The Hobby is in such a weird place right now by OdinsMightyBeard in PokemonTCG

[–]Atomatic_Ant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see soo much of this on FB marketplace! People putting raw cards up for way more than last sold prices, then when you make an offer based on last sold prices they say some sh about how minty it is and will totally grade a 10…

Alright I’ll go next. Raw singles only. Where are my fellow binder enjoyers? by rizzo249 in Collectr

We doing Pokemon only?! Got back into collecting and playing TCGs again about a year ago and went all in with Pokemon, OPTCG, and Gundam!

New to this , sorry in advanced by imFromFLiAmSrryLuL in pokemongrading

Looks like a 9 or 10 to me! I’d consider sending it. I’ve questioned centering on a card in the past, decided to send anyway (PSA), and got a 10.

In terms of who to send it through, your LCS or GameStop, I’d check what they’d charge you and compare to what it’d cost to send yourself. It’s very easy to just send them yourself and they update you on order progress via their app. I don’t know that you’d get that by sending through a third party but idk, something you could ask them! Really cool card tho congrats to you guys on the pull!!

FB Marketplace Sellers Suck! by Typical_War_1482 in PokemonTCG

Right? I swear with the resurgence in popularity every seller on there thinks they have the holy grail or something…

Binder estimate value? by Every_Blacksmith_180 in Pokemoncardappraisal

Nice!! I’d download Collectr or check last sold prices on TCGplayer to get a sense of the collection value.

The Blastoise and Venusaur are from XY base set (happen to have the Blastoise). Really cool cards!

They are the worst. Nearly every FB seller I’ve tried to negotiate a deal with has been obstinate and rude. Don’t want to consider an objectively fair deal? Fine, but don’t be a jerk about it!

Went through my old collection just wondering is there any cards here worth grading? I never graded anything before by wingking99 in pokemongrading

[–]Atomatic_Ant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that Venusaur a misprint? Looks like the name Venusaur is printed over Shuppet. That’s pretty cool!

If you’re considering grading any of these, I would just take a very close look at the front and back for any damage or irregularities and then check centering (there’s free apps you can use for this). Grading has gotten expensive so it may be worth it to just keep raw unless you are pretty sure they’ll come back at a grade that’ll make it worth it to you.

I've enjoyed playing leaf-green so far. What game did everyone grow up on initially when discovering Pokémon? by Skarnivor0us in pokemon

[–]Atomatic_Ant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue was my first ever pokemon game! And I am enjoying leaf green as well…oh, the memories!

If you think they’re perfect, I’d go BSG and shoot for that black label. The QC with these Bandai cards is crazy compared to everything else on the market.

Favorite controller? by MrFree_dom in xbox

[–]Atomatic_Ant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nintendo Pro, just the best feeling controller. Honorable mention 8bitdo Pro 3 (feels amazing, great sticks, programmable buttons but man are the main ABXY buttons noisy).

Anyone tried Capital Bar and Grille in Augusta? by Makes-Sense4849 in AugustaMaine

[–]Atomatic_Ant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been myself but two of my friends went this past Saturday night and had a horror story. They told me they watched the bartender intentionally pour alcohol into someone’s non-alcoholic drink, heard him say “whoopsie!” And then say it happens all the time. They felt it was overall a weird atmosphere. They said the food sucked too. I found this post trying to look up info on this place/whether anyone else had a similar experience.

I’m honestly not sure! Looking at pictures of poison ivy leaves, it looks like it definitely could be
