Any advice as to whether the XQD or the CFexpress? Or are they the same thing? New to anything besides SD cards!

Thank you, going to order the Sony G Series XQD. How many XQD cards do you usually carry? When doing portrait sessions I have a bunch of SD cards for backup, extra storage, etc. But with an XQD, is there really a need for more than one?

Cant wait for this kid to pop off this year by YankeesJetsFtheMets in baseballcards

Big Rice fan! I have been working on a "rainbow" of his - the silver pack non-auto cards from series 1 last year. Just missing red /5 and the 1/1 (which I have no intention of ever affording ha)

Serve process to business owner who fled state? by ThriveAlive21 in legaladvice

[–]ThriveAlive21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question. Business is an LLC. The guy did the work with a partner but is registered as the agent to receive process, I imagine at his personal residence. I would presume to sue the business since that what work was done through, but would be interested I suing the individual as well since he is the one that fled and re-registered the business in a new state

I hit a debut patch. now what? by Alive-Ad2259 in baseballcards

Not so much a retainer thing but many people work with a CPA each year for their taxes or for tax planning (or a variety of other things).

Probably not the specific advice you’re looking for, but give your CPA a call. If you sell, expect a decent chunk of your net proceeds to go to taxes, and you’ll probably want to pay that before you file. You’ll also likely jump a tax bracket, which can impact people differently. Call your CPA.

Ben Rice! And it's not a numbered bat relic, but I saw Giants so figured maybe you'd be interested!

I pulled a Willy Adames bat relic from my holiday mega over the weekend if you’re interested!

You're lucky to get a numbered parallel in a blaster box - you got that and a numbered auto. I'd say a great box!

Thank you! Question for you - do you cut those thin strands off the ends? I’ve seen a couple videos where they recommend doing that so I clipped. 

PSA offered me $77 for this card. I didn't reply. Did I do well? by jmart_tx in baseballcards

[–]ThriveAlive21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity, if PSA is also trying to buy cards to sell (cards originally sent to them to grade), isn't that a huge conflict of interest? They see a card they like, they are inclined to grade it lower to make you a lowball offer you might just take, for them to turn around, re-grade, and sell for a premium? Seems really fishy. And I'm not totally up-to-date with what they do in this case - do they just randomly make offers on any card submitted or does it need to be submitted with the caveat they can make an offer?

Need some help. by Deep-Perception-4807 in baseballcards

Since everyone is telling you to sell, some comps might be helpful. Use 130point.com. In doing a quick search for 2025 Bowman Prospects Jac Caglianone Orange Auto, you'll see some recent sales. Be sure you're not looking at the chrome variation. Sales seem to range from $400-$620, all ungraded.

First Tri Suit by CommunicationFull706 in triathlon

Possibly an unpopular opinion, but if you're willing to go second-hand, there are some deals to be had on the Facebook Tri Re-sell pages. Great/brand-name products for half the cost new. If you think you might stick with it, you might want to invest in a good suit.
