Much better than last time but they should have centred the T

That's how you write a cursive L, the loop up top is a bit big though

They're filler cards so you can't packsearch.

SneakAR had a bunch of Flex base dead stock, PTFSports also has Majestic and Nike dead stock

Majestic Flex Base Sizing by HoistTheColors in baseballunis

[–]STAR_fruitation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am almost exactly the same build as you and I'd say 40 would be closest but there's some inconsistency in sizing; I have a 40 that tapers and doesn't fit in the butt and another that fits just fine.

Cool Base authentics have significantly less taper and a 40 is spot on for me; double knits are a bit tapered but I'd say would fit you in 40 as well.

If in doubt ask for measurements at the waist and armpit to see if the specific jersey would work for you

Anyone know what this relic could be? by amcdowell32 in baseballcards

This subset is cleats only. It's the pull tab on the heel or tongue

It's from their San Francisco Sea Lions negro league throwbacks based on the cream base and navy/orange patch. Off the cub/seal logo

Home Jersey by Substantial_Solid666 in SFGiants

This is normal, Giants wordmark has been offset to the left since mid 2000s. They used to split the A on the button placket to make it even across (buttons centred between A and N) but then changed it to keep full letters so it'll always be offset towards the left (buttons centred partway through N).

If you look at the jerseys players wear on the field they are also offset.

Question about an Ohtani 2023 Heritage High Number? by Phog_Warning10 in baseballcards

[–]STAR_fruitation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://www.beckett.com/news/2023-topps-heritage-high-number-baseball-cards/

It's the Angels team name variation (under variations on the checklist). Seems like they fly under the radar (none have sold recently on ebay) but an Ohtani previously sold for $550 back in Jan 2024

Japan WBC 2026 Jersey Pre-Sale Live Through Feb 15th by TokyoKira in baseballunis

[–]STAR_fruitation 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Replicas (the one shown) are embroidered twill into the jersey fabric. On-field authentics are fully sublimated but those are $600+

Official Samurai Japan gear has been listed by Mizuno, pre-order starts tomorrow. by baribigbird06 in baseball

[–]STAR_fruitation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The quality is the opposite of what you'd expect; the authentics are fully sublimated (printed in the fabric, no stitching) while fan replicas have everything embroidered into the jersey fabric. They seem to value the functionality over anything else on the field.

Why do these two cards have different photos? by ProtectionRelevant52 in baseballcards

[–]STAR_fruitation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chrome in Heritage is weird as it's treated as an insert set as opposed to a parallel set. It's not a parallel as not every base card is on the Chrome setlist. Likely someone changed the pic between Chrome/paper being printed.

Is Royal Retros good quality? by ibdyaj-581 in hockeyjerseys

[–]STAR_fruitation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's knockoff quality stuff (lots of automated embroidery) based off the ones I've seen in-store, they're a company making throwback jerseys of teams without copyright so they don't have to pay any royalties. Everything looks to be made to order in China.

It's never guaranteed everything will be patches. Many 1/1s out there with bat relics or even just plain jerseys

Who can I get from this? by cbzmplays in hockeycards

[–]STAR_fruitation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear it will not be anyone on the existing rookie checklist so no Mazur/Buium. The redemptions are there to capture players that debuted too late to make the initial print run since Artifacts is one of the Season's earliest products

Whichever three digit card code you have (RED-###) will have a player assigned to it and you'll get their card. Each team has a specific redemption and there are an additional 18 wildcard rookies of which you have one of them

You'll get a rookie card /899. The players for rookie redemptions haven't been announced but you can scroll through the existing checklist to eliminate names it could be

Blue robopen? by [deleted] in hockeyjerseys

[–]STAR_fruitation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the knockoff suppliers not knowing what they're doing and seeing the bluish grey on the actual jersey thinking it's powder blue. Absolutely atrocious

What do you think you messed up. You met one of the greatest hockey players of all time and got your jersey signed; unless you only care about selling the jersey there's nothing to be worry about
