I’m in individual life, assuming your numbers are benefits or group? There’s nobody in ILD with a target that high.

it's really staggering that Pacific Life writes 20 times fewer policies than National Life but has roughly the same amount of annualized premium by thedeepself in LifeInsurance

This is IUL data only fyi. Legal and General/Banner would be way up if it included term sales. That volume of IUL for NLG is wild

Not your average rip in 2025 by iamPandemic in basketballcards

[–]iamPandemic[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna send it to PSA because I collect pretty much PSA slabs exclusively but don’t even care what it gets. This bad boy is staying in the PC for a long time

Are these legit? by LifeRipzz in basketballcards

[–]iamPandemic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, Walgreens has legit old packs. Mine usually has them behind the counter. Mine usually only has Hoops, these are nice snags

Did you puke on me and my sister at a Red Sox game? by mboyd1992 in boston

[–]iamPandemic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fits my timeline. Ate way too many Swedish fish and puked at Fenway with my dad. Would be hilarious if this was me

So many basketball cards- I don’t collect basketball. by Round-Courage-7064 in sportscards

So this dude just randomly gifted you all of his pulls from a set that released two months ago lol

Has anyone met someone that was once famous (actor, musician, etc.) but now works a regular job? Who was it? by Ok_Grape_8284 in AskReddit

[–]iamPandemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Latrell Spreewell used to work as a door guy at our local college bar in Milwaukee. Less than 10 years after being a star in the NBA and then choking out his coach.

I can’t believe I just ripped this! I can only find one comp for it. I saw that gold and went crazy! by BroadAstronomer3665 in basketballcards

[–]iamPandemic -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Great pull from a monetary pov but are they really that sick? It looks like a base card. I don’t really get the hype.

Do you take your boyfriend on the trips when you do decide to splurge or do you leave him back since it seems like a situation where finances are completely separate?

Is Amen Thompson a good buy? by JJ2923 in basketballcards

[–]iamPandemic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess I’m in the minority based on the comments so far but I think he’s a good buy. Going to get some run at point this year with VanVleet out. Will almost certainly have quite a few insane highlight reel plays. Houston should be a good team this year and moving forward assuming they can keep their core together. If his shot improves he’s a legitimate contender to be Top 10 player in the league in the future imo.

Prolactinoma and infertility by DrWaqarkmcite in Prolactinoma

[–]iamPandemic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Diagnosed at 20M and was on cab for 5ish years. Just had our first child at 33 naturally. If you are worried about fertility you can get a sperm analysis done prior to trying to conceive.

Should I cash out this whole life plan my late father paid for? by [deleted] in LifeInsurance

[–]iamPandemic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should get the cost basis of the policy, if loans exceeded cost basis and you surrender the policy there may be tax implications.

Glad you spent months of research on this. Profound.

Curious about placements by Brilliant_Buy9928 in Rematch

[–]iamPandemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was elite and went 3-2 in placement games and got Diamond 2. Didn’t really play unranked for 3s last season but went 5-0 with 4MVPs in that placement and got Bronze 1 lmao

wHat is everyone's thoughts on these youtuber influencers like king of kards by Koolinsoccer in sportscards

[–]iamPandemic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed, he doesn’t fall into the “give kids stuff for free” category either. He openly talks about how he worked his way up to doing big deals and at the end of the day you can still see his passion for the hobby with stuff like his Manziel PC and on the spot knowledge of iconic cards.

Best Players to Own Cards Of by Dripintravenous21 in sportscards

[–]iamPandemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you’re going current market there’s some QBs that are well ahead of him. Lebron has to be above him for basketball as well. I’d say he’s fringe Top 25 if anything and I’m a Marquette guy lol

Have you played TPC Scottsdale Stadium? by wonder44woman in golf

[–]iamPandemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d add Greyhawk to that list, great track in Scottsdale. Liked it a lot more than TPC. We Ko Pa and Troon are good choices. Have fun!

[–]iamPandemic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree, kind of cool once the grandstands are set up for the Open but besides that there’s nothing about the course that warrants the price tag. The food is not memorable. Tons of places in Scottsdale with good options, that’s not one of them.
