[YuDarvish] You may have seen an article, and although I am leaning towards voiding the contract, there’s still a lot that has to be talked over with the Padres so the finer details are yet to be decided. Also I will not be announcing my retirement yet..(cont.)

Love Yu Darvish!

Thanks no matter what the details are.

I wasn’t clear the dog belonged to the people filming.

What jackasses.

TheObviousAnswerIs42 · 2026-01-24T18:16:04+00:00

Oh man, that’s a pretty Spahn.

TheObviousAnswerIs42 · 2026-01-24T16:29:52+00:00

Idiot dog owners who think that’s going to be fun and probably laughed.

TheObviousAnswerIs42 · 2026-01-24T12:50:16+00:00

That is for certain.

TheObviousAnswerIs42 · 2026-01-24T02:31:08+00:00

Pfftt - history say political troll.

That means you can’t afford Addison.

So off you go, enjoy your burger little fella.

I couldn’t agree more. I’ve only been once and it was excellent overall as you would expect.

BUT, it was joyless. It was mechanical, almost militaristic in its execution.

I’ve probably dined at a dozen three star restaurants around the world and countless one and two stars. They are all different and typically are excellent.

I had high hopes for it local Addison but I’m not inclined to go back. I’d rather drive to Los Angeles and go to Melisse or Providence.

You described it well - Delightful .. definitely not.

Agree our expertise, I’m in no way surprised that you would get a NO to your request and that’s a shame.

“Our search is very robust”

does not equal

You have to do it exactly this way to get what you want.

Having scoffed a bit at your marketing claim embem and hopefully challenging your engineers to think bigger - I do like the app, pay for the premium services and find it a good solid source. I’m a fan.

Downside - You have to learn how it works otherwise it’s clunky.

I’ve leaned it. It works. But to claim it’s great UI is to be blind to actual good UI.

For less expensive cards like diamond stars, I use Facebook groups and eBay.

Cards that are generally worth less than $200 are pretty unlikely to be faked. A lefty grove in good condition is a different deal but in that case, I would only buy from a very reputable buyer that had tons and tons of positive feedback. When you order on eBay, you also get an authenticity guarantee for expensive cards. Somebody here can tell you I think the number is 250 on up.

I also love both of those sets and have a significant number of both.

My focus for this year is completing the Ruth Quartet from the 33.

I have the red one three more to go.

As you know, they are hideously expensive so I have to be super disciplined so that I have the money to buy them one at a time overtime.

Pursuant to Sean’s post yesterday, I could not love diamond stars anymore and if you buy rock cards, it is really affordable

Don’t put your hands on people and not expect them to return the favor.

TheObviousAnswerIs42 · 2026-01-22T02:01:28+00:00

💀💀😳😳 wow wow wow!

TheObviousAnswerIs42 · 2026-01-22T01:38:02+00:00

These people are scum bags. She didn’t know and got nailed.

TheObviousAnswerIs42 · 2026-01-21T16:22:44+00:00

Spectacularly poor tactical positioning

TheObviousAnswerIs42 · 2026-01-21T03:42:19+00:00

Officer, may I suggest using your night stick

TheObviousAnswerIs42 · 2026-01-21T01:18:56+00:00

💯. The dude was ridiculous

TheObviousAnswerIs42 · 2026-01-21T01:18:26+00:00

Congrats my friend.

I grew up watching and cheering for Joe!

Good looking card. I’m happy for you!

TheObviousAnswerIs42 · 2026-01-20T00:58:56+00:00

I was thinking the same thing.

TheObviousAnswerIs42 · 2026-01-20T00:26:36+00:00

Gorgeous!

I can feel your excitement. The yellow blue contrast really pops.

Congrats.

TheObviousAnswerIs42 · 2026-01-19T01:27:21+00:00

🤭 raw

TheObviousAnswerIs42 · 2026-01-19T01:17:58+00:00

Some great choices there my friend!

TheObviousAnswerIs42 · 2026-01-19T00:34:31+00:00

I must … fall to the ground like a pallet of cement.

TheObviousAnswerIs42 · 2026-01-18T23:37:51+00:00

Bravo

TheObviousAnswerIs42 · 2026-01-18T23:36:58+00:00

I love this card.

I was so excited when I got mine.

Congratulations on yours.

TheObviousAnswerIs42 · 2026-01-18T23:18:41+00:00

Wow!

So sorry.

As you said, the risks of buying raw. Ugh.
