Love it as a player collector, lots of people will get Supers i never thought would.
But yeah, wouldn't go within 100 miles of this product if I was busting it.
Haven't posted all season, but here's a good chunk of my Goldschmidt pickups since April or so. Haven't really picked up that much, but the stuff I did get was pretty nice. Been trying to cut back and save money this year, collecting was getting way out of hand. Happy with what I got though...
Yeah, good news for sure. Obviously it's too late to help the team, but at least he can get some games under his belt before next season rather than just coming in having missed a full year of major league games.
Yeah, all his other numbers are fine but it's odd to see the lack of power. Maybe he's just not feeling it like the rest of the team this year. Hard to motivate yourself when everyone else seems to not care.
Thanks for the tip DeliciousBacon, couldn't not grab the Prado at that price.
Man, I only just realized how far removed I've been from this season. So hard to watch this team, I think besides Shipley's start I haven't watched a game in a month or so.
All the fun of last year has just been sucked out of the room.
Me too...2003 Leaf Certified is still one of my favorite products of all time. First "expensive" box I ever opened too.
Got this guy in the mail along with the Flair Masterpiece I posted in the '90s thread...2002 Fleer Showcase Masterpiece 1/1
Finally got a Masterpiece! Unfortunately I'll never get a 1997, as obviously the D-backs did not exist, but at least I have the other years to chase. Would love to find a 1998 next!
I've placed about 400 votes...and of course Lamb is in 4th in the first update. We just can't compete with fans with more teams. At least he's ahead of everyone's favorite cheater Ryan Braun.
Hopefully he can still get in with injuries and stuff.
Really pleased with Greinke's performance lately. Definitely getting our money's worth now.
I've been kind of in and out for the season, just been really busy and not really much activity in the hobby at this point. Anyone have any cool pickups I can vicariously live through?
I thought the same, but just a temp solution, according to Hale. Archie starting Sunday, some guy named Edwin Escobar starting Monday. I assume Leone and Bracho both go back down at that point - or Collmenter if he's complete garbage.
He also called RDLR's injury a "strained UCL." Out at least...
Don't like seeing Miller putting someone on every inning, but like him bouncing back with the DP's and not caving in to the pressure like most of his starts. Got through the dreaded 4th inning with no damage (think they said on TV he has a 19.00 ERA in the 4th).
While we're stuck in this horrible slump, more bad news on the card front. Missed one of my Top 5 most wanted cards, all because I normally only search Josh and not Joshua. I don't know why it never occurred to me so search this way - I search for his stuff daily and I completely missed this -...
2011 Diamondbacks, though 2001 is obviously close. Was going through a lot of crap in 2011 and baseball was really all I felt I had, and luckily we were improbably good. Still think we could've gone far if we just could have pulled it out in extra innings.
Always happy to win but another concerning start from Greinke. It's going to be a long season. Going to the game tomorrow but don't even want to watch Miller pitch. Was hoping he'd get a DL stint so we'd be relieved of him for a couple weeks.
Yeah, surprised we are able to take these first 2 with the way the season started...I have less hope for today, but who knows, Grienke has been improving every start after all. Still hoping for some Goldy resurgence here! Lots of singles lately but no XBH.
What's up y'all. Been on vacation the last few days so decided to forgo all technology from Thursday morning through this morning. I see we managed to win a series in my absence, but nothing overly impressive it seems. Goldy hitting in the .190s at one point (still?), yikes.
Settled in to watch...
Sweet Goldys as always! I think I saw that Dynasty on the bay, that's another one I need to pick up now that I have the dynasty from 2015.
I just haven't seen much I've wanted listed lately. I don't think I've bought anything in 2 weeks. Hoping some cool stuff comes out of Museum Collections -...
Yeah, it's been pretty depressing, I don't have much interest in watching a team that doesn't seem to really care. Hopefully it improves from here, but there haven't really been any signs of that.
