Gotta be honest -- and this is just cause, as you probably know, the pandemic kinda tightened things up for all of us -- personally I would not pay $15Gs for the autograph of Randal Grichuk or Tyler Matzek, at least not until I get the chance to move some money around.

Seems like a better use of money than paying tens of thousands of dollars to own a jpeg

Huh, I got a box of my old cards in the mail from my folks recently. Guess I should go through and see if there are any hidden gems. Is there a site that breaks down value by series or something?

This is one of the cards that piqued my interest in silly baseball cards and I was stoked when I found someone selling one for like $7

I had been collecting cards in a "maybe something cool with be in them" way and getting autographs of mostly random guys as my best things (with La Tortuga as my best). I never saw any last year after the shutdown and I assumed Topps just wasn't shipping any really for 2020. It was really because people are speculating on everything now?

OOTP owns and anyone with a passing interest in baseball or sports games in general should get it.

Also MLB The Show is the best non-management sports video game and you should get that even if you don't really like baseball or sports video games.

I wish EHM had the super involved expansion team system that OOTP does

last year, mlb extra innings was basically just mlb.tv. like, they just put the mlb.tv feed of whatever game on the right channel.

is that how it's always been? i really was hoping to get the local broadcast via mlb extra innings. but if it's just a more expensive version of mlb.tv, why bother?

unless things have changed you can choose between home and away broadcasts, which for most teams is the local fox sports affiliate.

importantly for royals fans this means you can get rex hudler wherever you might be

right. so mlb.tv gives you the home and away feeds for each game. but they replace the local commercials with a rotation of like 3 amazingly annoying commercials, and those feeds are delayed by about a minute because they have to route through ny and the mlb.tv infrastructure. for fantasy baseball and gambling purposes, i was hoping for a way to watch the actual, non-mlb.tv home and away feeds that don't have that delay.

\/ the radio feeds through mlb.tv?

News: MASN is rolling out an app this year to stream Nats and O’s games, but the broadcasting rights quagmire means it’s like trying to watch HBO in 2012 and you need a cable subscription or someone’s login.

Views: I look forward to once again watching almost no local games this year as this dumb sport continues to try and kill my rooting interest.

It's hard for me to watch O's games ever since they told Gary Thorne to gently caress off. He and Jim Palmer were one of my favorite broadcasting duos. :(
