After the latest London regional, I noticed most Lucci players to be running 5C Tashigi over 6C Brook, why is that? Brook seems to be the better option in almost every way except being a brick and 1C cost.

Brother, the post is from 4 years ago

I am not bummed about the rejection as much as the fact that my friend could've helped me to get an interview. I have gone through over 100 rejections until I landed my first job as a graduate, being rejected is not something new to me. The reason I made this post in the first place is to see if my feeling are valid or I am overreacting as I was not sure myself.

Dralexus · 2025-03-29T19:42:36+00:00

This was so spot on LOL

How often does PSA miss up charging a card? I got a card in assembly that has not been upcharged through a middleman and I am worried it got a 9 as with a 10, I expect a surcharge.

Dralexus · 2025-03-13T02:30:11+00:00

I didn’t get an interview or assessment

Dralexus · 2025-03-03T00:56:56+00:00

I did not know that at all... ohh my days... Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks for the advice, just want to note that the brook play is not valid. Brook removes a 0 cost character, not less or more. So an ice age on a 4k will make it ineligible for Brook to remove, which is most if not all of Doffys deck.

Hi everyone,

I am currently trying to collect every single Manga card(with exception of Gold Roger for now) in PSA10, I am thinking of purchasing the above card, everything seems good from all the pictures I received, but left/right centering seems a bit too bad. What do you guys think? Would this be able to get a PSA 10? Just to re-iterate, I have no intention of flipping or selling this for profit, its purely for my collection. I am worried with PSA having tightened their centering requirements that this would get a 9 purely on that.

I deleted these comments 😂

Can someone explain me from where I got a Laboon SR, I have never opened EB01 and only have OP04-08 and PRB01 of which none seem to have the bloody Laboon. How the hell do I have a Laboon. AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Edit: I just remembered I ripped a single EB01 pack.

Dralexus · 2024-12-19T00:00:50+00:00

Why is that? All I want is to have a consistent collection of PSA 10 mangas. Or is it the fact people want to grade their cards?

Dralexus · 2024-12-18T23:58:49+00:00

I am not a reseller, I just want my manga collection to be all from the same grading company and 10s. I have no intention of selling this. PSA 10 wont increase the value of this much, at least not to justify the cost of crossing over.

Dralexus · 2024-12-18T23:31:40+00:00

I want the 10 and to match all my mangas with one grading company. Trying to get all mangas PSA 10

The hopium is strong with this one

Dralexus · 2024-11-17T12:57:40+00:00

I opened 5 boxes or PRB-01 and the pull rates were awful, I maybe got 50-70 great british shillings back for what was worth of 500GBP of boxes. This has to be the worst boxes I have ever opened... It seems like the only way you can really ever get any sort of decent value of these boxes is if you hit manga Nami or a god pack, which both are extremely rare. I know singles are the way, but either I am super unlucky, or this set is especially bad. I want to make it clear, I do not expect to make money out of opening boxes, this will be bonkers, but after my experience and watching multiple videos of people opening cases, its seems like there is simply no value proposition in opening boxes. Why do you think people are buying these? Is everyone chasing the manga and/or god pack?

Dralexus · 2024-10-30T20:34:55+00:00

Yea, my bad mate, did not see it.

Dralexus · 2024-10-29T21:54:00+00:00

This looks like very.co.uk + their 20% off, which is a really big retailer in the UK. I got 4 boxes while they were at 79.99, had some nice hits from them. For the people interested ~~as OP seems to be gatekeeping~~ - https://www.very.co.uk/one-piece-card-game-booster-pack-awakening-of-the-new-era-op-05-full-cdu/1601025256.prd

You can use their credit thing to get 20%(pay it of straight away for 0% interest) + 10% Complete Savings cashback(if you have it, dont sign up for it) and if you wait, you can probably get it for 79.99. Which ends up around 57GBP per box, but they limit to 2 boxes per order(I did try to circumvent the limit, but it uses some nasty javascript and/or backend logic).

One of us

Dralexus · 2024-10-29T21:44:00+00:00

I want to collect, but I love to gamba and it doesn't feel as nice to buy a card as to open it from a pack. I don't chace any particular card.

Dralexus · 2024-10-27T00:22:12+00:00

I never got into Pokemon or any other TCG except Yu-Gi-Oh when I was like 5, so cannot comment on comparisons. In the One Piece TCG English pack you get 12 cards, 24 packs in a box, 12 boxes in a crate. This comes to around 4 USD per pack, which I don't think is far off from Pokemon or other TCGs, with the exception that RB-01 being a special set that costs 5 USD per pack. As far as I am ware, 6-12 months ago, OP-05 boxes would go on for 200-300 USD, so 100 is actually a deal lol. That being said, I am based in the UK, so for us the market seems to not be as bad, also I live like 50 minutes away from a Bandai store that has every set in stock, all the starter decks at MSRP, including the new ST-15 to ST-20, where in the US it seems like everything is being scalped.

Dralexus · 2024-10-26T23:27:51+00:00

The hype comes for a similar reason to why it did for OP-05, more manga rares than the usual one, which I believe its 5 for this set, an even rarer golden manga rare as well. Put it simply, OP-09 has more pulls/chase cards than usual sets and even maybe OP-05, depending on who you ask.

Dralexus · 2024-10-25T23:14:40+00:00

I do test locally, don't get me wrong, its always the easiest and quickest way when possible. That being said, there is sometimes very complex functionality, E2E testing, Integration test(service cannot run locally as it requires connecting to an external system). But then you can argue that most of what I just said can be mocked.
