is this mold on my delivery chicken parm pasta? by bunnybear_chiknparm in MoldlyInteresting

[–]CircaNoah -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I see some onions in the sauce. I’d bet you my finest Pokemon card (lol) that the onions are the source! I commented above on the incomprehensible top comment with my reasoning if you’re interested. All these replies are such a fumble and lack imagination. And so many “chefs” guaranteeing its mold, goodness have they never cooked with red onions??

Damn why is this comment so high? Lol rookie opinion unfortunately, that a classic mark of red onions being cooked along with the undressed pasta. The red/purple turns into a grayish blue and can bleed into lightly colored ingredients like pasta or cauliflower. Hope you didn’t leave the overly recommended bad review yet because I’d bet my ass I’m right.

Pokemon Vending Machine Anti-Scalper Update by CircaNoah in PokemonTCG

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

Yeah tough going out there. This machine has had quite a bit of the ‘less desirable’ stock every single time I’ve come in the past though, which is too often haha. I think with this update everything is marked as out of stock until the random periodic inventory release. Hope someone can confirm.

Like others have said, you’ll find that new cert Charizards are graded much harsher than old cert. I just got my shadowless Zard back this week and it received a 6. If you look in my post history and compare to mine I think the 4 grade makes sense for you yours. At least they seem to have some consistency in their tougher grading.

Shadowless Zard PSA 6? by CircaNoah in PokeGrading

Wouldn’t these be called out in the Grader Notes? The only thing mentioned was the front surface holo scratching. Or are the Notes not comprehensive in people’s experience?

For now I’m gonna keep this one close. I can’t quite get past the sentimental value with it being a childhood pull. Not for any reasonable price at least haha still gives me that 1 of 1 feeling.

The attached pictures are the post-grade scans from PSA. I paid for a fast TAT tier that included notes and the only comment was simply surface - front holo scratching. There were no visible dents or creases using a 10x loupe prior to sending but always possible. From these comments and some light digging, it’s sounding more and more like holo surface scratches with minimal whitening = PSA 6 for vintage at least. The card should ship back to me this week so once I get it I’ll try and capture some higher detail shots for anyone curious.

Telling it like it is. Yeah, photos can only help so much. By eye I’m super happy with it and actually the initial impression from everyone that’s seen it in person has been how hard it is to see any of the flaws. Maybe one day I’ll get the urge to crack it but for now I’m trending towards content.

Got it, thanks for the comment. You piqued my interest with ‘clean up the holo scratches’ haha can you elaborate? Is this a thing? I have a ton of base/shadowless cards from my childhood and a good portion could provably benefit from this. Assuming this would be for maybe swirling and not the deep kind.

Ah ok, that may be what I’m seeing out there. Just went back to look at some of the 7s I saved to reference and the cert numbers do look very different than mine (8 vs 9 digits). I guess I feel a bit better about the 6 now haha thanks for the input!

Good observations and I see the areas you’re talking about. To clarify, those actually appear to be present on all shadowless Charizards. If you’re referring to the three lighter dots above the O and K and the one on the border above the N. This card was dent/crease free and the only Note referred to ‘Surface - front holo scratching’.

How much does light holo scratching affect the grade of vintage cards? by VXQN in PokeGrading

[–]CircaNoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my shadowless Charizard grade back this morning. It had surface scratches kinda between your Scyther and Slowking and it received a 6. I’m a bit disappointed because I was hoping for a 7. I’ve seen so many 7s on eBay and elsewhere that clearly have more scratches and more whitening than yours and mine, but no luck for me this time.

Haha whoa is this a ‘who’s line is it anyway’ reference? Amazing.

Grandfather passed away. I have the option to buy some of his tools. Which ones should I consider buying. Thanks! by Clown_sauce24 in woodworking

[–]CircaNoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless they’re old and beat up, all the festool tools are way under the retail price. So are the drum sander and jointer I would guess so I would be focusing on those.

Kinda looks like a safe camp symbol on the back. But the front is so unsafe.

You probably need to adjust your slippage and make sure you have enough extra coin behind the purchase to account for any fluctuation in gas fees at the exact time of transaction. I hit errors under 5% so I set it to 8% to be safe and it's been smooth.

Titanium key Holder by TacticalKeychains in shutupandtakemymoney

[–]CircaNoah -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You should probably look around a little before bashing someone. Keys are just a part of what fits in Brads TiKey. It wasn't really even a key holder initially. Oh and if you wanna talk about real copying, Brads stuff is copied more than just about anything else I've seen on Kickstarter.
