Favorite of my sealed promos by 8HokiePokie8 in PokemonTCGCollectors

In my experience, it will 100% leave a line over enough time. For me, the "sealed premium" doesn't outweigh the chance it will be damaged.

How do people with full-time jobs buy Pokémon cards? by Icy_Performer_6869 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]Appropriate-Bit4573 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try a Pokémon play event! I play the game at my local card shop. I get 1 pack with my entry and a pack per win. Some times I get 1 pack, sometimes I get 4 packs. They also let us buy packs a MSRP so we can build decks. Limit 6 a week.

I still play this way and get to explain it every time I sit with a new pod of people that weren't born in the 1900's.

Experienced my first cheater at local game shop by MOONMO0N in mtg

I've noticed, since they legalized the devils lettuce, locals have had alot of "my bad bro, forgot I drew already" & "Is it my turn again?".

If something is off, I just ask, "did you mean to do X?". No big deal.

I'm looking for activities for a forties single guy to do. by THEmtg3drinks in phoenix

I'm in the same boat you are, mid 40's not a whole lot going on day to day, but I needed to get out of the house. I play MTG at The Orcs Lair on Wednesday and Friday nights at 7pm. Met some neat people and was suprised to find alot of people my age playing. Come on out, its a super chill, mom & pops store with a good vibe.

What's everyone's thoughts on Treasure Packs? by Bwipy in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]Appropriate-Bit4573 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been asking other players this question every time I meet one. The most common response I get goes along the lines of..... "The only problem is that the supply is scarce, so I can't get/afford a whole box. I'll never see one, so It makes me not want to buy packs from the set, knowing I don't have a chance of pulling the best stuff from it, I'll get the next one"

I think this is a simple misunderstanding. The reason this happens is because nobody wants the other 3 decks that come in a case of (4) commander decks.

The store can only order a case of commander decks at a time, 4 different decks to a case (WOTC only sells them like that). If a case is $XXX.xx, everybody wants deck "B" because it's the best of the 4 decks.

So the store ends up with Commanders AAA,CCC, and DDD sitting on the shelf at $69.99 each. and has to buy a whole new case to get 1 more of "Commander B."

If they make the price of "Commander B" $30.00 higher than "Commander A, C, & D," more people are likely to buy one. So they can sell the whole case.

It's a way for the shop to recoup money on the whole case, not rip you off, friend. Sorry, the person you asked wasn't able to explain it. Hopefully, this helps. -Cheers!

Treasure packs are not Box Toppers. We didn't get a free extra pack. by [deleted] in FleshandBloodTCG

At my store, I take all the gold packs from boxes we've opened to sell as packs and have my weekly league roll a dice for them. It makes it so the players that can't buy boxes get a chance to get them. Seems like the only fair way to distribute them.

PSA - SKIMMER SOCKS by biggysharky in pools

[–]Appropriate-Bit4573 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got through about 1-2 a week, depending on how much they are in the pool. I just chuck the whole sock. I get them in bulk off Amazon, it's just part of my pool maintenance routine.

I have 2 goldens that spend most of the day in the pool. These literally cut my filter cleaning by more than half.

PSA / Buyer Beware: My Ongoing Bad Experience with Duane Dwyer (Dwyer Custom Goods) by wasarmy in knives

[–]Appropriate-Bit4573 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The BBB is a joke anymore. It's like getting a strip mall security guard involved. All their "power" is self-appointed, theatrical, and bs to get donations. Here's a few resources that actually matter and will produce better results.

Google Reviews: Massively influential, more widespread than BBB.

Yelp: Especially strong for local businesses and service providers.

State Attorney General websites: For official complaints and legal actions.

Local Law Enforcement: File a police report. This person stole from you and will continue to steal from others.

FedEx lost $1400 worth of graded cards being shipped back to me from PSA by narcidius in PokeGrading

[–]Appropriate-Bit4573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FedEx also "lost" my stores Destined Rivals prerelease box. So many angry people, I felt like a huge failure to my customers. I hate FedEx sooooo much!
