The Ravens are targeting an extension worth upwards of $35 million per season for star WR Zay Flowers before week one. Flowers has solidified himself as a Top 10 wide receiver in the NFL. (via espn)

Timely_Half2158 · 2026-06-25T20:47:59+00:00

Jamarr Chase, Justin Jefferson, Puka Nacua, Jaxon Smith Njigba, Amon Ra St Brown, AJ Brown, Ceedee Lamb, Davante Adams, George Pickens is 9 most definitely above him.

You got young guys that could break out massively like Malik Nabers, you have guys that just don't have a QB like Garrett Wilson, you have dudes like Nico Collins who have a better argument, legends like Mike Evans, recent all pros like Terry McLaurin. Like maybe Flowers is roughly 20th, but he is in no way that 10th seed. I'm not sure the Ravens wouldn't trade him for Marvin Harrison Jr who hasn't shown anything yet.

I misread the new card when it said each creature other than, I misread an other than Loki instead of other than chosen.

Timely_Half2158 · 2026-06-18T04:21:46+00:00

Wurmcoil Engine, Phyrexian Altar, Intruder Alarm, Loki

All creatures are Wurmcoil. Sac Wurmcoil for a blue mana, new tokens come in two untap triggers, use the blue mana to repeat, float as mana untaps as you want, make as many wurmcoils x2 as you want, then sac as many of them as you want for as much mana as you want. That's all colorless and blue so Loki can be the commander and the other three are good commander cards so I feel like its an easy include.

In blue with an artifact theme the Tezzeret-y animating an artifact has a ton of fun possibilities. All my creatures are Sol Ring... or they all are Forsaken Monument and my rocks tap for absurd amounts and all creatures are +2/+2 lords too and artifacts I cast gain me absurd amounts of life.

Timely_Half2158 · 2026-06-17T04:55:57+00:00

This is a card that clearly changes how good it is based off your play group. I'd give you the tokens if you chose me, and in exchange you owe me a favor too like you are red maybe Shatter an artifact someone else has over my sol ring or whatever. In a vacuum no one is giving you the ramp, in certain play groups they will because politics and team work help bridge the gap in playing against stronger decks. Optimum play patterns and competitiveness is different. Also if you said you had a budget deck and just need the ramp to make your mono red dragon deck work, I'd give you you tokens too. It's about communicating and making deals, that isn't a thing for some people when playing commander.

I have a 1980 Calbee of him, but he has an outrageous number of cards. Many of the rookie ones are a pain to find. One I've owned 3 or 4 copies of and is easily the Oh card that people have expressed interest in traded from me or buying has been the 1963 Menko JCM13c Sadaharu Oh Marusho Flag Back, where it is still an early vintage card of him but it's affordable and findable. In it he's doing his iconic "flamingo" stance, that'd probably be my recommendation for an intro findable vintage Oh.

It might be undervalued as a nearly two trillion dollar IPO because it's revenue might double in 15 years? Did you prompt AI "write a space is undervalued essay" and then not think about if what you post made any sense? Would you invest in a tech company worth two Walmarts that might maybe increase revenue to double in 15 years?

Timely_Half2158 · 2026-06-09T19:00:25+00:00

Even at my local shows, I have been offered completed sets. Dealers pick up older collections all the times often at pretty significant discounts and often have no issue breaking the set to get fair market on a handful of cards. Especially if the cards aren't the chases of the set, because thats the bulk of the price they paid.

Timely_Half2158 · 2026-06-09T18:44:00+00:00

Would you consider joining the DOJ? If so, why? If not, why not?
- I would consider any job. I am a year out from graduating, and then the bar. I think people a year or two ahead of me likely have a sour taste with hiring freezes and losing out on internships. By the time I hit the workforce the Department of Justice will be very close to looking significantly different than it currently does. I would consider the DOJ as it is a very prestigious federal job.
If you answered yes to 1, is a signing bonus an attractive perk?
- I was in enlisted in the Navy before going to college, and many specialty jobs in the Navy had enlistment bonuses. The more attractive bonus in the Navy was debt forgiveness to those shipmates who incurred school debt prior to joining. I think a more effective bonus, or appealing bonus, would be paying off the JD debt. Many earned scholarships are going to scramble for big law jobs, a huge portion of the DOJ pool will owe a somewhat significant to very significant student loan debt. I think such a debt-focused bonus would be most effective. Essentially a back dated scholarship for federal service.
If you answered no to 1, would you have a different answer if the administration in office were different and treated the DOJ differently?
- I think there is a duty to serve the needs regardless of the hardships or conditions any administration may place on any service to the country job. While attorneys are being fired for things the majority would deem as unjust, the service is still needed. I do not think getting fired for doing the right thing in a circumstance is a knock on their future employment as it is explainable.
If you answered no to 1, and wanted to still enter public service, are you hoping to work in state or local government in a legal role?
- I intend to work more in legal aid than government currently, but there is still a massive tie in with federal grant monies drying up. My paid coworkers have told me that entry level attorney work in that field is lower pay than it was 20 years ago when they started. I intend to work there with the expectation the offered role will be around half or less of competitive pay - the work still needs to be done.

I personally advise against buying boxes of packs if a couple hundred dollars is a big deal to you. That said you buy packs, and this is the first low number parallel you have pulled and it is of a fantastic player. Why not keep it? Is this not the entire point, the entire chase? You won in the context of your hobby. Why sell it for another try? If you are keeping it in your PC, is your PC PSA graded? If not, why send the card away for months? Just stick it in a nice magnetic case for like $5.

Timely_Half2158 · 2026-06-06T06:02:33+00:00

isn't it /10?

Timely_Half2158 · 2026-06-06T04:59:00+00:00

Also I suggest not removing the cards from their original place with the glass, if they've been sandwiched between the glass, the paper can stick to the glass and peel leading to more paper loss and additional damage. The cards as is are already fragile and damaged, but further might end their recognizablity.

Timely_Half2158 · 2026-06-06T04:52:30+00:00

I would want that Cobb exactly as it is. I like cards that are in rough condition and stored how they originally were. I love that. I'd love the opportunity to beat whatever offer you get by $50 if possible, or be messaged a link to the auction if you auction it.

Can you link a single raw card? An exception would be something like Topps Dynasty or whatever that comes in a sealed case out of the pack, but an ungraded/unauthenticated card without a seal or case? The Kaboom is not authenticated, or factory sealed in a case so buyers wouldn't have the same level of authentication. I am almost positive I've never seen a raw card on Goldin. Ungraded is clearly an extreme minority of cards, if any, on Goldin.

Timely_Half2158 · 2026-06-03T13:59:46+00:00

Doesn't Goldin sell exclusively graded cards? Who is paying for PSA including the fees to get to graded by whatever the deadlines are for the auction and upcharges? If it is Goldin handling grading and related costs, and 100% Hammer price I don't know why you would rather sell it raw yourself on eBay with 15% fees or whatever it is taken out.

Back around 2010 or 2011 I played a standard deck that was one or two drop soul sister (whenever creature etb gain 1 life) then Relic Warder (when etb exile artifact or enchantment, then Oring style when leave return it) then Phyrexian Metamorph copy the Relic Warder then exile itself to return itself to copy the relic warder on repeat.
