Why is Joe Burrow's injury history more important to pundits than Lamar Jackson's injury history? Jackson gets a pass from the media that Burrow never does.

I looked it up and while Jackson has played two more seasons than Burrow, Jackson has missed 13% of his games to injury while Burrow has missed just under 19% of his games. I would love for Burrow to be healthier but The Bengals have been to a Super Bowl and an AFC Championship in Burrow's 6 seasons and Jackson has not reached those levels in his 8 injury plagued seasons.

I've been listening to jazz for 30ish years and deep into collecting the originals on vinyl for more than a decade but I didn't give Ptah, the El Daoud a chance until today. That was an oversight.

I popped into my honey hole the other day and they had just put a NM/NM first press copy on the wall still in the shrink wrap for $139. I've been scared off by a lot of free jazz and tend to prefer modal and hard bop stuff but at that price I figured it was finally time to give it a shot. I figured if I didn't like it I could easily get my money back plus some. I finally got a chance to spin it today and I'm currently spinning side 2. This record is nowhere near as out there as I assumed it would be. I'm very happy with this purchase and this one will be getting a lot of spins.

What is the best junk era box under $100 with names kids now would recognize when they pull them and there might be crds worth more than pennies?

My brother and I collected up until around 1991 and we want to rip some nostalgia packs with his boys age 10 and 13. I bought a box of 1989 Score baseball for super cheap to rip at the ballpark but baseball has so many players and very few they will recognize. I'm thinking basketball because of smaller rosters and names like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, etc. Is 1990-1991 Skybox basketball the sweet spot? I remember the cards being high quality and super cool designs.

I bought an unopened box of '89 Score Baseball (36 packs) for $20 yesterday to open with my 10 and 12 year old nephews when they come visit me for a Reds Cubs Game in July. How did I do?

I thought it might be fun to rip a bunch of packs with them at the ballpark and for $20 it seemed like a good price for some fun. I know it's junk wax and nothing will be valuable but I was 10 in '89 and my brother was 12 so there should be some good nostalgia to pass their way. Are there any cards we should look out for in that set and put in a sleeve if they pull it?

Would this be considered a fancy serial or would it be worth over face?

I just got this $20 from the atm and I noticed that while not in order it consistes of all numbers 1-8. Its definitely in good but circulated condition.
