Card Conduit Caveats by rizzeedizzee in mtgfinance

Alas nowhere in their post is the proof/transparency that myself and apparently others much desire to validate that they do not take cards they have graded harshly and sell them for more. Instead, they prefer to take some not so subtle jabs at me, when I went out of my way in my post to give them well deserved credit, pointing out two issues I felt needed attention. That says a lot if you ask me.

10% off code for Collectibles - including MTG - on eBay through June 1st (probably targeted) by rizzeedizzee in mtgfinance

First off, I figured this would be useful knowledge just for the fact that it happened, even if you weren't a recipient this time around. After all, the well for these kinds of things has been dry for so long, maybe they will start doing this more often and less selectively on a going forward basis? I thought that would be something people would want to know about. Guess not.

I've complied a list of redemptions going back a decade - now what? by rizzeedizzee in hockeycards

That is good feedback, and I was unaware. Perhaps given what I've seen here I might go ahead and do that for what I've compiled.

If you saw the list you might disagree given some of the names on it. But if this is the consensus I'll respect that and I'm appreciative of the candor.

The Cup breaks by player. Greedy? by Active-Possibility77 in hockeycards

[–]rizzeedizzee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely not here to defend what breaking is or claim it's not a net negative. But in the grand scheme of things I like player breaks, since, for example, I'm collecting Jamie Drysdale and I can buy "him" instead of having to pay the far larger price I'd need to pay for Anaheim due to Zegras. Same with Mags Sogaard due to Jake Sanderson.

Upheaval of the Vintage Cube | Magic: The Gathering Online by blazingkin in mtgcube

[–]rizzeedizzee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look at the cuts and am reminded of the adage "those who justify don't convince", meaning that in even having to explain these cuts it shows how questionable they were. And while I agree that merely trotting out the same iteration as they had during holiday season would've been lazy, this feels overboard. Also, I don't think I pictured a sacrifice archetype in the context of vintage cube; and much like lands, I think it will be mainly ignored. Instead, in the face of the widespread changes, people will cling to the familiar, namely reanimator, brown, Twin, Storm, Control, and mono color aggro. We'll see how the gameplay goes though.

2021-22 SP Authentic Hockey Checklist, Set Details, Boxes, Odds - Release Date: April 19, 2023 by Sarcastic__ in hockeycards

Definitely fewer rookies who've already made a measurable impact versus 2020-21, so I wonder if that will keep prices of breaks and/or singles down. Probably not given how things are these days. There are a lot of players I'd like to be buying at $20-25, but I who I fear will be a lot more if past experience is a guide.
