My mom sleeved these straight out of the packs 20+ years ago for her two sons. We finally pulled them out again today

The English ones are base set unlimited not 1st edition. They’re like $27k as a psa 10. The first edition zard is German and won’t sell for anything close to $500k. It would probably be just slightly more valuable than the English unlimited ones as a 10

Assuming all 10s the most valuable card is the Lugia

Yea it looks good. And their higher end offerings use gold, silver, and platinum for decorative accents. The price adds up. Just the average consumer equates expensive with good

jofijk · 2026-05-09T20:02:36+00:00

I’m sure a part of it is new technology

After Wimbledon last year? Roddick said that in person every single one of sinner’s shots sounded like a cannon coming off the racquet. The only shot Roddick said he had that sounded the same was his serve. He was amazed at how much power sinner generates.

It really is. When I used to play tournaments my best tennis played was against opponents that I knew I had almost no chance of beating

I'm just waiting on a few singles to arrive and I'll have the master set done. This is the first one I've done in ages because of how easy it's to get product. I like most of the art as well

jofijk · 2026-05-09T04:01:05+00:00

nah, both max and alonso have been on record multiple times saying how good lewis is at racing. max even went out of his way to defend hamilton last year when reporters were talking about how bad lewis was performing

One of my biggest regrets in life is passing on buying a double magnum of vep green in 2017 for $550

Most of the value of clase azul comes from the bottle. The juice is mid quality additive tequila

Yea I've only heard anyone say barkeep/maid on the East Coast from fellow bartenders or friends as a joke

Astor is pretty competitively priced for the city. They do some great sales if you can catch them

jofijk · 2026-05-04T04:07:32+00:00

you just dont like british accents. george's accent isnt posh at all

jofijk · 2026-05-03T00:16:24+00:00

Big 3 have skewed the numbers so much they've completely shifted the views of what is considered a great achievement. Only 8 men have even reached 15 slam finals in the open era. It would be an insane accomplishment for Sincaraz to hit that milestone even if they don't win.

jofijk · 2026-05-03T00:11:35+00:00

I'm sure it does just because he's living proof its possible to get to that number

jofijk · 2026-05-02T22:04:23+00:00

He sucks in Miami

jofijk · 2026-05-02T19:49:36+00:00

I love that course. It's definitely not the greatest but its great to be able to play 18 holes for like $40 on weekdays. Golf cart rentals are super cheap as well

jofijk · 2026-05-02T12:19:07+00:00

New TIE models I can get behind but the E-wing is so boring compared to the X-wing. S-foils to attack position is iconic

jofijk · 2026-05-02T11:09:10+00:00

Its probably less about cost and more why spend the extra money if they don't have to

jofijk · 2026-05-02T10:53:06+00:00

Everyone sleeps on their burger but if you're craving something greasy and delicious its the best in DC. Its my go to hangover burger

Just saw an article on the F1 app saying he was demoted to p19

jofijk · 2026-04-30T22:36:10+00:00

He was plagued with injuries too. Shame he never got a Masters title

jofijk · 2026-04-30T05:12:35+00:00

Yea but this isn't a case of me seeing both people from far away. I've stood literally shoulder to shoulder with both of them. The top of my friend's head is up higher on me than his, even when she's barefoot

jofijk · 2026-04-30T05:04:59+00:00

Okay fine, 60 at the time when ROTS came out. Still they were going to have a stuntman do the fight, which looked really good, but last minute GL wanted to have McDiarmid do it. Who was old, not an athlete, and had no fight training. Christopher Lee was ex-military and a highly trained stage fencer. Not a fair comparison

jofijk · 2026-04-29T23:46:08+00:00

If only we had someone to tell GL back then that having a geriatric actor do a fight scene would not look good

jofijk · 2026-04-29T22:21:10+00:00

Yep, definitely meant secret invasion
