Paul Skenes’ Debut Patch Auto has been pulled

[OhioLawyerF5]

I have pinpointed the reason why CardBro is so upset: delusion. He literally thinks more than 50% of collectors think knowing where the box came from is important information. Not only does this delusion convince him he is right, but it convinces him that information is important enough that it should matter to Fanatics. Ironically, he has more than 10x'd his estimation.

No doubt that is a lot of effort by one person to defend an entity. You have to wonder why. On top of that, there were two comments made by this person saying that one poster was going to create a scene at the National while another was going to go harass the family that allegedly pulled the card. All of these actions are odd to the say the least.

Look again. I see 5 people. 2 have chosen not to defend an entity, as you claim, but simply reject conspiracy theories and prefer to base opinions on facts. Then the other 3 are the staunch conspiracy theorists. Go ahead and add up the post counts. Seems to me like a lot more effort has gone into spouting baseless allegations than has gone into defending an entity.

Yes collectively, there are more posters talking about the perceived wrongdoing which further emphasizes my point of asking why a couple of people would put so much effort into defending the entity.

Calling out stupidity is in some people's nature.
Though at some point one has to realize that there ain't convincing the stupid, and I think I'm at that point, so instead I'll resort to mainly posting memes from now on.

Imagine thinking that fab, the biggest conspiracy theorist on BO, and hermano, one of the biggest trolls in BO, are posting because they want to have a good faith discussion about this.

Guys, we’re running low on coffee sipping emojis. We need to start rationing. Forehead slapping emojis are also being depleted at a rapid rate…

They are packed out in 2024 TCU but haven't been pulled yet according to Topps/Fanatics. Keep ripping to find them!

There were children at the show.

The biggest delusion on here - believing that revealing the source of the hobby box would threaten the identity of the child.

If the family was so concerned about privacy, why did they even mention their 11 year old to fanatics? Why didn’t the parents simply claim the grown man who is the father pulled it? Why didn’t they remain 100% anonymous, not 30% anonymous?

They are hiding something.

I guess you'll have to ask them those questions. Using the fact that you don't personally know the answers as a basis for a conspiracy theory here is pointless. You can say they are hiding something all you want. It doesn't make it true. Just because you are incapable of comprehending reasons for why they have done what they've done doesn't mean there aren't reasons. Just more delusion on your part.

EDIT to add: The idea that revealing the source of the hobby box would threaten the identity of the child is not held by those here. It's proposed that the family might think it does. And since we don't know their situation or beliefs, we are not in a position to question it.

This thread has eclipsed the 2021 Bowman's Best/Wander Franco rookie card thread.

Fanatics or the family?

These are people who cannot rest until they get the last word. This thread is already over 50 pages long and will never end because, regardless of what side they’re on, they feel compelled to make everyone agree they’re right. That will obviously never happen.

But even the staunchest of conspiracy theorists has to recognize telling the world where you bought a box of cards has a high probability of leading to their identity being revealed. You can't possibly be that dense.

These are the most conflicting statements I’ve read in this entire thread so far -

Your edit states “the idea that revealing the source of the hobby box would threaten the identity of the child is NOT held by those here”, YET, you yourself mention in an earlier post that “even the staunchest of conspiracy theorists (which essentially translates to including everyone on these boards) has to recognize telling the world where you bought a box of cards has a high probability of leading to their identity being revealed.”

So which is it?

God you people are exhausting. This is not the first thread either, where you just keep going and refuse to let something go. Just constantly beating the same dead horse. It’s a shame you have nothing better to do than to sit here all day and argue over every post in an attempt to get some kind of satisfaction.

It can be both if you comprehend critical thinking. There is absolutely a set of circumstances where revealing the location the box was purchased could lead to the identity of the purchaser. But we don't know that information and whether those circumstances exist. If you understood at all what this thread is about, you would realize I am not espousing a theory on what happened. I'm putting down your conspiracy theories by supposing plausible explanations for what you claim suggest the conspiracy. That doesn't mean I hold those beliefs as to what happened, just that they are reasonable explanations for what has happened that don't include your outlandish conspiracy.

It's honestly less exhausting dealing with CardBro than it is to deal with people like you not adding anything to the discussion, just butting in to talk trash about the people having the discussion. If you don't like the conversation we are having in the thread, move on. You won't be missed.

Are you ever going to expand on what they are hiding, besides the place the box was purchased?

Are you going to do anything about it? Or are you just going to keep screaming that they are hiding something and expect someone else to do the work for you?

If baffles my mind how you think anyone believes that you sincerely care about wanting transparency. You love to bitch about Fanatics, you were going to complain about this regardless of how the card was hit. It's not about defending Fanatics, it's about calling out your BS.
