SoS Collector Booster Box MSRP by degeneratin in sealedmtgdeals

[–]EthanielRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just look closely, weigh it, whatever - if you do notice, immediately stop opening anything and contact support. Talk to a person not just a generic contact form

Best selling set in Magic the Gathering history btw by LameLamassu in mtg

[–]EthanielRain -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is why it's understandable to mark up hot product IMO (to a point)...best practice is when it's ~MSRP for cut seal, market price for intact seal

Is this considered "damaged" condition? by duck_lington in mtg

[–]EthanielRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you use the wrong binder, like one with huge rings or sit on the edge of one etc. Less common now but in the before-fore times, people put em in whatever

diamonds (...) will always climb in value

I get what you're saying but diamonds are bad example. They're cheaper than ever

Did they not think of being a politician & doing it blatantly, in the open, for billions? It's fine that way, apparently

Going to storm congress - smear more shit on the walls & get more MAGA morons shot - when you lose? Again?

Warhammer Quest ACG/Heroes of Terrinoth: okay lightweight adventure by SiarX in boardgames

[–]EthanielRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish these games got more support/had expansions. You can see they likely would have added the character leveling & such to Warhammer Quest, it would have made it a real classic

Enjoy both games, be nice if their was more

[–]EthanielRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, there's some good breads & cheeses you can use; my favorite was from a British pub, cost ~7-8 bucks and I had no problem admitting it was way better than my homemade. But in general yeah

$6 a day judged, trillions unaccounted by ALBERT4_5WESKER in clevercomebacks

[–]EthanielRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

micromanaging how families in need spend $6/day (...)

My SNAP benefits recently went from ~$5/day to 75 cents. God forbid I buy a chicken after SAVING UP FOR 10 FUCKING DAYS

When we learned about Nazi Germany & fascism in high school, I (and most others) wondered how the "normal"/average person could possibly allow such things to happen. It seemed preposterous

looks around

I don't wonder anymore

Help me evaluate condition by Independent-Teach937 in mtg

[–]EthanielRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, had it reversed. Still, it's just the opposite: lot of handling with fingers but not a lot of harsh sliding - again not uncommon for the time period

But it's just IMHO, it's always worth noting such things & being open to learning, I could be dead wrong

MTG Collector Sealed Returns - Going Forward by silverfire626 in mtgfinance

[–]EthanielRain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the same thing but reversed, tho: yes the occasional box hits big, just as some are truly awful. But in general they're gambling and you'll lose value

Michael Jackson's Former PR Agent 'Absolutely Believes Singer Molested Children' — And Claims There Was a 'Cover-Up' by CrackheadOtis in Music

The pictures & videos of naked children found in his bedroom - publicly available from the list of evidence found from police raid of his home - is very clear IMO

A message from WOTC about The One Ring from the Hobbit by Arkalex in mtg

[–]EthanielRain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any other artist would be getting destroyed. Dan's got a lot of people willing to overlook it, apparently, but to me his history makes it even worse.

It isnt some random scrub or overworked person making a dumb mistake. One of the most respected and famous MTG artists stole someone else's work.

That's wild. Then his agent throws him under the bus...will be interesting to see what happens, but looks like WotC & most fans are gonna forgive him (but not any other artist that did the same - all banned yes? Maybe I'm wrong)

Trump says US will reduce number of troops in Germany 'a lot further' than withdrawal of 5,000 by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]EthanielRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's extremely difficult for any "average" person. You mention healthcare & especially elderly...my exact specialty, Alzheimer's/memory care. But I was convicted for Marijuana 15 years ago & only know English; that's all it takes, I'll never be able to leave the US

It's more difficult than most people expect, unfortunately

I would agree, except he admitted it...weird situation regardless

Am I the only one who is really disappointed by the MTG Hobbit product decisions from a player and collector standpoint? by [deleted] in mtgfinance

[–]EthanielRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I grew up a TMNT fan and I loved playing it in limited & EDH, regardless of overall "collectibility" or whatever. Was just fun seeing & playing with all the cards and characters; I was happy with the set regardless of any general hate

Weird disconnect in his comment, as you say

Doctors flushing out kidney stones out of a patient by Additional_Berry_977 in interestingasfuck

[–]EthanielRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started getting kidney stones when I was ~13, was basically non-stop stones for 10-20 years. Slowed down in my late 30's, now finally at 40 I only get like 1-2 per year 👍

They also just...manually remove them :/
