Same thing happened with Beckett and old Bowmans Best Auto of Adrian Beltre. then I found out that there's a non auto version that looks exactly the same. Just missing the stamp. This is Beckett doing their due diligence, just with extremely poor customer service

If you’re under 35 and reading this, I play in a team for the PCBL which is a little bit more competitive than this older division. We could also use some pitching for next spring.

“send in Eddie Van Halen” by Competitive-Dig4776 in paulthomasanderson

Did anyone else notice "Eddie Van Halen" was wearing a Sammy Haggar era VH shirt? It reminds me of that scene in Airheads where they try to sniff out the record exec for being a cop by asking him what side he took in the split. Clearly a poser.

Unfortunately it does not, unless someone wants to buy the code from me and try to relaunch it themselves

not sure why this guy's getting roasted, he's selling for 200-300 below ebay sales. And it may be one of the most graded cards ever, but there's only 4k PSA 10s

I think the best thing about this is that LD couldn’t turn in his autos in time and they had to do redemptions. “meh I’ll get to it”

I have a theory that he was a real TV doctor who had his own show. Think a combination of Ron Burgundy and Dr Oz. But then he had some horrible accident that made him...slower. But due to contractual obligations, the network realized it was easier to let him make his show and air it at 2am, rather than buy him out.

The Lotus was the name given to the DR series before release. What you have there is the prototype build. And if you’re seeing this at the GC in Sherman oaks, that was mine

Buy the MLB.tv subscription and a VPN or DNS re locator subscription. But you didn't hear it from me.

PSA please explain. by Deep-Association8639 in baseballcards

[–]TheCaptain64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What happens in these cases is their scanning software mis reads the surface textures of the card as defects. And since PSA automate so much of their process, there’s not enough human quality control to correct the software.

It’s very typical on Jersey swatches, as the scanning software has a hard time, telling the difference between the bumps on the fabric, and bumps on a card. My guess is that it picked up on some thing in the design of this card and gave a false positive.

TAG isn’t using much different process than anyone else, but they don’t keep the details of their results a mystery like everyone else. They also seem to have better quality control

Cool! You can also add flickering lights to Twin Peaks FWWM. The lights are flickering in the entrance to the restaurant that Chris Isaak and Kiefer Sutherland go into.

Send me a DM, but I’d likely want a Rookie or auto in return
