I dont understand the negativity on this thread. Joey has been a great forum member over the years. So what if he counts the wins and not the losses. So what if he has a sig line thanking Jesus. So what if he is getting excited about sports cards, even selling his coins to have more funds to pursue them? So what if he likes to gamble on YouTube. He shares his wins, yes. But I've never seen him brag about it
Does any of that merit the insults some of you are lobbing at him? You ever see this guy being disrespectful to ANYONE here?
Joey, I say do what interests you and what makes you happy. It's not OUR money, and we don't get to tell you what is right and wrong. I've enjoyed your coin roll searching threads over the years and wish you well if you are moving on.
You may just wish to try a little of both. Good luck
I just skimmed through the posts (most of which I’d already read) and saw only one that I’d characterize as disrespectful. It was subsequently called out by more than one respondent. The large majority of replies have been supportive and/or cautionary out of concern for Joey.

Thank you!
I'm just sharing my thoughts.
Remember, if any read my past posts.
I recently Retired.
Many things on my mind.
Real time to go over future plans!
My priorities.
God, Family.
All other stuff can be a stumbling stone.
Including my possessions and everyday Life.
Taking inventory of myself, that's all.
Thank you ALL for your support and guidance throughout this long ride.
Love y'all.
That's all my threads about.
Time to solely focus more on Him!

He's been called a braggart, an addict, non collector, hypocrite, that just wants to make a quick buck. Even criticized the man for promoting religion.
I've never known him to be any of those things, really.
He just does his own thing and has the audacity to talk to us about it.

Please, switch hobbies. You really don't seem to be a collector any who. Your constant bragadosa is nauseating.
Your whole approach of any thread started seems to be a contradiction to your sig line which I find offensive. It should be removed. Religion is cool, promoting one secular religion in a sig line is not.
Ask Jesus what to do I guess. The answer is right there.
Why bother those of us that are not interested in your supposed collecting issue. And I am fully aware that I did not need to click on this thread. I just wanted to see what train wreck from a hypocrite was on deck now.
Why don't you go hang out on the music thread and leave us REAL collectors alone.
There is nothing wrong with differences of opinions. No need to scold someone and have them leave because you don't agree with what they stated.
If you start a thread- be prepared for opposing opinions.
I predict one day we will ALL be tired of this current "woke" mentality.
I agree, there's nothing wrong with differences of opinion. Which means you should respect my opinion.
Did I say something wrong or insulting to @fox9487? This guy @fox9487 (in my opinion) attacked Joey. The guy has been here 9 years, has 297 post, only started 6 discussions and apparently hangs out in the music forum.
So you're defending what @fox9487 said? I'd rather see him defend himself.

Hi guys,
Well, this could be a game changer? Sorry, pun intended! 😆
Recently been in the Sports Card game.
Not too long ago, I purchased 4 Caitlin Clark, Graded cards from PSA/BGS.
Since then, I
occasionally been picking up some Basketball & Baseball boxes up.
Well, being aware of Caitlin's Hot Cards.
Soon after, then I heard of the Victor Wembanyama craze!
Because of my recent buys, I've come across some nice valued cards!
Today, I ripped a pack from a box of,
2023, 24 Topps Chrome Basketball
and found a Victor Wembanyama
Green Parallel RC. $170!
Added to my other lower valued Wembys (12).
So, I've been flipping many of my coins for the Boxes!
Then finding out, some are profitable. Making out very well.
Don't get me wrong.
I still Love the Coin Hobby and it's coins but my passion has been leaning more to the Cards side.
Sure, you guys are probably going to suggest to me, "why not do both?"
Well, we'll see.
After my new Retirement life Segway...
Maybe, it's time?
Just a thought for now guys.
Thank you ALL.
I still love you all!

You don't think Jesus approves of gambling on YouTube? 😉
Was wondering when you were going to chime in?
It really wasn't about you but the person who posted. I don't care what you do. I'm also fairly certain Jesus doesn't either.

Okay maybe I am addicted...

Changing my hobby interests?
All because of 2 phenomenons in sports. Caitlin C. & Victor Wembanyama!
They most certainly peaked my financial interest.
What a pair of great athletes!
Wow!
Plus, they're sports cards aren't all that bad as well.

Those newer cards mixed in are my son’s can’t sell those. He wants to be on a card someday currently playing 14U.
Later I’ll take some pics of all and post them just in case you could spot something good.
Joey,
I seen that your thread was moved to the card site. Let me tell you, I’m sorry a few took to bashing. As far as I’m concerned you’re right up there with the legend of Ricko…….you’re the best! I enjoy everyone of your posts and your cup of Starbucks in the console. You do what you enjoy. I would rather have many hobbies than just one, which I do. Being retired will allow you the time and focus. And anyone that hangs at LG is too cool. And ever time I see a your post , your reference to Jesus reminds me of just how blessed I am in this life.
