Will he sign my Nick Butler Rookie card?

Head down after training and join the line

Bought a sealed box of 93/94 Skybox Premium off eBay for around $100 during covid. Probably should get all the inserts graded, seems to be the way it's all going now.

I think alot of those old boxes are re-printed old cards as opposed to ones that have just been found somewhere.
They did that with some of the old AFL series as well (mid 90's).

Pretty sure that's not the case..

Select are a pack of mugs who can't even be arsed putting stats or comments on the back of their cards.

 

[tiger_tough]

I've got the folder. I'm nothing if not organised.

 

[hairy biker]

Will trade for Penelope Cruz.

See like would a nerd trade for like a hot chick n things?



PS Mother says they'll be even more valuable in time.

About 10 years ago a bunch of mates and I decided to have a piss up at home and everyone had to bring a box of basketball cards. Doing a search on eBay at the time, I couldn't believe it: you could get a lot of those early 90s boxes, still sealed, for like $30-40. Can't recall exactly how much, but I got a box of Fleer Ultras from 1994 and I'm positive I wouldn't have paid more than $50, i just wanted as many packs as possible to crack open and make jokes about the players, wasn't fussed about the going value of them. Others bought boxes from the (then) modern era, which only had like four cards in a pack and a lot of the packs had this cardboard packing junk in it, because the special cards contain a patch of a player's game worn uniform, so they had to hide it so you couldn't tell from the outside which packs had the prized cards.

Such a great day, highly recommend if those bargains can still be had on eBay, although considering those boxes were probably like $130-150 when they were first released, you probably shouldn't expect to get rich from it.

Memories... ah... apologies to those who weren't obsessed with basketball cards 30 years ago for the slight derailing.

Check out on YouTube the abandoned Cadillac plant in Detroit.

It was used to store early 90’s trading cards as a result of the explosion in popularity and there are thousands of unopened boxes still sitting there wasting away in the elements. It’s not hard to imagine somebody just taking them for the purpose of selling them online.

Yeah I had a quick look on eBay at the going rate following this discussion and looked to me like the days of getting those 30 year old boxes for the equivalent of about a buck a pack were long gone.

Gawn was seen enjoying himself vocally at melbourne's xmas break up party days after their last training session, which got a bit "rowdy", before MFC's statement about fracturing his voice box at training which was several days before the break up

I wonder what May have happened.

 

[Blightys Barrel]

So what is Carlton and the AFL not really saying about Luke Sayers and his sudden resignation from the Board despite not doing anything??

I really wonder what the AFL Integrity Unit does in these situations as part of their investigations? Are they skilled in IT forensics and have access to Sayers Phone/Laptop and X Account to map IP locations/dates/times to confirm it was definitely not his actions and a rogue operator. Was he drinking with mates, or in bed reading a Gladwell book? If so, then produce this level of detail and be transparent with the public.

Or do they pull out this extra big AFL broom that specializes in sweeping blame and accountability under carpets for the old boys network? I am pretty sure the 101 PR Playbook these days for anyone who does something dumb on social media is “My Account was compromised”.

 

[GreyCrow]

Or he fesses up it was his wife who got access and wanted to shame him and the gf

This is an explanation that best fits all of the facts.

Does it really matter now as it's the same result. Do the AFL know the truth? Probably.

If it was his wife then the AFL couldn't really act on that anyway. If it was him you probably let him stand down and let him and his family deal with the fallout themselves. Do the AFL really need to help the media in this case.

Unless his wife went completely insane then the only reason she would post that from his account is because she caught him cheating with that woman, and if the president of an AFL club is having an affair with an executive of a club sponsor, then yes it does matter.

Melbourne is just a playground for grown up children and once you throw in the biggest thing in town, football, that generates heaps of attention and money then it's going to result in all these people sleeping together.

These people might have cash and clout but they're total buffoons, if you think some clown who is head of an AFL club is Einstein and Orwell rolled into a non-cheating one, then I have some magic beans to sell you. and that's stocks in Fremantle FC.

I don't think that at all. What I do think is that if the leader of a club is jeopardising the club's reputation and financials because he can't keep his dick in his pants, then he should be named and shamed.

This shit happens all the time, men and women in an exciting industry with power imbalances, the only issue is he was dumb enough to get caught (because a lot of wealthy people are actually really dumb).

Sponsorships are the same thing but to a lesser degree, people don't sponsor clubs because of 'value,' it's because their mate is a CEO at that company and his friend is high up at that football club.

From players to high ranking members of staff, they're mostly in arrested development.
