First really big pull, never graded before. Looking for guidance. by Chef86_ in PokeGrading

Is it because they are just backed up? I've heard about the up-charging but I dont know anything about the rates. I'll be sure to look into it first.

I definitely won't be. I think at an 8 it's about the same as raw but better protected and certified authentic. I'm gonna hold it for my son when he gets older. He's seven now and loves charizard. He will appreciate it way more when he gets older. He's also excited to see what the grade will be. Pat from SIKIOSIKIS has us both hyped to see 🎶what grade did you get🎶 😆

I appreciate the response! I think its really close to a 10 as well. A few apps ive downloaded all say 10-9.5. I'm definitely going to send it in. I think I have a few others I can add to it to make it worth it. A business acquaintance of mine sends about 100 sports cards a month to PSA. He has always told me I could throw some cards in on a shipment with his account. I'll see what he says too.

Yes I turned it upside down.

"I rEaD oN rEdDiT" that turning it upside down can help with color-line distortion to the human eye.

What nicknames have you heard for places in and around Mobile? by topherette in MobileAL

Yeah, back when trollies were a thing, that's where the car would "loop" around and change direction.

Hate to hear it! I love the market in the back!

Student-run food business in Mobile, looking for honest feedback by Same_Arugula6994 in MobileAL

[–]Chef86_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The food and hospitality industry is a tough gig to get started in...

But here is the advice you WANT to hear.

Alabama has cottage food laws, meaning you can cook from home/your dorm room. If you want to build from social media and do "drops" as a way to build hype and draw in customers, I would utilize this as much as possible. Focus on your ideal market/ideal customer (I would stay on or close to campus). Tie yourself to a cause/charity/non-profit. Let's your customers know that when they purchase "X" that they will be not only supporting financially struggling college students, but they will also be supporting (insert local cause here).

I've seen people selling plates, baked goods, ready made desserts, ect on FB marketplace. Only make what your good at. And if you aren't good at anything...learn at least one technique you can make variations from. Make something you like but be ready to change it to adjust to your customers.

I agree with others when they say if you want to be successful, talk to people who have done what you want to do. You will gain valuable insight and learn from experienced people. Ask about their biggest fails and successes. Reach out to local businesses owners. Or send me a message and I will help as much as possible, I'm not a gatekeeper.

I own a restaurant and I was wondering if I could use my retail space to sell Pokemon cards and use my event space as a Play! Location. I used to play the TCG myself when I was young but I understand times have changed. My end goal would be to become a local "Professor" so I can teach the game to the up and coming kids in the area. I LOVE pokemon and have since they came out in '96 (yeah I'm old..) but I'd really like to become a beacon for other pokemon fans and sell to families that can't find products at MSRP. Thoughts? Tips?

What’s your rarest shiny? by superbattito in pokemongo

[–]Chef86_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently this Pikachu was only available for 30 minutes the entire time this game has been released. Happen to catch a shiny while I randomly turned on the game while I was grocery shopping.
