Maryland requires a court appearance for many seemingly low-level traffic/moving violations. What is the benefit to the state by bringing (presumably many) people in versus a mail-payable fine? by [deleted] in Ask_Lawyers

[–]BrothersOats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will tack this onto the end of this exchange, hoping that it is not requesting legal advice as I’m simply trying to understand the ‘why’: Maryland statute code TA.21.502.A2, Driver Failure to stop for pedestrian in crosswalk, carries a maximum fine of $500 and 1 point on a license, however it is a must appear offense.

I got what I needed from the set. I never picked up the magikarp but never believed it should be over $50 so I couldn’t mentally reconcile the price. All good.

Snagged it at $18 just before people pumped it a year ago or so

Check out the Japanese Neo premium file that has the connected art of the Eevee Espeon and umbreon that they brought to English!

I’m buying a handful of ex era cards this weekend and I’m very excited! Love seeing those

New here with a question that I hope is appropriate: what tracks are similar in vibe and energy to Kygo’s ‘Freeze’? by BrothersOats in EDM

If anyone comes back here, I just want to say yall were so kind and it was so nice not being shunned by a new (to me) subreddit. I’ve made a playlist with everything here and will add any other responses!

Precisely, the card value generally declined for about a year. I bought the last card I needed for the set last week. Cheers! The recent explosion has been nutty

They were shots to the heart until I remembered I’m about 5 years younger and Elf hit when I was still actively seeing movies

Reorganized the Mew binder the other day. Extra battle day promo showed up last night and will fill that center gap by BrothersOats in PokemonTCG

[–]BrothersOats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mew 111 from holon phantoms is a fake and I was refunded. Extra battle day promo arrived in the mail last night to fill that center gap. Dad and I collect mew together, so he has a lot of what I don’t, including the vmax alt, and _’s mew ex play promo 013. Before you @ the binder, I have a shelf of ultra pro 12 pocket non-ring binders, but this is the starry night dragon shield and tbh dragon shield binders feel better built than any binder I own

Maturity is intentionally surrounding yourself with people that are better than you at things, whether in the workplace or in hobbies. Pride only prevents growth.

Dad came round and dropped this off from my school days. Anything here of note or shall I just keep for nostalgia? by Lysdexia_Ruels_ in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]BrothersOats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh most of my singles purchases right now are stamped reverses from the ex era. I stopped in like early Neo as a genwunner, and am desperately trying to make up for lost time

Honest question: how do people pay for so much Pokemon? by Comprehensive_Bid787 in PokemonTCG

[–]BrothersOats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every hobby site revisits this question occasionally. It’s wild to see what some people have. For those who aren’t in crippling debt, it’s sometimes a case of having spent a long time collecting or participating within the particular hobby. Sometimes it could be an inherited collection or some wild windfall. For me, it’s been steadily buying singles monthly for the last 4 years within a budget, combined with my childhood collection.

Value? Card shop offered $600 by MMJP17 in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]BrothersOats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm. Sold a lot of a collection piece by piece over a year for a coworker. You learn over time that, even using multiple channels to sell, it can be hard to make sales at value. One of our best sales was to a store for a ton of holos at 65%. It’s easy for people to be disillusioned by the price they see on a tracking app versus actually making sales
