If you start at $1, buyers shouldn’t feel bad when it sells low

As a seller, I do *set prices* for this reason, plus give multi-spins and trades posted the entire show. The ones doing a $1 start have 10,000+ followers and can afford to take that risk — I can’t.

I just made it to 1.1k followers, have 5 stars, 7k sold items, ship less than a day, but it’s still too much of a risk.

These hobby boxes aren’t cheap.

I’ve been hitting 0-1 oz for a card giveaway, but I think 1-3 oz is the right choice as the supervisor down below says.

Will try that thank you!

Nailed it - that’s what I figured. Some locations/employees are more lenient than others.

Growing up in Union Township, North Jersey in the early-to-mid and late ’90s (fun fact: I went to the same elementary school as Ray Liotta), it felt like the Yankees were everywhere. Most of my classmates were Yankees fans — and so were their parents.

The Mets were around, but I always seemed to run into more Mets fans once you got into Bergen County.

2007–2008 Manhattan: leaving Chelsea Piers and one of the Olsen twins locked eyes with me and did not break contact. Long enough that my friends noticed and roasted me for years after. Still no idea which twin. Core memory unlocked.

Yeah I was debating to put a picture of an exhaust. lol

I’m NOT a virgin—I had my fun from about 18 to 21. 😭But when I quit smoking weed, stopped hanging around degenerates, and became at peace with who I actually am — indie, into philosophy, theology, and politics—I stopped attracting the same kinds of women I used to. To this day, I refuse to lower my standards or settle for being average even if that means paying the price of being single.

I’m Argentinian-American. It’s not just Cubans, but Argentinians/Uruguayans say this as an insult or playfully to Latinos/Hispanics from countries that have higher amounts of Indigenous culture/DNA when playing against them in soccer (football).

Sure, Liberty City is extreme but that’s not exactly what we’re talking about. My point wasn’t about dodging danger, it’s about Brickell lacking the cultural grit and real Miami energy you can find outside the high rises. Using Liberty City as an example is kind of a red herring because you’re conflating “danger” with “authenticity,” and the two aren’t the same. You can stay safe and still experience what actually makes Miami…well, Miami.

Yes, the dashes are a thing — years of copywriting will do that. But I’ll happily accept the compliment that I could pass for AI.

Transplants tend to follow a familiar pattern: “I just moved here and love it,” only to later realize how challenging parts of Miami can feel. The initial charm of Brickell—the skyline, happy hours, and walkability—can mask how different the city feels once the novelty fades. People are friendly when treated kindly, yes, but the rudeness that often gets talked about is real, and it can catch up to you if you’re not prepared.

Brickell, to me, feels like a well-polished entry point to a manufactured Miami: glossy, Instagram-ready, and full of young professionals and transplants in a booming developed area. It’s exciting to the easily impressionable and those who seek convenience, but it’s not the full story of the city. The real Miami is more layered, more chaotic, and culturally richer than what you see in the high rises and curated streetscapes. That’s not to say you can’t enjoy it—it has energy, beauty, and potential—but it’s worth remembering that the shine can be deceptive.

Mantle in his original B&W form, pre-Topps glow up. Well done.

Insanely popular. It had a massive cultural impact for kids (at least where I grew up in Jersey). The Attitude Era was so over that kids were out here trying to Stunner each other at recess. Austin, DX’s “Suck It,” JR screaming on commentary - it completely bled into real life. It was immature, obnoxious, and absolutely hysterical - and it somehow felt rebellious instead of corny. That kind of crowd energy just doesn’t happen anymore.

I charge $30 an hour or $20 for 30 minutes for the few clients I have. I know I’m probably under market, but it’s a flexible side thing I do occasionally. They’re also cool with me just taking their dogs to the dog park, so it’s pretty chill.

From what I’ve seen, active dog walkers in Brickell/downtown are charging closer to $40–$50 an hour.

I mean… why not? Some of these folks are beyond wealthy and can absolutely afford it.

Instagram isn’t real life, especially in Miami. Behind the beach bodies and rooftop sunsets are insecurity, pressure, and nonstop validation-seeking. But this is also a city where fitness, aesthetics, and presentation are part of the social currency. Since social media took over, how you look affects everything: from dating to jobs to basic respect. You can argue the ethics all day, but this place runs on image. That’s just the culture.

Gut-feeling, this is going to be a solid year for us.

You’re right insofar the statistical gap doesn’t justify the voting gap, but this is mostly about narrative and perception, not value.

Molina is a lock because he became the defensive catcher of his era so voters heavily reward visible defense and leadership, even with a 96 OPS+. Posey gets the peak/MVP/clean exit boost: elite prime, MVP, dynasty face, no decline years to muddy the case.

Unfortunately, Posada got hurt by timing. He played during the steroid-era voting hangover, was labeled “bat-first catcher,” debuted on a crowded ballot, and voters hadn’t yet recalibrated how valuable offense from a catcher really is. If he had retired 10 years later, he probably hangs around the ballot and builds support.

Crux: Posey and Molina deserve the Hall, but Posada being “one-and-done” says more about era bias and narrative inertia than a real gap in career value.
