In what way does hoping that a person isn't a sexual predator cause a person to deserve to be completely wiped out financially?

I swear, some people.

I was doing a Logofractor set and was waiting until prices calmed down.
Boy did they ever!!

$20 for a psa 9 yesterday as opposed to raw ones going for $80 when the set came out.

A PSA 10 was $40-50 yesterday.

I want to go to a card show so bad. Just to see how dealers price, act, talk and spin it.

When all’s said and done, will this thread have more pages than the number of games in Wander’s MLB career?

Just another reason to collect vintage...

Went to a LCS a few months ago and said: Man, I hope Wander has a great 2023 to the store owner! And He said yes and so does the whole Industry....

SuperB I wonder how many Dealers at the Nationals turned down fair Wander offers/Trades ???

Scenario 1 Wander is suspended for 1 year and misses 2024 season. Possible or way off base??

Amen brother. I've had all I can stand of some of these young hot dogs with more gold and tatoos than a long term commitment to the true heart of the game. It seems like so many of these kids feel like just getting signed and cashing in their bonus is the crowning achievement of their entire life, and now they can just spend that money and live a wild few years and who cares about committing themselves to the ball club and the fans.

It's hard to fathom anyone actually thinking this. Maybe top 20 in the AL?

Of course johnlocke would also rather have Jordan Hicks over Zac Gallen.

I’m a little confused by this. Could you clarify?

No neck tattoos?
Felix Hernandez has one. He's one of the nicest most generous players off the field I've ever seen.

Weird flex.

And apparantly to some gettting tattoos period means you don't have the heart to play the game

[MiamiMarlinsFan]

Yadi has neck tattoos.

in general, players who don't have tattoos that are great players look at themselves as a brand. brand is a very powerful thing. now there are exceptions like lebron but i'm specifically talking about neck tats. even face tats. both go beyond the pale in regards to brand stewardship. even lebron doesn't have a neck tat.

Ok just for fun make 10 AL players in AL that had better year

[Cards and 401K]

Before Witt Jr. Started his recent hot streak the joke was he had one of the top10 MLB mullets…..tattoo same thing whatever..

I’m actually a huge Zac fallen fan. The actual 2 guys that I took a lot of slack over was hyping spencer strider and liking brayan bell over Tyler Anderson

Some of the wealthiest musicians have neck or face tats. What's the difference? Is it acceptable in music but not in sports?
