Unfortunately found out Ricky was scratched for injury/precaution as I was sitting in the stands waiting for first pitch Saturday… but can’t be mad if that’s what was best - had an awesome weekend in Tampa + Dunedin watching the boys and getting some nice weather !

Surviving means getting from point A to point B whilst remaining alive, simply continuing to exist; Fighting means to engage in a war where if you win, you emerge from the battle uninjured and/or in a better position - Stop simply surviving, Start fighting for your life

If you’re in denial about your troubles, they will continue to rule your life.. but if you accept your troubles and are willing to work on them, you can write the end of your story

Why do we need certain things to happen in order for us to be happy? Why can’t we be happy unconditionally? We decide what makes us happy, not someone else so let’s not limit those things.

You have done the best you can in life with the knowledge and experiences you have had - Life is one big class, and the exam is to learn from mistakes, events, actions etc. and respond to them when they come back up differently, in a way that makes you okay

Things may have happened in your past that were not your fault - However, it is your responsibility to deal with it and overcome it, nobody else can do it for you - you can be in pain forever or choose to live your life - both are hard initially, one eventually gets easier
CARD TWITTER 🚨, I need some advice .. any and all would be much appreciated
I laid eyes on the Ricky 1st Super Auto a couple months ago and have been in contact with the owner as he put it up for sale..
He told me he was looking to get around 5k for it.
@oaty_9@CardPurchaser i never said it’s a good decision 😅 im aware of that. but sometimes should/shouldnt doesn’t ALWAYS correlate with that directly. haha. we’ve all done things we shouldn’t that later on we’re glad we did, am i wrong ?
@luke_mcaoidh @bowman1951 i don’t disagree but it’s turned into more of a personal goal/chase and being a big fan instead of an investment if that makes any sense.
but yes, especially considering he’s had a couple very minor injuries at 21 y/o it’s an absurdly high price
@oaty_9@CardPurchaser im pretty confident i can make my own decisions. and saying it’s not worth 5k is coming from no where considering its worth whatever a collector will pay. especially since i have no plan to sell it hopefully ever
@madhattan@CardPurchaser what’s making this a tough decision is that I confidentally say im a top3, maybe even the biggest ricky collector there is and if its sold to someone who is a big collector and planning to hold, then i’ll never get his biggest most important card if that makes any sense

Any opinions/suggestions would be greatly greatly appreciated - if the seller sees this, it is nothing against you, i appreciate how you’ve handled this thus far, I am just trying to not get baited into anything especially considering the large amount of money in play
HERES MY QUESTION 🙏
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to move forward and are my only options either
1. finding a way to collect 7k to get my grail
2. letting my grail be bought by someone else and potentially never getting another chance to own it
3. calling his bluff
