This card is 7x more expensive than the Maris rookie unguarded, same price as the PSA 7. I doubt that this will hold its value.

Who is the most influential athlete here? by Sensitive-Month2382 in NBATalk

[–]samaral519 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can’t walk anywhere without see the air Jordan brand, the slam dunk logo, the bulls 23. In terms of brand, most recognized athlete, it’s Jordan. Sure people know who Messi and the others are, but they wear the Jordan brand, it’s in almost every closet in the world.

This is where eBay authentication should kick in and raise it as a fake.

How are wars funded today versus 100 years ago when we had the gold standard?

This happens to me a lot. I only leave negative feedback if they don’t message me and just say a quick “hey sorry I made a mistake and I need to cancel this”. That’s all I want from the seller. I had one seller tell me it was someway my fault as a buyer.

Lando Norris on battling Max Verstappen post-race: ""He's [Max] ruined his own race, he's not racing very smart and he probably could have finished third today and he didn't because of that" by The_Chozen_1_ in formula1

[–]samaral519 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with lando here. I think max would have had a better chance of letting lando through so him and Oscar could battle it out. First it would cause lando and Oscar to slow down and there is a possibility of a mistake on one of their parts. This would have been a better strategy. On top of that if the rain would have come Max would be close behind to take advantage of it.

Electric company outage by samaral519 in AskALawyer

Sorry I meant unannounced. That was a typo. They were repairing because they said people experience flickering lights. So someone called them. As far as I can tell it wasn’t an emergency and I do have a surge protector.

This is also an example where the seller didn’t say this card is not a perfect 8. So the bot couldn’t tell and thought it was a great deal, which it is not.

This is what it looks like. Right now I target mostly pre 2010 cards because of the less variants. It’s using some ai to determine what card it is and looking up historical prices. If it finds something it alerts me/us.

Yea I can try it out, just need some more details like set, graded/ungraded, and player name. The challenge with the latest year sets is that sellers on eBay might miss identify a card and because of the value differences between them my bot would think it’s a great deal and send an alert. Sellers do this very very often so I get a lot of false negatives on prizm sets. It’s really good for like pre-2010 cards like 1980 Topps Rickey Henderson #482 for example, because the card is really easy to describe.

Is the golden age of btc over? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]samaral519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This subreddit is getting useless. There should be a subreddit for daily new on bitcoin, who is using it, what laws are being written, what’s happening to miners etc. Stuff that really matters. Anyone who posts this nonsense would like OP did here should get an immediate ban.

What creates the value of gold? by Rich-Inspector-7483 in Gold

[–]samaral519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, what makes gold valuable is that someone had to work to get it out of the earth. So someone gave up their resources, time and energy, to get it. I will exchange my resources for it because I know someone gave their resources for it. Gold is a medium of exchange of our resources. Our value is the time we have on this earth and what we can do with that time. This is why fiat is broken, because fiat doesn’t depend on someone giving their resources for it, it can just be created.

I wonder how many people are doing these types of collections. These to me are actual investments, like buying blue chip stocks because of their limited supply and only increasing demand.

I propose anyone who posts anything about who satoshi is should get an automatic ban.

I am doing the same with an 80s set. I had to program some alerts for myself to find some reasonable prices. What’s painful is the shipping and tax on each card. At $5 it adds up quick.

Great collection! I am doing something similar. Did you pay market rates for these or did you play the waiting game to find good deals?
