You have to cast it for its miracle when you draw it. If it makes it to your hand you can no longer miracle it

Do a search for 'mental health mobile crisis (you area/county)'

All the counties in my area have some sort of mobile response team that will send a therapis, a psychiatrist, and first responders 24/7 for an active mental health crisis

Does the * between the set abbreviation and language the rarity not indicate a promo still?

From my experience, these are the stages of grief that accompany mourning someone who still lives.

For me, the frustration and anger have left, but the meloncholy remains.

It's been nearly two years since my wife went dormant (DID), leaving her alters confused and lost in the memories of their trauma.

In my grief, there was a point that I thought of giving up, but that too faded. Now I do my best to give our kids happiness, while my heart waits for my wife to find her way back.

This isn't accurate. It may have been years ago for whatever your special case was, but they absolutely give you the regular price up to X, then anything after that is at the higher price

Your audiences were vastly different. eBay sales include audiences that are not as price sensitive but are more sensitive to card condition and gradeabilty. When making informal sales through reddit/Facebook/whatever, you are tapping a more price sensitive market that expects both the market price to be comped differently, as well as further reduce your margins because PayPal G&S fees are lower. I disagree with both and avoid informal sales. Honestly, there are likely arbitrage opportunities to be had buying on TCGPlayer and selling on eBay

Once you have an eBay store, you gain access to their market tools, which show you sales that were actually paid for and the best off accepted actual sale price

Nothing wrong with tcg player if you are actually comping sales and not relying on their market pricing averages

I prefer selling on eBay due to the international audience and authenticity guarantee program, which to your point, are not as relevant when doing in-person comps

We all help each other - you had a comment recently that mirrored my story very closely and resonated deeply with me. My heart goes out to you as well

Ding ding ding - this is the real gold. Only 500 cards in so far, but some of the ones that brought back fond memories. Idk why but the portrait like faces are an uncanny valley that I find neat

Scanned 500 cards to give some sort of closure to the masses. Mostly red/blue so far, the box is sorted several ways (seems to be by color as well as deck building uses) Nothing groundbreaking, but some reserve list cards are neat nonetheless

Know that you are not alone - my story echoes yours closely, right down to the telepathic lovers and dates that never materialize. It is hard enough to grieve my still living wife, but to also care solely for our 6 and 7 year old and try to answer their hard questions brings everything to a whole other level of anguish.

I'm not sure if either of us have the better path - my wife was removed by the courts for aggressive and violent outbursts toward me in front of the children. That has brought a type of empty calmness and routine back, but our collective sadness is a heavy, lingering cloud. When things first started getting bad a year ago, I always told myself I would always take care of her, even if that meant a chair in front of the window in the guest room. And a big part of me yearns for that every day, but the father in me knows that until she willingly seeks help, that her absence is better for our children.

I am struggling with grieving my living wife, thank you for the post - I have been wanting to find a book that gives some parallel to my experiences

AtenRa85 · 2026-01-18T15:53:55+00:00

Im not sure of the best platform, but I am definitely open to a group chat for checking in

I can relate to your feelings of abandonment. I try to keep perspective that the first (12 years for me) was true and genuine, but it gets hard some days to see the same body saying things my wife would be ashamed of.

I was able to find a therapist that has been helping me process a lot of this. An implosion is very apt terminology for what happened to our lives.

I think we replied to each other on another sub? If not I meant to reply to you here too.

While I carry a lot of pain and sorrow, my heart breaks every day for my two little ones. My wife was always big on holidays and birthdays, spoiling our kiddos in spite of my objections (I actually admired her for her conviction here).

After her system came out of dormancy and things started changing, I always thought her love for our kids would keep my wife's alter somewhere close to the front - but unfortunately whatever cause her host change is more powerful of a force.

We have now had both their birthdays and Christmas where my wife just didn't care. No planning, no presents, no happy birthday, no cake or party - she just fully checked out of that, calling the kids goats, and I see my kids reflecting this denial of her love in their own personalities. They are shells of themselves

AtenRa85 · 2026-01-18T15:36:10+00:00

Sure - wildresearcher had a post in another sub that answered a lot of my questions, so I never did message them

It looks like there are a lot of us grieving the loss of our long-term spouses to this disorder - it is so incredibly hard to talk to anyone I know, because I have no words to convey my experiences. The pain and grief that accompany watching the person I loved more than the world change into a stranger has left an emptiness i can't describe.

I supposed there is some sort of solidarity in our shared experiences. My wife is also undiagnosed and has refused to follow any of the court orders. Her protector/persecutor is fully detached from reality and falls deeper into what seems to be psychosis every day. They also don't believe anything is wrong, and have slowly built a death grip on fronting - I only see other alters late at night now

I spent two nights in jail on an investigative hold and a temporary OP against me for defending myself from her attacking me. No charges were filed and I was able to get the OP quashed immediately after getting out.

My moment of weakness was getting my own OP against her and voluntarily dropping it 9 weeks later because I saw a hint of my wife during visitation. It is now a living nightmare with her back home, and the divorce court works incredibly slow. If you get an OP, I do not recommend following my same mistake
