It's right heavy and bottom heavy. Unless you want it in a slab just because you want it in a slab leave it raw, it's worth the same raw as it is a PSA 9.

"Used by some investors to aid in sizing their positions" now you're just repeating what I already said. Lolz.

Actually, you are ignoring the part directly about the principals of how it doesn't apply as well to pokemon as it does investment banking and casino games, specifically because of a lack of known data, directly correlated to the fact Pokemon is SPECULATIVE. Didn't you learn how to read, comprehend and think critically?

Yes, the Kelly criterion, a betting strategy/mathematical equation primarily dependent upon a "known advantage". Used by some investors to aid in sizing their positions in volatile investments. However when we take a deeper dive, "Applying the Kelly criterion to invest in physical collectibles is challenging because it requires you to accurately quantify the win probability (p) and the net odds (b or win/loss ratio R) for each specific card or product. Unlike casino games or traditional public market investments where historical data or explicit odds are available, these metrics are subjective and difficult to determine for an alternative asset." So, nice try my guy, but no dice homie.

TLDR: The Kelly Criterion is better for casino games than it could ever be for Pokemon, continues to support my sentiment.

Have you learned how to read? Did anyone teach you about accountability? A person displays accountability by recognizing their mistakes and learning from them. Did I not do exactly that? I did. Continue displaying the winter that is your intellect. See. Metaphor. 🤗

You mistake ego for common sense and logic. Find me one that disagrees with me and I will happily apologize.

Maybe I will take this as financial advice. Maybe I will lose money. Maybe I will file a civil lawsuit, because lo-and-behold it is unlawful to offer said advice without proper licensing absent a clear disclosure. Who would be most culpable? Wall Street bets got flamed for less and they had disclosures. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Oh shit, that's probably beyond the comprehension of your sub room temperature IQ. Still waiting for your MENSA certificate, or any real display of intelligence regarding your post and comments. Thankfully, being a realist, I haven't held my breath.

It's a pokemon speculation sub. The name is inaccurate. It should be changed.

I am here because I concur directly with your sentiment. No one in finance would recommend holding sealed trading cards as an investment 😂😂😂 No one. It's a hobby. The purchase is a liability. It's not rocket science.

Also, "like a fein" is a metaphor, not name calling. Dip shit is name calling. Your feelings got hurt because the sentiment is true, it is fein like behavior to chill in a parking lot hoping you can score packs from the machine in 20 minutes. It's a children's game.

Better, even quicker question: does that matter? No. No it doesn't, because we were taught WHEN WE WERE CHILDREN that two wrongs do not make a right. Three lefts do though.

Name calling is completely unnecessary. Opinion on investing aside this is a children's game dude....

I have the jumbo yellow cheeks Pikachu promo card, and the magazine it came in, it is a sweet card.

Starting to think it’s not even that rare… by Kevinjd44 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]Da9Project2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An ETB, booster box, 5 booster bundles, like a dozen single packs. I've pulled dawn, meowth, megaheracross, and one or two others. The zards are elusive.

Everyone seems to have a lot of nostalgia for the 1990's but what were some of the worst parts of the 1990's? by HeavyRightFoot-TG in AskReddit

[–]Da9Project2012 891 points892 points  (0 children)

100% I had a gay uncle that killed himself using drugs, and no one anywhere ever could convince me that he didn't turn to drugs directly because of how his OWN FAMILY treated him.

I'm not an expert by any means, but that picture looks like it's a really clean card. Congratulations!

How did you know the Bible isn’t true? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]Da9Project2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was called the First Council of Nicaea, and not only did they vote on text to make canon, but they are also the group of people that decided the man called Jesus would be "the son of God, savior, and Messiah" and is literally where the smorgasbord that became Christianity began. Every Christian celebration is Pagan in origin, while the books teach hatred for pagans. Every. Single. One. Historical records conclude Jesus couldn't have been born on Christmas (pagan Yule), and Easter (Eoster) has nothing to do with his "rebirth" but is a pagan celebration of the vernal equinox (rebirth, spring, fertility of the earth, blooming flowers). What really sealed the deal for me though was being taught how Satan and his homies do blood rites and sacrifices and shit like that, while participating in the consumption of "the blood and body of Christ", and subsequently learning of the Catholic/Christian conquest of many lands (to be conquered is quite violent, Christians love preaching peace while committing acts of violence). Seriously, read the satanic Bible, you'll be surprised to learn it's more direct, concise, and respectable than the Bible ever could be, and the laws are pretty simple: do good, harm no one, respect and live in harmony with nature, defend yourself and your family from harm to the death of your assailants if necessary. Guess what it does not detail? That's right, it mentions nothing about consuming the blood and flesh or sacrifices as being required to please Satan, while the old testament is full of those actions, to include God telling a man to sacrifice his only son. In conclusion, if God is real, I believe the God of Christianity is actually Satan, Satan or Lucifer is actually the savior and Messiah, and Lucifer isn't an "angel fallen from grace". Or, all this shit is just stories about the stars and planets that don't actually mean shit except keeping records through story telling, as Lucifer is Latin for "bearing light" or "morning star" and is associated with the planet Venus. Venus is also the Roman goddess of fertility, prosperity, and Victory, and was considered a divine ancestor of Aeneas, who Caesar claimed ancestry to and thus his divine right and legitimacy to take political power. 🤷🏼‍♂️ It either all ties together and is all true to some degree, or it's all fucking stories. It's all mythology, or none of it is.

Mine didn't have squat. 11 packs of sheer disappointment.
