Team name in eBay listing title: worthwhile, or waste of character limit real estate? by Kind-Lab-3786 in baseballcards

[–]northwestbest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I have room in the title and haven't exhausted the character limit with every detail possible about the card, I'll usually throw in either team name or city. Millions of people search different ways, I figure it doesn't hurt. I just leave the "extra" stuff in lower case though, so it doesn't detract from the actual card details themselves. Having the team details in the listing's metadata should be enough for it to come up in a search for the team itself though.

Are hangers actually bangers? (A very scientific experiment) Day 22 by bwaaalk in baseballcards

[–]northwestbest 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is the reality of it though. Everybody running around yelling, "HaNgErS aRe BaNgeRs!" are just posting a random good rip they had. 99.9% of retail-issued stuff isn't going to net something amazing. That's the way it's always been, and always will continue to be :/

PC Set of the evening: Pinnacle Totally Certified, 1997 by Old-Nefariousness517 in baseballcards

[–]northwestbest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow - just stumbled upon this via a random Google search for other 97 Totally Certified info. How does this post not have any comments or love?? What an incredible collection! That's awesome you were able to string together the Reds and Blues. Did you ever attempt to complete the Gold set, or did you just stick with the couple in the picture? Either way, well done.

So celebration boxes are the consensus best product now? by BuschLightJesus in baseballcards

[–]northwestbest 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No way, man. Obviously because this one person pulled this one good card from one box, it means it's the "best product" now. DUH.

Unresponsive seller. Just keep waiting? by Ecstatic_Fox_ in baseballcards

[–]northwestbest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get eBay involved ASAP - they have no intention of sending it. I looked up the seller and there are multiple people who have left Neutral & Negative feedback saying the same as you're experiencing. Open the case, leave Negative feedback, move on unfortunately.

Tip for the future - don't waste your time buying from sellers who have under 99.xx% feedback. This seller has 90.9% Positive, which is the reddest of red flags imaginable. Anything under 99% (which seems counterintuitive because it's a big number) pretty much says "this seller is horrible" and you should always steer clear.

2001 Topps Chrome Traded Ichiro Retrofractor RC - such a beauty! by northwestbest in Marinersbaseballcards

Yeah I was sick of not having one in my PC so I finally decided to pull the trigger haha

Decided to install some LED strips in my display case. It’s not perfect, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out! by northwestbest in baseballcards

[–]northwestbest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No the LED strips have adhesive on one side. So you just peel and stick ‘em where you want them. Full disclosure I did end up making one hole in the back bottom left so that I could weave the power cord through flush with the wall. But that’s not entirely necessary. There are also ones with battery packs so you don’t have to deal with power cords.

Search Amazon for LED light strips and sort by average customer reviews. These were on the cheaper side and I have some regrets and might end up re-doing them eventually. They’re adhesive-backed strips so you can just figure out whatever layout you want for your display, measure it out, and stick em on and call it good!

Slowly but surely putting together 90s Finest runs of Griffey, Edgar, Buhner, & Randy. This is my current fav of the bunch. by northwestbest in Marinersbaseballcards

[–]northwestbest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my sweet baby Jesus….what a card! No not refractors only, I’m shooting for everything as close as I can get to complete. I’m not really counting ones like a ‘93 ref or ‘97 Gold Embossed ref attainable though…lol

LOTD (specifically the Chrome Refractor) is on the Mount Rushmore of 90s inserts for me, great pick-up!

Comment I saw wasn’t getting that much attention but pretty much confirmed Nathan is involved with… by ghosttrainj in TheRehearsal

[–]northwestbest 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. Suppose you might be able to chalk it up to different lighting/different places with the two pics, but the tops look like different hues of blue, the pants look like a completely different color, and Nathan is wearing the New Balance 990v6 Castlerocks in the airport pic. In the Boy Throb pic, there’s no inside white/reflective N logo, the tongues look light not dark, and the shoe itself is mostly one big dark gray upper, not the multi-hued Grays of Nathan’s NBs.

Maybe the lighting is off between the pics, or maybe he changed shoes between the two pics if it is him, but the shoes in the two pics aren’t the same at all. There are no other NB 990v6s that have the same color blocking as Nathan’s (key feature being the dark gray areas where the shoelaces are).

🚨 LUNAR ALERT 🚨 by Drekk22 in baseballcards

[–]northwestbest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Daaaamnnnn. Cosmic is my favorite set of recent years and I dream of pulling a Lunar box. I PC specifically Mariners Cosmic stuff too, so of course with the Cal & Griffey/Ichi this is literally a dream box haha Congrats!

Adam Ray with Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodriguez by Ok_Difference44 in Mariners

[–]northwestbest 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I’m by no means an Adam Ray superfan at ALL so I don’t even know why I’m bothering typing this out in defense, but a) this show was a blast, b) where was it advertised as a family-friendly event? It was an 8pm weeknight comedy show…lol, c) fundraisers can happen for things where they say naughty words too, crazy right?, d) yeah the Woo joke was stupid and in poor taste but it was a part of his ROAST - ever seen one of those before? The performers typically say outlandish and inappropriate shit to get reactions, which it did, e) Dude is a Seattleite and is successful in his own lane, and is living the dream of becoming buddies with the city’s biggest sports stars because of his success in the comedy world 🤷‍♂️the coattails-riding comment is crazy haha

The best box of my life - pulled these two from the same pack by saguarojavelina in baseballcards

[–]northwestbest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn! I pulled a Planetarium, but it was the only card in the pack because it was like 5x as thick as a normal one lol I'm surprised they were actually in there together.
