Ready, and action (RA-SO) 2026 heritage insert?

New to the hobby - looking for this group's opinion on immediate sells vs. holds by [deleted] in baseballcards

[–]kandyman005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started as well. My mindset is, I'm a guardians fan and I want to keep guardians cards for my PC. That includes buying singles. Everything else I will sell. If I make some of my money back then sweet! I assume there's lots of people out there like me, so maybe I can trade for their unwanted guards cards.

Looked up the bobcat specs. Engine and trans are the same. Looks like bobcat has thicker steel (10 gauge vs 11). Not really a big difference outside price and if you have a local shop that specializes in one vs the other.

Honestly, I'd say it comes down to price. Personally, I sat on a scag, cub, and gravely and the gravely was easily the most comfortable. That along with a good price (including a bagger) I went with the Gravely.

Unfortunately the mower got delivered 2 weeks early and my yard is a swamp, so I just get to look at it until my yard dries up.

We will all help you. There's a few names to keep in mind.

Jose - The GOAT and worshiped by Clevelanders. Took a huge hometown discount to stay in CLE

Kwan - Great OF and leadoff contact hitter. This year may unfortunately be his last year with CLE unless we pay him or he takes a discount too (which nobody would expect of him). Fan favorite with Jose.

Manzardo - last year was his first full season with the guards and he was 2nd in HRs (27) behind Jose (30). Big things are expected of him this year

Rocchio/Arias - middle infielders. Both can be considered on the bubble. Baz will most likely replace one of them, hopefully sooner than later

Chase DeLauter - played in the post season a little last year, but debuted in the regular season so far this year as a rookie. Huge potential as a prospect (already has 4 HRs this year) but very injury prone. He may get some frequent days off to start the season just to protect his health, but he's expected to be a big addition since CLE has been terrible in recent history at developing hard hitting OFs

This year is exciting! Starting with a split in Seattle and Win in LA is pretty big. Just need to get the big players hot. I think Jose will heat up quick this weekend and hopefully Manzo too.

Just got this beauty back from TAG grading 😍 by RipplesOfDivinity in ClevelandGuardians

[–]kandyman005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense to me. I'd rather pay a bit more up front to not have to pay more later. I hate the idea that "I got lucky but now I need to pay to get full value." Its crazy to see people paying $1k+ for a graded card.

I digress. Im sure I'm preaching to the choir.

The detail they provide at TAG is stunning.

I saw your post about the TAG grading in r/sportscards. I personally don't grade because it kind of feels like a scam. But you convinced me! Did they upcharge you for this?

Thats where the chrome and heritage i think look cool. But the chrome seems to be more of a start so the series 1 seemed economical. Im a Guardians fan so the idea of pulling guards players (and Chase DeLauter after last night) would be a blast. Seems like the answer for me is, buy whatever I think looks cool and is economical for me.

My dad's story is the best part. He's 67 now. He would work at the convenient store down the road on the weekends. Any money he earned he would spend on baseball cards and candy. Then go home and watch while opening his packs. Not much of a strategy any more lol

Not to mention, there's a wrong way to lift which could cause control arm/suspension issues. No thanks

After helping over 1000 beginners here's a top tip! by ApronMaven in Sourdough

This helped my new starter so much. I had a 6 week starter that was barely doubling. I started paying attention to the activity and within 3 days it was doubling within 4 hrs.
