@bustinboxes605 @CardPurchaser

Just remember…for every post you see this week of HUGE hits from a hobby box there are 2000 others that didn’t post the massive loss they took! @CardPurchaser

@Nerdrotics @robertliefeld This reminds me of Aladdin when Jafar is a cosmic, powerful genie, but then he has an itty-bitty living space.

@robertliefeld A big number for sure. What was the actual profit? The layoffs say it might not have been much.

Still flexing.

@HustleBitch_ Yet we worship congress women and celebrities who get this done bc they can afford it.

🚨 GUYS ARE SMASHING THEIR OWN FACES WITH HAMMERS TO “LOOKSMAXX” — DOCTORS ARE SOUNDING THE ALARM ON THE CLAVICULAR TREND A disturbing trend is spreading online: Young men are deliberately hitting their cheekbones and jaws with hammers, pans, anything they can find, believing it will make them more “chiseled.” It’s being pushed by influencer “Clavicular” (800K followers), who claims: “When you break the bone, it grows back stronger.” Doctors warn this can lead to: • Permanent nerve damage • Facial paralysis or numbness • Brain injury + concussions • In one case: a fracture behind the eye → blindness Experts say this trend is fueling body dysmorphia among young men, driven by social media pressure and extreme “looksmaxing” culture. Who do you blame more... the influencer or the people doing it?

@DefiantLs You just have to clean the rain shower head, and the door handles break if you’re rough on em. Otherwise they’re fine. I didn’t watch the rest of the video bc this is just advice for bad homeowners

This is great advice.

@Nerdrotics @robertliefeld To be fair he did say $$ and not profit lol

Boom! Newsflash! Disney makes $$$$

@Nerdrotics What, that even if we had a record breaking regular season, we will choke in the playoffs? And if we don’t choke in the playoffs and make it to the word series, we will get swept? lol

My Padres IYKYK

@DiscussingFilm I was so excited. This trailer undid that. Ugh

@itsgeoffwilson @CardsHQShop

Wooooooooow I cannot believe we hit this!!! @CardsHQShop

@TheCineprism So, that photo was a choice…lol

Invincible S4E7: "Don't Do Anything Rash", is the highest rated episode of the show.

@AndyCollectz But everyone’s worried about paramount and WB bc we pay adult pretenders millions to play pretend.

PSA Parent Company, Collectors Holdings, faces antitrust lawsuit over SGC, Beckett acquisitions. "Collectors Holdings Inc faces proposed class action alleging acquisition of SGC and Beckett created an illegal monopoly, harming trading card hobby enthusiasts with higher prices and poor service standards."

@BeFreeNeo @CardPurchaser That’s wild you think 3x or 200% mark up is not even close in any industry when there’s ample evidence. Enjoy your bubble.

@nonexpertt @CardPurchaser I research markets every day for a living, silly goose. So I agree, no need to argue.

You're telling me a local card shop can get product straight from Topps and sell to customers 3x/4x the price straight from the supplier? How is this different than scalping? @CardPurchaser

@Rough_Buff tree fitty

So if Topps Josh Allen autos are 1K plus…what does a random Rookie auto /60 get?

@AlexLathery i don't use ahrefs, i use AI, but I give it files from Google Ads, Keyword Planner, GA4, and SEarch console, and you'd be surprise how good of analysis and recommendations you can get. ai is amazing if you give it the data to analyze, and then give it clear direction.

I used to be pretty all-in on Ahrefs for keyword rankings, traffic estimates, and all the usual SEO reporting. This year, though, I’ve had a few too many moments where I compare Ahrefs to Google Search Console and just sit there wondering how they can be looking at the same website. The gap is not small. You can look at Google Search Console and think a site is absolutely crushing it. Then open Ahrefs and see very little actual progress. Or sometimes the opposite. At a certain point, it gets hard to treat Ahrefs data as anything more than directional. I’ll still use it for keyword research, competitor analysis, and all of that. But reporting results off Ahrefs data alone just doesn’t make much sense to me anymore. The numbers are too far from reality.

@zuess05 my wife said electrician, or plumber, but you can build a busines and outsource the grunt work.

@zuess05 i told my son to go to college for finance or business, then you can just work as an executive in any field so you're not left to the whims of technology. everyone needs books done, or everyone needs people who can make businesses money.

Serious question. For the last 10 years, society told everyone "just learn to code" to escape the middle class. Now Claude writes the code. What exactly is the career advice for an 18-year-old right now?

@zuess05 you don't make money by doing the grunt work. you make money by learning what to do with the grunt work.

@BeFreeNeo @CardPurchaser that's just factually false. Google is free. If you want, you can research it, and if you don't want to, then I assume you just want to be right over trying to understand, so arguing any further is pointless.

@nonexpertt @CardPurchaser 300% is nowhere near standard markup in any market..

@_joshlake_ @BeFreeNeo @CardPurchaser Bingo.
