  1. There are definitely guys doing that. I don't have a problem with it. If people are willing to sell them, what's the big deal? One of them does it routinely and I always buy from him for cheap when I can't make the games. I get the regulars off him for $10. If he's going to all that trouble to make $5 a bobble, let him. I go with my dad or roommate and neither collects. We always go in different doors. The bobbles come in boxes marked either regular or mixed. So it's tough to get 2 retros back to back. I've had decent success. I've probably pulled a retro about 1/3 of the times I've gone on bobble day. Probably 5/15 or so.
  2. Anyone hear anything regarding alternates of George Scott?
  3. I know them very well. The only extra penalty is the excess fee stated and he will have to get an interlock ignition system in his vehicle (anything over .15). In addition to the fines, he'll have to take 21 hours of classes ($300), get an alcohol assessment ($300) and his license will be suspended for 6 months. He can get a work permit. $200 to get it reinstated after the suspension. Obviously all of this stuff is pretty moot for a pro athlete. Unfortunately I once got a DUI, I was at .09. Driving home from family Christmas party, sped a little bit, etc. I know WI does have comparatively soft laws, but don't be mistaken, a first DUI is a major pain in the ass for a regular guy. $2k in up-front costs, much, much more if you get a lawyer, which I didn't. I knew I was stupid and took it. And that doesn't even count the skyrocketing insurance you'll be paying for years. It's plenty of reason to never do it again, which I haven't and won't. The people who get multiple offenses have problems.
  4. Granted he was the victim, but he was robbed at like 3am awhile back in a not-so-great part of town. With the protection/services he can afford and the target on his back, clearly not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
  5. I was lucky enough to get a retro Aoki, so I need the white. I will buy or trade. I have extras of Axford, Melvin and Nyjer Morgan to trade. Let me know, thanks.
  6. Everyone needs to relax. They'll be fine.
  7. All true, but I'm addicted. I wish I had your sensibility.
  8. I have no interest in the mystery ones, they're usually lame, or the fan's choice stuff. I only like the ones directly related to the Brewers. The minor league ones have gotten a little less Brewery the last few years and I'm fine with that.
  9. I find it really hard to believe there will be alternates of the Hart bobble. I was hoping for no retro but I won't kid myself and claim I'm going to change anything. I'll still be getting each and every one. I imagine it will be like the Counsell one (I think that was the one) that only came in one edition.
  10. It really makes you appreciate what Ryan Braun did for this franchise.
  11. I have mine on the exact same shelf.
  12. Picked up the Braun ST bobble today. Does anyone know for sure yet if they are done with alternates this season? A guy can dream.
  13. He brings nothing to the table anyway.
  14. I can't believe there's even one person who believes Braun's tales anymore.
  15. Hope he pitches against the Brewers.
  16. I'd give you $80 for the ROMLB and the GG Yount ball.
  17. But, please, please, PLEASE, do away with the retros/alternates.
  18. I think it's solid. Good mix of stars, young guys and obscure old school guys.
  19. Thanks guys. The book was perfect, as long as he hasn't read it. Just ordered it. He grew up on that team, so I think he'll LOVE that. I'll throw in another extra thing too.
  20. I got my uncle for secret santa, he is a big baseball/Milwaukee baseball guy, and I like to give good gifts, so does anyone have ideas? Looking <$50 range.
  21. I have a Braun jersey in a case that I got on eBay, I want to say it was $40, but it was a great purchase. I love it. I can't find that seller anymore. Anyone have any of these laying around or know where I can get one?
  22. No amount of metrics will convince me that clutch doesn't exist. It's human nature. I feel like anyone who has played sports knows that clutch exists. Even going back to high school sports, on the teams I played with, there were always those kids who were decent but not great but always seemed to get the big takedown, hit the big three, and other kids who maybe were better most of the time but got shy with the game on the line. There are definitely players who seem to shine in the big moment, or at the very least remain calm and perform the same regardless of the situation. And there are definitely others who seem to be more prone to letting the moment get the best of them.
