I was wrong about Thompson and am glad of it. I thought he was Drew Bledsoe on skates.

Page two of this thread and no Edmunds bashing yet? You guys are slipping.

Hold me closer Tommy Danson Count the headlights on the highway !ay me down in sheets of linen you had a busy day today

Just what a Super Bowl contending team needs; a rookie MLB calling the plays and his predecessor in Houston or somewhere.

I think we can be confident that Beane does due diligence +++++ on every relevant talent in the draft. This is not restricted to positions of need. Most on here would say a giant “no” is QB and I think that is 100% correct if you’re only considering someone who would start this year. With that said what if: 1. Beane saw no one at 25 he envisioned as a day 1 starter, who he couldn’t get 10 picks later or who he thought would earn a 5th year extension for certain…..that is possible in this year’s draft IMO….and/.or 2. He sees three+ relatively equal players he likes still on the board and likely to be available for 10ish picks and 3. As rumored QBs are all slipping. Personally I don’t think this happens but let’s say it does and/or 4. He truly sees one of the QBs as a real talent in the NFL with high confidence like he had in Allen Trading down is a real possibility here and I think the targets would be the Lions who have 32/34, the Falcons who have 43, Houston at 37, the Giants at 36, Seattle at 40/41 and a very slim chance of Tampa at 27. GB, the Steelers, Arz, could all pre-empt this move by doing the same but let’s say they don’t. KC could also desire to do this but they are behind us. Let’s say it gets to 25 intact If Beane doesn’t get the trade down done but: 1. He truly loves a particular QB, let’s say Malik Willis 2. He knows Houston, Seattle and Detroit all want him and are either expecting him to last or expecting to pick up one of KC’s picks. 3. He tries to trade out but they all play chicken with him thinking he can’t draft Willis and their offer to KC will be best Is there anyone on here that thinks Beane doesn’t have the guts to draft Willis and either: 1. Immediately double the demands he had been making for the trade down or 2. Draft him based on his evaluation knowing that this will pay off even bigger down the road? Beane 10000000000000% has the guts to do that and will; especially bullet 1 That’s why saying “no” to QB at 25 is incorrect. I fully understand that the scenario above is pretty unlikely to play out. For instance I don’t think Pitt passes on a QB at 20 or GB misses the same opportunity but unlikely is not the same as impossible.

Tuttle is somehow ok now?

I think this is the 23rd year in a row I’ve seen Kwon headed to Buffalo.

Tough plead rinks Edit: A variation of this is rough, plead, stink/misty. Trying to reverse engineer anything difficult to solve after using those three is quite a task. That exposes how easy the game should really be.

Dick Van who?

Did you get -15000 on that? If so good bet.

Any updates on this?

The safety he had in the 5th was just touted on GMF as a possible late 1st. So 5th seems like a big stretch.

Those are nice cards. A BGS 9.5 could be a PSA 10. Do they list sub grades? I have an ungraded Allen rookie NT dual patch /25 and the patches are nice. One is part of the Buffalo. No auto though. Grading is expensive and a pain in the butt. If I ever decide it is time to sell I’ll get certain cards graded. I have a few PSA 10 Allen rookies, serial numbered but no patch or auto. They are nice but not the upscale brands. Personally I am not a huge fan of Prizm but that is what people buy of the “regular” cards. I typically like the look of Select, Elite, Mosaic and even Donruss Optic more. I think football might be the way to go for the future. No way can hoop keep the upward trajectory it had. Baseball will always be around, especially the older guys and the market is mature. One thing I think is that pitchers, even old time HOF guys carry far less value than hitters based on their historical status. Nolan Ryan seems to be the exception but guys like Bob Gibson are pretty cheap when compared to their peer hitters. I’m not sure I see new baseball guys maintaining the sport’s edge in cards over new football guys. The serial number thing and wide variety of brands/ high end variety evened those things out. Non-QBs in football seem undervalued to me. A real prospect like Jeff Okudah should not cost about the same as a certain QB flameout like Eason or Ehlinger IMO.

It’s not. It’s wild and crazy but not illogical. Football cards generally rank third behind baseball and basketball. Baseball cards have a much longer history. The card you mention was serial numbered 1/1 where Allen’s is 1/10. The Dominguez purchase is crazy if you ask me; kid can’t even spell his own first name properly….but lesser cards of Mike Trout like 1/25; 1/50, etc. go for millions. If Dominguez becomes Trout that card will prove to be a good investment. The Yankees are still the king and rank way above the Angels and that comes into play as well. The odds of Dominguez becoming Trout are not realistic at all but if he does……

Just looked at this a little more: If you go to PSA’s site and look up the serial number of the card….43579193 it gives you some more detail and a better picture of the card. The things I saw as edge imperfections seem to have been merely reflections. The card is numbered 3/10 and is the only one of those 10 so far to be graded gem mint 10. There are likely others out there that are still ungraded and probably some graded lower or graded by other companies. The most interesting thing to me is that this exact card was purchased on EBay in April 2020 for just under $7000. 7k to 312k in just under 2 years is ok. Note that the seller did not likely get the full amount. The 312k usually is inclusive of a 20% buyers premium when Goldin is the auction house. Still.

Clearly there is a market for it no matter what either of us think.

Not sure I agree about the Allen card being OC. The NT cards don’t always look naturally centered even when they are. I will say that although pictures can be deceiving to me there seems to be an edge flaw on the left near the bottom.

I’ve seen this with cards from many players. I believe what we’re looking at is from a jersey with “Rookie” as the nameplate. These may be used in a minicamp that isn’t open to the public early on. You see these “oo”’s and R’s and k’s on a lot of these cards of guys whose names don’t match.

Everybody better yuck it up now because there isn’t much more time to complain about Dahlin.

Wait. Our goalies could be Levi, Strauss Mann? Get this done.

OMG with the Andrew Luck crap again.

They’re also on the road against two of the best teams in the Ieague..

I think it was Watson that wanted to discharge his service provision a little too often and that led to all of this.

I get that it is his parents’ fault buy Skyy? No thanks.

You’ve never seen that? Or someone doing that maneuver to let the person in front of them know to speed up? I’m not saying I’m a fan but I’ve seen it done. Nothing really. Just noting that there is a correlation between look at me outfits and me me me attitudes.
