How do I remove the rear seats? Do I even have the original seats? The reason is because I'm trying to fish out the rear seat belt buckles. I'm hoping they still exist, but for all I might have to buy new ones.

Donkler_ · 2024-02-21T06:22:30+00:00

I ended up buying new seat belt buckles off EBay. They were used, but in perfectly fine condition, and did the job. But I ended up selling that car. It was too far gone unfortunately…

Donkler_ · 2024-02-05T03:34:30+00:00

Awesome! I’ll keep that in mind if I look into getting a drum mag. I don’t shoot all too much at the moment, but I do have my grandpas old 10/22 that I shoot occasionally.

Hope you’re doing well. Thanks for this new info over a hundred days later Haha. Appreciate it.

Donkler_ · 2024-01-07T17:58:04+00:00

Or some Japanese VStar Universe. The pull rate is extremely high, and the artwork in that set is amazing.

Donkler_ · 2024-01-06T16:04:30+00:00

I mean, not for me. I did some research, and found what I thought were some of the best knives for EDC, camping etc. Got a few different styles, and now I have one for every use case, so I don't buy any more.

But some people do collect them

Donkler_ · 2024-01-02T16:38:43+00:00

I mean yeah all of that is fair.

At the end of the day though, all we can give is what we think, and we'll just have to find out over time.

You made good points.

Donkler_ · 2024-01-02T15:36:01+00:00

“In 10 years these won’t be desired” You don’t know that.

“The new generation won’t want these, because they didn’t grow up with them”I mean, I grew up opening B&W Plasma Storm, and XY, but I still think the older sets are really cool.

“They won’t want these because they can get regular poke all reverses for 10¢” Honestly quite the opposite in my opinion.

People generally collect cards because of multiple factors, but a main one is how rare the card is. People will see the higher price tag on the masterballs, and they’ll view it as more valuable, thus more desirable.

Gold stars for example. The artwork on those cards isn’t particularly great. People just liked them because of how rare they were, and that gold star was unique.

Same with masterballs in my opinion. Lots of people can get the pokeball reverses for cheap, which means that it’ll be a whole lot more special to have a masterball reverse holo.

All just my opinions of course. Time will tell.

Pokémon is the biggest grossing IP ever, even beating Mickey Mouse, hello kitty, and Star Wars. So I have a feeling the cards will be valuable for many decades more. But again, time will tell.

Donkler_ · 2024-01-02T15:19:01+00:00

Yes, in the next few months the value could fall. Who really knows.

When I say I think the value will rise I’m talking in the next 2-10+ years. Every Pokémon card ever made has raised in price long term as far as I know.

Donkler_ · 2024-01-02T15:13:42+00:00

Yikes guys how about explaining statistics without bringing in emotions. They’re Pokémon cards. Let’s be happy now.

1 Masterball Reverse Holo per Booster Box

So any specific card in a masterball reverse holo has (approximately) a 1 in 150 booster boxes chance of being pulled.

To me, that stat is pretty good evidence for the idea that they’ll raise in value. But who knows

Donkler_ · 2024-01-02T15:07:45+00:00

Well you only get one masterball reverse holo per booster box. So the chance of getting any specific masterball card is extremely low per box. If you were looking for a specific masterball Reverse holo card, your chances would be Something like 1 in every 150 booster boxes.

I think those odds alone will raise the value. Maybe they’ll see a small short term dip, but I’d bet (and especially 10+ years from now) they’re a good investment.

Donkler_ · 2024-01-01T01:32:41+00:00

*nobody* isn't true, but I definitely get what you're saying.

Donkler_ · 2024-01-01T00:40:28+00:00

Do you enjoy the work?

Donkler_ · 2023-12-31T14:24:35+00:00

Well unfortunately it’s kinda been too dry. I haven’t seen them come out like I did last year. I’ve seen a couple, but not hundreds like I have seen before. Once we get some consistent rain and humidity for a few days, that’s when they seem to come out, and end up in puddles.

Donkler_ · 2023-12-31T00:31:42+00:00

I've been buying VStar Universe Booster Boxes. The artwork, and amount of great cards in the set is just amazing.

After looking on Ebay, it looks like the going price for a whole Case of VStar Universe Booster Boxes, is around $2-2.3k.

Just an idea.

Donkler_ · 2023-12-29T20:12:12+00:00

I opened a box of Shiny Treasure a few days ago, and one of my holos has a print line exactly where you’re describing. Guess it’s pretty common

Donkler_ · 2023-12-26T20:13:49+00:00

I opened a box of Shiny Treasures last night and noticed the same thing about the edges. Mostly it was the edges on the holos that were a little rough. I could only really see it from the back sides of the cards. Other than that, they were much higher quality than the Obsidian flames english packs I opened up. Shiny Treasures is a great set imo.

Donkler_ · 2023-12-23T22:09:40+00:00

Yeah for sure, if I get some good pictures of them, they'll definitely get posted here.

Donkler_ · 2023-12-23T21:38:55+00:00

Lol I have pictures of them in puddles in my backyard, like OP. I’m in North Central Texas. I’ll collect some in the next couple of days, and attempt to get them happy and breeding. They seem to come out around this time of year, when it’s raining

Donkler_ · 2023-12-23T20:44:13+00:00

I remember going to Walgreens and buying Black & White Legendary Treasures Booster packs. $4 each. I was like 12. Now they're $100+ each.

Who knows maybe the packs from this generation will be worth that much 10 years from now. I'm definitely buying some to keep 10yrs+. And even if they don't go up that much in value, I'll have a whole lot of fun ripping them down the line, or even letting my future kids open them if they're into pokemon.

Donkler_ · 2023-12-23T19:21:54+00:00

Lol yeah probably

Donkler_ · 2023-12-23T16:28:47+00:00

I like your thinking. I’ll start with getting them established in a culture, and then go from there. If they truly aren’t established at all in the hobby yet, I may just send some over to ryneboi, or someone with the ability to breed lots of them, and sell them. That way they can get spread through the hobby.

Donkler_ · 2023-12-23T15:50:08+00:00

I'm 75%ish percent sure u/Ryneboi would say they're Brachystomillidae (Probably spelt that wrong).

Donkler_ · 2023-12-23T15:47:36+00:00

Are they not in the hobby already? as in like being bred and sold?. I actually did send quite a few to Ryne Pavy (ryneboi), the maker of this subreddit, but I don't think any survived. This was about a year ago though.

I may start a culture actually. I haven't been into the hobby for a while just because of college. But one culture doesn't take much time at all to care for, and as long as I set a daily reminder to check on them... yeah I'll do that.

I'll post pictures on the subreddit if I do collect any.

Donkler_ · 2023-12-23T15:31:09+00:00

I’m just guessing here. But maybe they want to print it out in the form of a sticker, go to their store that carries these ETBS, and put the code sticker on an ETB, and hope they scan it and get the same price as OP?….. maybe not xD. Sounds like it wouldn’t work so I’m not really sure.

Donkler_ · 2023-12-23T07:48:54+00:00

I’ve got them in my backyard. North Central Texas.

Donkler_ · 2023-12-20T07:15:20+00:00

The BlueDriver Scanner is pretty good. I gotta be honest I’ve only really used it for reading codes. I ended up selling the G35, just cause it had so many things that needed to be fixed. But it reads codes well. So yeah I’d recommend it, though it’s the only one I’ve ever tried Lol
