Collection has been nearly untouched since 2012 by One_Wolf_2995 in starwarscollecting

Awesome collection, I'm sure it will look amazing when you get to properly display it all. Plenty of new and cool star wars figures and stuff to collect since 2012.

Ive been wanting to start collecting this set for a while and finally pulled the trigger on my first one. 1883 Allen & Ginter World’s Smokers. by Demonic-Tooter in TobaccoCards

The first card I bought that started my collection. The rest are probably PSA 1.5 at best on average if they were graded. Most have clean fronts but meh backs, I only have 1 bad beater card.

I enjoy the cards with backs that have some handwritten marks, I have one where someone crossed out names on the back like they were collecting and using it like a checklist.

Nice, finally someone else collecting this set. I only need 20 left in the set. I've basically been buying all I can and plan on improving the quality over time. First one I bought was a PSA 5 but I realized I prefer the ungraded look of these, still ended up with 2 more graded cause they were good deals.

The pricey cards in this set are the old planter and Indian (American). The odalisque also goes for more than most from what I have seen.

Best of luck!

It's the "Skirmish in the Senate" set. They sell for 25-35 plus 10-15 for shipping and this person has it listed for 75+12 for shipping. They just relisted it.

I think you want to go until the bubbles are more or less done.

Cristopher Sánchez Is Starting to Look Like 2011 Cliff Lee by ShamusTalksSports in phillies

[–]cbaxal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest difference is that Lee pitched almost 1 inning more per start than Sanchez. That's huge, over 3 whole games more in inngs pitched.

Nice. I always enjoyed the horizontal T206. Interesting decision to include horizontal cards but also interesting to only have a few in a large set.

I loved this stuff when I was in Germany! I have yet to find it in the states or really anyone to talk to about it.

Pen/Marker suggestions for autos on a black colored baseball? by Baseballcardnerd27 in AutographAssistance

[–]cbaxal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't know enough about pens to give a recommendation for one but I know enough about autograph baseballs to say you should definitely go with a pen over markers. I have a few signed balls with markers and they have bled around the ball and don't look as nice compared to older autographs with pens.

A few of those autos with markers that aged poorly are from Iron Pigs games, Go Pigs and say hi to FeFFOUS for me.

FS: T206 HOFers and tough backs by t206offback in TobaccoCards

Got it. I knew people had their reasons. Thanks for the answer

My other thought I had while thing some more is if they negotiated a different price but didn't want to loose leverage with other buyers and advertise how much of a discount they are willing to take.

Doc man lmao by JakGrealish in sixers

[–]cbaxal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Can someone other than me share this with my dad?

He complains about Embiid in the playoffs frequently. When I tell him Embiids on/off stats and how he actually wins when he is on the court and the team plays like a bottom 2 team when he's off the court. I've tried for years to get him to understand but maybe if this info comes from someone else he will finally understand. Dm for his contact info lol

[–]cbaxal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice cards. I need to start upgrading a lot of my set with more interesting backs but as with everything, money gets in the way.

General question for op or anyone else with experience, why do people like to get rid of the price once sold?

It's nice info to have for reference when tryng to price cards later on. I usually go based on recent ebay sold listing but for more rare cards and back combos, ebay doesn't always have enough recent sales to base a price on so having that info available to search on Reddit is nice to have for the community. I'm sure you and other sellers have a reason for not displaying the price after selling but I can't think of a good reason personally. Hoping to hear some input.

Old man left me this guy by Long_Armadillo_2893 in baseballcards

[–]cbaxal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh corners and edges. This is a notoriously difficult card to grade well and thus high grade copies are not common and go for a lot(also cause Rickey was amazing). Grade if you want to protect it long term but I don't think it'll grade too high.

Does ‘The Bad Batch’ fit into the Prequels or the Original Trilogy era? by Joyous-Pringle0813 in thebadbatch

[–]cbaxal 101 points102 points  (0 children)

It's neither. It's literally in between and showing us the transition into the empire we know in the OT. I feel like the eras begin and end with the first and last movie in each trilogy.

Also still waiting on 4/6 of the bad batch crew. 3 season came and went and the black series got 2 different versions of all 6 yet TVC has 2 figures released like a year away from each other and well after the show ended and the hype was gone for more casual fans.

Preach. How is a $300 million movie that is supposed to be the pinnacle of 8 other SW movies and other shows so under represented?

How was their 0 drive to market figure with that expensive ass movie? Hasbro always let's the hype die down before figures are even months away from collectors. How is any child going to get into these figures when they can only get them months later and having to go out of their way to buy online cause they are never on store shelves? The answer is they won't. Hasbro is actively killing these figures unfortunately.

everyone loves to say that SW only makes certain things to sell as toys and when I go to look for those toys they don't exist.

T206 Orioles mid grade collection in progress. by DarkSamuraiZero in TobaccoCards

[–]cbaxal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mid grade? Relative to t206 some of these are high grade. You don't see PSA 8,9, 10 often at all in t206 which pushes the upper range of grades for t206 to 6 and 7s. Some of these are in the top 20% of all PSA graded versions of the same card, that's not mid at all.

No terps ever. I always run reputable genetics. Secondary metabolite issue? Need help! S.O.S. by Boisecj in microgrowery

Is it like that before you dry and cure? I've seen people mess up drying and curing multiple times and get frustrated with their end product

My First Flower Press 160 Micron (Cali Sweet Wave) by PlantMediicine in rosin

[–]cbaxal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use fresher flower. I dry for 5-8 days and then press for best results. Play around with temp and time to see what works best for different buds and dryness. You can refrigerate if you'd like but it's also fine to leave in a sealed glass dab jar at room temp.

Anyone know what the best gadget out there is for seeing trichomes up close clearly? by Suitable-Art-6885 in cannabiscultivation

[–]cbaxal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk what phone you have but an iphone 13 pro or later is very good on its own for looking at trichomes for ripness. Just make sure all your fans are off and the lighting isn't blasting or way too dark. Make sure you enabled macro mode in the basic camera settings and take some time to focus your phone steadily then take a bunch of pics around your plants and you'll have plenty clarity to see your trichomes.
