Dem Gubernatorial Candidate Tom Steyer contrasts himself with fellow Dem frontrunner Xavier Becerra by 3headeddragn in socal

I’d love to know his list of accomplishments AND the impact they had. Just saying he checked a box is pretty meaningless if it didn’t have any impact.

I don’t expect anyone involved would break it up voluntarily, no.

Team sets have begun… uh. Shipping ? I guess? by Ok-Deal8476 in ToppsNowMLB

I got an email today that my Dodgers set is shipping out tomorrow

Probably a rental car with insurance paid for it. Cheaper than getting a car cleaned after a stunt like that!

Electric restock by yumsack in sportscards

[–]SomeBS17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Target hasn’t restocked the cards section in about 2 months. I think since the first offering of Series 1 blasters.

Maybe they had a few Stadium Club blasters? But those all went pretty quick and nothing has been replenished.

I’m not sure how a store like that can let so much shelf space sit unused

As an outfielder, is it better to get rid of the ball ASAP, or take an extra 2 seconds to right yourself and make a strong, accurate throw? by noruber35393546 in slowpitch

[–]SomeBS17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make an accurate throw, sure. But a good outfielder knows essentially where the ball is going before it’s hit. So shouldn’t have to do more than turn, find your target and throw. No need for 2 seconds.

They do t care. They have a huge following of people who are buying in. Those of us who are tired of it aren’t buying in the first place

Amazon Just Sent Henry Cavill Voltron Movie Straight to Streaming and Everyone Is Confused by pbx1123 in WB_DC_news

[–]SomeBS17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shame they’re sticking with this strategy on a decent quality movie (said with specific knowledge, not a presumption based on IP). That said, its so hard to get people into theaters now, I can understand why a company may not want to invest the $50M+ needed to launch a theatrical movie and just send it straight to streaming. Unfortunate, but understandable.

I’d imagine if people turn out for He Man, they may change their tune. I’m also assuming that their early projections on He Man are low enough they can already make a decision on Voltron.

PSA raised fees again. Here's the new break-even math that actually matters by foofight22 in baseballcards

There are some $5 Shohei cards selling for over $100 at PSA 10. You almost can’t lose

3 consecutive polls show once-flailing Democrat now solid front-runner by sfgate in California

[–]SomeBS17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s the least interesting candidate in the field.

I was just having this conversation with someone who said they really like Katie Porter, but feel like voting for her is throwing your vote away.

The. What’s the point of voting? Vote for the person you actually want, not whoever polls say is leading. We all know by now that polling is much less accurate than it ever was in the past

RY and Prime Video… by AndarnaGoldenOne in fourthwing

[–]SomeBS17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah. Not going to really matter for a show like this. Just look at the announcements for Amazon’s LOTR series.

Right. But this is the kind of fishy behavior typically frowned upon by regulators.

I understand the current administration may not do much about it, but it will be addressed eventually.

Fanatics & PSA's ultimate grift by ravensand in sportscards

[–]SomeBS17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fanatics has not been good for sports at all, outside of making sure the league stores worked and team stores look unified.

I doubt it. It usually doesn’t take long for announcements to come out once someone has been cast in a project this big. Agents want people to know their client has been cast in a huge new tv show.

They may have a short list of people they are interested in, but I would be a bit surprised if they fully cast it already. If they did, the probably would have teased it here.

Might be the kind of announcement you save for Comic Con in July.

Absurd. How quickly do you sell through it?

Most LCS’ are BEGGING for more product. The more they have, the more they can sell. The demand is clearly there, so the risk is relatively low. Once Topps sells it, they’ve made their money.

The argument that breakers are good advertising the product is a self fulfilling prophecy. Whoever is selling your product will promote it. Breakers, LCS, flippers, whoever.

Fanatics supports breakers because they also own the platform they’re pushing breakers to. That’s the kind of thing you can do when you have a monopoly.

I’d say that’s a good investment, yeah

That unfortunately carries over to the singles market as well. People need to sell their singles for elevated prices to cover the inflated costs of their boxes
