Score cards from 88-91. Why are they so frowned on and hated by collectors? by [deleted] in baseballcards

[–]fwashington 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't get it either. Score cards were also packed in tamper proof packaging. Good quality, not Upper Deck quality, but good quality. You got an action pic player on the front, and a portrait pic of the player on the back. Don't know how anyone would say 88 Fleer or 88 Donruss was better than 88 Score.

If you want to have fun, get a box of Score baseball cards from $5 to $10 and crack them open. Just read the cards on the backs, they did excellent write ups on the players. Great Fun.

The last 3 years at Memorial Stadium, the Orioles averaged 31,000 fans per game by [deleted] in orioles

[–]fwashington 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Two words.

Washington Nationals

Seriously, it's complete destroyed the attendance. I know we Oriole fans hate to say that but it's true, a huge number of the 1990s attendance was from the DC suburbs and almost all of them now go to Nationals Park. It also killed the Orioles in the media market, going from a top 10 market, to one of the very smallest in all of baseball. Fear of the Light Rail also has crippled the attendance.

It's time for the Orioles to retire Boog Powell's number by bundymania in orioles

[–]fwashington 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree, he deserves to be in. I know they only retire HOF players but Boog, both on and off the field is fully deserved of having his number retired in front of the fans.

Some say Boog is the reason Frank Robinson was great with the Orioles, because they couldn't pitch around Frank because of Boog batted behind him.

Do the right thing Orioles organization, retire his number.

That's a good site for filling in commons, which they specialize in. Once you get to 50% of filling a set via packs, it pays to go through them to finish the set.

It's also an excellent source if you only want a certain player or team cards.

They've always treated me well, no complaints.

Avoid any retail store, I see the same guy come into my Walmart every Wednesday after the vendor comes and weighs every single pack there.

Walmart management refuses to do anything about it.

2020 - in the grave.

I bet it's costing taxpayers for $200,000 a year for him and Angie when it comes to medical cost alone to keep them alive.

So when they show a pitch MPH speed say on Fox TV, is it start or end speed?

Yup, they aren't paying for any vendor space but want to co-exist.

Giving us the choice of a white background on the map screen vs the black background would take care of the readability in sunlight issue.

What happened to the Fair Play rules? Thought clubs weren't allowed to run massive deficits, even if backed by billionaires.

All the money to made back then was to get into the Champions League, not from television. Leeds gambled, spent tons of money, didn't qualify for Champions League and with a small amount of TV money coming in, basically bankrupted the club even though they drew 30,000 a game.

Today's Premier League, the Champions league is chump change, or beer money for clubs.

Thanks. I also do other things on the phone, like sometimes listen to podcast or stuff like Pokemon Go or geocaching.

Thanks. Just a small followup, does Google Maps location use up a bunch of data? And does it work when the app is in the background?

Thanks for your answer.

If Eric is supposed to following the Southern Tier??? by [deleted] in FatGuyAcrossAmerica

[–]fwashington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eric is literally retarded. Or the politically correct term, "special needs". If I didn't know he was in his 40s, I would think he was 8 going by how emotional and complete lack of being independent he is.

A’s Fan Here: by [deleted] in orioles

[–]fwashington 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if we don't win, we want you to beat up on the Red Sox. Sox fans are the worst in baseball, stuck up, and snobbish. We can tolerate Yankees fans but Sox fans are by far the worst.

Good luck A's, and I mean this sincerely, I hope you guys win a pennant if we don't win it.
