Card Lab X

This is a sports card account. It buys, sells, and trades cards. The only opinions we care about are thoughts on lower seller fees.

New account in #thehobby so I’m going to break out some cards to get to know cards I collect…

@cfritz1212 @FlyingAsianCard Learned this lesson with Probstein

@CoreyLizowski @Baumy19 I tried to argue that this should be on them to fix, not the league. But the follow up response dug-in harder that I should have known better to start him at SS. So I’ve just asked the league to override the illegal lineup.

[Card Lab X @CardLabX]

Here’s how @Fantrax is handling illegal lineups caused by removing the SS eligibility Ewing held prior to his 3 AB last night. Basically, you should have known better. Go fix it yourself.

@CoreyLizowski @Fantrax @Baumy19 you will not be pleased with the response once you get it.

@vladpetroff @thsottiaux Same. I’m the architect but I still have to act as the middleman by copy/pasting every interaction. Do I really need to be present because the plan to code a hand-rolled HTTP server produced buggy results and the two agreed to a different approach?

@SleeperHQ Tyrone Tracy, Michael Carter, Jawhar Jordan. Which combo?

@whiskey4wallace @kaseymcdd My son decided he likes Pokémon cards so I can chime in.

Pokémon hits are tiered by rarity. There are no premium sets but they do have premium boxes with better odds. Good news, any card can be pulled from a $5 pack to an $80 box.

Bad news, kids can’t even find packs.

@CDeNicola13 .648 OPS vs LHP and .928 vs RHP last year but he bats right handed so gotta force him into this platoon. Or something like that.

@onemillioncubs Watching my 6 year old sort his Pokémon makes me start twitching, but I know that most kids don’t see the joy in a collection sorted by release and card # but this kid lost me at Joe Magrane

@34tbone Sent a ‘58 Topps Jim Brown to PSA with an extreme L/R miscut. Came back N6. Sent to SGC for an ‘A’ and came back as a 1.

I flew home early yesterday to be with the people of Louisiana as we ride out Hurricane Francine.

We’ll get through this together.

@JustinTheGray @RotoClegg 20 teams, 15 MiLB roster spots per team. Both Mueth and Sykora were drafted in our FYPD. So far so good with my Sykora pick.

@CardPurchaser Sent 5 cards on 4/5 under the Value tier. 3 modern. 2 vintage. Modern grades popped on 5/9. Vintage grades popped last Tuesday.

@imitationbacon1 I said, “you wimp. Bacon would have loaded his car.” 😆

[Card Lab X @CardLabX]

Went to the DVD section of Goodwill to look for games. Noticed a baggie of cards to my right and figured someone donated their junk wax. Then I looked further right…

Will probably grab more if they’re still there. Didn’t seem picked thru. Poor collector just had a lot of the same bad luck I have when ripping.

[Card Lab X @CardLabX]

Here’s what I left with. At $10 a box/bag/container, I didn’t want to drop a few hundred on picked through commons.
This wasn’t your typical 80’s - early 90’s junk wax donation. Lots of mid-late 90’s insert potential. Don’t ask why on the O-Pee-Chee.

[Card Lab X @CardLabX]

These were the “best” pulls.
