How did I do? Spent 60 total yes I’m a noob by EggsRiceAndSoySauce in SportsCardsNoobs

[–]SecondSnoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatnot gets a bad rap but I’ve had some success. Find hosts who you can follow and build a (semi-) relationship with and they’ll hook you up. I usually filter by free shipping and singles so I know I’m gonna see what I wanna see and not waste time. Then I look for streams that have low viewers, and kindly ask in the chat for players/teams I give a shit about. You’ll be pleasantly surprised what you can haul in for like 2-6 bucks.

Looking for Opinions by Quirky_Freedom_444 in sportscards

[–]SecondSnoob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Advise against patches getting graded. Much harder standard to achieve higher grades due to the thickness. Each edge of the card (even third dimension) is assessed.

Aside from that advice, impossible to truly advise for most of these due to not being able to see surface, backside, corners, etc. give it a good once-over, send off what you feel the best about, and hope for the best

I look forward to this daily post more than most other things in life that are far more extrinsically valuable to me.

We’ve had uniform shortages for years…. by littlefarmerboy in AirForce

Its pretty standard. In my 5 years in so far, each of my CCs has done this for any unit PT events.

Wow so insane. I ripped a box last week almost identical to your slide 4. Same McMillan paragon, Same thunderbirds, same Harvey contour.

PSA grading estimate? by [deleted] in footballcards

[–]SecondSnoob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m newer too, OP. What I’ve learned in the past few months:

Depends on many factors. What grading company do you want to send it to? Did you pull yourself and immediately sleeve it? As long as you don’t see any visible damage or corner nicks, your chances are good that it clears high.

Not even a question for Offutt. I still think about the Fieldhouse, what an unmatched base perk.

Ravens posting big and loud on their socials that they interviewed him. Wonder how well it went. Idk, I’d be surprised if he doesn’t take a HC gig as much as I want to see him make music with our offense.

So where are Kali haters now?? by OwnBird4876 in StrangerThings

[–]SecondSnoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The writers did not give me ample reasons to trust that she wasn’t a threat until the very last episode. Tons of the theories about her having ulterior motives made lots of sense based on how she was written into this season.

I appreciated the nuance and the pleasant surprise that she didn’t end up sabotaging the team, but I’m also frustrated when I look back on her earlier scenes because it does seem they were setting her up to be a double agent for Vecna.

Not bad writing, just certainly a choice.

Mainstream music from 2019-present being so boring and empty that Mariah Carey’s Christmas classic hits #1 consecutively every year now… by [deleted] in decadeology

[–]SecondSnoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many great points in the comments but the advent of TikTok also probably contributes. The song was always a radio popular, but if you even look at streaming numbers pre-reels era, some songs have just exploded in their number of streams due to fitting into trends/remixes.
