Daily Thread - Wednesday 6/23

[Groat]

Another entry in the ongoing saga of the deadbeat hockey card seller. After I contacted him last Thursday night asking for an update, he sent a message back on Friday morning saying that he had located the card and it was going out that afternoon. He said that once he had a DC# that he would email it to me. I never got a DC email from him, and Wednesday's mail has come and gone without a card. I sent him a message asking if it has been mailed yet and if so what the DC# was. If he doesn't come back with a tracking number in 24 hours then I'm just going to get my money back and leave a negative. What a damn hassle.

If it ends up going that direction, I really don't understand why. It was a $15 card, so it's not like he was taking me to the cleaners or anything. He's got around 75 feedback, so a neg will pretty much wreck his ebay credibility. At this point, even if it does come he'll get a positive but just some god awful DSRs.

I saw Topps announced on their facebook page that for those who unlocked a Strasburg rc through their "million card giveaway" that the first 300 people can get their card signed for ONLY $350. What a deal!!! :benson:

Some people posted about that in the baseball boards. One suggested that it might be worth it to get it signed, as copies of the bowman auto numbered to 300 are going for much more than that. I wouldn't have the balls to make that investment, though.

I would rather try to get signed IP myself or at least pay a little kid $20 to go up to him and get it signed for me.

If I were Strasburg, I wouldn't sign a dang thing for free right now. He can charge insane fees for his signature currently and people will pay it. Who knows how long that'll last though? I'd be loading up my bank account for a 'just in case' scenario.

Back from my nap and caught up with everything. No hits on the Heroes set yet, but got a couple more Champ's cards for those sets.

You get anybody offering anything you didn't ask for yet? I once asked for Portis logos only and within two minutes some guy had PM'ed me saying that I needed to buy all his Portis base cards in order to be a supercollector. I didn't even bother replying.

:lol: No, haven't had that pleasure yet. But, now that you mentioned it, I'm kind of expecting it. :lol:

SOOOOO happy with the US National Team! That game should have been 3-0 though if not for a goal called back and Altidore's bonehead miss from point blank range. If I have another son, I am naming him Donovan!

Whats even better is now that the US has advanced, I get to watch the game in a European pub The Polish are very pro-American :lol:

GO SAM'S ARMY!!!

packers should be here by now... I think moving is more of a hassle when you are paying people to do it

I'm so beat...what a morning. I've been running all around the area putting in applications all morning/afternoon.

At least you're trying to find work. A lot of the people in my neighborhood are out of work and not even looking for a job.

Hope you find something soon Magnet.

Thanks Puck

Great point, he should be making money while he can b/c his career could be over as quickly as it began.

DUDE, change your avatar already!!! There's something wrong with it, I'm not sure what it is, but it gets flagged just like Deceptikons computer flags it.

I see your point, but players should ALWAYS sign for little kids.
