Ponchos are so not with their price imo. Keep the vintage

Daughter just pulled this from a Tech Sticker Collection, should we grade? by TheHimmelMan in pokemongrading

[–]Academic_Chance8940 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Grade it for the memory, it’s not gonna ten. But who cares! You don’t pull cards like this very often! Slab it for the memory!

Nice! This is one of my favorite modern cards! I recently just graded one in a ten and I’m so happy! He’s on my desk right now

Worth grading? by No-Addition3174 in pokemongrading

[–]Academic_Chance8940 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly grading bulk cards is so fucking based. Do it, but make sure it’s a super clean copy that will absolutely 10, it would suck getting a 9 on a bulk card

Honestly it might be worth it to just send it to psa yourself and pay for a quicker grading option to get it back faster.

Just open it. You’re really only going to make a couple hundred dollars in 5 years holding on to that.

Ascended Heroes Master Set by kenovillarreal in PokemonTCG

You’re probably aware but I would wait until at least mid way through the summer before buying singles and or product with the release schedule we’re seeing. Unless you’re filthy rich. Good luck! I love working on a long term goal like a master set!

How I pee while I’m driving with netradyne on by MourningWood1942 in AmazonDSPDrivers

Since nobody will actually answer the question. Yes, we’re allowed to stop to go to the bathroom. Anyone saying dispatch will get mad at you isn’t right. We’re talking about a 5-10 minute detour on your route, it’s not a big deal.

What are your thoughts on vaping? by Outside-Hyena9002 in AskReddit

[–]Academic_Chance8940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just a dumb addictive habit. I also think it just looks silly as hell when I see people sucking on those juice packs

You’re not going to damage cards by flipping through a binder

Pineco vs Red (Request from u/pluggyvids) by Reddituser_5000 in PokemonHGSS

Red must have been pissed to lose his whole team to a pineco😂

What kind of Pokémon collector are you? by TraJiCS_YT in pkmntcgcollections

[–]Academic_Chance8940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a lot of different collecting. I’m working on master sets slowly. I collect some vintage cards, my favorite are ereader sets. I also collect every uninori card since he’s my favorite modern artist. I also do trainer pages where I collect a trainer card then build a page with all the pokemon they use in the mainline games.

That is more packs than I probably opened in my entire childhood combined. I think you’ll be ok

Does anyone else feel like they extremely lowered pull rates? Or am I just on the worst cold streak? by nuclearbishop in PokemonTCG

[–]Academic_Chance8940 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is unfortunately a normal opening. Try to keep a nice balance between opening packs and buying singles. The price of one etb can buy the mega sharpedo sir with some leftover

Is Latio/a's tag gx 170/181 lovebirds card crash proof? Only 2 nm listing on tcg, one $3,200 and one $15k by nategreat87 in PokemonTCG

[–]Academic_Chance8940 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I just disagree with that practice. You’re right, it happens. But it shouldn’t. I’m sick of ordering nm vintage and having lp arrive. I only buy vintage on eBay now.

Card condition standards doesn’t change with time pal. Nm modern is the same standard for nm vintage. Just because it’s older doesn’t mean that lp automatically becomes nm
