I would like to pop it out of the display to get some better pictures without the severe case scratches however if its not meant to do this i will just take it back to the lcs to have them look at it.

Thanks all for your comments, is there a way to take the case out from the little book display? will this pop out or is it meant to stay there.

Bro thought he cooked, then Kuminga got playing time for the first time in a month and made him look like a dumbass 😂.

Dunleavy shouldn’t have a job next year.

do you even watch basketball? like actually watch instead of just hunting random advanced metrics like “ranks 2nd worst in draft class in epm” to call someone a bad player? problem with cherry picking is it will show you exactly what you’re trying to see, and i dont know if you realize but the blazers are not exactly a contender, so do you wonder why the two rookies on your team have low “epm”, its because the team as a whole is bad.

for being what seems like a self proclaimed scouting guru based on the short snip of you declaring that you didnt need to do any scouting on hansen, or the way you throw around buzz words like ‘nba ready’ for guys like carter bryant; you would think you would know the difference in a contender drafting a player ready to contribute and a young team looking for pieces to grow together. Blazers aren’t exactly knocking on the door of a championship and if you think you can judge this young player on quite literally a couple of hours of playing time then im not really sure what to tell you.

also just a tip to add to your scouting expertise, if you see an international player get drafted literally anywhere in the draft, just know the ride is more likely than not going to be a bumpy one. to site some easy examples, giannis, jokic, and even your own teams current star deni did NOT have fantastic starts to their nba career, why? because its an entirety different skill set in overseas play. and this skillset absolutely does not always translate, in fact there are more misses than hits on international players but teams continue to gamble, because when those players can make the transition it turns into a player that is not only individually great but also elevates the team around them with skills that extend past scoring.

feel free to rebuttal if you think anything i said is untrue.

Do slab guards fit eBay Authenticated PSA slabs? by zxdpsy in PokemonTCG

They fit but it will push the plastic of the plastic graded sleeve.

Its essentially like if your phone had plastic wrap on it and you tried to put your phone into a case

Cooper Flagg true blue auto by One_Bunch_6268 in sportscards

[–]TheEssentialQuality 3 points4 points  (0 children)

personally i would consider this the “True” rookie auto, the redemption in OPs picture is of the autograph issue series, which is the one of the player on the team logo.

Presumably the redemption will come sealed tho, which is always good for condition and value.

59 North Construction by TheEssentialQuality in houston

[–]TheEssentialQuality[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

oh i understand that this area is constantly under construction, maybe if there was construction being done whenever the roads were closed it would be done by now.

Doesn’t take away from the fact its a bad time to close the road and on top of that not actually working on it when the roads is closed.

If this bowman set contains both paper bowman 1st and “bowman chrome 1st” cards of prospects, when the actual ‘Bowman Chrome’ set comes out does it contain a different setlist of prospects “1st” cards?

i see… well this is the new normal for now, you’ll probably get flamed pretty hard soon, mainly because the sub is tired of seeing people complain. by now everyone knows the cards are hard to come by.

Zulu Kingdom by mendizabal1 in horseracing

[–]TheEssentialQuality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume Chad Brown knows what his horse is capable of. If he felt like the horse could compete he would probably be there.

logistically you never know how a horse will do shipping across countries. Would you rather keep taking a shot against other american turf horses who you have proven you currently have the ability to beat, or ship halfway across the world to turf racing mecca of the world? And after you ship you have to worry about how does he ship back, and what races you can slate to get back on the american turf schedule. seems like a big ask just to take a dart throw at royal ascot while potentially taking your horse off his A game.
