For those searching, 9am ORD T2 PreCheck - no line, was through in 5min, only snag was learning not all TSA agents have been trained to accept Digital ID, so had to use the physical passport (IL won’t let me get REAL ID yet because I don’t “need” it).

@BosCardHunter I tried it on a retail blasters of Prizm LIV Golf (for science) - only one on the shelf going the other direction, pulled a Bryson Checkerboard…that said, tried it on a Mosaic Mega later that day, nothing crazy at all

I’m starting to hear (and see) that there is a wrapping identifier for ALL PANINI PRODUCTS

@OwenMaxfield011 @sdilley14 @CardPurchaser @rhoge I got lucky, I think - just not something you want to see on a big ticket card - big enough that @eBay demands to authenticate it, not big enough that @eBay will properly pack it to send onward. They didn’t even match how the seller packed it (he sent pics).

@robbc_ @sdilley14 @CardPurchaser @rhoge That sucks, sorry man.

What can I do? I bought this for $230 and eBay authentication didn’t package it correctly. I have not opened it up yet, it’s still sealed. I feel when buying a high end card it should come in the exact condition that was listed. Will eBay offer a refund or return? @CardPurchaser

@sdilley14 @OwenMaxfield011 @CardPurchaser @rhoge @rhoge same question - this was my first card via eBay Auth and I have two more coming - definitely concerned.

@OwenMaxfield011 @CardPurchaser @rhoge is the improved packaging from authentication still in the works?

@babycarrots1001 @endodoug @CardPurchaser Team bag(s), cardboard shell (or ding defenders if you have them), and yep, with PirateShip especially you should be around $5-6 Ground Advantage.

@endodoug @CardPurchaser Understood. You can probably put them in a plastic case (or something you fashion, like a cardboard shell from a cereal box, secure w tape) & put them in a small bubble mailer & ship usps for $6ish. I'm not sure you can get much cheaper than that but I'm curious what others say.

Hey @CardPurchaser what's the best way to ship/mail 60-100 base commons?

@CODYGOLL @RocStar81 @eBay Mine didn’t seem to be damaged, but definitely not what I’d have hoped for.

@robbc_ @RocStar81 @eBay I have one getting authenticated tomorrow. Really hope it travels safe or I might be in a very similar situation.

Hey @ebay, a card passed the authentication process but got damaged because YOU sent it to the buyer in a penny sleeve/saver where the card slid out and the corners got damaged. Now the buyer is returning it and I have to refund him??? WHY??

@CODYGOLL @RocStar81 @eBay Just happened to me Friday too

@RocStar81 @eBay They need to figure this out as my first card showed up half way out of the sleeve as well. Not damaged thankfully but still @ebay has to fix this asap.

@BloopAndABlast Jar is already loosened by the simple fact that the Dodgers are likely going to offer him 3x what the cheap FO in Pittsburgh would even joke about

NFL (cap) vs MLB (no cap). NFL: Josh Allen starts relationship with Hollywood A-List star, literally no talk of him leaving Buffalo for LA MLB: Paul Skenes in a relationship with person with Hollywood aspirations. This just furthers the discussion of when he’ll go to LA

@Dukeblogger @SMHighlights1 It’s like the bigs that take position while putting their arm in a hook to try to draw it - start that clip earlier and you see Edmonds come down and immediately start trying to drive Ngongba out - off balance the entire time, Pat moves, Edmonds goes down, brings Pat down too.

@SMHighlights1 it was called a double foul and if you watch the lay you see the TCU player use his legs to hook Ngongba, use your eyes bro.

Enjoying all the whining about how the T on Dixon was the turning point of the game - Duke was already up 9 at the time, and if your team is soft enough that a T on the coach makes them fold, you’ve got different issues (fwiw, the goaltending should have been called).

Just a lot of crying about the FT differential when all said, the actual foul differential was 20-15…that’s it. Duke committed non-shooting fouls, TCU didn’t…there’s your difference.

How on Earth could that have JUST been on Pat? Edmonds just burrows in and tries to just draw.

That’s two ridiculous flagrants they’ve called - Cam absolutely wasn’t trying to throw an elbow, and that dude was straight up trying to save himself from landing on his head.

@jjmid04 @sports_bourbon That’s a wild pull going with two games from 2012 and one from 2010 for this.

@sports_bourbon Never said it was all NIL money, but certainly a hefty portion of it is, and if you don’t think they’re spending more on NIL than Miami’s basketball program, something must be in the water

Anyone hating on Miami/their season after getting blown out by an objectively talented Tennessee team (and a program that spent over $23 million) should not be taken seriously. Akron lost to Texas Tech by 20. Both teams belonged in the tournament. It’s not hard. #RiseUpRedHawks

GTHC.

…is Carlos wearing a DDMF hoodie?

One team. One dream.

PANDEMONIUM IN OXFORD MIAMI WINS AND ADVANCES @WCPO

Wait, so now I get to do another round with Tennessee fans?

Miami (OH)’s 89-79 win over SMU tonight proved they belong in the NCAA Tournament!
