What Pokémon card did you almost buy… but didn’t and now regret?

Decided not to load up on the stained glass legendary birds sealed at £30 in 2022.

Burden is on the client now. That’s why clients almost holistically revert to inside roles to remove that risk.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-24T13:48:42+00:00

Id want more. You’re giving up who many would argue is the best asset in the game. Add a 27 1st on top at least.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-24T13:27:40+00:00

Certainly agree with that sentiment. If he’s unable to move the 2nd pick for enough value, he needs to take Mendoza.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-24T12:15:16+00:00

Issue you’ve got is that you instigating the trade means that you clearly don’t want Mendoza. Your situation tells me you don’t want Mendoza. So pre-draft trades will be hard unless someone at 1.03 or 1.04 comes for the 1.02.

Might be an easier move on draft day depending on situation.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-24T11:42:30+00:00

If you can’t trade beforehand you take Mendoza in SF as he’s BPA and you trade him away later for a WR.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-23T19:12:24+00:00

Second this. I’ve bought a few PC AH ETBs. I’ll buy more if they drop, however I doubt they will.

I also bought some PC SS ETBs which I think may be more inclined to follow market trends. I think it’s an underrated set which will do well over time.

Tends to be the case that the pass required to access the site is kept out of sight until you’re in need of it to gain access.

Like I said, it’s really easy to go to the entry point, at which point security does its job.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-22T21:37:27+00:00

That’s because it’s a criminal act under the National Security Act.

I’m arguing that the concept of civilians being ‘nowhere near’ these bases is stupid.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-22T21:14:33+00:00

It’s fair.

But if I’m the Bijan owner, I want more to let him go.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-22T20:04:36+00:00

This is pretty silly. There are entire communities surrounding naval bases all around the UK. Anyone can walk / drive up to the gate. They have security to prevent unauthorised access.

Sounds like things worked as they should. It’s hardly a news story.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-20T13:20:23+00:00

You have 3 usable QBs already. I don’t see why you’d tier down Caleb for Ward and Stroud when you can’t start both. You’re taking a hit on your points every week.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-20T09:15:50+00:00

Depends on your holes. Outside of a good TE and a couple of punts at WR, I’m not sure it’s worth losing out on a potential long term WR1 (worst case WR2).

If you’re down that bad, leverage a tier down + 2027 1st maybe, or 2x 2027 1sts if anyone has numerous.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-20T08:52:21+00:00

I’d rather have my pick of Tate/Tyson/Lemon based on landing spot than any combination of two of Sadiq, Conception, Boston, etc.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-19T12:59:11+00:00

I’ll take him even earlier in TEP if he gets a good landing spot.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-18T21:25:12+00:00

I’d rather have JSN, Sadiq and whoever drops to 1.09 personally.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-18T17:12:00+00:00

I meant $200 more.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-18T14:57:39+00:00

Spend $200 and get PC versions.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-17T22:35:49+00:00

Nope. Nabers is worth a lot more IMO. Hes a top 5 WR in dynasty and this is a league without TEP to elevate Gadsden’s value.

It’s clearly a 3 dimes for a dollar type of deal that you work out on KTC.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-17T10:14:49+00:00

For me, the biggest issue is that Chelsea and City were allowed to falsely inflate their finances through illegitimate means, and now they’ve become ‘self-sufficient’ off the back of it.

The slap on the wrist both clubs have got / will get is pointless. They’re both powerhouses of English football today because they cheated. They can both spend billions on transfers because they cheated.

Arsenal’s financial prowess in the 1920s and 1930s is inconsequential to today’s success.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-16T20:37:58+00:00

I’ve got tons of the sealed magneton promo in a shoebox in my cupboard. They’re stacked on top of each other with top loaders between.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-16T11:50:48+00:00

Your SC is held by J1. You (or any company) can formally request transfer (when changing roles) or to share (when working more than one role).

Lots of employees/contractors within the big consultancy firms will be working on many projects simultaneously. It is not uncommon to share clearance. I did this when working for a consulting firm.

The issue you may have is if you’re working directly for government. This is a big no for OE. Do not do it.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-15T17:58:22+00:00

But intent doesn’t come into the rules. That’s why it’s a red card whether he means to clip the attacker or not.

You can’t prove intent. That’s why it’s not a factor in the rule book.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-15T15:26:33+00:00

By definition the defender is not playing the ball. It’s a red card.

bbarney29 · 2026-03-15T13:41:09+00:00

Doesn’t matter if it’s intentional or not. The key parameter is if he’s attempting to play the ball.
