The saying "be careful what you wish for" is a reminder that we should not take our wishes lightly. We should think about the potential consequences of our wishes before we make them. Sometimes, what we wish for may not be what we really want. And sometimes, our wishes may come true in a way that we never expected.I wanted to be tagged, I got tagged. It didn't go how I wanted it to

Being nice is about being kind and considerate to others. It means being helpful and understanding, even when it's not easy. It means being respectful and polite, even to people you don't know or don't like.There are many ways to be nice. You can hold the door open for someone, let someone go ahead of you in line, or give up your seat on the bus. You can compliment someone's appearance or their work. You can simply smile at someone and say hello.Being nice doesn't cost anything, but it can make a big difference in someone's day. It can make someone feel welcome, appreciated, and cared for. It can also make the world a better place.

Prospecting baseball players are young players who have the potential to play in Major League Baseball (MLB). They are typically signed by MLB teams as amateur free agents or drafted out of high school or college. Prospecting players are often evaluated based on their physical skills, such as their speed, power, and arm strength, as well as their baseball IQ and ability to hit and field.Vintage baseball players are former MLB players who are no longer active. Their cards are often collectible because they are no longer being produced. Vintage cards can be valuable, especially if they are in good condition.There are pros and cons to collecting both prospecting baseball players and vintage players.Prospecting baseball players have the potential to become great players, which can make their cards very valuable. However, there is no guarantee that they will reach their full potential. Many prospecting players never make it to the majors, and even those who do may not have long careers.Vintage baseball players are known quantities. They have already proven themselves to be great players, and their cards are often more stable in value. However, vintage cards can be expensive, and the market for them can be volatile.Ultimately, the best way to decide which type of baseball cards to collect is to consider your own personal preferences and goals. If you are looking for the potential for high rewards, then prospecting baseball players may be a good option for you. If you are looking for more stability and value, then vintage baseball players may be a better choice.Here are some additional things to consider when deciding whether to collect prospecting baseball players or vintage players:Your budget: Vintage cards can be very expensive, especially if they are in good condition. Prospecting cards are typically more affordable.Your time horizon: If you are looking to invest in baseball cards for the long term, then vintage cards may be a better option. Prospecting cards are more of a gamble, as there is no guarantee that the players will reach their full potential.Your personal preferences: Some people prefer to collect cards of players who they are familiar with. Others prefer to collect cards of players who have the potential to become great.
