    I smoke weed right before bed and will wake back up a hour later and do that sometimes, I remember though doing it. Doesn't put much weight on since my materialism is revved up from working out. only drawback for me is sometimes I don't shut the frig good or leave food out. No dad body cause of it though.

    Agree 100%

    I registered at eBay in 2002, & started flipping graded cards. I remember buying a Dan Marino PSA 9 rookie for $100, and selling it for $200 the next week.

    Of course that was back before sniping software was born. 

    Automated bid sniping software
    Many websites and software packages offer automated bidding based on the end time of an eBay auction. They try to automatically place your bid just before the auction ends, and some try to synchronize with eBay servers to ensure your bid wins.

    Something else I had a lot of fun with was buying graded cards from grading companies that for whatever reason, had a bad reputation. Honest to God, there was one called snaggletooth grading :)

    The irony is that no one would buy graded cards from companies like that, even if the cards were correctly graded. This is probably unethical, but I'd buy those cards, carefully cut the case open using a table saw at work, & turn around & sell them for many times what I paid.

    That didn't last long, but it was a lot of fun while it did.

     

     

     

    Cool stories and maybe unethical but sounds legal.B)

    Interesting thread. Amazing to see the prices people pay for sports cards, and things like this. I keep thinking that it's all a bubble ready to burst, but admittedly, I've been thinking that for a long time and it hasn't happened. 

    Agreed and think the rarity is what keeps this graded stuff going.

    I would ask to see what ui have, but apparently it’s copyright infringers. I took a couple pics of some baseball cards a while back and posted them here via Imgur and they banned me from uploading anymore pics. 

    Wow that's crazy, I been collecting out of print dvd's the last couple months and been keeping a eye out for sealed vhs,. If the 90's ones ever have value I got a sealed Armageddon & Independence Day.

    I have a baseball collection from the junk wax era that I would fight to the death for. I don’t have any VHS movies. 

    That is cool, I been finding a couple unopened vhs copies here and there at thrift stores but none 1st print ones from the 80's that go for big bucks. Found a 1996 Clamshell ET sealed yesterday at Goodwill. Wish it was 1st print.

    The problem with assembling a top contending team is paying the various pieces of it within salary cap constraints. That the 49ers, with the biggest bargain in the NFL at QB, doesn't have room to pay him makes no sense. The Purdy discount likely only lasts one more year... but that's 2025's problem.

    I guess a lot of money in McCaffery ,Deebo and Bosa is why, not sure Kittle's cost.

    Dude missed out. That might be my favorite Jones' song just because its a bit obscure. 

    Haha will do accept for the no sweat ones that you get your bet back. Yea George put out some great song as well in his later years, Yaba Daba Doo The King is Gone is another obscure good one.
