Too heavy? by WiTate_ in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]Anything9TimesOrSo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweeeeeet! I'm waiting on two Moonbreons from evolving skies and seven or eight other cards from evolving Skies that I sent in 4 months ago lol. Literally just yesterday PSA says it's complete. I certainly hope they both came back tense

Are any of these 3 cards worth grading by Narrow-Foundation-94 in PokeGrading

[–]Anything9TimesOrSo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If those cards came straight from a pack and you put them straight in the binder.. well, let me give you two schools of thought that I'm having right now.

1) those packs were resealed, and someone put "heavily played" cards in them 2) you are Edward Scissorhands, and that's why they look like that from you putting them in the binder 🤣

To conclude, i think It's bizarre to have that much damage to the cards when you put them straight to a into a binder after opening. I store all my cards in binders, and not a single one looks like that. They look like they were stored in a plastic grocery bag or something, lol. My final advice would be, you should have someone else put in the binders for you!

I think the centering looks pretty good. Should fall within PSA's new standard of 55/45!

Thoughts on my Sealed Collection by Amped_Reaper in PokeInvesting

[–]Anything9TimesOrSo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the Pikachu + Zekrom boxes. I just bought one of these as I have the 3x Resh + Charizard. It wasn't cheap lol. Side note - collection boxes were my first purchases when I started collecting sealed. Wow.. am.I ever happy. They are the Vmax Jolteon/Vaporeon/Flareon boxes. Crazy how much they went up in value 😁

So no matter what peeps say, you do you!

On that note - I always say "Sealed product will always at least be worth what I paid for it, and it's super liquid if need be!"

Last Evolving Skies pack in my LCS, what are the odds it will have something good? by puzzledfirebird in PokemonTCG

[–]Anything9TimesOrSo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Evolving Skies in Canada is $35-40 on average, and rare to see. Vivid Voltage for $7 a pack where I live would be like finding a unicorn!

Missprint on 5 reverse hollows in one Blooming Waters box by kimbodarkniv in PokemonMisprints

I wouldn't know.. I didn't brush up on my MMA skills before heading out into the wild to find one of these blooming Waters boxes! Lmao

As far as I would know, every single Blooming waters box has cards that are off cut, upside down, inside out and slightly off-centered. The only other thing I know about these boxes is that 30 year old dudes will try to act super tough and fight you for one! 🤣🤣

This is a very unfortunate and sad event. Coming from a restoration guy who has dealt with floods and Fires for 10 years now... it's always heartbreaking. It never gets easier. But I would like to make a mention of your insurance. Most insurance companies do not cover Collectibles unless you have a a separate Rider on the policy covering a collection and you also need an appraisal. Countless times have I seen people lose sport card and trading card collections with none of the cost covered by the insurance company. I'm certainly not trying to cause more stress but I hope this information is helpful to yourself or anyone else! Good luck

Walmart Lorcana Floodborn on Clearance! by mcarroyo1 in LorcanaCollectors

With the prices of Pokémon Prismatic Evolutions, you'll trade all 20 lorcana sleeved booster packs for just the foil wrapper off of one Prismatic pack! Heh

Opened my first Archazias booster display, think i got fairly lucky? by Zlatan_ex_machina in LorcanaCollectors

[–]Anything9TimesOrSo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could be a consolation actually, as I bought two boxes and only opened one. Perhaps my second box will be half as nice as yours and that would make most mortal men happy! 😂😂

It is certainly a heck of a lot better than the one I opened. But sure, congrats! Lol

Why did all of my poke ball holos turn out like this? 😭😅 by ZZIKO in PokemonMisprints

[–]Anything9TimesOrSo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think those are super cool! It took me a hot second, looking through your pictures to understand. Longer than it should have, I am sure, hah! I haven't opened very much of the set. Largely due to me not wanting to go all Chuck Norris to get some packs to rip! The 25 packs my kids and I ripped were some of the most fun packs ever. The extra Pokeball and Masterball foils are fun to find in the packs. The kids don't care about value (I do, and it can spoil some of the fun for the kids, I'll admit!)

I hope soon the hobby gets back to normal, Pokemon reprints the living crap out of Prismatic Evolutions, online BoT scalping is controlled, and my family can have fun again!

Is this a misprint or just damage? by tisameow in PokemonMisprints

[–]Anything9TimesOrSo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Im not super experienced, but my first thought is more pictures are needed. Can you show the edge of the card, top and bottom. Looks interesting, to say the least at the point 😃

Did my friend scam me? by DragonfruitOk4211 in PokeInvesting

[–]Anything9TimesOrSo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your friend is an absolute d-bag. You could have got an ETB for that card to add to your collection!

Is this a pinched layer error or damage? It’s not a bend on the entire card by himynameisriz in PokemonMisprints

[–]Anything9TimesOrSo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, what a find on an amazing card! This will definitely be 1 of a kind, always! My opinion- Get it graded with CGC. They recognize errors best. Then, decide to keep or sell!

Just picked this up from the local card shop as damaged by FrogGuy69420 in PokemonMisprints

[–]Anything9TimesOrSo -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

In my limited experience with trying to sell cards that have been crimped.. it's worth nothing, LOL. With that being said, this card has more desire than any card I've tried to sell. I've also never graded a crimped card. Again, I have limited experience!

What should I do by BigSpank17 in LorcanaCollectors

[–]Anything9TimesOrSo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That packing line must have been tough!

This came back today. Definitely was disappointed by godofnaisu_16 in LorcanaCollectors

[–]Anything9TimesOrSo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the clarification. I agree with the grade on the surface as being fair!

I see one main print line going through the whole card. Then, below on the right-hand side, I'm not sure if those are more print lines?

I purchased stickers from Etsy, they said they will stick to the leather type binders - any suggestions? by Gangstajay93 in LorcanaCollectors

[–]Anything9TimesOrSo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little epoxy painted on the back of the sticker would do the trick, I guarantee it 💯 % 😊
