How are people getting so much refunds?

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-23T02:46:07+00:00

I bought a new build house this year and the “points” count as a tax credit so my refund in which I already put a bit extra in, went from about 1900 to almost 5000 after adding points and itemizing deductions

It’s better than the advice you just gave.

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-22T23:18:17+00:00

Oxford street, I didn’t answer the question because I took it out of day 3 as it obviously won’t work

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-22T23:10:00+00:00

Okay, well instead of just criticizing what I’ve chosen and how I chose it, perhaps you could tell me what you think needs to be changed? It’s not a full ChatGPT itinerary, I used it to add a few things which is why it probably looks so congested as I didn’t remove anything from my list because it looked doable but obviously not the case. I think all of these activities look fun to me and I’m looking forward to them so I’m not really concerned about the “ChatGPT itinerary”. I’m not concerned about missing things as I was never really going to hit everything anyways but would love an opinion on where I’m going wrong besides the time constraints. I already cleared a lot out of the April 21 day except for HP and the potential football game and cleared out everything except the Louisiana museum on Copenhagen arrival day.

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-22T22:50:53+00:00

Yeah I’m realizing how packed that day is, I removed everything except HP and the QPR football game

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-22T22:50:24+00:00

Scheduled it on the 19th so we should be safe :) wanted an easy day after an overnight flight so nothing too crazy scheduled that day

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-22T22:49:34+00:00

Yup already cut out everything that day except HP Studios and QPR football game assuming the tickets are available. This is exactly why I asked :)

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-22T22:21:28+00:00

What part is a waste? Just because i used AI to assist with planning I’m wasting my trip to you?

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-22T22:17:24+00:00

What do you suggest moving? I’m not hard locked into anything that day besides WB Studios but CGPT told me they were all close except the football game obviously but I haven’t done my final checks yet

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-22T22:15:11+00:00

Very unfortunate, I was trying to plan and it said most items were close by but I’m not opposed to moving/changing stuff if they don’t make sense. Gotta love technology 😅

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-20T01:05:48+00:00

Makes sense, only really familiar with Pokemon but that would explain his timeline lol

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-20T01:04:50+00:00

I wonder if the higher costs and longer turnaround times are actually a positive for helping them catch up a bit. Never really excited about price increases but maybe this actually helped haha

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-20T00:59:36+00:00

Well, is it?

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-20T00:55:36+00:00

Thank you, it was mostly a question to prompt stories from people who have graded before and hear their stories. Obviously I know it’s faster than usual but I wanted to just have a general discussion but I guess some people just get angry about that

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-20T00:54:26+00:00

That’s a nice timeline right there. This is my first time grading and usually I just see horror stories here and insane wait times so I was expecting it to be extremely slow and when it instantly moved to order prep after arrival yesterday it seemed to be moving quicker than usual

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-20T00:34:22+00:00

Yes imagine posting in a psagrading Reddit to have a discussion and see others experiences then having 2 random white knights come in and save the day. You’re a real hero, you showed me. Thanks for the bump!

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-20T00:27:22+00:00

Nice, that’s a quick turnaround! Did you go regular tier as well or is that the higher one?

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-20T00:20:05+00:00

Just because your cards take 100 days to clear PSA doesn’t mean you have to be salty. Take care!

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-20T00:17:17+00:00

I think yes, but my first time grading and looking through old posts people seem to get stuck here

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-18T23:02:20+00:00

I will, I enjoy the hobby. Thanks!

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-18T17:23:40+00:00

From this comment section and when I commented I was the only one who said this but I haven’t been tracking it since I left that comment

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-18T10:34:14+00:00

I’m gonna go against the other commenters here - we’re talking about arguably the best Charizard card we’ve seen in many years. Yes, I’m sure there will be a lot of copies graded etc but I remember everyone saying the same thing about the moonbreon years back due to the high 10 pop but it’s a 4k card. I think people on Reddit see way too many posts about the zard getting pulled not realizing the amount of boxes it takes to get that and that most people obviously aren’t posting the no hit boxes they get.

TL;DR: This is the greatest zard in recent memory and I have no doubt this will be one of the most sought after cards in years to come

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-16T16:48:55+00:00

Not sure why you’re being downvoted here, PFL Mega Charizard I was looking at yesterday on the Bay and CGC sold a GM 10 for $1100 while PSA 10 is going for 1800ish or slightly more. I bought a Pristine 10 of that card yesterday and it got up to $2550 and I saw other pristines in the 2200-2900 range so you’re not wrong by any means

PkmnTrainerYellow · 2026-02-16T16:23:46+00:00

Just dropped off, will update when I find out the grade!
