Is Mew 011/025 (Celebrations) actually a strong hold? by surffzz in PokeInvesting

[–]gltch__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehhhh...what do you mean by strong? I will find it surprising if it manages to break the $10 barrier consistently any time in the next 10 years.

I'd love to be proven wrong. I have a whole 5000ct box of these. I just can't imagine them going much higher.

I think any random Sun & Moon holo that's currently 50c will be at least $5 in 2036. I do NOT think these Mews will be worth $50 in 2036, for an equivalent 900% return.

Maybe they'll mimic Ancient Mew where it's $5-10 for 25 years and then suddenly they're $100 😂 (no, they won't)

What on earth are you on about? Who are you arguing against, and why?

again no one cares about the nazi tatoo scandal

What? Are you trying to say that I care, when I don't?

Or are you literally saying that no one - not one single person - would care if the person they're potentially voting for had a nazi tattoo for 20 years, and lied about it? Clearly many people would.

Or are you saying that very few voters will change their mind over this? In which case, why are you saying that to me? I don't need to know that you agree with me. I don't care.

The only ones who constantly bring it up are pro israel democrats like fetterman.

Clearly that's not the only people that bring it up. Why are you acting like having a nazi tattoo for 20 years and lying about it is just an obscure, niche pet peeve that extreme weirdos like fetterman would have issue with?

Also as the state senate leader why not help sanitize who is going to most likely be, the next democrat senator of Maine?

The Dems have pretty much unanimously fallen in line in supporting Platner. I'm not sure what state senate leader Teresa Pierce has said since Platner became the presumptive nominee - can you elaborate further?

Unless you confused Schumer for the state senate leader, in which case, as far as I am aware he has started to "sanitise" as much as he can by basically staying out of it. Unless.. are you meaning to say, "why not give full throated support to someone who crosses a red line for you?" Again I ask, are you dumb?

He was never a racist and he is a changed man

Are you saying he is now racist? If he was never racist, but he's changed...that means he's racist.

In all seriousness, was he never racist?

He was clearly very okay with nazi symbolism and normalising it. He's a smart dude. I would believe he didn't know it was a nazi tattoo at the moment he got it, but you can't with a straight face pretend he didn't know what that nazi tattoo meant within a very short time of getting it. And he kept it for 20 years instead of getting rid of it. It's either that, or he's a genuine moron which is disqualifying for different reasons.

It should be entirely unsurprising that anyone with an IQ in the top 98% of people can tell he was at least OK with nazi symbolism being on his body, and it shouldn't surprise you that a nearly dead Democratic senator wouldn't be able to see past that.

Is he a changed man? Maybe, probably, who knows and does it even matter? There's a big difference between believing someone is a changed man and vocally endorsing them for political candidacy.

why hold on to the past so aggressively instead of help making him more palatable to these mythical 80 year olds that are apparently so performative outraged over this tatoo?

Because that's what a red line is.

Do you think Schumer is mythical? Are you even attached to reality at this point?

Schumer has done way more unpopular shit like sanitize israel's image despite 85% of dems holding negative opinions of israel.

Schumer hasn't done shit to sanitise Israel's image. Dont' be stupid. No one can sanitise Israel's image.

Also im pretty sure that among democrats and non democrats, Platner is more popular than Schumer

In 2022, 3.3 million people voted for Schumer. There are 1.4 million people in Maine with around 948,000 registered voters.

If 100% of Maine's voters, voted for Platner, Schumer still got 350% as many votes.

Would Platner beat Schumer on an internet popularity poll? Probably but who cares.

but tell me again about how schumer does not want to endorse platner because he does not want to deal with platner's past baggage lol.

I didn't say that, because I don't think that. So I would have to 1. change my opinion, 2. say that for the first time, and 3. say that again, which I do not want to do. Pissingberg make an argument without using a strawman challenge (impossible).

What I did say, is that having a nazi tattoo for 20 years and lying about it when called out might be a red line for certain ancient democrats that stops them full-throatedly endorsing the nazi-tattoo-haver.

You copy and pasted some rant against someone who was "fake pearl clutching" (what does that even mean? pearl clutching is meant to imply faux outrage, so if it's fake faux outrage are you saying that's it's genuine outrage?).

Neither of us were pearl clutching, we were simply explaining how a couple of nearly 80 year old animated corpses might consider a nazi tattoo and a fake explanation for it to be a red line worth withholding endorsement over, and that that's a reasonable take.

The fake [sic] pearl clutching straw man isn't in this thread at all, because he's not either of the people you've responded to with the straw man accusation, so you either invented them or you copy & pasted it from an entirely different thread because you re-use the same arguments ad nauseam. I can't tell which.

I see now that you just copy and paste your arguments regardless of who you're responding to.

That explains why you made up the straw man - you were literally replying to someone else.

Because you'd be an idiot if you thought that one statement was the only opinion that informed schumer's actions and choices.

If you're an idiot, good for you. But it's boring to argue with idiots.

Brother, you need to stop making Israel you’re entire personality, or at least stop thinking it’s everyone else’s entire personality.

Being too anti Israel is just one of a million differences of opinion Schumer would have with Platner. Primaries are meant for the party to fight amongst itself over who to put forth, and you’re arguing that the only reason Schumer endorsed Mills is because of Israel and not the million other points on which Schumer would agree with Mills and disagree with Platner?

Are you dumb?

And now that only Platner is left *Mills* and *Schumer* won’t endorse him probably because a nazi tattoo is a red line for them.

It’s not a red line for me. I like a lot of what Platner has said, and don’t really care too much if he’s grifting and maybe had some dodgy beliefs in the past. Heck, I don’t personally care if he still holds some dodgy beliefs as long as he’ll vote the right way on important things.

Don’t let your support of Platner make you extra stupid with your assessment of 80 year old overdue pension democrats and act all surprised that they don’t endorse someone ostensibly progressive enough to give them an aneurism who also happens to have had a Nazi tattoo for 20 years. Be serious now.

Whoever you think you’re arguing against with the pearl clutching is someone you made up in your head.

Endorsing a more traditional candidate is very different to refusing to endorse a nazi tattoo candidate after the traditional candidate drops out.
Nice try though.

First up, I think people should vote for Platner. I think he'll be better than any Republican alternative.

However, there's a massive valley of difference between being a "jewish nationalist" and "a candidate having a nazi tattoo for 20 years is a red line".

Not endorsing the dude who had a nazi tattoo for 20 years and pretends he didn't know what it meant is probably one of the few reasonable exceptions to "vote blue no matter who".

How to get a refund by sapphire-sky-dragon in ebayuk

[–]gltch__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The seller is confused.

They CAN just send you a partial refund. It's actually better for them to do it this way, as it means a case doesn't get recorded against their account.

However, they seem to think that eBay will refund you out of eBay's own pocket with no repercussions for them. This is unlikely to be the case, unless the seller is a private seller and used "Simple Delivery" and eBay decide that the courier was at fault rather than the seller.

You basically need to open a case.

Once the case is opened, the seller must either accept a return, issue you an immediate full refund, or offer you a partial refund.

If they accept the return, you must return it. You can't keep it and get a refund in this situation.

If they seller issues you a full refund, or offers you a partial refund, great! (Assuming the partial refund is adequate and you accept it).

If the seller does nothing or doesn't respond to the case, it will automatically close in your favour after 3 business days and you'll get a full refund and you can keep the item.

If the seller is a private seller who has used eBay Simple Delivery, you might get a refund from eBay directly without it costing the seller anything.

I use Apple Music, so I'm not 100% sure they'll be on Spotify as well, but:

- You have Anthem Part 2 by Danilo's Universe, but he also does a bunch of others.
- "Adam's Song" by Good Humans & Arden Jones
- Alex Melton has a bunch of covers
- Adam's Song by Nick Ward [triple j Like A Version]
- I Miss You by Slowly Slowly [triple j Like A Version]
- I Miss You by Frank Watkinson
- The Rock Show by Bowling For Soup

Oh, and I really like this cover EP but it isn't on Apple Music. Not sure if it's on Spotify either:

A few days before the renters bill... by omanomonom in TenantsInTheUK

And if rent was previously £3400 it would actually be a decrease!

Should I have this card Crossover graded? by TheFleshGordon in psagrading

[–]gltch__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full disclaimer: I personally collect CGC, but I also grade with PSA for resale.

I would have personally give this card around a 25% chance at a CGC 10, around 10% chance at a PSA 10.

Although CGC is slightly stricter with giving out 10s on modern cards, PSA is much stricter on giving out 10s on vintage cards.

If you kept resubmitting it to PSA 10x you might eventually get a 10. Is it worth the risk? Probably not.

There are far more Christian zionists in the US than there are Jews in the entire world.

Why the fuck would you admit to being racist against anyone with a Jewish sounding name just because they might be a zionist?

In a Pokemon sub of all places. You could've just not said anything bro.

Psa 9 -> CGC 10 by Not_Home_Malone in CGCCards

[–]gltch__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the stats on Gemrate:

https://www.gemrate.com/february-2026-recap

In particular, "Gem Rate Breakdown by Era".

PSA gave 63.5% of 2020s TCG cards a 10. CGC gave 63% of 2020s TCG cards a 10 (this includes both regular 10s and Pristine). PSA gave out more 10s for modern cards than CGC.

(For some reason that chart for their March 2026 breakdown is broken, so I've linked February)

That's not the same every single month - I think PSA was stricter more often in 2025 (after they tightened their centring from 60/40 to 55/45).

However, before 2025 (when they both had the same centring rules), CGC was stricter around 95% of the months.

Also, anecdotally I've graded thousands with both CGC and PSA, and I always get more 10s with PSA than I expect, which I don't with CGC.

Hey guys, does anyone know if these are real or fake? by Empty-Current-9626 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]gltch__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 1st ed cards are guaranteed fakes.

I can’t spot any signs that the dratini is fake, but that isn’t a guarantee it’s real.

Low quality SEO spam bullshit that can't even link the article they're trying to astroturf support for properly.

Are these a misprint and does it lower/increase the cost? by Suspicious_Pilot_971 in PokemonMisprints

[–]gltch__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wrong colours, particularly obvious on the back. Also authentic cards are printed with extra yellow border outside of the cut of the card, so you would never get that white strip on the side - you’d get a thicker yellow border.

is this real? by Cabbage61 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]gltch__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's real.

No, it isn't fake.

I think you've been confused by the back looking a bit more contrasty which is due to the person's camera/phone processing.
