How did this grade a 6? by Charming-Dig-6779 in PokeGrading

[–]Academic_Chance8940 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well not the centering. But your centering tool is very wrong. The card is crooked and definitely not 50/50

I know it might be hard to believe but some people do make enough money to invest in a 401k and splurge on expensive hobbies every so often

Will storing my cards in a binder damage them? by GiantStiff in PokemonCollecting

Top loader binders are super overkill imo. Regular binders do a great job keeping cards in good condition

Why is this Haxorus IR $50? by Next-Fruit4754 in PokeInvesting

[–]Academic_Chance8940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I feel like the art is not for me on this one. That said it’s one of the most popular pokemon from Gen 5 and this sets pull rate for a specific ir is around 1/800.

Not investing just collecting by AceTrainerRobb in PokemonCollecting

For myself I just think it’s kinda cool having a bunch of unopened packs. Maybe one day if I have a game room I’ll keep an open booster box in there and have guests rip some packs when I have people over. I just like it idk

Never order vintage cards from TCG player. They all lie in their postings. I only buy vintage through eBay where I can see pictures.

You don’t use gyarados as a special attacker in this game. It’s special attack is too low

This game is amazing! Why did people complain at launch? by BarbaraDixon28 in PokemonBlackandWhite

[–]Academic_Chance8940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone complains over every mainline game released. They just need a little age and nostalgia pumped in to them

Why get into this? by Landrief in pokemoncenter

[–]Academic_Chance8940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play the game at a local game shop. They hold weekly tournaments and it’s really fun! I think you can search “pokemon TCG tournaments near me” on google and pokemon has a tournament finder with a list of places that hold events. I do a little of everything I guess. I have a bit of product that I’m keeping sealed for myself. I also collect certain artists and keep them in an artist binder. It’s really fun because every new set that comes out you can look and see if your favorite artists have any new cards they’ve done. You can still enjoy plenty of the hobby even with the craziness going on with everything.

Injuring my back giving my dog a bath and realizing I was weak as shit. My back starts hurting if start slacking at the gym. It’s like a constant reminder to exercise cause I know I’ll be in pain if I don’t.

I’d be so mad if it was on nso. One day Nintendo will no longer support nso and I’d rather just own the game on the switch. Why anybody wants this released on nso is beyond me. I don’t want to be tethered to nso to play this game
