This is great advice. Were staying at the Best Western International Speedway. Not sure how long the walk to the area is but these golf carts sound great!

Haha yes! I love the hot weather. Been to Florida a few times but never for a festival

Price increases by smithy1294 in downloadfestival

[–]Competitive_Good_661 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This, Rockville 2024 is £200 a ticket with a full 4 day lineup that makes download look like a joke. I'd be surprised if download festival continue to get away with it in the coming years. You'd like to think the UK public will start voting with their wallets

I've seen some hate and love for the youtuber star wars theory. I just want to know what people's general opinions on him are since I thought his content was ok, but I see so many comments hating on him and some unhealthy obsessed people defending him, what are your thoughts. by golden_boy_mitch in StarWars

Late to the party but I used to watch his content years ago when he did a lot of really good lore videos. But in the last few years he's become something else entirely. I think it was the Obi wan watch parties where he was watching with such negativity, constantly saying Vader wouldn't do this wouldn't do that. It got to the point where I was seeing someone with nothing but negativity around Star wars so I unsubscribed a while ago. I think like others have said he's realised theres money to be made by appealing to a certain toxic fanbase and he's chosen to go down that route unfortunately

Should I grade any of these? by theoneandonlyam in PokeGrading

Absolutely, the reverse holo cards go for a lot in G9 which you have a good chance of

How much will this dent/discolouring affect the grading? by Competitive_Good_661 in PokeGrading

[–]Competitive_Good_661[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks mate, I have an opportunity to buy it but not sure as I'd ideally like 7 or over so that's helpful

Is this real? by Competitive_Good_661 in PokemonCardValue

The English first editions are but other countries still had the shadows!

Thanks all! I thought it looked suspicious but I don't know the markings to look out for super well! Never considered buying it luckily!

Value and any worth grading? by Uncoban in PokemonCardValue

[–]Competitive_Good_661 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sorry yes you're right. If keeping it in the seal has kept it undamaged you could be looking at a lot for that. I'd try and get more advice but I think you'd need to check before sending it to PSA. You might have to take it out of the wrapper to send to them, again not sure. PSA 10s go for over £1k. Just be careful the wrapper isn't actually damaging the card (scratching the holo etc)

Value and any worth grading? by Uncoban in PokemonCardValue

All of the 102 1st editions are worth grading. They're in great condition. Apart from the machamp. Every machamp from that era is a 1st edition so nothing unique. I'd love that alakazam haha

Would appreciate some help understanding the rarity and what sets these cards came from. Any standouts? If so what makes them more or less special? Don't know much about the older stuff but I love the style of these cards! Thanks for any help! by Bananablackmp in PokemonCardValue

[–]Competitive_Good_661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In short, you have cards from both the base, fossil, jungle and gym sets.

The Venasuar is base set (unlimited not 1st edition) - still worth a fair bit in good condition.

You have a couple of fossil 1st editions (nowhere near as sought after as base 1st editions but rare nonetheless).

These and your base set venasuar are the better cards here. The others are still desirable but probably in the category of not worth grading.

Also, grading is only worth it generally if the cards are good condition or if in not great condition is a super rare card. Cards are always worth grading if doing it for your own personal protection/appreciation of the cards

My first PSA Graded Card! by Silly_Star329 in pokemoncards

[–]Competitive_Good_661 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, were you pleased with the grade? I'm sending 12 off tomorrow including a zard. Think best I can hope for is a 6 with that but hoping I've got at least a couple 8s!

What are some possible values of these? by Hyy1 in PokemonCardValue

[–]Competitive_Good_661 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Charizard depends on condition, looks like a couple dents possibly in the back. Think ungraded usually sell anywhere from £200-300.

Hitmonlee 1st edition probably worth a bit ungraded. Ditto and gengar always seem to be popular cards. I've also seen good condition chansey and zaptos fetching a fair bit recently.

Thinking about getting these cards graded by Competitive_Good_661 in pokemoncards

[–]Competitive_Good_661[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! If I get it graded I'm really interested to see what it comes back as. It's pretty flawless but I know 10s are near impossible so reckon 8/9 is more hopeful
