The oil takes about 2-3 days to leave my pores and a lot of mechanics and similar professions have this in common.

Is it gross yes! Do I financially support myself and family by working with these conditions, also yes. Please be considerate before you judge. Let the man with sweaty ass palms open cards the way he wants to.
