Here's a question to ponder; when does the Babe Ruth 1/1 bounty, get claimed...??

Within a few days
Within a couple of weeks
Several months (or longer?) from now

It's either quick or never

I hope you don’t lose too much money on your breaks, especially HTA. Some of these cases will be BRUTAL.

Yes, I am sure about that. You may want to take your own advice here:

Sometimes, addicts need some feedback of themselves, that’s how downward spirals occur - when people live with blinders on.

BTW, I likely spend more than 99% of the people on this board annually on sports cards, but ZERO goes into the breaker culture.

You come across as a complete jerk, or Cardboard Karen as another user said. Here is some feedback for your specific behavior - it's known as gatekeeping. You know what else is degen behavior? Obsessing over other people's purchases and being unable to move on. It's kinda weird.

So seeing a movie, having a night out at the bar with friends, going to a ballgame...all things with costs with no tangible takeaway when its over. Not sure why these things hurt you so, not every activity needs to end with a dollar gained. That's another degen habit, obsessing over cost/value of every activity.

Conversation is good, opinions are good, card talk/breakdowns of new products is fantastic. But jeez guy, get over the labels, whining about breaks, immature snark and name calling. Its gotten beyond old at this point.

Why do you internalize what anyone says on a sports card message board so much? Do people’s comments affect your financial ambitions? Is there something else that we need to know about?

Rather than exhibiting stalking behavior, perhaps you can have your own take about participating in breaks - why don’t you highlight all the positive and fun aspects to counter the critics?

And more importantly, do it in your own style, to quote Jim Rome, “have a take and DON’T suck”.

I much prefer the strong stances here over the nauseating sausage boi pump fests that are easily taken as spam.

Please, I invite you to criticize my group, whatever group that may be (maybe hobbyists who like to open their own boxes?) and even snarkily show me the errors of my experience in the hobby. I would love to learn a thing or two.

Enlighten me and learn to live with my style of communication - I openly welcome others to post how they want to post here, without personally attacking other specific members, as per the guidelines of this excellent forum.

I ripped my box just now. I am not one to whine about QC, but man the base chrome cards seem "weak". A lot of dimples and some cards came out looking like a cat scratched them.

Nothing to write home about in my box, lowest numbered card was /250 and it was non-auto.

Good luck to all who are ripping or getting into breaks, Bowman is always a fun time.

Yeah, last year had the same dimpling, wrinkling and roller mark/scratching problem.

I mean, anyone can flip this on you and play the same game.

Why do you have the need to rant about "degens" and "bois" on every new product analysis/discussion, do people's methods of opening product and collecting cards affect your financial ambitions? Is there something else we need to know about?

Rather than exhibiting obsessive behavior repeating the same rants, perhaps you can have your own take about how you enjoy opening a product instead of only complaining about others' methods? Why don't you focus on the highlights and show why your way is better?

See how easy that is?

The whole "holier than thou" attitude you spout is NOT fooling anyone. You are not openly welcoming - you name call, you label and you obsess and that has been pointed out by a multitude of posters and its tiring.

You want to 'communicate' but as soon as you're faults are called out, you go into self preservation mode. (You STILL haven't addressed how your claim that DA is selling 4000 cases of HTA is incorrect, and that a $200k bounty would be more than a $4 markup per box of their inventory).

Lay off the pearl clutching here - I will freely admit my callouts are annoying to many and i KNOW my posts are blocked by some. But we live in the age where many people have never heard the words "No" or "Wrong" and sometimes it just has to be said to people who can't seem to admit what they are doing is obnoxious. It's your turn to hear it.

I was supposed to pull the Babe Ruth 1/1 but ended up with autos of 7th and 15th rounders instead.
Nolan Gorman RC refractor /499 might have been my best card.

I addressed your bounty issue in post #271.

I’m not trying to fool anyone - I am stating exactly how I see it. I’m sorry if my opinion affects you personally. I would never block you like I would never block anyone, but you always have the option if you cannot handle a fellow member’s opposing position on the topic at hand.

[cj828282]

Looks like one parallel auto is the mega mojo auto #/150. Does this indicate no Bowman Chrome mega boxes this year with the retail exclusives Fire and Gallery also being out?

[DarcyWinston]

I never have luck with this product. It’s very high risk also.

I now see you edited your post #271.

Since you didn't grasp it the first 37 times, you are welcome to any opinion you want. But knock off the insults and name calling, that's not welcoming, that's not having a discussion, that's just you trying to inflame.

Why are the terms “boi” and “degenerate” so unwelcoming to you? I’ve never addressed any specific member directly with these terms to my recall, why do you take them so personally?

To my knowledge, these are acceptable terms on these boards, I’ve seen others use them before as well.

I’ve been called addict-boi before, I find it hilarious.

I don’t see how any of these terms are any more inflammatory than the term “troll”, which is used in every other thread here.

Anyone know if Adley autos are live or redemption in this??

Looks like my boxes and QC was very poor. Lots of names on that auto checklist makes it tough to hit a good one.

[Grave252]

Gold Salas auto BIN’d at $5K. Seller could have gotten more I suspect.

Felnin Celestene gold non-auto for $300 thought was a good buy on ebay

Do we expect a drop on topps/fanatics tomorrow like the old days? Or do they just do the pre-sell now?

It's going to drop. I got an email from Topps about an hour ago now.

Got an HTA from fanatics pre sale in today

Trey Faltine Base
Junior Marin Base
Trey Faltine Green /99

I thought it was the jumbo format but I didn’t realize that Hobby is now jumbo and HTA is now a breakers box.

[jayjones82]

Got my lone box. A Reynar Arias auto probably saved me. The other auto was Spence Coffman (570th pick).
