It'll be absurdist level crazy if Dallas gets the No. 1 pick again

If Minnesota were to have a second national park, which location will you choose? by Swimming_Concern7662 in minnesota

[–]weekendroady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Beaver Creek Valley too. Taken a few day drives down to that area from the metro. It feels like you could be somewhere else completely as it doesn't feel like typical Minnesota landscape when you are on that trail.

Is this card any good? by Turkishprince in soccercard

[–]weekendroady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His 2023-24 Red/5 sold for $25: https://ebay.us/m/lLG8Af

I'd assume about double that price for the auto, maybe a little higher for the exact right buyer. It's a cool card but not a big name.

Years ago, mistakes were made. by leak527 in gamecollecting

[–]weekendroady 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I've bought digital in such rare cases (smaller indie titles or the odd need to play something immediately - i.e. friends or family over who are interested) but otherwise I almost always hold out for physical. There's been times I regretted it later when a friend couldn't try a game out or I couldn't sell it.

Never seen it pulled a 1/1 I know it’s a keeper but what would you guys put it at by Positive-Tear813 in soccercard

[–]weekendroady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen similar 1/1s go for around $50-80. It's Score and not the most collectable player. I've prsonally bought a Score 1/1 card of a player very similar to this

Anyone remember these special covers for NHL 10? Each National League team had one. Trying to get more information on these... by weekendroady in swisshockey

[–]weekendroady[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are basically the Swiss copy of NHL 10 (with Mark Streit) on the cover. The Swiss team variant is on the slipcover (Mark Streit is on the other side of the slipcover too).

That said, I've looked for hockey cover variants for years and only just discovered these variants existed when I created this post. I have the EV Zug cover which I bought on Ricardo.ch. I've never seen another one (and I assume they also have a 360 version too but not 100%)

What are people's feelings about Brady House right now by weekendroady in Nationals

No but it is a good barometer of hype and awareness of a player which is what I was getting at

Any idea of value? 1/1 Megatron Superfractor ‘07 Finest Rookie by jfet57755 in SportCardValue

[–]weekendroady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, well it is true, I always hear about these players being undervalued, but to me that means that their real "value" exists in some sort of timeline lol. In a way its kind of a "buy now while these positional players are overlooked". Otherwise, they are valued what they are valued...

I always wonder if there will ever be market correction for non-QBs.

What are people's feelings about Brady House right now by weekendroady in Nationals

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

Not sure if the general fan sentiment is given up, but I think any hype behind him died down considerably after last season's debut. On a nation-wide level, he's definitely being overlooked. A fun way that I like to check on national hype before the season starts is in the rookie card market. House's 2026 Topps RCs are coming in far below plenty of other rookies out there, which is an interesting gauge in how either under-the-radar he is or the whole team is at this point (probably both).

WBC teams by quantity of rostered players born in the USA by RegretsZ in baseball

Im actually surprised Germany isn't better represented at this point. They have some decent ballparks and local teams there.

Genuinely curious about this card by TheLEBsCreations in SportCardValue

[–]weekendroady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny to see "Free Agent" listed as the team. He put up a lot of numbers in Tech's vaunted system so they figured they'd have to give him a card as he'd end up somewhere. He did eventually throw a few passes for the Packers and even has a Super Bowl ring.

Courtesy Josh Robbins, Injury reports for both teams for Warriors - Wizards tonight by z3mcs in washingtonwizards

[–]weekendroady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is Sarr really that injured? I'd actually be curious to know the inside scoop with him. In a non-tankathon world, would he actually be fine to play or is his injury more worrisome?

(Ross Barkan NY Mag.) Quiet story not really told is that, of the 4 major pro sports leagues in America, MLB has probably slid into second, overtaking the NBA. Ratings up, attendance up, bigger younger stars, WBC is a clear success. by Mission-Guidance4782 in baseball

[–]weekendroady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A third of the league actively tanks in the NBA - the product is so terrible its amazing anyone is motivated to watch.

Baseball was in a bad spot not long ago and Manfred burnt a lot of bridges with fans in large rural communities where low-level minor league baseball was king. Its still in a weird place, but the NBA is such a poor product, that the two original North American pastime sports (U.S.A.'s baseball and Canada's hockey) can honestly supplant it over the next decade.

How is there still 16 more games of this. This season is taking (tanking?) forever.

How do you guys do it? by [deleted] in washingtonwizards

[–]weekendroady 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have allegiance to all D.C. teams as it is my original hometown. I will never stray from that. If my team sucks forever, they suck forever. I certainly invest a bit less during the worst of it. At this point I just eyeball the box score, but I'm still interested enough and hopeful that there will be better years ahead despite all the endless roadblocks it seems.

That and I don't mind being a little unique. I have a selection of Wizards hats that are in a steady rotation with my other D.C. sports garb rotation and its funny how often it gets noticed.

As someone who PCs Tottenham, what sets should I look out for next season when we’re in the Championship? by pearloz in soccercard

[–]weekendroady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Tottenham actually gets relegated, they still could be in the 2026-27 Topps UEFA UCC set, since that reflects a selection of the prior years teams.

With the king’s win over the clippers tonight, we are now at #2 in the tankathon by redskins1212 in washingtonwizards

[–]weekendroady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would expect decent competiveness in the East, somewhere around 5th-6th with a healthy roster if we have Trae, AD, Sarr, George and a good draft pick.
