For some reason it irks me when I read about the "First Amendment" claims surrounding a release.
Legal or not (and I think it might be up for debate, or at least litigation), it just seems...unseemly. For a company that makes a big hullabaloo about how favorable its contracts are with...
Ziomek dealing again.
Didn't allow a baserunner until the one out in the fifth, no hits until 1 outs in the 6th, no runs until 2 outs in the 7th.
Not huge K numbers, but not too shabby for on the road in the SEC.
A product like this, to sell out, needs 10-15 fools with money and 200-300 fools with access to credit.
Ive yet to understand the argument of 'hey, it sold out, so maybe he can run a company/the product is good'.
Hes over 6 feet and his velocity is better than Sonnys to this point.
You tell teams you have an athletic RHP that cn touch 98 with a hammer, and some team will draft him very high on the upside. Maybe a team without an immediate need for pitching, but still.
Yeah, tried the name AT server Dot com yesterday and it didn't work.
But here's an idea. Let's not publicly discuss ways around the protection that the auction site is trying to do.
So some folks seem to be complaining that they used a 3rd party who doesn't know much about how these things are to be done. Some folks are complaining that they themselves did the packouts and knew exactly what would be in each one.
Doesn't seem to be a 'good' way to do repacks without...
Honestly, this is why the majority of my prospecting efforts are fanspecting--VU guys. Some have an increase in value--a certain non David Price pitcher has prices that are trending up. But if they fail, they will always be Commodores.
However, I've even stopped doing this because I've...
Short answer because I have to run to class:
1. Products like this increase/induce prospect market participation--they remove one significant entry barrier to the high end prospect game (presuming arguendo that this is a high end product)
2. More market participants drives up prices of all...
Sometimes I'll hit a BIN that I otherwise wouldn't if I see a BO option with a pending offer, just because I worry that the seller might accept the offer.
I've actually stopped listing BINs at bottom dollar prices (I used to sell "cheapest on ebay!") because I noticed that gave the impression...
Yeah, when I read the comments espousing the benefits of a product like this, I realize that I am just not a part of that group.
I like getting base cards. I like sorting them and ordering them, and I even like going through every few years and deciding which to give/throw away. I like...
I have thought about joining that site if only because some members there might have some hard to find cards I am looking for.
However, when I think to myself that I'd have to go through the process of establishing credibility by posting and interacting with the folks over their, I just think...
Might as well just send me the Jordan Sheffield. He ain't getting drafted high this year...heh heh heh.
Seriously though, nice grades. I feel myself being tempted to enter into the BGS trap soon.
Ziomek:
CG, 13K, 1ER, 2H, 1BB, 1 HBP. AT #12 Oregon. Only run was a hanging breaker that Ryon Healy put in the seats.
Two Straigh CG, 28 K combined. Now has 46 K in 31IP. .87ERA, .62WHIP. 4-0. BOOM.
Very excited about him. Saw him play with Mahoning a bunch of times. Very nice kid, friendly with me and my buddy. Hopefully the prices aren't too crazy right out of the gate. Already have two auto balls and an auto game used ball, though.
I pulled a Grandal Red Ink auto /64. Does that count as a big hit? (not trying to bump my auction, just to inform--2 are already up that are not mine). Obviously the player not as much, but rare.
Some may not know that he was a Vanderbilt commit prior to signing and was very very close to going down to Nashville.
Obviously a high character kid and someone whose career I'd been following and really hoping for a strong recovery. I have no doubts he'll be a success in whatever he...
Got the last one at my target. Not too shabby.
Also got a David Price chrome for the PC. Nice pc hit. The Grandal is pretty good, too.
All are on ebay.
I'll be interested to see if the "maintain value" hypothesis works. I would imagine that Panini plans on making NT again next year, and likely has not exhausted their supply of Wee Willie Keeler bat pieces. A full bat has to produce what, a few thousand tiny shards like they use? No doubt the...
