Good morning all!

Rain here, with some snow up by Puck's house. Hope you're doing OK with your Tourney brackets. Me and the Mrs. are 6th and 7th in a $1500+ total pool with 8 spots paid. And rocking w/ OSU in PineTar's contest.

Somebody get a great looking card for $12 total IMO:

Some collectors crack me up. Go on UD's Facebook page and read some of the comments under the pics of the Exquisite cards that they've been posting. Of course the cards are going to have chipping and some corner wear when the cards are being signed on card. They have to be packaged up, sent to the player, the player takes them out and signs them, then puts them back in the box and sends them back to UD. They then get taken out of the box and placed in stacks accordingly, where they are then hand packed out. That's a **** ton of hands touching them!!! Granted, the UD employees probably know how to handle the cards, but some of these athletes have HUGE hands and probably don't know how to handle them.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, card companies can't win. People will bitch about stickers, but those cards will be in excellent shape, and people will bitch about their cards being dinged up when it's signed on card.

Completely agree. People always say "card companies don't care about collectors". Well when you're constantly in a no win situation, you tend to stop caring and just do the best you can.

For years people ******* about stickers. You know what, the companies listened to the collectors and more and more stuff is getting signed on card now. Not good enough.

The constant bitching about EVERYTHING anymore is wearing thin. There's me bitching about bitching :lol:

I watched the bully's interview too. You could tell his Dad was coaching him and that he was lying through his teeth.
