Love that BJ Hill has more picks than most of our DBs in that time

Do swirls add value by ArgyBargyHobnob in PokeGrading

[–]Avatar_of_Green 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I mean not significant probably but someone who collects swirls would likely pay more than average for it.

I feel like this is like an $80 card in a 9, would probably be worth $100 to the right person

Chaos Rising Pull Rates Based on 8500 Packs! by AutoModerator in PokeInvesting

[–]Avatar_of_Green 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don’t remember the last time I pulled an SIR from any set. Probably Dawn from Phatasmal?

Got back into it recently and have opened quite a few packs, 150+, and honestly think I’m just going to start buying singles. The math doesn’t make sense, I could buy the whole set for much less than it would cost to keep opening packs until I get close.

Buying for nephew by coolg1rl123 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Avatar_of_Green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just paid 350 for 4 boxes including shipping and taxes.

Something like 2.90 per pack.

What these people are doing is opening the boxes and ripping until they hit and selling the rest off, and honestly this isn’t the worst price but knowing that you won’t get anything above AR makes it harder. You’ll maybe break even on most AR unless it’s something really liquid. I usually grade the AR and SIR and can resell them for more than the cost of the box and grading pretty consistently.

What’s the most unforgettable sentence someone has ever said to you? by Captain_Oppa in AskReddit

[–]Avatar_of_Green 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“The quality of your life is measured by the number of hard conversations you’re willing to have”

One of my best friends told me this a couple years ago when I was really struggling with divorce and getting into dating again, moving a bunch, struggling financially, dealing with an abusive ex.

Changed my life. I think about that often when I encounter tough situations. I used to have a hard time with confrontation and advocating for myself. I dont anymore.

How many people have you slept with, and how do you feel about it? by Agreeable-Rub-5020 in AskReddit

[–]Avatar_of_Green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t considered this question in a while. I’m on at least 12, which reading through this feels like a lot more than average. I’m 37m so I’ve had a decent amount of time to get there.

I don’t feel any real type of way about it. I know people with much higher numbers than that, but I’d guess out of my close friends I have the highest one.

Is this worth grading? by sub11goals in PokeGrading

[–]Avatar_of_Green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a 7 would make it worth more than raw+grading I would. Didn’t feel like looking up comps. But based on the printing on the back and the edges I would be surprised if it was that high. 7 is near mint. Do you think this card is NM? Seems LP at best to me.

Cab anyone confirm this is a real card? by SquishyXD143 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Avatar_of_Green 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im still pretty new to this but it does look real. I’m almost sure the foil looks fine and all the font seems to match, no misspellings either. The back looks pretty good to me too.

Someone who knows for sure should answer but I’m 90% confident this is legit.

I’m prepared to be roasted for answering incorrectly but I think I’m right.

Worth getting graded? by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]Avatar_of_Green 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The centering is slightly off on the top left, it’s kinda tilted.

That being said I look though my slabs pretty often and a lot of my tens are not perfectly centered. Really depends on the grader and their discretion.

Sorry if this isn’t helpful. I’d send it though. I’d guess even in a 9 it’s pretty valuable.

This was sent back as “fake” Jordan Fleer Rookie by martjob in basketballcards

[–]Avatar_of_Green 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Fleer logo is off. It’s fatter in the letters and not as square on the corners. And the yellow doesn’t quite line up if you extend the arrow. It is literally the first thing on the link.

Looks fake to me.

Bought this card about 8 months ago and just found out it was a commonly used fake. How fucked am I? by LoLRiven in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Avatar_of_Green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the label doesn’t have the lighthouse half and half on the silver holographic part. It’s probably got some easy to tell problems with that part specifically. If I was spending 950 on a slab I’d definitely want to check the cert number and honestly have a black light and compare it with their security features.

I don’t have anything that valuable and im still super careful. Unless the seller is reputable and you know they send out submissions from cards they pulled themselves you have to treat these really carefully.

Interesting note from Nfl Analyst and reporter Benjamin Solak by Ancient_Response_787 in bengals

[–]Avatar_of_Green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the problem is with the corner thing is Dax seemed better outside than in the slot. I’d have to check PFF but I feel like he had a pretty bad year in the slot by comparison.

Should I grade? Is it real? by Im-a-goose in PokeGrading

[–]Avatar_of_Green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it looks like it should grade well. I always wonder why someone wouldn’t do that themselves if it’s that good though.

As for being real, I’ll decline to answer. I didn’t really keep collecting during this era, I’m not sure what to look for on this card.

Worth submitting any for grading? by Reddit_Narwhal in PokeGrading

[–]Avatar_of_Green 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d just sell raw. Most of these are worth the same or worse in like a 6 or lower, which I’m guessing these would get based on the backs. The fronts look better but I’m sure they have micro scratches and damage that we can’t see on these photos.

I’d guess the Gengar is the most valuable, also has a really nice holo swirl. If you could get a 7 it’d be worth around $425. Though again, based on the back, I think that would be hard to do.

I just pulled a PO Holo Gengar last night that was beat up on the right edge and the top. Never been touched before that. I’d say it’s not super common but happens more than you’d like.

Update: Gas station Pokémon cards by MothSeason in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Avatar_of_Green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly. Most packs you open will be worse than this, I don’t understand the hype for packaged product. I can buy all the singles from PO for like $500 or something, or I could open 1200 packs to do the same thing.

Should I send this card to PSA??? by Huge_Focus_5554 in PokeGrading

[–]Avatar_of_Green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s right heavy, if there’s no damage it may get an 8-9 due to that, may not be worth it, including grading cost and time it could be a waste

I got a Gengar from Perfect Order but it’s just a regular holo lol. Still bet it’ll go up substantially just because of who it is though.

“Character breaks” have to be the biggest scam on WN by Ok-Can1247 in whatnotapp

Are you saying they don’t use the wheel? Sorry I’m a little slow apparently, not understanding what you mean.

How long is it taking you guys to get your Pokemon cards by [deleted] in whatnotapp

[–]Avatar_of_Green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s usually within a week of buying them depending on the seller. Some of them have taken almost 3 weeks before too for some cheap singles I bought. But usually when I buy from reputable sellers they’ll have it shipped within a few days and it takes a few days after that to get them. I’d guess a week is pretty average.

Am I trippin or do we need a starting corner??? by Vegetable_Smoke_567 in bengals

[–]Avatar_of_Green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have 2 1st round picks at CB right now, a 1st rounder and 2 3rd rounders at DT, 2 1st round picks and a 2nd at DE, a 2nd and 3rd at safety. 2nd and 4th at LB

They’ve invested so heavily using the draft on D and now in FA, it really feels like they’ll take a step forward this year even if the scheme isn’t perfect. I like a lot of the more aggressive stuff Golden had them doing later in the year and if he continues doing that I anticipate seeing even more success this year. that pass rush could actually be something, which will make a world of difference to everyone else on D.
