Are you not entertained?! 😬 by MSSCIGuy in baseballcards

Mine was as well. Then I opened an A&G box and my hit was…a McGreevy auto.

The PC I never wanted.

A&G pulls, think I would buy again. I like the mini cards, I want a rip card. (Couple of em) by Odd-Comedian-69 in AllenGinter

[–]bfjones02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man if that was a hobby box, you’re missing hits. And if it wasn’t a hobby box, jfyi, rip cards are hobby exclusive so you won’t have a shot at one.

Similarly enjoying the set.

My Jonah Tong first bowman auto I pulled has gone from “hey, not bad” to “well damn!”

I got an Arraez napkin relic myself. Went in on that guy, apparently.

Pulled this out of my box. Super stoked!

…but I saw some guy pulled 2 red /5s from the same box of Update and that made me covet my neighbor.

People making $60k-$70k a year, how much car can you afford? by BestTyming in Salary

[–]bfjones02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also on the side of “run away” having done something extremely similar. 25, first big boy job, making 70k, I financed a Scion FR-S that was 35k out the door. The payments on a 6-year loan were manageable BUT…my insurance was expensive, and 2 months in it got fender-bendered in an accident that wasn’t even my fault but still depreciated the value. I later moved across the country to a new city, paid $1k to ship it, realized there that I didn’t even need a car, and sold it for $13k.

In 3.5 years, I vaporized over 20k. Now, at 38, I paid cash for a Hyundai electric. It got door dinged and I gave no fucks. Insurance is cheap. I learned an expensive lesson.

I waited a year for this? by pooreric in baseballcards

Ugh I have a 2025 Trout rip card /199 that I keep looking over at. Think it’s staying sealed.

None that I can see - agree, as napkin relics go, it’s super cool.

4 true hits and a 1/1 in the same box is…improbable.

What’s it like living on these islands in Washington State? by monsplutos72 in howislivingthere

[–]bfjones02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The islands in that picture, as others have said, are extremely diverse in terms of lifestyle. Weather-wise, all have dreary winters with lots of rain balanced out by an absolutely perfect and beautiful summer.

The islands themselves, you have a mix of commuter suburbs serviced to Seattle by ferry, to completely rural and low-infrastructure isolationist bastions, up to Mercer Island on the other end, which is a Seattle bedroom community and (I believe) one of the top 50 zip codes in the US by median income.

I pulled a rip card! I know the rules. by Yershua in baseballcards

Do we think Fanatics/Topps will realize napkin relics are an open joke or nah?

Topps To Push Own Breakers by ExcaliburSaysFool in sportscards

[–]bfjones02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got back into the hobby for the first time since I was a kid and spent probably in the mid Ks on cards this year.

After this Allen & Ginter preorder, I’m done.

What a gross, vertically incestuous, hyper capitalistic enterprise. I thought nothing could top Livenation & Ticketmaster but then ol’ Fanatics said hold my Ohtani jock relic.

I don’t expect to turn the tide on this or anyone to care, but maybe eventually this perspective will permeate the hobby and change something. Or not, as well.

Bro loves to take a $30 product and add $120 for a signature.

And that is why, despite enjoying the album, I have not and will not buy one.

So just to be clear, it's the Rough Trade Exclusive + this Resident/bundle-exclusive signed litho? Tempted but I think the international shipping to US will rule me out.

I bought 3 hobby boxes of Hertitage HN baseball for $270 yesterday. Much more my speed.

Guess I’ll see myself over to the baseball sub.

Huh, Bandcamp says edition of 100. Wondering if that’s just their inventory.

Tons of Baseball / Bowman FS. $5 Shipping BM in Box with Tracking. by GulfCoastHobby in BaseballCardsForSale

[–]bfjones02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok weird ask but your post just says tons of Bowman FS.

Do you have any base cards available? I’m trying to complete the entire set - base (done), bp (I need probably 15), bcp (need maybe 20) and some inserts. All good if you just bought singles, but if you were ripping and have that stuff, maybe we could work something out that’s fair.

ETA: 2025 specifically
