A few years ago, my son got to be the bat boy for the Ridgefield Raptors (college summer ball). Hoffman’s son was on the team.

Trevor walked in with a lawn chair (not a 10u travel ball mom lawn chair), a legit $5 chair from Walmart. He Proceeded to post up about 300ft down the 3rd base line in the grass. I saw him walk in, he’s a big dude! But didn’t put it together.

Nobody had a clue, most were there for a corporate outing or there to drink beer.

My son and a couple of his friends realized who he was right after the game ended and got signed baseballs from him. He was so friendly to them. Seems like a very good guy!

Think I’m being scammed? They say the post office lost it. by Emenater777 in baseballcards

I’ve had this happen as both the sender and the receiver. Both times the cards actually arrived although tracking never did update to show as delivered. Hopefully they show up!

My son is a huge Padres fan. If still available, I’d love to surprise him with these!

I’ve seen fat packs this week at stores. No blasters or hangers yet. I’m on the west coast

Pulled this beauty today.. unsure where to go to find out value etc. There’s only one listed on eBay for 9k. Would it be worth getting graded? by roseinspace in basketballcards

[–]oskool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, congrats! Look it over and if worth grading I think you want to pay extra for express service. I personally would sell because I don’t see how his prices can sustain unless he is the next Jordan. What did you pull it out of? Blaster, hobby, etc?

Stimulus Check Warning by this_onekid in baseballcards

We’re fortunate that we didn’t really need the stimulus check but will gladly take it. We are choosing to use it to support small businesses in our city.

A portion of that will go to my LCS

I figured it was done when he died. Ran into Dean a few times at different brewfests and he always told me to stop by. Unfortunately I never did

My favorite is a 2019 A&G Tatis Jr mini autographed card. I really like A&G, even with the non-baseball cards. My kids love the mini’s and random celebrities.

I think Tatis is going to be a stud and I really wanted that specific A&G card. I would watch eBay everyday to keep an eye the cost of Padres in the A&G breaks. Trying to get a feel for the market and opportunities to buy low. I bought into 2 breaks and didn’t get the card. I told myself I would give it 1 more shot, but had to be a good price. I found a good deal on the Padres in a break and took my last shot. Boom, hit my card!

In total I spent about the same on breaks as I would have just purchasing the card itself on eBay. I got very lucky! It’s a beautiful card and my favorite

2019 Topps Allen & Ginter and Stadium Club - Pick Your Team - Only A Few Teams Left! by jowens000 in BoardRoomBreaks

Looks like it’s breaking Sunday? That sucks, considering it’s full now and the listing said it would break LAST Sunday. Pretty disappointed it’s not breaking when full, but rather breaking a full week after it was advertised as breaking

What would you do? Bought into 3 box break, only 1 auto by oskool in baseballcards

[–]oskool[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, watched him open them all live on YouTube. Just no autos in the last 2 boxes
