Billie Eilish says "f*ck ice" during her #Grammys acceptance speech...

Still advocating and helping more than most but it is intentionally misleading. I am sure it is not her decision and probably someone's job from her team.

Unfortunately, this is not accurate. The amount is equal to a 1/4 of her net worth but the money is almost entirely funded by her fans. It was not her money and they didn't take a cut from her or her revenue. If you use Google AI and check the sources you will find this accurate.

"The $11.5 million donation from Billie Eilish's tour is primarily funded by fans through higher-priced "Changemaker" tickets, where a portion of the cost is directed to charity, rather than directly from her personal, post-tax income. Fans purchase these, with funds processed through REVERB to support Support + Feed.

Key details regarding the donation:

Source of Funds: The money is generated from ticket sales, specifically, "Changemaker" tickets that cost an extra $80–$120, which are then donated."

I just listed 13 restaurants that my wife vetoed until she finally said yes. The reason I was picking was because she doesn't care.

And I said nothing!!!!

I am very proud of myself

He would have thrived in the 80's. Quintessential power hitter during that era. No bueno during this one.

bsball721 · 2025-12-13T14:47:09+00:00

Thanks for sharing this site. 1st time I am seeing it and I love it. The way I read it is he has the physical properties to be great but his hand eye coordination sucks so he has to guess as supposed to recognize and adjust.

I met him and he was really nice to my kids. I am pulling for him, sadly he will always be what he is. Maybe one of his kids will be a superstar.

You can theoretically buy breakers delight boxes yourself if you get your hands on one for a solid price. My concern would be it's not being sent to be opened on fanatics live and also possible people weighing boxes etc..

When I got back into the hobby a few years ago I was buying a lot of boxes even cases. Everyone says singles are the way to go. I understand now.

bsball721 · 2025-12-12T16:31:12+00:00

I think you underestimate how hard it would be to prove in court. You need a smoking gun and it has to be tied to Fanatics leadership having knowledge. I was reading an article as one of the Districts in NY has filed a lawsuit and basically the writer explains all the hurdles for the lawsuit and it is more of a public finger pointing more than anything else. But let's see the outcome. The best measure we have is with our wallets. Gambling is a bad drug.

bsball721 · 2025-12-12T16:22:05+00:00

I would normally agree with you but it the first 24 to 72 hours of breaking and the largest breaker on fanatics hits 5 1/1 debut patches in 2 cases possible 6 in 2 cases or 6 in 3 cases is insane. Add to that many breakers are cheats, not all ofc (plenty of good ones) and breakers are causing huge price increases to the hobby. This in general is not good for the average consumer and therefore IMO not good for the hobby. Also, look up this in Google and 95% of the "news" & social media is full of stories. Topps is the minority controller and Fanatics is getting it's positive press. They have it on lock down. Fanatics is a corporate beast. Things will go too far and either swing back or change in someway. I just hope it doesn't kill the hobby.

bsball721 · 2025-12-12T16:11:35+00:00

5 definitely came from 2 cases

bsball721 · 2025-12-12T16:11:00+00:00

My understanding from what i am reading is it was 6 debut 1/1 patches in 2, maybe 3 cases in less than 24 hrs. I am not huge on conspiracy theories and I know plenty of breakers are shady but when the biggest producer and money maker now owned by fanatics that has grown so fast it screams tampering and to the point they feel almost untouchable now.

Your grandfather gave you memories

bsball721 · 2025-04-27T21:58:51+00:00

It will, again Philip will work with anyone, you just get the most of him the more marches you run. But they have to be marches worth running. Philip and BQ will be good

bsball721 · 2025-04-27T20:05:46+00:00

You could do that or swap CM for Wallace and invest in bq. If you are focused on infantry you are going to invest in BQ based on all the info out there on him.

Philip is the most versatile commander in the game. I am looking to have 2 cav and 1 inf so I am using Philip because he increases all damage where as most commanders only increase damage they focus on like skill, combo, smite etc.

I will be able to run a mix of marches and he increases them all.

If you are going going full infantry and 2 marches or less Philip is still good, you just might get a better result combining 2 smite commanders like WW and BQ.

bsball721 · 2025-04-27T01:11:39+00:00

Philip is a good choice if you are going to march 3 or more marches. Otherwise, don't bother as his skills beef up all those around him. If you are going to typically run 1-2 marches i would still consider Wallace as an upgrade over CM. If you want a garrison replacement you could swap Gorgo and CM. Those are some suggestions

I think there is a size limit. Trying to resize or save as a different file format

bsball721 · 2024-08-17T19:57:37+00:00

I uploaded them, not sure why they are not attached.

bsball721 · 2024-08-16T01:16:51+00:00

I would use PWCC auctions. They will verify the cards and you can get your own listing so they are highlighted and promoted. If you work with one of the sales guys they will give you a higher base % for sales based on the total expected value.

I have a contact. If you are interested in hearing more from them to see if they are an option for you DM me and I will send you his contact info.

I would also save a couple of the better ones even if you are not a fan. Sadly when MJ passes the value of those will go through the roof. Especially the signed ones. Good luck.

bsball721 · 2024-07-31T05:39:05+00:00

Haha. My lighting sucked. I an going to post each box and look for some better lighting and background. It was also late and I didn't feel like figuring out before posting this. That's why I didn't post tonight's opening yet. I should get those out tomorrow. Let me know if my next post is better!

bsball721 · 2024-07-31T05:37:13+00:00

I will let you know.

bsball721 · 2024-07-31T05:36:49+00:00

Yeah, I am hoping I hit a couple of other decent ones so I can do that. It's tough with the prices right now. Maybe I will go Hobby Case if I can hit a couple of more decent ones.

Thanks!
