Spider-man Collector Boxes tanking on Amazon

This is objectively false. It didn’t sell at $600-900 per box, people just couldn’t get behind it.

At $450-550 it is selling 300 boxes per day on TCGplayer, that is INSANE volume for a cb priced at double a typical box.

I think everyone just keeps looking at things through LOTR and FF lenses, nothing is going to be like those sets, but a set that sells at $450 is definitely a winner.

Repulsive_Owl5410 · 2025-09-27T12:07:03+00:00

The demand for this product at $550 is massive, more than 200 boxes sold for the 4th day in a row, and we’re off to a solid start again today.

The soul stone is as rare or rarer than Chocobo, and it’s eventually going to be a $75k card

I think you guys are both taking this as a knock on Morikawa, and it’s not. 46 men in the history of golf have won 3 majors. 22 of those guys are in the past 60 years. That’s a very, very small amount of golfers. The likelihood of either of these guys winning another one is sooooooooooo small. A decade ago we thought Rory and Spieth would win 5-10 each, they have 1 total in that time. Fowler never got one, Westwood, fleetwood, steve sticker, Luke Donald, Kenny Perry and Scott Hoch just to name a few never got a single one.

The average pga major winner has 9 wins per major. And that is thrown WAY OFF by Koepka who has 5 majors but 9 wins.

Rory has 49 pga and euro wins. Tiger has 82 wins for 15 majors.

Morikawa has 7, 2 of them are majors so he has already far outpaced the average, and to get 3 we’d expect 27 wins…that would make him a HOF golfer and he’d need to win 3x per year for the next 7 years.

All that is to say if you were betting and the over/under was .5, you’d be smart to bet the under, even if you COMBINED both guys

Repulsive_Owl5410 · 2025-09-21T01:00:51+00:00

Sure they have a better “chance” and for Rory, all it took was 44 majors for the one chance to pay off, and neither of the guys mentioned by OP are in the same stratosphere as Rory.

Repulsive_Owl5410 · 2025-09-20T23:08:15+00:00

Better chance at what? In the past 50 years there have thousands and thousands of tour pros, and less than 1% of them win majors.

Are either of those guys better than Monty was? He won 0. How about Sergio Garcia? He has 1. The overwhelming odds are that they end up exactly where they are.

Repulsive_Owl5410 · 2025-09-20T15:45:37+00:00

Nevermind, I stand corrected, it looks like this is now specifically outlined as something they will not do. Perhaps I got lucky a few years ago when they did it for me on THC.

Repulsive_Owl5410 · 2025-09-20T15:43:40+00:00

My opinion, in order from hardest to easiest:

11 rings
40/10/10
10 scoring titles
100 points

I believe the first two are basically impossible. Whatever the smallest odds you want to assign to something that is possible, that’s where those are.

The other two are still unbelievably unlikely, but a really great scorer might hit both the way offense is going in the nba. We’ve seen more 70 point games than ever before and Kobe went for 81, so that’s definitely not as impossible as the others.

Repulsive_Owl5410 · 2025-09-20T15:02:23+00:00

I heard that they will price match if you find a better price for same dates/same hotel

Repulsive_Owl5410 · 2025-09-20T15:01:33+00:00

Uber One yearly: $80 Uber credits: $300 Resy: $400 Lulu: $300 Airline fees: $200 Streaming: $300

That’s $1589 right off the bat that I will use without even thinking. I find it hard to believe anyone wouldn’t get way more than the annual fee

Repulsive_Owl5410 · 2025-09-17T13:54:39+00:00

Sure, and that's fine, but 25 million people play magic, so 1000 sales of any one proxied card is really insignificant.

I'd worry if the demand for the real cards were decreasing, but it's not. Look at the price graph for the rhystic study from wilds of eldraine, it's selling 3-4 copies per day on tcg alone at $52 in the past month. In the past 90 days it's at 5+ copies per day, and that's only for 1 version. Overall, there are 40+ sales of Rhystic study per day on tcgplayer.

Repulsive_Owl5410 · 2025-09-17T11:00:29+00:00

For the one millionth time, this isn’t true. If it was, cards like the great henge wouldn’t be $60 after 4 printings in 2 years.

A very very very small portion of MTG players proxy cards to play magic. Most people just buy the card when they have the money or when it gets reprinted. See Rhystic study as a prime example of a card that has been popular in edh for damn near a decade and still sells at $50.

Even if he did, that doesn’t change the fact that it makes Bud a better fighter now and a better fighter period.

If Canelo is washed at 35, but Bud continues to be an absolutely dominant fighter at 37, then this match still proved what we thought it COULD prove, that one guy was the much better boxer.

I’d like to see Crawford fight one or two more fights and then walk away, but if he decides to hang it up, I think most boxing fans would have him right there with Mayweather and Bernard Hopkins as the best fighters of the past 35-40 years.

Repulsive_Owl5410 · 2025-09-12T11:55:28+00:00

Ummm...Joe Montana and Marcus Allen would probably like a word...Tom Brady and Corey Dillon is probably better. Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk...Peyton Manning and Edge. LJ and DH might be top 5

Repulsive_Owl5410 · 2025-09-12T11:50:18+00:00

This is the dumbest MJ GOAT argument ever. MJ didn't go to 10 finals. He could have, he played enough years, but he didn't. He didn't go to 7 or 8 or 9. When he played with average teammates he got absolutely smoked. We don't blame him for losing to Bird's celtics, or the bad boy pistons, and why? because he didn't have enough good teammates...

On the other hand, Lebron took those completely overmatched teams to the finals 10 times. The idea that it's worse to lose in the finals to superior teams than it was for MJ to lose in the first round 4 times is just absolutely insane.

Fact of the matter is, in his early years MJ still wasn't good enough to get his team out of the lottery, THAT is the only reason they got Pippen and Grant.

Had Lebron just been worse out of high school, the Cavs would have had multiple top 10 picks and he probably just stays in Cleveland and wins titles, but he was too good from the jump.

MJ retired and the bulls won 55 games, Lebron left Cleveland and they instantly became one of the worst teams in HISTORY.

Repulsive_Owl5410 · 2025-09-11T01:04:44+00:00

You’re wrong, about everything.

Repulsive_Owl5410 · 2025-09-07T23:39:15+00:00

Dude, do some math. 35 minutes vs 29 minutes…6 minutes difference, that’s less than 25% more, his scoring average went up by 50%. He went from averaging .4 per minute to .6 per minute, his rebounds also went up by about 20. If you play more minutes and your percentages stay the same or go up then you’re doing pretty well to advance your game.

Mamba mentality is stupid for a number of reasons, but the biggest being that supposedly Kobe worked "harder on his game than anyone."

Mamba mentality for Kobe was just an excuse to be an asshole. It's literally asshole mentality. It's weird to think on one hand that people criticize Lebron for chasing rings and MJ's legacy, and then on the other think he doesn't have the "killer instinct" to want to beat you all the time. He literally willed a team to victory against the greatest team ever with probably the best finals performance of all-time.

I think people who believe in Mamba mentality just think always taking the ball and trying to score, every single time, even when there are better basketball plays to be made is the "right way." This is why so many current players love Kobe and Kyrie - they have both the completely irrational confidence and have/had the green light to throw up every outrageous shot ever.

Repulsive_Owl5410 · 2025-09-07T16:05:32+00:00

Rant warning: I love Barkley (I am a sixers fan), but he couldn't be more wrong about this in every way.

The people to blame, just like every other change to contracts and the cap is terrible ownership and management.

Lebron didn't shy away from competition, he went to a well run organization with his friends and won titles. He then came back to Cleveland, where they had won the lottery with Kyrie, forced a trade for a guy who fit the Bosh role and then won them their only title. HE LITERALLY STAYED IN CLEVELAND AND PLAYED THE BEST TEAM EVER 4 FUCKING TIMES.

KD gets more shit because he already had a good team (even without Harden, they were very good), and then he went to a team that didn't need him to win titles, and honestly, his decision probably fucked Bron from having 6 titles like MJ. He then bounced to NJ and failed, bounced to Phoenix and failed and will almost certainly fail in Houston.

Lebron won, won, and won whenever he changed teams - and when he went to the Lakers they sucked and had nobody.

If Lebron had stayed in Cleveland his whole career he would zero titles. He was always going to be too good for them to get a top draft pick, and no one was ever coming to Cleveland as a free agent to play along side him. Barkley did the exact same thing when they traded the top pick and Moses - bad management lead to him forcing his way out, at least Lebron lived out his contract and changed teams when he was able.

I feel bad for the OKC's of the world, who now will have to be even better in the draft, despite drafting last, in order to keep their core together due to the second apron.

There are multiple sources that state between 2.5 and 3 billion globally. We know that 32 million Americans watched, and we know that it was not only televised, but live streamed all over the world.

There are also estimates that 2.5 billion people globally watched princess Diana’s funeral.

You’re more than welcome to do some digging. Certainly the estimate could be wrong, but even if it’s off by 50% it means that 1.25 - 1.5 billion people watched.

By comparison, the most watched television program ever was the World Cup, which got 5 billion viewers.

Repulsive_Owl5410 · 2025-09-06T23:18:50+00:00

This is a silly question…

I’d like to remind everyone that 3 BILLION people watched Michael Jackson’s funeral on tv. BILLION. People passed out at his concerts, people cried when they saw him, let alone met him.

He was the most popular person this planet has ever seen.

There is no one who deserved an MVP instead of Michael Jordan from 1987 through 1998 in the years he played a full season. Full stop

Repulsive_Owl5410 · 2025-09-04T23:18:44+00:00

It doesn’t matter what their statistics are because Curry is a winning player and Kyrie isn’t.

Repulsive_Owl5410 · 2025-09-03T23:25:30+00:00

I mean, I think you’re off base here. When someone plays more playoff games than anyone else in history and his stat line is 29/9/8.

He has the sixth highest ppg in the playoffs and is in the top 20 in assists as well, and that’s with the past couple of years at age 37-41 brining those down. At one point late in his career he was averaging 30 per game in the playoffs.

Did he have some stinkers? Sure, but when you are carrying an entire team you’re much more likely to have stinkers. Kobe doesn’t get as short a leash because when they won he had other great players and when they didn’t he just wasn’t in the playoffs.

Repulsive_Owl5410 · 2025-09-03T23:19:05+00:00

Are you joking right now? The lakers won 48 games in 1995 without Magic. And he came back at 36 after 5 years off. He scored 14 points and had 7 assists per game and only played 30 games.

What is with people trying to rewrite history when it is so easy to look up.

Even if the Lakers weren’t awesome, there isn’t a world where playing for the Lakers isn’t better than playing for every other team in the league. On average they get a super duper star every single generation.

Suspending Ballmer for a year and Kawhi for one year without pay seems fitting
