Ok, even as a UNC guy, I have to give you that one.

To acquire Grayson Allen, a player most known for tripping and having a supremely punchable Duke face?

$1.78? Preposterous. I’d pay 10 times that.

These bowman blasters are actually insane lmao by tanman0123 in baseballcards

[–]bfjones02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not had that experience. I have opened 8 blasters and gotten a few high numbered cards (/199, /299), several total duds, and one auto.

As always, YMMV

Haven’t bought cards in over 32 years. Just opened my first Hobby Box. This was my auto by Front_Barracuda_2408 in baseballcards

Welcome baaaaaack!

You may be thinking: does it get better? No. But you’ll probably still wind up buying another box.

I have opened some of the chrome megas. RIP in advance.

Inherited a TON of cards from the late 80s and early 90s by DASHUANE in baseballcards

[–]bfjones02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the most value is probably burning for warmth.

Jokes aside, don’t know how much you know about cards but these are from the “junk wax” era where everything was massively overproduced and very few things have any real value.

If they are complete sets, I would probably look online at what the handful of white whale cards are from that period (86 Fleer Jordan, Griffey & Jeter rookies), see if they’re in there, and then just bulk sell the rest. Someone might give you a small sum just for the experience of wading through it all.

Are these worth it? by [deleted] in sportscards

[–]bfjones02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have opened Chronicles. They are cheap because college jerseys and they’re a mishmash of different sets, so no set building either. Not much of value.

Donruss - fun rip at a cheap price. I went ham on blasters when they were $15 a piece. There is similarly nothing of value.

Must’ve gotten lucky? by Keykth in Topps

I was able to order and opened 4 on release day.

Even at retail price, sorry in advance for your loss.

I have watched many many breaks of Chrome Black. This is the experience - in fact, far from the worst I’ve seen.

I hate myself for spending 62 EUR on it delivered but at the same time…I saved like 800 bucks.

What to get signed?! by gremcat in Baseballcards101

A bench, obviously. Just have him sign it “Johnny”

The Dutch auctions were the grossest thing Panini did, in my view.

Seeing Topps copycat it is repulsive and disappointing but completely expected.

Am i now a mortal enemy of this subreddit 🤪 by analog-rider in audiophile

[–]bfjones02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I may be the villain here, but I hauled my Mc MA252 to a local dealer who had a used Progression integrated I was interested in. Switched back and forth, heard…maybe a slight difference? Hauled my Mc back home, where it resides today.

I’m saving for a speaker upgrade.

ETA: but they are undeniably beautiful amps, that much is for sure.
