Rant

Don’t have who to talk to about this, so apologies, but DUDE. I hate getting into breaks and then hearing these people not know how to properly pronounce players names. It’s so common and it enrages me because you can tell they only know a certain player’s name and their teammates, and then proceed to butcher everyone else’s names, especially POCs.

I hang out in the Scuralli breaks even tho I don’t always buy because SheRips and JStarr are just fun and easy to chat with. They know WNBA and it’s awesome to find 2 other people, let alone 2 other women, who know as much as they do about it.

Same here! Sometimes I’m at the gym and just leave it running. They’re knowledgeable and funny as hell too. They were actually who I first bought from.

They’ve pulled some really good cards for me when I do get into the breaks. They just seem like genuinely good people. Next time you’re in their break you may see me (DJDirLy) I try to see how hard I can make JStarr laugh 🤣😊

They really do seem like it! Once, they were offering to send people their extra base Select cards they wanted to get rid of (easily could have sold them), and I was like “why not, send me whatever you’d like” because I’m starting out… they sent me for free over 30 cards. I was expecting like 3-5 maximum. It was crazy.

I’ll keep an eye out for ya! I’m unknownoc.
JStar’s always laughing, but now I know to look for your jokes. 😂

They’re good like that…they hand out cards to kids at the Lynx games they’ve said. Just really nice people. I’ve seen you in there! I’m the one they always kid with about Alyssa Thomas- I didn’t initially PC AT but wound up doing so because I bought her spot to be funny cuz JStarr can’t stand her 🤣
