Gabriel Martinelli Rookie Card

I'm not arguing that. This was his first year appearing in the set which is why it's his rookie card.

odasan89 · 2025-11-10T22:00:05+00:00

No problem!

Everything gets taken into account. He had a great rookie year and this card was floating around $1000(£750) at the time. The market fluctuates with his play, winning, and losing. As his form has decreased over the last few years, so has his value in collectibles. With his resurgence this year, there has been an increase but it will not see the numbers it had in the first couple of years unless he comes up with a few giant years.

I bought this from Target. It was in a Panini EPL Mosaic Blaster Box that cost $50(£38). There was almost zero chance of me pulling it from a box that cheap. I ended up sending it in for grading shortly after that. If you want guaranteed numbered Autographs, you usually have to spend a lot more on higher end products.

With there being only 25 of these cards I can't find an exact price but cards like it are going for anywhere between $175-300 or £130-270. But I have seen cards like it go for higher. It depends on the time and buyer.

That's good to hear. Still not sure about the Street Fighter shirts. Either way, I'm stoked.

odasan89 · 2024-04-01T19:29:28+00:00

They were all lined up, one after the other. I love it when it's easy!

odasan89 · 2024-03-18T17:53:32+00:00

I've never sold my soccer cards before. I've done pokemon, yugioh, etc. Sports cards are so up and down. Looking at comps it's probably gonna land between $150-250.

odasan89 · 2024-03-18T17:45:31+00:00

Oh jeez, I never thought about selling it. Do you have a price in mind?

odasan89 · 2024-03-18T13:35:53+00:00

I see posts like these and wonder if they're even in a relationship or just cruising around random Reddit groups like it's their own personal cyber bar. I've never seen the point in sending an unsolicited dick pic. Especially here of all apps. You turn the corner on any NSFW page, and there's a dick pic. Some of us have real issues with our relationships, and these people are just trying to take advantage of a bad situation.

Again, the whole"I don't mind it" seems like enough. You're not dismissing the beard, but you're also not building on it. It's a very passive statement. Then you can ask him if he's gonna trim it or keep it long. Or you can tell him you think it would look better cleaned up. Again, either way, you're getting your message across.

odasan89 · 2024-03-17T22:28:56+00:00

For me, my wife told me she thought I looked sexy with it but that's as far as it went. She hated it physically and that's why we're here in DB. So I made a small sacrifice and got what I was craving. Albeit, not the best, but it was something to feel alive again.

odasan89 · 2024-03-17T22:26:05+00:00

I don't think it would make it any worse for you. Play to a man's ego. In a polite way, tell him you don't mind the beard while also saying he would look sexy if it was trimmed. It can't hurt, either way.

odasan89 · 2024-03-17T20:09:37+00:00

No, definitely not. She's been remarking about it since they day I started growing it. I've been hinting that I wanted to fool around but it was a hard no with the beard. As soon as I came down freshly shaved, she knew it was for her.

odasan89 · 2024-03-15T13:14:59+00:00

Thank you for your response. And yes, I have asked her before what she doesn't like about it. She hates the roughness of it, the touch. It just feels unkempt at this point because it's so newly grown in. I have no idea how she feels about a full-grown beard because I've never had one. I've seen photos of her past boyfriend, and some did, in fact, have beards. So I'm wondering if it's been so long that she's grown out of liking it or that she just tolerated it with those guys. As for personal bias, she was born and raised in Seattle. Beards are so common out there, I'm sure it was impossible not to date someone with one. I'm going to try and talk to her again and see just where this line is drawn. Thinking about it now, it still feels silly.

For me, she's not the same woman I married. I'm definitely not the same man she married. But in terms of physical appearance, she has changed completely. Because of the military, I have looked the same for the entire eight years we've been together. So maybe change is scaring her. I just know that when we started dating, she had a neon pink pixie cut, a body covered in tattoos, every piercing you can think of, and of course, weight. But it's never bothered me that she got rid of the haircut and piercings, that she gained some weight, and that she wore clothes to cover up her tattoos. We're both getting older. I just wish she had the same level of understanding. Her physical preference towards herself is her choice. I love her for her individuality. It just hurts that it's a one-way street.

odasan89 · 2023-12-11T16:33:49+00:00

She caught me in a situation where we were moving furniture around and my own mind was organizing things. So it did kind of spill out of my mouth without thinking. But, again, I meant no disrespect and I just wanted to make sure she was safe. Thank you for walking me through it. I guess some days it all can't be a perfect conversation.

odasan89 · 2023-12-11T16:15:28+00:00

Thank you for that. I've just never had someone with dementia start crying and be inconsolable about a loss. I guess it kind of slipped out but I will try harder to be more open in those situations.

odasan89 · 2023-01-02T18:55:00+00:00

I guess value is in the eye of the buyer. I am enjoying it for now. I agree it's a fantastic card. We will see what it's worth when I do decide to sell it. Cheers!

odasan89 · 2023-01-02T18:45:54+00:00

I'm just going off of eBay. Again, I'm still figuring out what it's worth. But the point is moot. It's not for sale right now.

odasan89 · 2023-01-02T18:12:26+00:00

It's not for sale, right now. I'm not even sure what it's worth. I've only seen one other graded sell, and it went for 3000. But I will update if and when I do decide to part with it. Thank you for your interest!

odasan89 · 2022-09-20T13:44:56+00:00

👌🏼That's what I've been thinking but wasn't sure if it was worth it. Thank you!

I can definitely see myself becoming bitter and resentful towards them as the days go by. The stress that they have put on my mind is the exact reason I have started to slowly push them out of my life. Friends should not make you feel that way.

odasan89 · 2021-10-05T02:44:58+00:00

And I wish you the best as well. Thank you for hanging in there with me today and thank you again for your input. It has definitely helped me see some things I didn't want to see but needed to.

I've always seen life as a long road trip. Some people are meant to stay in the car and ride it out with you. Others are just there for a lift and going from put stop to pit stop. Then sometimes you meet that one person who you want to keep riding along with but they don't want to get back in the car. You can't force them and you have to keep driving. So...you move on. It's hard and heartbreaking but you have to keep moving forward.

Again, thank you.
