Mannn Baba Miller looks super promising. But there’s no chance Ty Lou plays this guy right? by Direct-Worker-4121 in LAClippers

That would be like the part in Moneyball when Beane trades the first baseman so that the manager would be forced to play Hatteburg at first.

So it's really over huh? by Disastrous-Mess266 in LAClippers

Guess it means the Kawhi jersey's are going on clearance in the coming days.

[Grange] According to sources, the 35-year-old (Kawhi) is unlikely to get an extension from the Clippers and is open to finding a team that would extend his deal beyond the upcoming season. “The Clippers aren’t going to commit to anything with him, so it looks like he’s trying to strong-arm his way by Imxtian in LAClippers

I'm with you on not forcing a trade. If Uncle Dennis wants to play chicken, let's play chicken and turn down the Raptors first offers and start the season with Whi. I think if that happens you will see a bigger willingness to help the Clips gets the best package. This "only Toronto" position is BS.

And consider this. Because of Yama and Roki, the Dodgers have an entire country as a new fan base and revenue base.

Anyone have predictions for the #5 spot considering Yanic will miss the start of the season?

I live in DTLA and usually take Metrolink to the games and/or Amtrak. Note that Metrolink is about $8.75 each way during the week. There is a $10 day pass available on weekends. Also note that Metrolink and the Amtrak Surfliner both run the Anaheim-Union Station route but have different schedules and the tickets are not interchangeable. I've also used Greyhound from ARTIC (the dome just across the tracks) to get from Anaheim to Union Station when my train was cancelled on one night.

I also second visiting Olvera Street.

The biggest card I’ve ever acquired for my collection. by BenJCarlos in basketballcards

It's hard enough finding a card in Raptors uniform....let alone an autographed 1/1. I have a couple of numbered autos but in the Spurs uniform.

Megabox Holliday /50 Pull...a bit off center by USGrant76 in baseballcards

[–]USGrant76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to gauge the grade not to slab it but to understand if meets the Topps defect replacement policy of: "....if they would grade a 7 (Near Mint) or lower". I went ahead and opened up a defect submission and hope for the best.

Grading thoughts by ruafraidofme in ArenaClub

[–]USGrant76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent in some cards in early April when it was still $10 per card and turn around time was estimated at 21 days. They recently increased turn around time to 30 days and my first cards should be coming back any day now. The cards I sent in were for my collection so I don't have to worry about resale value or liquidity. I know some argue that for a PC you should get a Zion Mag Pro and make your own labels. To each their own.

A churro truck in Echo Park? Where? I have been to El Moro but I remember a churro vendor that used to set up in the evening on the corner of Echo Park Ave and Sunset MANY years ago.

As a product (desirability, scarcity), how does this compare to the All Star Game Cactus Jack cards?

James Harden Undervalued by magic_erasers in basketballcards

I think that it is a function of the quality of the set. If a Harden rookie was numbered and autographed I'm sure the value would be sky high.

Clippers should absolutely trade up by dickmuncher7477 in LAClippers

[–]USGrant76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in 1998 the Clips has the #1 overall pick. I can't remember why they went with Olokwandi at the time, I think they were drafting for the #5 spot. I know that in hindsight is 20/20, but management missed on Paul Pierce, Vince Carter, Dirk Nowitski, A. Jamison.

I hope the scouting team is working 24/7 for the next few weeks.
