Selling hot packs isn't pack searching, but to be selling them means he either searched them, resealed them, or bought them from someone who searched or resealed them.
Go with your gut. I've never seen someone at a show selling hot packs next to a packed-out box of that same product, but if I...
He is?
I'm a Tiger fan, I live in Detroit and I go to plenty of games and I've never heard him considered a fan favorite. I mean, he's no Todd Jones or anything, but when the whole "Who's Your Tiger?" thing was going on, I didn't see or hear many people pick Inge.
Mine was Fernando "The...
You wish death upon people who disagree with you? Wow.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you voted for Obama and consider yourself a Keith Olbermann fan. That type of irrational hatred for opposing viewpoints is almost exclusively found in "open-minded" liberals.
Your result was most likely skewed because you poisoned the well as you described it.
Of the non-hobbyists I've told about it, and we're talking maybe 75 people here, I've only come across one person who thought it was wrong. Most everyone else thought it was clever. I described both sets of...
Your argument doesn't make any sense at all. I'd be fine refuting your argument, but you're just kind of babbling about singles or whatever.
My point went waaaaay over your head then.
My analogy was spot on. The part you failed to grasp is the irrelevance of manufacturer intent. Your argument...
No, I'm not saying that at all.
I'm saying that the manufacturer's intent is completely irrelevant.
Let me make another analogy for you and we'll see if this helps you understand... I'm sure you've seen lowrider cars or cars with tinted windows and loud stereo systems, right? The...
I guess Cooper Brannan could be listed here.
As you all know, he lost his left "trigger" finger in Iraq, which gives him a uniquely good grip on his left-handed knuckleball. His right-handed conventional delivery is normal, but the fact that he can pitch two different styles with two different...
Who says they're meant to be fair? And you don't have to pretend it's okay. It's okay. There's nothing wrong with it.
And the majority of people don't think it's wrong.
That's a silly example, but it's also false. Seven years ago, I stole a girl away from a friend of mine. He wasn't treating...
"Supposed to" in your argument only has to do with what the card companies intend. The card companies put cards in opaque packs because they don't intend for you to look through the wrappers and see the cards inside. What difference does it make what the card companies want?
That's like saying...
I've been doing pretty well. Really well, actually. This has probably been my best season, but that's because seemingly three times as many players are being called up compared to usual, and some of the guys I had written off as "misses" a couple years ago are "hitting" now.
If you saw my...
Excellent line.
Though sometimes they are "loud" about things other than their prospecting. To me, the only reason ever to show your "stash" is when you have a nice inventory of someone who is clearly not going to make it. At that point, the "stash" becomes a collection.
What home teams/parks have you seen live?
Mine -
MLB
Pirates at PNC
Tigers at CoPa and Tiger Stadium numerous times
Jays at SkyDome
Minors
Charlotte Knights at Knights Field (or whatever it's called) several times
Idaho Falls Chukars at Chukar Field (or whatever it's called)
Albuquerque...
There's nothing circular about it.
Yes. There's nothing circular about it.
Apples and tractors. Bernie Madoff misled his investors and stole their money. Pack searchers neither mislead nor steal. They don't pretend like they aren't searching packs, and they don't steal the packs or hits...
He deserves them because he spent the time to search all the packs. He spent an hour going through everything, so he deserves the fruits of his labor. He got up and hit the stores first thing to get the good stuff, so he deserves what he finds. The person who just goes in when he feels like it...
I imagine that's more of a case of opening the box, searching the packs and buying (or stealing) the one with the jersey than weighing blasters until you find a jersey, then opening the blaster, finding the pack and buying (or stealing) it.
I've had long conversations with pack searchers I buy...
