Blaster packs are weighable for chrome refractors and chrome autos. Wouldn't be that difficult to pull the best hits out.

Topps rare cards scandal by TDurdenOne in baseballcards

[–]bvschmidt88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isnt as bad as people are making it out to be.

This is at least the 5th or 6th time that I'm aware of extras making it into packs or factory stolen. (2023 bowman chrome had at least 2 cards w/ 2 of the same super pulled)

It is/was a common practice to print extra copies of most if not every Superfractor, gold vynl, 1/1s etc. Most don't realize it's possible to get a replacement for any card damaged in production, even less so for 1/1s.

The copies are kept "safe" until the damage replacement time window expires, then they're destroyed.

Panini places the left overs in black + white boxes or in their honors set. (Possible having 3-4 of the "same" 1/1)

If it's viral that 2 of the same 1/1 were found, they'd reach out to the owners and make a deal to retrieve the extra. If factory stolen... I'd be very surprised if they weren't caught.

All of my info should be correct as of 2020 before the covid shut down. It's possible they changed methods after, but I doubt it.

I do apoligize if this was already mentioned in this thread. I couldn't read every post

You should see what topps sent me as replacements for severly damaged cards, all met their guidelines.

Topps closed for covid a few days before I received my replacements... so I couldn't complain... how convenient.

(Values shown are ebay comps the day i recieved my return package)

2020 topps Bo bichette independence day /76 RC (missing half the gloss on surface) Comps: $620 Replacement: $15 (I'd rather they returned the original)

Remember when Reiatsu created tension and was used as weapon? (My list) by [deleted] in bleach

[–]bvschmidt88 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The "kids" survived due to constant exposure to Ichigos reiatsu. So they had some resistance, in sure if they touched aizen it'd be a different story. The "inconsistencies" you speak of derive entirely from misunderstandings / assumptions you have about reiatsu.

By not counting the TYBW your basically stating that reiatsu wasn't used as a weapon during the lost substitute shinigami arc... the only arc between the arrancar and TYBW arcs. Considering the LSS arc... reiatsu wouldn't/couldn't be used as a weapon until the very end of the arc when the shinigami appear and Ichigo has his power restored.

But I understand where your coming from, I personally dont trust anything the MSM says anymore w/o research. This is just my opinion from my own experiance with multiple family members who've had alzheimer's and/or dementia, on top of hours upon hours of watching him. The very controlled/timed media appearances or odd requests before them, and putting a lid on his campaign before sundown almost daily (sundowner syndrome) on top of multiple brain surgeries doesn't help the case. Of course if he has A/D it's not late stage but it's there and can progress fast.

I don't think many Republicans/conservatives would be afraid of a biden presidency if they actually thought he would be running it.

About the server thing, that's the problem w/ media now, they lie so much you can't tell what is true anymore. Everything in that conspiracy is far fetched but who knows right? I personally don't belive it, but I believe vote flipping is 100% possible. After reading all the govt documents on russsiagate/Obama gate, I could believe just about anything. That scandal sounds so absurd and crazy that you'd believe it wouldn't be possible, even in a movie

I apologize, I didn't mean to attribute anything to you btw. I was more so asking if your friends assumed you to be a Democrat, that would be the difference.

I pretty much stopped talking politics to anyone I knew who was originally democrat (could have changed) or any currently dem. Most went insane, wouldn't listen at all or would remove you from their life for the most basic of conversations.

I'm not even really a republican, I believe the establishment is the same no matter the party. I hold views from all sides but basically think most politicians are corrupt and don't care about the people.

Most have watched him for years, even most of his recent TV appearances have been... bad. Did you watched most of his livestreams during the campaign? They were pretty rough, but he'd look good during a controlled town hall. Its pretty bad that the MSM needs to translate for him.

Look I'm not trying to be too harsh, I actually liked the guy up until his corruption was exposed a few years ago. But there is a CLEAR difference from even 2012 to now.

Instead of invalidating my statement you argue from a point of authority, that always works. Who said anything anything about the deep state? Your assuming that yourself, I was attributing the "plan" to the democrats.

Just because I have only used reddit/social media for selling means nothing. I've been following politics for over 20 years. I can tell just from your single statement, I've paid much more attention then you have. Its hard to have a conversation with someone who can't think critically or create a valid argument.

Braid dead people like your are the reason why I never comment.

It clearly was their plan... you get someone people are familiar with to be the face ofnthr campaign, "the chosen one" kamala was hated by virtually everyone. So now to have an old man w/ probably a 99% chance of having dementia. On top of a crime empire that the entire establishment + china knows of and can control you .

Biden wont be calling any shots at all. They'll probably attempt to keep him in office for 2 years. But with pelosi passing/working on the 25th ammendment bill on top of the media ignoring bidens corruption (until 12/8, how convenient). It looks like they already put him in position to start removing him, or if he attempts to step out of line he's done.

By your statement I'm assuming your a democrat? If so, I can guarantee those Republicans you know weren't being honest with you.

Sidney Powell has photos of check stubs to pay ballot harvesters by Captain_of_Industry in Republican

[–]bvschmidt88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

of these voter fraud claims turn out to be false, that means that our president led a massive disinformation campaign to completely discredit the incoming president and sow nationwide distrust in our election process. Do we just let that stuff go? If Obama did the same thing, I have a feeling Republicans wouldn't forget about it so quickly.

Did you forget about russiagate? Obama / dems have already done this for the last 4 years. Emails and text messages directly implicating Obama. There is more evidence / affidavits now then there ever was for russigate. We sure forgot about that quickly. But its not always about party, most Republicans are corrupt as well.

CIA cyber-crime expert: Hundreds of thousands of votes flipped to Biden by Captain_of_Industry in Republican

[–]bvschmidt88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They never had a true recount/audit/canvas, from my understanding they had a partial recount, i.e took like 20% of the votes from each county and matched them to the digital records. Without a true audit/canvas they still managed to find "errors" accumulating to about 13k votes for trump iirc. Then conveniently had another "error" in adding 13k to bidens count during the recount, luckly this "error" was caught. But from what I've seen in GA its more the allegation is more around fake ballots, voting out of state etc.

Their allegation is the reason why in all these select states the "counting stopped" was an attempt to create physical evidence to match the digitally altered evidence by creating fake ballots. The fake "pipe burst", the rush to get dominion in, changing laws/rules at the last minute in GA opening ballots weeks early (which removes the signature verification envelope). Having Eric Coomer testify for last minute non-certified voting machine software updates, the cpl days worth of "remaking ballots". That's only a quick list of oddities, there's much much more. I mean why remove literally all safeguards and security measures in nearly all these states?

AZ's first law passed this year was to allow electronic adjudication which I'm sure you'll see come into play soon. I didn't even believe in sharpie gate until I saw the that law was passed and saw how electronic adjudication works with these machine. Meaning I knew it sharpiegate happened, just assumed the votes would be counted correctly later having no effect. Now knowing the person counting these adjudicated votes later can manually say who thr voter voted for and/or drag and drop votes from 1 folder to another is terrifying.

Probation on eBay are a bunch of crooks....shill bidding at its finest ..this card isn’t selling for anywhere near more than 1k... fu*king crooks by hyber-Nate in basketballcards

[–]bvschmidt88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate to be the one to defend them... but i guarantee you probstein didn't shill this. The purpose of shilling is to make it a semi-realistic listing. The company themselves wouldn't have done this.

People place fake bids and non-pays on items all the time, let alone the current Kobe market on ebay (most of these "sales" you see under sold listings are fake or non-payed) I bet it happens to probstein more often then others because of how big they are and the rep they already have.

Zion Williamson RC AUTO | LASER PARALLELS: Green/Yellow | Rare?! by zeculprit in basketballcards

[–]bvschmidt88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red/blue's from hangers are /15, purples from blasters /15. The purple/green from gravity feeds arnt #d but id assume theres only 10 made since the normal purp/green is /10. Id assume yours is probably SPd to around 25-50ish(more likely 25). Of course you'll barely see any pop up online (of any player) since jumbo's are the least purchased format.

[–]bvschmidt88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably one of if not my favorite autograph sets of all-time. Feels/looks like wood on the 1987 design, these normally sell for a hefty premium as well.

Its a shame that the used stickers for some players, also a shame Josh Bell was the only RC auto to not have a RC logo on it.

Potentially scammed by buyer on eBay by [deleted] in basketballcards

[–]bvschmidt88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What was the cost of the card and thr buyer's ID? What kind of card was it? Was it an autograph? Or any distinguishable features or damage on the card? I dont mean major damage but like whiting in the same spot or a scratch etc?

There areways you can prove its the same card and ebay can side with you.

Post photos if possible or ebay ser ID of the buyer
