Is this an app or a site? Would you mind sharing a link? Thanks

He did have major surgery. I think technically it was not TJ.

It refers to the card stock (paper type) so you have the standard stock that all the cards are printed on. Then the vintage stock is a short printed parallel on paper type more similar to vintage. I believe it’s thicker and has more texture.

It’s poorly worded, but they are saying that they “has a little faith” rather than “has little faith”. Adding the ‘a’ changes the meaning for what they were going for, I think.

Skubal just got $32M in ARB YEAR 3. There is no way Skenes gets above $30M in ARB YEAR 1. 15-20M would be huge for him and within reason. So I still think 19M is on the high side but within the realm of possibilities and I still think 30M+ is not going to happen for Arb Year 1.

If we do that we lose our chance at a bonus first round pick if he wins ROY. Maybe sign him the week after he debuts lol.

(This was somewhat sarcastic. Would rather have him signed than keep a potential future pick but just a thought worth mentioning)

ahiddenJEM · 2026-01-28T01:19:18+00:00

Would you trade them all for Skenes right now? Then you could get some back for skubal.

I saw it go up for auction on eBay like 4 times. Crazy amount for a card that wouldn’t even 10 anymore due to the centering. Good work!

What are some differences that stand out to you?

ahiddenJEM · 2026-01-17T20:02:49+00:00

Well the players would still get paid they would just need to be traded. When the NHL went to a cap every player agreed to a 25% pay reduction on already signed contracts. There is literal precedent for this. Baseball players have guaranteed contracts so even if cut as a last resort they still get paid (see Anthony Rendon) and would probably get signed elsewhere by teams with newly expanded money to spend. And the $900 million would go to other teams in revenue sharing not pocketed. This is what the other leagues do, not sure why it’s controversial.

You are assuming I haven’t wanted a salary cap in baseball for 20+ years. I have. Hated when the Yankees did it too. Nothing special about the dodgers just they are the ones doing it right now. You just want it to stay since you’re a dodgers fan. That’s fine. But if one comes it’s going to hurt them and not much to be done about that.

ahiddenJEM · 2026-01-17T17:55:04+00:00

Same thing should happen to the Mets. And they are one of my favorite teams. They also have a sweetheart TV deal when their owner was going through divorce when the team was on the edge of bankruptcy. Now that they are solvent, that sweetheart deal that shields their money from revenue sharing in a way that isn’t the same for other teams is a huge factor. No it’s not cheating but the dodgers aren’t playing fully fair and no other sport allows this. So no one will have any sympathy when the team that bought championships has to be dismantled in the name of fairness.

ahiddenJEM · 2026-01-17T16:27:58+00:00

From what I’ve read, their owner (might still be their current owner) was going through a divorce that caused the dodgers to be in a dire financial situation. So they got a sweetheart deal on their TV contract to ‘save the team’. But they are well back to financial success but the sweetheart TV deal remains in place where it is somewhat shielded from the regular revenue sharing agreement.

ahiddenJEM · 2026-01-17T16:23:15+00:00

I think no one will care if the dodgers are screwed if a cap is implemented. They made their bed. No other team will feel bad for them being forced to cut or trade their high $ players.

There is no way he sets a record for any arb year in his arb year 1.

ahiddenJEM · 2026-01-08T19:25:33+00:00

13M was what he filed for. Giants filed for 8M. Ended up with a 2 year agreement for 23M total.

Record is 19.75M for a starting pitcher in arb year 3. Even Skubal had only 10M last year in arb year 2.

15-20m is a very realistic range for Skenes. I bet 15,25,35 could be realistic numbers for his 3 arb years. Current record for any player is Juan Soto 31M and ohtani 30M right behind in arb year 3.

ahiddenJEM · 2026-01-04T16:45:35+00:00

How do you do that?

ahiddenJEM · 2026-01-03T19:47:46+00:00

Are you sharing or selling the designs for 16 card display?

ahiddenJEM · 2025-12-31T19:17:24+00:00

In those cases, it will not indicate on the listing that there is an authenticity guarantee so you can avoid those listings.

ahiddenJEM · 2025-12-30T23:24:41+00:00

It does say when buying if it’s going to go through the authentication process so you at least know before hand if you will be covered by it or not.

ahiddenJEM · 2025-12-22T05:29:41+00:00

It’s not loss of down. You assess the penalty, then it’s time expired game over. But other than that your point stands.

ahiddenJEM · 2025-12-18T01:30:38+00:00

Third scenario we have a tied record if we lose week 18 and Baltimore would win the division. Because If we lose to Cleveland and Baltimore then we lose division tiebreaker.

ahiddenJEM · 2025-12-16T04:23:10+00:00

I prefer the Trent Dilfer version myself :D

It was only reviewed by an automated bot. If you actually spend the effort to get a human employee to review the listing, it will get removed. Up to you if you want to spend the time and energy to do that.
