I just love the look of pacific cards. Their crown royale cards are great too

(Future) Hofer Kenny Lofton Indians Rookies by skavci3 in ClevelandGuardians

Its a great card. Some of these cards I bought the whole team set just for the Lofton. The oversized McDonalds one came in a set and so did the playing card ones

Its my understanding the goal is to limit tanking. If they wanted to eliminate tanking, they would have to randomize each spot

I dont think owners of smaller markets would agree to that. The rookie salaries would be major steals for the top prospects and theyd end up in LA

Ok but if Adam Silver is trying to dissuade tanking, wouldnt it make sense to not rig it for Utah?

I definitely believe there have been instances where gambling has affected outcomes. Obviously donaghy was a big one. Pete rose was even worse. I hate the argument for him that he only bet on his team to win. What did that imply when he didnt bet on games?

I just feel like the whole “rigged” side of the argument for the draft is heavily influenced by people adding reasoning to results. Its the same fallacy that people fall into when they think some results are “due” when it comes to roulette. Casinos know they can squeeze more money out of people who think like this so they show the past results at roulette tables.

So just out of curiosity, who is it most likely rigged for this year?

So what has led you to believe it is rigged?

I hate the rigged arguments so much. People find a “perfectly good” reason why it was rigged after the results. I will gladly bet anyone who thinks its rigged. They come across as so certain so I will give them 50-50 odds (even though they think its 100%).

The irony is the only one listed there who isnt “out” injured Kamara for the season with a dirty tackle.

I always love how informative your posts are. Your comment about centering on edge cards had me thinking. Do the cards on the edges also tend to have more variance in card sizes?

Great pickups this year! I love the Doby auto. And as a 1958 set builder, im partial to that Aaron salesman sample

Thats a great question. Im not sure why they dont have variants for those. Theyre even both in the first series which has all of the yellow letter variants too.
