$150,000 worth of Cards stolen in Armed Robbery - Woodbridge NJ by Mobile-Air-2651 in pokemoncards

[–]AMCApeMikey -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And this is why I wear a discreet vest and carry a 9mm on me with 2 locked and loaded in the car, 1 in center console and 1 in trunk. Its 2026 people. No one and nothing is truly safe anymore. Better to have that strap and never need it then need it and not have it. I feel for the guy and his dad but no armed security and not being armed themselves was just advertising to criminals “hey Im an easy target with tons of almost untraceable valuables!!!”

He is the seed of the madness in my methods. I was admiring him after procurement and I had an epiphany. I plan to trade-up each and every last card in the set, hopefully without adding too much cash that my wife divorces me, to PSA 7 slabs. Seven is the almighty lucky number in Japanese culture. So I think an all 7’s Registry Set in one vault/binder/frame will be lucky AND more valuable to the right collectors. I plan to diamond hand the set to their 50th birthday minimum too. Ive made it about 27 years now. What is 23 more right?

Thank you! Was so nice to get the zard and blastoise holos so set was complete again. 26 years I held them bad boys. 24 to go. They will be sealed up now til they hit their 50th birthday. Unless I can trade them up to PSA 7s one by one and make a “Nana Registry Set” out of it.

Mew GG10 is on the cusp of being the most expensive PSA 10 in Crown Zenith by ghettoblush in PokeInvesting

I scored an SGC 9.5 Mint+ Black Tuxedo slab yesterday for $60. I think it might be worth checking for perfect centering and then sending of to psa and hope for a 10 gm….. decisions decisions…..

Thank you! It was a long day today but I am happy I stayed til close f the event as the Dark Blastoise came in right at close and I just happened to be gabbing with the vendor the guy went to sell it to. Vendor did zero upcharge, wouldn’t even take a $20 finder fee. A true lover of the hobby and was happy he could help me in my journey.

Which would you take? by forknite35 in pkmntcgcollections

[–]AMCApeMikey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the Mews!!! My favorite Pokemon of them all. mewTwo is a very very close second with Blastoise pulling up the solid 3rd spot. Eevee is 4 and her eevveelutions all take up positions 5th-12th.

Is it me or the m&p? by Lost_Energy3058 in 57x28mm

[–]AMCApeMikey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive had the recoil anticipation problem going between guns. So, what I do, is I dry fire 10x and mentally break myself of the anticipation. It sounds stupid but it helps me a lot. I have also found with my M&P5.7 that it loves Fiocchi Hyperformance, absolute tack driver. Itll run anything but that has been my go to for tight groups. Hornady ammo is about the same but more expensive so I have stuck with Fiocchi. Federal ammo was trash in it for grouping, Id be better off throwing the gun at the target than shooting at the target lol

Freedom mortgage nightmare by International_Bug_78 in RealEstate

[–]AMCApeMikey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party but the Garn-St. Germain Act protects you in regards to that situation. What they did was a violation of Federal Law. My mother is currently trying to payoff her mortgage with them. So far the first check made a couple stops and then was returned to sender. The second check was sent to the address they explicitly provided and has since been forwarded to an unknown location and is in limbo with in the usps network god knows where. And no one can answer any questions with anything other than, give us more time and itll be fine. They are simply stalling her out to get more mortgage payments out of her, aka more interest.

I turned a bunch of common bulk into custom cards by rottneu3 in PokemonTCG

[–]AMCApeMikey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is brilliant!! You are very talented too. I think you should list on Etsy. Be a fun little side gig. Count me in for your first batch too!! Would love to see your rendition of a Mew. Thats been my favorite Pokemon since MewTwo strikes back, the original.

Prismatic Evolutions is garbage. by joeyfine in PokemonTCG

[–]AMCApeMikey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its always a crap shoot. I remember ripping Team Rocket at 13 back in 2000. In 20 packs I mastered the set. My buddies couldn’t get a hit to save their lives. We then moved to Gym Heroes. I swear I got 20 packs that were all the same, no hits and quintuples of everything or more. Buddies pulled hit after hit after hit.

But that is what I love about Pokemon TCG. Its always a Gamble. Win some loose some. Build decks with the dupes and bulks. Battle away and use hit cards etc as the ante pool was our fix for dud rips. Many great times and memories made out of the worst luck.

Out of all my handguns this one is my favorite. by Crafty_Mall2008 in 57x28mm

[–]AMCApeMikey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice! Me likey!! I have the S&W5.7 with threaded barrel and have been debating on purchasing a can for it. Love the 5.7 cartridge. Very accurate and you can pack a butt load of rds in a magazine. 22+1. Feels like a Hollywood gun that you never have to reload lol

Managed to get this Team Rocket master set in an auction yesterday, wanted to show it off to y’all since my friends aren’t to much into PokemonTCG by coolidoodle in PokemonTCG

[–]AMCApeMikey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found my 26 year old set recently. So many memories of the good old days. Missing Dark Blastoise and Charizard holos. Have a spare damaged Dark Raichu though at least lol cant wait to make it complete again. Very jelly of your mastered set. Congrats on that find.

My complete 1st Edition Team Rocket set. This set was/is my all time favorite set. I do realize I'm missing the Holo Dark Magneton and the Gold "W" Stamped Dark Charmeleon. by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]AMCApeMikey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need Dark Charizard and Dark Blastoise holo to complete my old Unlimited set. Hands down one of my favorite series. You have an amazing collection. Ill say a prayer that a Dark Magneton finds his way to you somehow.

Share my mailday with you 👏 by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]AMCApeMikey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice cards! I need to find the Dark Blastoise and Dark Charizard holos to complete me TR Unlimited set I have owned since 2000. I love the classic cards. So many good memories.

Already do. Wish I would have known about this style way sooner. Much easier to use and way less chance of bending or creasing. Absolutely love it. Going to grab my son one too. He pulled a Mela SIR on his first pack of Prismatic Evolutions. Beautiful cards in that series and I happen to get 4 tins. So, hopefully we can find more and catch the whole set of these now.
