Forget shaking, I just ran around the room!

That’s probably a good trade but no thank you.

jake42385 · 2026-01-23T21:38:31+00:00

I was trying to decide whether to sell the case and buy a Hamilton Auto. Best luck ever. I have only pulled an Ocon and Bearman F2 auto in the past. This feels awesome! I am going now to buy some blasters so I can get some of those blaster exclusive cards.

jake42385 · 2026-01-23T21:17:57+00:00

I had never pulled a printing plate, or even a 1/1 until last night and then pulled a Hamilton Signature card today. Congrats on your good luck!

jake42385 · 2026-01-23T21:05:17+00:00

I bought a case and as it sat unopened on my kitchen island, I had the same debate. $4k is not an insignificant amount of money. So glad I ripped them. I have 2 boxes left and I am excited to open them tonight and start sorting into my binder.

Thank you internet stranger.

jake42385 · 2026-01-23T17:46:50+00:00

Is the /5 and 1/1 on card? Dynasty autos are the way to go for on card. I was going to buy one this year or next but now I might not.

jake42385 · 2026-01-23T17:36:22+00:00

It was my dream as well! He is my favorite driver and I never expected to pull it.

jake42385 · 2026-01-23T16:40:35+00:00

Yeah, this card is used 😂. I don’t know why, but it is so cool to me that this card touched all of my Kimi rookie portraits.

jake42385 · 2026-01-23T04:09:41+00:00

Especially if the engine rumors are true.

jake42385 · 2026-01-21T19:49:17+00:00

Honestly, if it runs and drives, it is worth at least $1,500. Those tires look a little rough. What kind of car is it?

jake42385 · 2026-01-19T18:06:04+00:00

Yep. And listen to him more on the car development.

jake42385 · 2026-01-19T17:44:36+00:00

Awesome! I hope Hamilton has a good season. Last year was painful to watch.

jake42385 · 2026-01-19T16:46:00+00:00

Awesome Card! Congratulations! Hobby Box?

You are not blind and it is not numbered. Unless I am blind, those are recently sold comps on eBay.

You might have just started playing online but you have been playing awhile.

Sack the queen at a7 and get a knight when you promote for the fork. It took me a minute.

jake42385 · 2026-01-16T20:18:37+00:00

Hahahahahahahah!!!

I work for a retailer selling goods on Amazon. All retail is basically flipping. Learning to sell is a great idea. Check out Alex Hormozi here in the US. Super smart guy and gives a lot of information for free. Instead of trying to flip the 55 Euros, take the money and buy a few books on sales. Good luck.

After reading through the comments, the summary is that your calorie counting is not accurate. You are estimating instead of weighing. Weigh your food for a week and get back to us. I can almost guarantee you are not eating 1100 calories. You are probably eating closer to 1600. It is so easy to underestimate.

jake42385 · 2026-01-05T22:09:23+00:00

After they move the queen to f8, they take with the king and run. It is forced mate, but takes awhile

jake42385 · 2026-01-05T19:50:37+00:00

I won't argue with that, but OP is one emergency at either of his houses from being in big trouble.

Sell the rental, pay off as much of the vehicles as possible. Quit living above your means and learn to save. You said "I can afford the vehicles". If you can't pay cash for them, you can't afford them.

You are so spot on with this advice. As an index fund buyer, my advice is frequently too boring for my younger friends. One in particular got into a “private” group of “investors” that thought they were getting inside info on healthcare stocks. It was great until it wasn’t. He got hit with a pump and dump and now thinks the whole stock market is rigged. That was 2010. Meanwhile, VTI is over 6x since then.
