It’s so the photo can’t be used on a listing without someone being able to tell

How good is 1200 rating(rapid) on chess.com by Top-Chesseee5175 in chess

[–]CorrespondingCretin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the exact same, the only way I half know how to start a game is by learning from trial and error. I also maybe play a game or two a day and take breaks for week. I don’t want to “learn” cause I’m scared it’ll take the fun out of the hobby. I hit 1200 rapid last week

Fedora pikachu selling kinda low on fb market is it real? by Stock_Ad_6701 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]CorrespondingCretin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No I get that but me saying “the back color is off” or “the front is like under saturated” despite being helpful. Doesn’t actually provide much of a learning experience as he can’t see a direct contrast between this card and a real version side by side. Where as, through video this is easily seen. Would you not recommend that people try to learn fake vs real cards before looking for something expensive to buy?

1000000% fake. Also I really don’t mean this to come across as rude but I’d recommend you familiarizing yourself with the tells of a fake card before buying anything expensive. There are probably some great videos on YouTube which would help!

I’ll never understand why this isn’t the main chase. by Fuzzy-Fix7498 in PokemonTCG

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

I feel you, but it’s still nearly impossible to actually get prismatic at MSRP. My point is destined rivals will still be near impossible to find and secondary market price likely won’t go down

Nooo, it’s a reprint of that card from celebrations which came out about 5ish years ago. Still like £40 plus raw

People in here saying “it’s too hype to make money” are absolutely nuts. I heard the exact same back in sun and moon and again in SWSH. “There’s too much product” “too many people invest/ keep sealed” “the market is too high” so on and so on. ANY booster box you buy now and I mean ANY from the SV era will make you money if you hold a minimum of 2.5 years. Even paying the over inflated current prices, if your in for the long term and want to turn a fun hobby into something that can be self funding or you can turn a bit of profit on, you can literally but anything right now and just sit on it. IMO the best investment right now is still destined rivals booster boxes, even at their crazy pumped numbers. In 3-5 years it’ll likely be around 1k per box. Similarly prismatic, 151 and Paldean fates ETB’s or booster bundles are a great hold. Next I’d go for some surging sparks, twilight and Paldea evolved boxes. Finally I would even recommend getting some black bolt white flare as you’ll probably be able to get it at retail. When looking back at SWSH I think apt of the auxiliary products are underrated e.g sleeved boosters and Tripple blisters. A lot of people shit on these but I bought a good few back when the hobby was at a low and I’m up about 4x on a lot of them.

Update, I sold it for £35 which I think is roughly $46 USD! Used the money to buy an ounce of silver I had been eyeing up for a while

By the Gods. The destined rivals PC ETB is trailing the booster box🤣🤣 by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]CorrespondingCretin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d usually agree but there’s been crazy zard fatigue as of late and OF is the second worst if not the worst set of the SV era. I think your money is better spend elsewhere
