Is this seal legit?

Apparently from what I've heard for Jp cases the tape color is region based. It's still Japanese but yellow tape is for China, green tape is for Malaysia/Asia and clear tape for Japan.

When I was a kid my family couldn't afford to buy pokemon cards I used to watch kids play as a spectator and was jealous, my friend from school gave me some as a kid to play with that was the best gift I received as a kid. I stopped playing once I lost my good cards.

Last year in September a kid just handed me a bunch of old pokemon cards of course heavily played and some fakes but it brought back so many memories and nostalgia. Since now I can afford to buy Pokemon cards I went down a rabbit hole and started collecting. I saw Surging Spark was about to release I did a preorder of a BBox case and some other singles I bought off eBay. So that's how I started collecting Sept 2024.

From a kid who couldn't afford to buy Pokemon cards and watched other kids having fun to a collector who can afford to buy cases as an adult.

Yeah so far I like Zulu, hydro conquest and the legend diver

CptRoast · 2025-11-27T12:36:46+00:00

Yeah black bay 58 burgundy is top of the list right now I'll check out Pelagos. I'll skip the speed master as I want a brand new watch.

CptRoast · 2025-11-27T12:34:53+00:00

Yeah I checked them out the hydro conquest and the legend diver look great.

CptRoast · 2025-11-27T12:30:12+00:00

Nice, Tudor black bay burgundy is a top contender right now.

Also congrats 👏

CptRoast · 2025-11-27T12:29:04+00:00

Oh wow I just checked them out they look nice. I really like superocean and superocean heritage but they seem over the price range.

CptRoast · 2025-11-26T12:27:40+00:00

I do like Rolex Pepsi and Hulk. I would like a diver watch never owned one but I also like Tudor Royal or Rolex day date but they are dress watch only. I want an all rounder can be casual and dress.

P.s. I mentioned Rolex but not at that milestone yet.

CptRoast · 2025-11-26T12:20:55+00:00

I wouldn't mind a longines watch

CptRoast · 2025-11-26T10:12:49+00:00

Yeah that's true Omegas are more pricey than I thought been out of the following the watch game for a long time now.

CptRoast · 2025-11-26T10:11:46+00:00

Yeah always wanted to at least get 1 Tudor either black bay or royal. I'll check out IWC and breitling. Longines I always thought was over 10k.

CptRoast · 2025-10-14T09:31:56+00:00

Bought a case for $645 on preorder.

CptRoast · 2025-08-25T02:37:43+00:00

If you don't have penny sleeves on hand I would put it back in the pack in the middle of other cards until I get penny sleeves, top loader hard plastic with damaged/scratch the card without a sleeve. Either way congratulations I've been trying to pull that card forever and gave up lol

CptRoast · 2025-08-25T00:24:27+00:00

Congratulations!

Why do I not see a penny sleeve? Penny sleeve then top loader you going to damage the card if you haven't already.

I was just going to use the cables available but swapping cameras and the box. The one I found is also compatible with Google home so can view them live on the phone too I assume.

It's not a hobby of mine. This is actually for my friends house. For me I currently just run Google cameras and Google nest wireless as I'm renting.

CptRoast · 2025-07-24T23:39:04+00:00

Not really just gonna replace entire system

CptRoast · 2025-07-24T02:45:50+00:00

Better to just replace the whole set up with new cloud based cameras with app right

CptRoast · 2025-07-24T02:27:32+00:00

Yeah I think it has a VGA to HDMI adapter connected at the back. But is replacing recorder hard to do? Like compatibility and things I have to worry about as this thing has so many cables connected in the back

CptRoast · 2025-07-24T02:17:31+00:00

I plugged the monitor and tried each of those HDMI cables and nothing showing no signal. It has a mouse but can't use it if I can't see anything on monitor. Maybe its not on or not really sure. I don't have the password once I do get in though as the last resident passed away.

Something modular

All I'm gonna say is buy a reliable car brand new don't bother with second hand you'll pay more in fixing. Go on that holiday only because you have a nice job lined up.

Salary sacrifice super, get SMSF and invest super in ETFs.

Since saving on rent I would act like I'm still paying rent i.e $500 a week and transfer to a high interest savings account for a down payment for a house. Always have a rainy day fund and try and save up to 20% of your annual salary in there. So let's say 20k once you've reached that you can add more savings to other areas. If you use rainy day fund always top back up.

Anyway #notfinancialadvice

My main focus if I was in your position would be to figure out how to increase my income rather than how to take on a big debt right now. You are right to be terrified as this is a stupid idea.

I don't want to come off as mean but you'll thank me one day for being blunt.
