Sports cards are popular again and stores are flooded with them. Anyone else getting back into this hobby? It has a nostalgic feel if you grew up trading baseball cards and it's a nice break from the digital world. I've ripped some Topps and Panini packs, but I'm trying not to get addicted. Haven't found any interesting cards with autographs or jersey patches yet, but I'm happy to have base cards of my favorite players.

safe to assume you throw away the card of any non-white player?

I don't know if you know this, but ideology and race are not the same thing. Disliking radical Islam is not equal to disliking non-whites. Better get busy knitting your vagina hat for the next No Kings rally.

^^ why did you feel the need to bring up Somalians in multiple threads?

4/9/2026 7:21:59 PM

Somalia’s laws and values are antithetical to western laws and values, with the death penalty, imprisonment, and physical punishments imposed for apostasy, homosexuality, blasphemy, etc. In addition, Somali Americans have committed widespread fraud and used the funds to support terrorist groups like Al Shabaab. There are likely some Somalis who would benefit our country, but importing large numbers of people who don’t share our values is a recipe for societal decay, as we are seeing.

Somalis: the only nationality to ever commit widespread fraud!

You have a toxic mix of support for shariah law and massive fraud. Sounds like a dumb idea to invite millions over.

I don’t know any Republicans who want to impose the death penalty for apostasy, but public opinion polls in Muslim countries have shown that the majority of their citizens do think you should be killed if you leave Islam.

" According to the Pew Research Center's "The World’s Muslims: Religion, Politics and Society" report published in 2013, 88% of Egyptian Muslims surveyed favored the death penalty for people who convert from Islam to another religion. Context: This figure was among the highest in the 37 countries where the question was asked."

Somalia is more conservative than Egypt, so I imagine the percentage is even higher there.

Not picking sides here, but TGL3 derailed the thread first, AND brought up Somalians first. For the record

4/9/2026 7:56:50 PM

Hf is frequently in TSB posting trollishly so I have no problem pointing it back, but for the record I'm done

It's okay, I hear inserting politics in non-political discussions is one of the side effects of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

I think my mom still has all my baseball cards from mid to late 90's, thats kinda when i was in it. I have like a whole set of i think 95 tops baseball. Have very few cards outside of baseball, i got the michael jordan card that came out in mcdonalds

The jersey patch cards are the biggest gimmick ever. It’s just got a random piece of fabric on it, not even associated with the player, probably cost them 5 cents to make. Those card companies send all of the big cards to the social media tools who open packs online so they can advertise their junk. Who would’ve ever guessed the 1/1 Kobe-Honus Wagner-Trump on card auto would be in a pack opened on MegaBreaker69420’s stream with 5 million followers?

got this on eBay for $45.47

4/9/2026 9:27:53 PM

I can hear Don West screaming though my TV at 2am trying to sell that card

4/9/2026 9:50:03 PM

^^Can you pm me the prompt for that? That looks really good!

"Total Systemic Fraud Estimate: Federal prosecutors and investigators estimate that between $1 billion and $9 billion may have been stolen since 2018. This estimate is based on the finding that more than half of the $18 billion spent on 14 state-run programs during that period may have been fraudulent."

"Yes, analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) indicates that Somali immigrants in the United States, particularly in Minnesota, have one of the highest welfare consumption rates among all immigrant nationality groups."

"Data indicates that a significant portion of Somali Americans, particularly within the adult, first-generation immigrant population, face challenges with English proficiency, often experiencing lower rates of "very well" English-speaking ability compared to both native residents and certain other immigrant groups. In specific regions with high concentrations of Somali immigrants, such as Minnesota, studies have found that approximately 50-58% of working-age Somalis speak English less than "very well," a hurdle that can persist even after more than a decade of U.S. residency."

Quote :

"Support for Sharia: Interviews have shown some Somali immigrants in the U.S. stating they prefer Sharia law over American law, saying it is a key component of their faith. Cultural Identity: Some individuals have noted that they feel more closely aligned with their Somali culture and faith than with American culture. Desire for Sharia in Somalia: Surveys of Somali people have shown a strong preference for Sharia to be used as the basis for civil and criminal law in Somalia."
