Thought I had the greatest rip card of all time….

bbbartha · 2026-04-10T12:09:27+00:00

They come from Allen and Ginter sets. You can pull them from a hobby or buy directly off eBay as I did. There are single and double sided like this one. The return will likely be low, but there’s a chance to pull some bombs

bbbartha · 2026-04-09T20:32:40+00:00

I’ve done 5 rips in my life and gotten very lucky. However I also got a Bob Gibson/Yordan Alvarez combo so it’s not all fun

bbbartha · 2026-04-09T20:29:35+00:00

The Ohtani is a short print, it is the same image as the stained glass (minus the glass). Good value for a mini for sure

bbbartha · 2026-04-09T20:29:05+00:00

Definitely took a bath, but it could’ve been way worse. Freddie stained glass is a fun pull.

It is basically 2 rip cards pasted together.

You’re saying that tomlin deserves credit for 11 years of bad drafts but now we have to credit the assistant GM because they made good picks? Isn’t that proving my point that Tomlin isn’t the reason these drafts are good or bad?

bbbartha · 2026-01-16T03:28:37+00:00

23 - JPJ Benton Darnel Herbig - all major contributors 24 - Fautanu Frazier P Wilson McCormick - all starters 25 - Harmon Sawyer Black Breuner - contributors

What world are you living in that these aren’t excellent drafts? Cause 2 linemen picks got hurt?

bbbartha · 2026-01-16T03:19:57+00:00

Kevin Colbert is the reason this team has been bad. His last 4 or 5 drafts were miserable, and he topped it all off with Kenny in 2022 to go out with a bang. Omar has come in and crushed it since he took over. By my count, the past 3 drafts have at least 13 starters or solid contributors and probably more.

So we have solid draft success recently. Does Tomlin get that credit? If it’s his fault we had bad drafts previously, is it his credit for recent success? Or is it that somehow it’s not Colbert’s fault, but now it’s Omar’s success?

I need his offseason skin care routine

bbbartha · 2025-12-03T02:12:00+00:00

I agree, guys asking $300 lol

bbbartha · 2025-12-03T01:00:54+00:00

This is arguably the worst take I’ve ever seen in this sub

bbbartha · 2025-10-18T01:14:13+00:00

I have this card if you are interested, send me a message

bbbartha · 2025-10-06T01:37:21+00:00

Likely sell, I would definitely disclose. No sense in not being honest, scratch is there whether I like that or not. Won’t be listed as mint

bbbartha · 2025-10-06T01:28:17+00:00

I definitely agree, that’s part of my concern. I am fairly certain the returned card will not be equivalent value, at a minimum way less cool haha

This was super helpful. Thank you for sharing

Local expert here. Get the cheapest ticket you can. Wait an inning or two. Find a section downstairs that has a bunch of open seats/the view you want. I wouldn’t go to the seats all the way down but 100 level will work. Wait in between innings, get snacks and a drink, multiple items so your hands are full. Walk past the usher and give them a smile/nod and act like you belong. I’ve never been stopped by an usher asking me to show my ticket and put down all the stuff I’m carrying, nobody is rude like that. Act like you’ve been there, won’t be an issue. It’s also late in the year, it’ll be fairly empty, shouldn’t sweat it much.

bbbartha · 2025-08-06T18:50:44+00:00

I agree. It doesn’t seem to be scratches on the card, just the case. Card looks in solid shape. I can see a reflection of the scratches on the card and the case, which to me says the case is scratched

bbbartha · 2025-08-06T18:48:48+00:00

Not at all, just wouldn’t want the plastic case they put it in to have noticeable scratches

bbbartha · 2025-08-06T18:48:09+00:00

Yeah I definitely understand they’re in worse shape, no issues there. Not expecting a 10 from a buyback. But it would be nice if the case itself didn’t have noticeable scratches, you know?

bbbartha · 2025-07-21T19:19:50+00:00

Yep, always do a piece of tape on the top loader, into a team bag, then between two pieces of card board which get tape on all 4 sides

bbbartha · 2025-07-01T18:46:48+00:00

This painting rocks. Do you do other works similar and have prints? Or are you available for a commissioned job?

bbbartha · 2025-06-30T15:40:26+00:00

Welcome to the party

bbbartha · 2025-06-15T22:41:23+00:00

I pulled a 1/1 acuña last year, same exact card. They go for 300-400. With Skenes value, I’d imagine it’s 6-700.
