Just curious for those that send PC cards to get graded. Why do you spend money to grade if you are going to keep the cards in your personal collection?

I went to Evansville. Go Purple Aces!

Same here. I'm in Miami (not Miami Beach or South Beach) but Coconut Grove. Outside of many more people wearing masks than last year, it doesn't seem like anything has changed. Bars/restaurants/coffee shops etc are doing a brisk business. Granted it's tourist season (as evidenced by those NOT wearing masks) and the best time of year to be here, but truthfully, I tend to forget how "locked down" some other states are. We are still careful about what we do wear masks everywhere and do our best to avid big crowds but all in all, things are "normal".

Yep, that's where I am now. Breaks were fun as you try to chase something big but after spending a couple hundred bucks I realized that I could have used that money to buy some cards I really wanted. Oh well. Consider a $300 lesson. I'll still jump in on one every once in a while but I have low expectations when I do.

Back again for my periodic check-in. Glad to see that so many of you are making gains and sticking to it. Even when there is a slip, you're back at it and dedicated. Well done. Still doing the lazy Keto thing. Been watching carbs pretty tightly but will have some fruit (apple or orange usually) a couple of times per week. Been avoiding starches and simple carbs (bread, pasta, potatoes) pretty consistently. Last night was pork tenderloin on the grill with oven roasted broccoli & cauliflower. Pretty easy to do the Keto diet now that my wife and I have been doing it for 1+ years. Avoidi

No rookies in there but apparently the chase card is the Ken Griffey Jr. Diamond Edition. It's a white whale for any KG collectors out there. I ended up getting them for $3 each ($36 in total) so it's a flyer but I'll just hang onto them and see what happens.

Has anyone ever come across these baseball cards in a can from Pinnacle from 1997? What a weird decision to put baseball cards in a can. Each can has 10 cards inside. Someone is selling a set of 12 for $50. Thought they may be worth a flyer. Any value in purchasing and opening them or should I buy and hold? Or just skip them altogether because they are stupid and don't have any intrinsic value? Baseball Cards in a Can

We installed a Bosch dishwasher in September 2019 in our new house. We haven't used it yet. I'll let you know when we do and give you my .02. We moved into our house in October 2019.

Follwing....my son is currently a sophomore pitcher/3rd baseman playing on JV. His school has a good baseball program (top-10 in Florida) and had 6 D1 signees this year so there is a pipeline there. Looking forward to how this year turns out....

I started participating in breaks last April/May but after htting team after team that I didn't care for and not getting any great cards, I am now spending more time on Ebay looking for cards that I really want to add to my PC. One benefit of being FBG is that I have disposable income and can easily outbid those twerps that think they can get cards for cheap.

I've been to Marlins Park three times to get tested (nasal swab). Two of those times I was sitting in a line for 2+ hours in my car until I got to the front, despite having an appointment. The third time took maybe 20 minutes tops. Went to get tested again on Saturday (16 yo son had to quarantine and get tested due to possible exposure at school) at a different park here in Miami. We had 8:30am appointment. Was done by 8:45a (oral swab). The plus side of Marlins Park and nasal swab was that I had the results within 30 minutes of taking the test. Still waiting on yesterday's r

Haven't checked in much here but wanted to post my progress. Started at 234 on January 1st. Been doing lazy Keto since then and making sure I do 10k+ steps every day either walking or running. Checked in at 224 last night after my late night run. I'll take 10 pounds over 4.5 weeks. Keeping the pace. I basically sit at my computer all day so some days I'm at 2500 steps at 5p and other days I'm closer to 5k depending on whether or not I walk to the post office in the morning to check my PO Box. I have really enjoyed the evening walk to get to 10k or 12k or whatever it ends

My wife has had COVID at least 12-15 times over the past 10 months.

If you're looking for something relatively quick, easy and tasty, I would recommend it. I would make it again (that's usually the determining factor).
