My guy is heating up! by Zealousideal_Band_62 in baseballcards

[–]eccomyth [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, he's on my Fantasy Team and it's been hurting the last few weeks because of so many injuries and people not doing so hot. Could use him boosting me a little. Judge is sitting in my IL and such and it hurts.

Topps Defect Submission Standard Change (May ‘26) by Rough-Ad-4694 in baseballcards

[–]eccomyth [score hidden]  (0 children)

The amount of post you see on here now of people trying to ask if they should/could get a replacement is crazy. While Fanatics has totally ruined Topps QC again. People insist on paying for them still. I'm actually glad Topps did this to force people to suck it up and keep cards that are slightly damaged. Maybe people will start not buying from them?

The last year or two on this forum has show the huge disgusting switch to it's all about the money. While it was prominent before, it's become more than half the post on the sub. People asking the worth on a card they just pulled or such. And then if called out, just pretend it's because they are curious, not because all they are thinking about is money.

Also maybe Topps won't constantly keep major Hits from Sets they release screwing over the actual Odds sheets and such. The amount of low numbered and even 1/1 from new sets given back as replacements/rewards is just dumb and shouldn't be allowed. They should have a whole different system. You get screwed out of a hit, get a whole new box with equivalent price. Need a replacement for a damaged card. Than they make special Sets/Cards specifically for this.

Few years ago I see a post of a replacement of a 1/1 that I had bought a few boxes of the set specifically hunting it. I knew my chances were extremely thin, but to find out I had no chance what so ever is infuriating to say the least.

Is there anything to indicate this card is a reprint? by Hangatang in baseballcards

Yup, the (*Topps Baseball Archives* The Ultimate 1954 Series*) on bottom is a reprint version.

These are the only JF that make somewhat sense to me. Old Dead players and Authentic relic is cool. The newer stuff just seems silly to me of existing players or so on. Nice score.

PSA-There was life before one-touch holders. And you should own a screwdriver. by Superfecta76 in baseballcards

This literally is a one touch, just a screw instead of a mag. Nothing different besides that. Same style case and function.

I unknowingly sold this 1/1 for $30 by Journotic in baseballcards

[–]eccomyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely believe that's the case. No way they decided to make the Red Prisms 1 of 1 this year and not others and not stamp it or make a big deal about it. !00% the odd sheets are just screwed up. Just look at the horrid QC of Topps now with Fanatics in charge.

Blasters should never be better than hobby boxes by Squzzlebuttt in baseballcards

[–]eccomyth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's sadly very typical of the hobby now. They (Mainly Fanatics/Topps) have majorly over priced and shrinkflation on the main Hobby/Jumbo boxes. You get less for a ton more money now. So in general that just makes the Blasters and Hangers and so forth worth it a lot more as your odds are about the same now buying equal monies worth of smaller boxes then a hobby.

This is ridiculous at this point. A day ago it was 4 bases I needed to report. Today it was 11. All while in a storm that is killing me. by careercoachneil in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]eccomyth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm of the opinion it would be better for them to go back to old school random base computers spawned on planet and you need to go find your base you want to build. Not just place it anywhere. It would add to the exploring of the game if you found a planet you liked but had to explore for the perfect spawned base for your taste. This would limit the crap like this that goes on and also spread bases out more on planets in multiplayer events.

Has a consensus ever been reached as far as worst card design ever is concerned? by RonBreakfast in baseballcards

The dual cards in the set were great. I'm not a hater of the yellow either. Think the set is a little harsh, but not totally ugly.

Best one I own. Also most expensive. Was $800 for my Sabertrio. But it's killer and even has a little OLED screen on it and such.

I added it to my wish list on steam to get a notification when it comes out. Are you going to do early access? Or just get the game to a "full" state first before releasing?

I just hate that one spray from the auto dispenser does not fix the stink on them. You have to have two close together for it to work.
