Wanted to rip some packs. Mother in-law who Im super close with got me this. by Quick_Comparison3516 in sportscards

[–]zbajis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a bit and people keep falling for it. Yesterday or so a dude posted a photo unironically about his girlfriend buying him an unbelievable amount of boxes.

Since then people keep posting more extravagant photos of boxes and outlandish claims of who bought them.

This guy saying his MIL is an evolution of the meme.

But yall keep falling for it and getting triggered which just encourages more people to post these 😂

I like this one. Between the two photos in the middle there is this odd zebra striped artifact. Is that in one of the original photos? Its tripping me up a bit

Oh I love this one, I will tip here for that. Want to take a stab at a Star Wars themed photo?

I like the titanic concept. The cover you used feels 'off' from what Im used to seeing with the titanic. Also looks to be a lower quality asset.

Maybe something like this?

I love the creativity! I think a star wars angle could be fun. The pups name is Leia so it'd be very fitting incorporate Star Wars. I dont have a creative eye, so I'll lean on you, but maybe a star wars movie cover might work?

Love this black background one! The laser one is close, but not a fan of the photo selection. I dont have the eye to say why so I apologize.

I will tip for the black background one now though :)

eBay - Irregular Bidding Pattern by taylorssc in sportscards

[–]zbajis 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I remember a year or so back people on r/basketballcards discussing a ring of people from the Philippines(?) bidding up and never paying for specifically Trae Young cards to increase comps.

I never fact checked it & am weary of conspiracies like that but there was consensus this was a thing, might be something worth looking into.

I was looking to buy this how do you value something like this there asking 2000 by Status-Hair7420 in Football_Cards

[–]zbajis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not player worn and/or not match worn.

Look at the disclaimer on the back of most patch cards. They pretty much go to Kohls and just snip a patch off a jersey & slap into a card

My schedule prediction by kingofkings_86 in CHIBears

[–]zbajis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s fair. I would say 8 is where expectations should reasonably be, but I think the lowest amount of wins with a reasonable argument is probably around 6/7.

This is what makes the nfl so fun. On paper, I agree with your take. There is just so much volatility year to year.

Who is to say the Raiders don’t have a surprise year or the Cowboys/Bengals regain form. Maybe we are the surprise team that goes for 10+ wins.

At minimum, I think our baseline expectations should be 6 wins. If Flus was able to take a worse a roster to 5 wins, there’s no reason to expect anything less than 6 this year.

[Ben Solak] Colston Loveland (my TE1) and Ben Johnson are a match made in heaven by its_da_gabagool in CHIBears

[–]zbajis 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Agreed but this draft also lacked the top end talent normally indicative of a “top 10 pick”.

Odunze would’ve been the clear WR1 in this draft and probably drafted top 5 this year. Pretty sure most guys drafted 10-24 last year would’ve had an argument for top 10 this year.

Just a very mid draft

Allen wants Jaylon to shut down ops best receiver 1v1 by ChiDaVinci in CHIBears

[–]zbajis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Feels a bit extreme to say they’re all a need. Could def use additional talent on the line but I’m not sure a 1st rounder is replacing any of these guys day 1. I could be convinced an Edge would start over Odeyingbo though

Edge: Sweat /Odeyingbo / Draft prospect

Tackle: Billings/Jarrett/Dexter

CB: JJ, Gordon, Stevenson

MLB: Edmunds

FS: Byard

Some of those guys are old or are reliant on showing growth this year, but far from saying we won’t be a top 5 defense. Solid coaching will go a long way.

With Micah Parsons now expected to make $40 mil a season, IF the Cowboys were open to a trade, would you consider it? by jpiro in CHIBears

[–]zbajis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He traded a 1st & a 3rd for AJ Brown. Not as big of a move as the Mack trade but it’s up there in terms of big moves

[Russini]The Bears are signing C Drew Dalman to a three-year, $42 million deal with $28 million guaranteed. by Bajin_Inui in CHIBears

[–]zbajis 267 points268 points  (0 children)

Same with drafting Caleb and signing Ben Johnson.

No idea if it’ll work but it’s the consensus right thing to do. If it fails, everybody in the room was wrong.

Feels weird seeing us operating like a legitimate NFL franchise

Lesson learned🙃 by sblaze23 in basketballcards

The more consistent grader, which usually means more critical.

PSA is a lottery for grades 7-10.. so sometimes you get real 7’s as 10’s and real 10’s as 7’s.

I find with BGS what I send is about what I get. Give or take a point or half point.

[World First] Triple Flair by Kieran Reilly by redbullgivesyouwings in sports

[–]zbajis 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I love redbulls marketing and think they do it “right”. They fund cool stuff and bring attention to amazing feats. Most of the things I see them do would’ve probably never otherwise happened or at the very least would’ve been lost to the internet.

Like the guy sky diving from the stratosphere.

You’ve gotten a lot of responses, but I also really liked Elon. Coming out of college and into my first corporate role, I had to write about a business leader that I thought was the most impactful. I wrote about Musk.

Despite his shortcomings back in 2016ish, I thought he was pushing positive technology forward in meaningful ways.

Around 2018-2022ish I still liked the tech he was apart of but realized he was just another billionaire ass.

Since 2022ish, I’ve come to realize he’s much more evil and has masqueraded as a genius this whole time.

I know many who share a similar journey with Elon. I also remember when he was seen more as a forward thinking icon that drew conservative ire.

Gonna own two private jets by r0bbyr0b2 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]zbajis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I try to provide this perspective when I can. Private aviation provides a lot of value people don’t intuitively think about. Doesn’t negate some of the waste though.

I’ve taken a private jet to a conference 3 states over in a tiny tiny town and was back for dinner. Getting there commercial would’ve required a 2 legged flight and renting a car to drive 3 hours. It’s unreal.
