So that was the joke.

I have only had 2 legit favorite players. Ken Griffey Jr (who didnt love him when they were a kid) and then once i got older and understood the game it went to good ol Manny Ramirez my ALL TIME favorite.

Also find the right buyer on ebay and u can make a mint. I sold last year a lot of 250 autographed cards on ebay. I would say about 200 of the players sucked dick and i still pulled back almost 700$.

I used to buy grab bag lots when i was in hs way back when.. usually 1-10$ per lot and guarnetted at least one auto.. it was always worth it because u never know what u'd get and u can hit a slam dunk.

One time I got a John Elway Auto /25 worth over 500$ Sold that shit right away

Manram and I used to go "pack feeling"

There is skill and way to feel the packs at places like Target and Walmart that let you touch the packs. Feel for jerseys and such.

I pulled a sweet card once with Jim Thome and Jim Schmidt double sided with pieces of their bats. Didn't sell it right away and then Thome was traded from the Phillies. . I imagine now its useless.

mine was Bagwell as a kid.

Pedroia is my ALL time favorite and it'll never be close

There isnt anything I dont like about the guy... everything he does on the diamond reminds me of myself... from hitting to fielding to height to demeanor.

Powerade,

its always a crap shoot..

I guess that whats makes it so much fun. If you hit a monster you can make 3x on your money on just one card.

My Cam Newton alone is worth 120.. The Gabbert is worth 50.

for the 3 boxes total i paid 115 + 10 to ship.

I mainly find a good seller on ebay and before the season buy like 10-15 bengals auto cards of all diff players if i can get good deals.

Spent 100$ this year and pulled back almost 30 cards..

15 Carlos Dunlap ones. value on them already tripled

in 5th grade I made the deal of a lifetime.

traded a pokemon card to a kid for a Tim Duncan Signed serial rookie /25 I believe.

I felt so bad a few days later I gave the kid like 15-20 more cards to try and make up for it.

The duncan was worth like 150 at the time

ManRam,

i just get presspass because its all rookies and its cheaper, I got really lucky with the Newton.

I'm not sure I'll ask him about it

Alright dante...

You need more 3's. That's for sure. And with 3's...you lack points as well. Trading for a guy like Nick Young would be smart, imo. But you'll also have to know that Eric Gordon will be good for both of those categories...whenever he gets healthy. You should be good at assists since CP3 will run away with assists sooner or later and Collison is good. I worried about him at the start of the season because he wasn't all that good last season and his job wasn't secure this season. But he's done a good enough job to hold it.

You're pretty good everywhere else. Maybe another rebounder would help but I don't think it's a necessity. I really expect Odom to get his minutes up and with that he'll score more, hit more 3's and rebound more. But, of course, that's just speculation.

So that's my take on it. Take it for what it's worth (not much).
