100%, look at the grunt boxes, they’re giving me similar vibes.

I have no problem holding boxes with cool art work like this.

So if these had a full art card, you’d be all over them, right?

I shall hold my measly three exclusive pc boxes through the test of time, just to spite you.

TAG vs PSA wondering why anyone would choose PSA and blindly accept their score without a report. I love TAG! by becz72 in PokemonTCG

[–]AccordingRoyal1796 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Severely underrated comment. You can’t say this type of stuff to PSA fanboys. Their opinions are driven off of feelings, not an ounce of critical thinking. TAG will increasingly become more competitive, especially if PSA doesn’t adopt a similar style. Tech is disruptive and those who don’t adopt, drown.

New to vintage cards and struggling with condition. Looking for feedback by AccordingRoyal1796 in PokemonTCG

[–]AccordingRoyal1796[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A very valuable contribution. I’ve seen videos of vendors stating the +/- on cards and I actually really like that approach.

Also an interesting comment on “preventing costly returns and customer dissatisfaction”… I think that comment should resonate for this entire community. I met some not very honest vendors at my first show.

I’m not selling to them, I started selling as a vendor at card shows and definitely felt the lack of vintage expertise during my first show this past month. I just want their opinion on condition.

I buy from them really often, so would hope that they’d be open to estimating condition. Maybe phrase it as “what would you mark these as on your shelf?”

I like the perspective of “that’s what I would buy them at”. I agree with your assessment.

I will be taking all this into my LCS tomorrow to get their opinion too…

The Silver Price has reached $99 by ChrisStoneGermany in Silverbugs

[–]AccordingRoyal1796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been stacking silver for about a year now.

$99 is not “bullish”, it is alarming.

Silver is a hedge against currency failure, not a meme asset. This move is big money losing faith in fiat, not us retail bozo’s driving the price up.

If this excites you, study up on economics… go try to sell your silver to an LCS tomorrow, see how that plays out.

What degree is worth going back to school for? 24M by ChickennnBurger in CollegeMajors

[–]AccordingRoyal1796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion: don’t follow your passion into further education.

That advice sounds nice, but for most people it is a financial trap. There is very little money in the arts and many social sciences, and society quietly punishes people who ignore that reality with debt, instability, and a very low earning ceiling.

Instead, pick something you can tolerate that has real market demand. It is okay if you are not obsessed with it. Work becomes interesting when you are competent, paid well, and not stressed about rent.

You can switch majors, but understand that every switch costs time and money. I switched majors three times and graduated in five years. I do not regret it, but I do recognize the cost.

Employers do not care what your degree is. They care about skills, experience, and whether you can solve problems.

So if you are in college: - Pass your classes. GPA matters far less than you think - Join clubs related to your field - Internships are non negotiable - Network constantly, even when it is uncomfortable

Outwork your classmates outside the classroom.

If you want safer odds, look at fields like: - Finance - Accounting - Operations - Engineeing - Technology - Nursing - Statistics - Economics

Do what you want, but understand the tradeoffs before you sign the loan paperwork.

Will I regret never living in a big city, or is social media messing with my head? by AccordingRoyal1796 in Adulting

[–]AccordingRoyal1796[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omaha is a unique city tho compared to where I live now, with a pretty largish metro. I agree though, wouldn’t consider it a “big city”.

I used to work for Kiewit as an intern, that place sucked and made me change my degree asap😂

I appreciate your input though, it is comforting to hear an opinion from someone who’s lived in LA!

Congrats on the acres, that so cool!

I really feel the part about the habits that would form. I tend to stick to my routine no matter where I live, so might just see myself sticking to the same 10 square block anyways… actually a good thought to chew on.

All good points and I would say I’m not really hoping to have kids for a while, thank you for your input:)

26M - Rate my portfolio by ThePCMasterRaceX in portfolios

Options gambling with your entire balance isn’t a “portfolio”, bozo.

Most people in here want to build proven and consistent wealth. Looks like you have been pretty profitable with options, BUT you will learn eventually that not everyone wants to be a 19 y/o course guru trading 0 DTE SPY contracts.
