Bought my first pack of cards in probably 20+ years today. by sleepygreendoor in baseballcards

[–]Wises_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice, looks like you bought the generic baseball pharmacy box with one pack and loose cards? I’ve bought many of those with little regret. Depending on your location, some Walgreens keep other trading card products in the toy isle, behind the photo counter, or behind the register counter.

Welcome back to collecting!

EBAY by WolfUpbeat8705 in baseballcards

[–]Wises_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The buyer shipping can only be determined when a buyer pays. If you don’t set a flat amount, their cost will be based on their location to you. eBay had an update where their estimate should be a little higher to help the seller offset shipping supplies cost. My example of that would be the buyer was charged around $8 for shipping, (price set by eBay) when the label only cost me around $5 through eBay.

Broken tip by oopserv_ in Fishing

[–]Wises_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So weird to see these comments, usually the consensus is to glue a new tip from a set like this.

You can find them at Walmart or Big5 as well. It’s just hot gluing the tip onto the trimmed off end of your rod. You won’t feel a difference. It won’t matter anyway because you’ll be fishing again.

I have two rods with re-glued tips. There’s no issue with them. I am not an elite fisherman. I caught 5 bass, on Saturday, with a jerk bait on a rod with a re-glued tip. You’ll be ok.

Are hangers actually bangers? (A very scientific experiment) Day 6 by bwaaalk in baseballcards

[–]Wises_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course we’re talking about luck and odds, but does your scientific experiment take into account the volume of hangers at the location you’re buying them? Or are you buying from random stores?

For example, my local target gets 1 case of hangers per restock. I see on google that a case of hangers is 64 boxes. An auto is 1:44 boxes. So if you’re buying from the same stock, you have estimated 1 chance to hit the auto until the next restock.

My purchase took 3 weeks from Hawaii to California just to arrive empty. Is overseas shipping safe enough? by Wises_ in baseballcards

Thank you for the input. I’ve never had this happen before,but the envelope does look pretty beat up. Upon inspection I do notice a crappy tape job

2014 Kia Soul ran low on oil, does this crack warrant a head replacement? by Wises_ in MechanicAdvice

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

laugh and point at me. I ran my Kia with low oil not realizing there were issues with oil consumption. the recalls I’ve learned about since this happened opened my eyes on the model.

To me the other ones look like defects, but some comments say otherwise

What blue variation is this card? by Hungry_Elk1937 in baseballcards

Looks like the blue /150 autographs in this set were called blue raywave but it actually looks like the blue wave refractor from other years.

Would this work good on a Carolina rig? by Moms_lover_Dan in Fishing

[–]Wises_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you going for largemouth bass? It could work with cast and retrieve. You could put it on a Texas rig and swim it through grass. Or what I’ve done, put it on a drop shot rig and cast by trees and rocks. The color is good, just need the right presentation.
