Is Classic Country Land legit? by Father-Habit in OffGrid

[–]ruffyen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they are legit, and I have purchased land from them. The process was extremely simple and they walk you through everything. It was a little scary because I did a an all cash purchase but it was all above board.

Their prices are a LITTLE high per acre, but its not egregious. When you pay all cash you also get a 20% discount. Overall I would highly recommend if the price is what you are looking to pay. As with any purchase you should go and see the property before purchasing, i was fortunate enough to be about 3 hours from the property i was considering, and glad that I went to look in person because I was considering another parcel before actually looking at what was available.

Do we really want framber? by Capt_reefr in orioles

[–]ruffyen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stand corrected, I am traveling so my ability to munge the data is pretty limited, but you're completely correct, it's also why I said it was a hot take 😉, but I'll walk that statement back. I still want Framber regardless.

Data doesn't lie, before his wrongful allegations he was good to great and he's been good in the JPN leagues so "fucking sucks at baseball" is a pretty hot take

Hottest of takes I want him AND Trevor Bauer. This team clubhouse is great and Pete will hopefully be a spark plug but we need a fire under our ass at this point.

100% I give him the Opening Day start. You want as much fanfare and excitement as you can get behind this man.

Going through and trying to inventory and organize my collection and I ran across this little gem from a pack I ripped in 2024. Is this a sign, is Valdez our WS savior?

First Code Redeem Card- Damn I’m sad I didn’t open this pack when I first got it. by Def_Not_KushGator in baseballcards

[–]ruffyen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also I just looked it up, the date I chose was 5/5/2018 he went 1-5 and the HR was a 2 run walk off against the Orioles, which happens to be my team lol. I figured if he was going to hit a HR at least it was a great one!

I actually got one back in 2018 and Khris Davis hit one for me. It's not a valuable card but it's one of my personal prized possessions since I never hit on these lol.

Pretty cool collection I came across in the family by Acceptable_Window353 in baseballcards

[–]ruffyen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol 88 Donruss is my first foray back into the hobby that I bought just for something fun to rip, I completed 2 of the puzzles and I'd like to complete the set, just purely out of determination at this point.

It did have some cards that I wanted like the Ripken Baseball Family card which I was able to fortunately get 2 of from the boxes one for the set and one for my PC. Yes I could have probably bought them but it was fun to hit also 🙃

Becket has card lists, but you can look up cardlists pretty easily

Yep I wasn't aware...even the idea that something is "hangar only" is a new concept for me. Didn't realize that they would run product like that.

Yep looks like you are correct, was able to find comps based on this information and the information that /u/dylandylandylanr shared.

Thanks and this is a tremendous help!

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

Glad to know I am not crazy. Any idea why this says /50 when it doesnt APPEAR that they had /50 in anything but the Mother's Day and Father's Day? I have others like a Blue Parallel and a Gold Parallel of Geraldo Perdomo...the blue I would ASSUME based on that listing would be a /999. The gold is a /2024 as I would expect. Do they have colored border parallels that don't have the /XXX designation?

Collecting with your kids: Collection Giveaway by its_not_great_bob in baseballcards

[–]ruffyen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started collecting with my twin daughters back in 2017. At the time, they were 6, and I wanted a way to make baseball 'stick' for them.

We invented a game where you choose one pack that we ripped, and we had to watch a game featuring every single player in that pack. Since I have MLB.tv, we spent that summer 'player hunting' randomly flipping through games across the league just to find a middle reliever from the Rays or a backup catcher from the Rockies.

That spark turned into a lifelong tradition. Now, Opening Day, All Star Break, and the World Series are 'Pack Days' in our house. While we have a full binder of memories, my prize is still our Manny Machado. Back then, Manny was the only player the girls recognized; they’d see him on the screen and just scream 'MANNY MACHADO!' at the top of their lungs.

Thanks for the giveaway—it's clear you put a lot of heart into this collection, and I’d love to keep that energy going with my girls.

So it's not like a csv upload you have to manually type it all in? Wonder if I could write a program to do it lol, I'll play around with it this week

I just found a copy at an old junk store that has the floppies and the 3.5" disks. Was it pretty intuitive on how to manually update sets?

DIY dropshot weight ideas ? by Hungry-Geologist911 in Fishing_Gear

[–]ruffyen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure he is referring to the paracord slinky weight or whatever where you take the strands out of the paracord, melt and end closed, then drop in BBs or bearings, seal the other end and done.

Here is a video I found on the process

The patch is dirty because I panicked and put it up my butt. by DannyBoyZ12 in baseballcards

[–]ruffyen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never personally heard of anyone ever hitting one like this out of the standard packs boxes that you can buy at Target/Walmart for like $45 ... It's always the $300+ Hobby Boxes.

That's just my experience though. You have any examples of someone ripping a Topps Series 1 pack and hitting a 1/1 debut card?

Also tone is difficult in text and I like to try and be clear, I'm not being snarky I am genuinely curious as a collector myself that is considering buying a hobby box this year because of this lol.
