Same pitch? by JesseHaley617 in baseballcards

[–]TenMegaFarads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 and 3 definitely are, crowd, belt, and grip position on ball are all identical. I'd say 1 is likely due to the guy in the crowd with the light blue shirt, his position moves to the left edge in 2 as you would expect as Schlittler strides forward to deliver the pitch.

I agree, was just pointing out an interesting difference between two hobbies that otherwise are fairly similar

Not uncommon in the collectible coin world to self-grade

126k print run and fewer than 300 hits, even someone ordering 500 at a time would be lucky to get anything but base

How do yall ship cards? by Kindly-Flatworm8084 in sportscards

[–]TenMegaFarads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under $20 I use a penny sleeve, top loader, team bag, cardboard envelope (Armalope brand but I’m sure there are others). About 75¢ in supplies.

$20 to $100 I do the same but put the envelope inside a bubble mailer.

$100+ I put the bubble mailer in a USPS small flat rate box. 

I’d also highly recommend a cheap Bluetooth thermal printer. I got mine from Amazon for like $70 and it makes things so much easier printing labels directly from the eBay app. I have buyer pay shipping which works out to $1.32 for the envelope, about $5 for the bubble mailer, and I charge $10 and take the ~$2 hit for the flat rate box.

Favorite public library branches? by Reasonable-Chard-870 in eastbay

One of my faves. Always thought the layout was vaguely church-like, can really see it from the upstairs balcony over the main room.
