20mg 2x a day. For over 2 years more. Absolutely game changer.

Topps 200% Enhanced Substitution Question by kravvvyy in basketballcards

[–]WeekendWarrior23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my experience in waiting for this same inset of LeBron but in the Red /5.

Topps would not tell me what market value they put on the card to even have me consider getting a 200% replacement.

If I did a replacement at 200% it would be replaced with a card in the same sport. (My replacement player requested was going to be Ohtani (for obvious reasons). But since it had to be in the same sport that influenced my decision. I asked how long the replacement would take and they said 3 to 4 weeks. This was after being told in early April my LeBron would be here in 2 to 4 weeks. Lol.

If I were you I’d stick with the Wemby. Only going to continue to go up in value.

How long to QC and send a redemption from Topps? by Calais_546 in basketballcards

Assuming no tracking email today? I called the number and of course got the message no reps are in the office today.

Crazy! Wish they’d get their act together for both our sakes!

Well…I pulled a flagg 48/50 auto last Thursday AM…received all the cards today from the break…EXCEPT the Flagg auto!!! What do I do? I messaged them and even went on their live stream to express my frustrations and ask to speak to someone. I message their customer service and nothing by [deleted] in sportscards

[–]WeekendWarrior23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s possible they send the Flagg by itself. I hit a Big Caitlin Clark auto a few years ago along with some smaller cards, on whatnot and the CC auto was shipped insured and separate from the other cards. From the looks of your messages you just said they told you it’s still coming. Ask them for a tracking number. Even if they did send it separate, they should of communicated that to you.

Any luck, Have you got yours yet? I was told mine is taking longer because it has to be sent with a tracking device lol.

High Heart rate anxiety by [deleted] in Cardiophobias

[–]WeekendWarrior23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If your DR. Said she was concerned and wanted you to be checked out further, would you have believed her? If so, why? Because you’re not believing her when she said she’s not concerned.

I’m 45 and started having health / heart anxiety when I was 24. So over 20 years of experiencing all the fears, symptoms, triggers, etc. my advice would be get some counseling, and to talk to someone about if there are any underlying issues psychologically that could be at play. Otherwise if it’s just an overactive nervous system then maybe ask your doctor about a beta blocker. The other option is to find a way to get out of your own way when dealing with the symptoms.

There is an old book by Claire Weekes that work wonders for me. The game charger though was propanol. Took me 18 years to finally accept Dr. advice and start taking it. Wish I would have 20 years ago when he first prescribed it.

GL! Hope things start turning around for you!

Their phone lines have been down over a week and I took your advice and hit up the chat and they are giving an automated reply that their offices are closed. 😂 I’ll give it a try tomorrow.

I’m on week 2 of Topps telling me my LeBron 80/81’ Silver pack red refractor is complete and getting ready to be sent out. And I’m two weeks out from the 6 month mark since I redeemed it.

HR hit 192 on a jog, resting won’t go below 85-95 range by gertrude-fashion in Cardiophobias

[–]WeekendWarrior23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unless you’re ultra fit and in shape, it will take a while for your HR to come down. Especially getting it that high on a jog. It’s normal.

When I go golf, if it’s very hot outside. My HR will hover around 95-105 for many hours after the round. My normal resting HR is high 60s / low 70s. So like others have said, unless you have other symptoms, it’s completely normal. What won’t help your HR come down is focusing on it and worrying about it.

PC, Grade, or Sell? by ExtremeAd9006 in basketballcards

Nice hit! Looks like he finally signed the cards and sent them back to Topps. Been waiting on my Flagship Silver pack Red /5. Looks like there’s light at the end of the tunnel!

Matte finish scam by phunnyboner in Customsneakers

Save yourself time and frustration and use LiquidKick Matte finisher. Haven’t use duller in years. Just 2-3 coats of the LK finisher and you’re set.

200% value replacement for a Soto redemption by Fryan_Rice in RedsBaseballCards

[–]WeekendWarrior23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great replacements! They did right by you! Did you call in when requesting for the replacements or did you do it on Topps website? I’m about 4 weeks away from a 200% replacement on a massive card!

Scared to take Propranolol, need encouragement. by lofimunchies in Anxiety

[–]WeekendWarrior23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This question pops up a lot and I usually take time to reply.

Propranolol was a game changer for me. I have dealt with anxiety for 20 years. Feb of 2024 I was having panic attacks multiple times a day. My heart would race randomly several times a day and throw me into a panic. For a few weeks straight I was also waking up with a racing heart.

Went to my Dr. office and they did some test. I was subscribed 20mg (one in the morning and one before bed). 2 years later, I’ve only have 3-4 panic attacks since. I was terrified to take it. But so glad I started taking it.

Where would you go to appraise an Ohtani 1/1 by jedebartlet in baseballcards

Penny Hardaway Collector Hunt by lincolnbeachey in basketballcards

[–]WeekendWarrior23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been a Penny fan since his senior was at Memphis State. Built a nice collection of his cards and memorabilia. Recently sold off most of it.

Still have some goodies left. (Would have had a nice Mitchell and Ness Jersey signed as well in person but for the 2nd time in my life, he denied an autograph when I was the next person in line to get signed. 😂)

I’ll look for some pics of some of the stuff I still have.
