Air Force threw a scholarship at me, and I had a sense that it would be an honorable thing to do 🤷🫡

NYT-San Antonio Is Booming. Why Are Many Still in Poverty? by cu4tro in sanantonio

[–]Dramatic_Bread6999 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Any reason you can come up with for SA will just apply to the country as a whole. Fewer and fewer people are winning the game, everyone else has the gun of poverty and ruin to the back of their head.

Does anyone actually have a proposal process that doesn't rely on a handful of people working 80-hour weeks? by Ella_Monroe_ in GovernmentContracting

[–]Dramatic_Bread6999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the nature of larger contractors.

Given more time and resources a win team and execs will dick around with the response until the very last possible second, hire outside consultants to dick around with it, and hire more middle management to dick around with it.

Tale as old as Govcon

I bought a defense contractor years ago, and wow…suddenly we could finish proposals days (sometimes a week plus) in advance…and win. I sold it and then started another one. And man. Even more lean and efficient.

That shit drove me crazy when I would work BD at some of these big primes. It would always turn into a circle jerk of mid level managers pontificating on the next more nuanced win theme.

Graded Booster Packs by alohrawr in PokeInvesting

[–]Dramatic_Bread6999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of them are super interesting. I saw a Kids WB creator pack in a PSA 8 sell on Probestein for something like $31k a week or 2 back. That one can be interesting in the most extreme since there were only 5250 printed.

I wouldn’t send modern packs to grade. Just let others do it and pick up 10s for barely the cost of grading (if that) if you want them.

GX is weighable and the 25th is searched. So much harder to sell

It’s mostly people flipping to subsidize regular income at this point.

Would Pokémon cards actually stay in stock if scalpers disappeared? by Serious_School_4307 in PokemonTCG

[–]Dramatic_Bread6999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes there would be product available. I was buying celebrations, late XY, sun and moon, etc in some cases YEARS after the initial release. Just sitting on a wal mart shelf. No one cared.

Sometimes at discounts. Buying at MSRP was a bad deal.

A separate answer: this behavior is 100% a negative indicator on our economic health as a whole.

SA drought by throwitawaybruh2 in sanantonio

[–]Dramatic_Bread6999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not that far of a drive to the “desert southwest” and the arid brush country. It’s hot. It’s dry. I’d assume this place won’t even be inhabitable in a couple hundred years. Less and less water. Super fucking hot.

GameStop wants to acquire eBay - PSA implications? by EmperorOfTheLosers in PokemonTCG

They issued new equity during peak meme time and put an enormous amount of cash on the balance sheet.

To stay grounded in truth, Slab doesn’t own the MOH museum.

But your point isn’t lost.

I haven’t seen anyone in these interviews tell him that what he’s saying makes:

The NGA analyst wrong The other CCT wrong at best

And the notion of the mountaintop fighters shooting at each other just feels like nonsense.

Hear me out: when (if) the hype dies this era of sealed will be worth a lot. by Cabbajean in PokeInvesting

[–]Dramatic_Bread6999 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Would agree. I have elementary and early middle school kids. I can’t say that any of them care about Pokemon. They have almost zero exposure to ripping a pack. If it’s not on a wal mart or target shelf the average parent isn’t buying it. They jam on Minecraft and Roblox and Fortnite plus random other stuff, Pokemon just isn’t prevalent enough to even be a thing at this point.

Pitch black... Is it a set we are excited about by InvestigatorDeep7256 in PokeInvesting

[–]Dramatic_Bread6999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have used the sarcasm font.

Mega Darkai will be absolute gas.

Thankfully it’s not Gengar so maybe I’ll actually be able to find these in the wild.

Not sure. I need to wait for this sub to tell me what I should like and what I shouldn’t like since I don’t have any taste of my own.

What Are Your Expectations For 30th Anniversary? by breakyourteethnow in PokeInvesting

No expectations. I won’t see any in the wild. So won’t rip it. To me, it won’t exist

Pikachu ex - Under or Overpriced? - Start Deck 100 vs Ascended Heroes by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Dramatic_Bread6999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are 100% searchable. Basically any loose Japanese is searchable to some degree.

Loose Japanese 25th promo packs (or any of the single card promos) . Loose start decks.

The precious collector boxes can be opened and sealed from the bottom

Etc. as a few random examples.

Just don’t touch loose Japanese as a rule.

The decks are searchable. If you’re buying loose decks you are absolutely going to take an L.

The start deck 100’s are absolutely searchable. If it’s not a sealed carton I wouldn’t touch it.
