It'd have to be in damn good shape. The main reason that's the case is because of how hard they are to find (and how difficult those grades are to achieve for a card from that era). For example, the main grading company, PSA, only has ONE Reggie Jackson rookie card that's ever been graded 10 out of 10. There are only 42 that were graded a 9.
Unless it was absolutely perfect, it tops out around 10 grand, but is more likely in the 600-1000 range.
A Pele auto is really high on my list to grab next. I'm finding it hard to prioritize and pick because sometimes it's about what comes up at the right price. That means I grabbed a Joe DiMaggio auto instead this week...Soon, though.
I understand it just fine. The refs thought it was impossible for Trey Burke to do something that awesome without fouling, so they called it on instinct. Burke was just that good.
"One good year" is sometimes what it takes to identify coaching talent. In a market where coaches' leashes get shorter and shorter, schools are even faster to jump on the first mid-major coach that has a decent season.
Your problem is not with May (or even Enfield, for that matter). It's with a system that doesn't afford teams any other option. This is college sports in 2024.
I don't think anyone here is gonna argue that it was a good thing. But the word you're using is important: acceptable.
To answer that question, it requires context. In the middle of the Super Bowl, after a tough turnover on a play Kelce felt he should've been in on...the answer is yeah, it's acceptable. Doesn't mean it's good, but you give stars like Kelce a certain amount of latitude for stuff like this, especially when it wasn't malicious.
Good? No. Acceptable, as in "able to be accepted without further consequences given the situation"? Yeah.
Do I think it's the absolute best-case scenario? No. But it's a fine hire. One thing I like about it in particular is the fact that Sherrone won't have to manage Martindale much and gives him a MASSIVELY experienced DC in his first-ever head coaching job.
This means he can give Martindale autonomy and learn FROM HIM about how to manage a defense on the job. To me, this is a sign that Moore wants to keep improving and is thinking about this in the long term.
A wealth of experience his first couple years will help him a) get established with the defense with a known quantity and b) make a better hire when Martindale leaves after a couple years having equipped Moore with a new set of tools to move forward.
This is surprising. I feel like one more year would've really opened up his possibilities. Either way, best of luck to him. He has a chance to be an impact player in the NFL.
This is a really interesting way of thinking about it, and one I had considered but wasn't sure how to articulate. Maybe I'm not giving Saban enough credit.
Well, think of it this way: they'll have coordinator money because now they don't have to pay their head coach $16M a year. If they don't open up the coffers for Moore's coordinators, it's gonna be a terrible look.
I think Harbaugh coming out and endorsing Moore is a great step toward "doing it right." I don't actually know that there's much else to do differently, but I'm interested to hear what doing it right would look like for you.
Yes, correct. The same Eric Bieniemy who played for the Chargers at the beginning of his career, led multiple offenses among the best in the league, and was a key name in head coaching searches for the better part of the last 3 years.
If you're gonna cherrypick, at least make it interesting.
It seems like he would've seen plenty of the field given the current WR corps...This plus the move back home makes me think it's not just about his place on the depth chart.
This is not a negative, btw. Sometimes kids need different things. If being closer to your support system is what you need, that's completely valid.
The fact that there's back and forth about this is proof that this entire move was pointless and they forced their starter to transfer while making precisely zero appreciable gains at QB.
This is clearly a last resort after losing out on Ward or whoever else they were after. Total desperation move.
Simply put, the defense is the reason Michigan won today. Bailed special teams out of some tight spots, held strong in key moments, forced a HUGE turnover...the entire road to victory went through them.
There's no coaching snowflakes thread as I'm writing this so I'll add: Minter coached his ass off. Absolutely killer game from him.
You have utterly bonkers expectations about the maturity and decision-making of 17 and 18-year-old kids. I don't even think there are many players on Michigan's current roster who would live up to them if you saw the entire process.
I don't know if you're talking to me on this because the formatting is tough to tell. However, if you are: I wasn't saying I had any superior knowledge whatsoever. I was saying that he has no insight into what my life experience is or what I know, because I am (as you said) a poster on the internet. He made an assumption that I haven't seen these parts of life. He's mistaken, but the point isn't what I know. It's that he knows nothing about me.
Yeah it's not like Chicago has a thriving food scene, awesome music, great cocktails, fun shopping, solid pizza (Pequod's only, thanks), 6 major sports teams (including soccer), decently reliable transit, a world-class artistic culture, and a fun and exciting blend of cultures that give it a unique personality.
I agree with that too. However, if something does happen, I don't think those types of things are worth discussing. They can have their lives and we don't have to be involved.

Damn, you got married at 19? That's wild. Glad it's worked out for you though.
I truly don't see how you can say "he didn't jump" with any degree of seriousness.
That's fine I'll just stay away from Discovery Zone.
Kendrick Lamar would like a word.

This is a cool thread idea. Please don't get mad that I'm making an additional thread that's a little less specific to the Valiant set.
Seems like the LB corps is shaking out a little more clearly.
Mork Bucktonio? C'mon.
The Bengals front office seems to like Michigan players a lot. That's pretty cool.
Ugh and it's gonna happen SO many times, too...
I can't really think of a better situation for a QB to land in than being in charge of throwing a football to Justin Jefferson.
This is accurate, but let's be real: if we had a big 4 against Griffin, it probably wouldn't have mattered all that much.
I can't even believe it took until the first comment to get this joke in. I feel like it could've happened even sooner.

Not only was it clean, it was fucking spectacular.
Hike Mart, mustachioed former RB at Slippery Rock.
This should tell everyone exactly what OSU really thinks about Signgate when they're not talking to the public.
So you're literally saying Nobody's got it better than us?
This joke would be a lot more convincing if I didn't have "Boston" in my handle.
I think about the fried artichokes at LEAST once a week.

But your comment he was responding to was about Moore as a recruiter.

Oh yeah. I legitimately forgot about him. Completely.
*Warinner. My bad.
Ack.

I also said "develop, train, and develop", but I didn't need the rule of three.
My bad.

If there's a search now, all hell breaks loose.

Eric Bieniemy would be such a home run hire for the Chargers.
Oh man, Jerry Jones and Harbaugh would be like oil and napalm.

Damn I think you win the thread.
Two *similar* Michigan big plays served as defining moments (Griese to Streets x2, Edwards x2)
Both Washington opponents were held under 1/2 of their season average in points.
Been seeing it more and more recently. Everyone I know keeps talking about how all these women are serving Kant.
Holy shit please tell me Donovan Edwards has just been slow-rolling everyone
This feels a lot less terrible when it happens to someone I don't like.

People want to lean on gang violence in Chicago like it's the identifying characteristic of the city when it's not even in the 25 most dangerous places in the U.S. It's not even as dangerous as Indianapolis in homicide rate.
Fun talking point, though. Also Joliet sucks.
You’re embarrassing.
