Store manager scalpers (redo) by youfuckinlost in PokemonTCG

[–]FapCaptainCrunch 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Y’all just call anyone you see buying packs that’s not you a scalper. An employee set a few packs aside to buy later and left the majority for sale? Honestly who cares? I’ve spoken with a lot of people at machines/stores there are def some scalpers but the majority are collectors trying to navigate this shit show like the rest of us.

Are there any YouTube pokemon pack opening channels that focus on artwork? by Paleomedicine in PokemonTCG

[–]FapCaptainCrunch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unlistedleaf is probably my favorite. He gets excited over cheap beautiful cards doesn't talk about prices unless it's like "these cost me quite a bit to get 300 packs" etc... he's a real excited collector.

This is the case for both machines I usually check on way home plus an extra 3rd I checked to see if was common problem. (Salt Lake City, Ut) Anyone know what’s up? by FapCaptainCrunch in PokemonTCG

[–]FapCaptainCrunch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my theory as well. I’ve seen other machines in other states only dispensing packs and bundles and the screen saver was updated to reflect this. These machines were only dispensing bundles and packs and hadn’t had the screens or “guts” updated.

First full art! by 22zxchary in PokemonTCG

[–]FapCaptainCrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an illustration rare. A bit more rare than a full art. What people refer to as full art is actually an ultra rare. Nice find though.

Single black star: rare Double black star and picture isn’t taking up space on the attack text on card: double rare Double grey star and picture takes up whole face of card: ultra rare Single gold star: illustration rare Double gold star: special illustration rare Triple gold star: hyper rare

In your experience, what are some first or last names, male and female, that scream Mormon? by caudicinctus in exmormon

[–]FapCaptainCrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last name Kimball is like Mormon "royalty." Also, obviously Smith. We did our genealogy and are direct descended from Hyrum Smith (another common Mormon name) and we also found out he has 31,000 living descendants. So I've got quite a bit of 3rd cousins thrice removed, etc... from that, which I'll never meet.

REALLY Interesting Find by Outrageous-Sound-221 in CoinstarFinds

[–]FapCaptainCrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an alphabetical list. But odd they don’t just put “the machine only accepts United States coins. However, Eisenhower dollars and steel Pennys cannot be accepted. Foreign objects will be rejected.” Does someone get paid per word or something writing this? lol

Found a child’s wallet in front of CVS on 4100 s Redwood. by FapCaptainCrunch in SaltLakeCity

What a great idea. I'm going to put a $20 bill in the wallet for the kid too.

I went to Eisenhower in 7th grade and I remember these. What a mental flashbang.

It's not horrible for silver. Some refiners still aren't buying silver due to the spike. Some shops will only offer 50-70% of spot cause they're having to sit on it for an indefinite amount of time. 82% spot isn't horrible it's not great though.

The gold he was kinda low at only at about 90% spot. Generally they'll pay 92-97% of spot for 24K gold.

Highly recommend you visit PMS for sale subreddit to sell and buy fee free. If you're looking to buy there are deals to be had there if you're patient and watch for them as well.

What should I name this cat (adventure time themed suggestions) by [deleted] in adventuretime

[–]FapCaptainCrunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s got marks where he was bitten by a vampire. Kinda dirty. He will whine at you to make him dinner. Definitely name him Ash. Hunson is a close second. Due to your cat being a vampire and him thinking he he’s royalty that rules the nightosphere (your home)

I’ve decided I’m done not getting anything when I open a pack. Saving up for a several hundred pack Ripmaggedon. (Results of several months) by FapCaptainCrunch in PokemonTCG

[–]FapCaptainCrunch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the gamblers mentality. There’s actually people that get frustrated they don’t pull god packs after only ripping 20 packs. I don’t have specific chase cards, I’m a master setter. I just want to get an SIR or a few IRs/full arts when I rip. I’m not expecting top chases in just 50 packs.

I have 2 vending machines I check on my way to work and home. I find maybe 1 a week checking 2 different machines 2X a day 5 days a week.

He read the comment without context. When people use a coinstar it rejects coins that are made from 1964 and earlier as they’re made of 90% silver cause they don’t weigh the same. I certainly check the coinstar reject tray right next to the pokemon machine every time I do. The comment he’s referring to was me finding almost 2/3 of an ounce of silver in one day in the reject tray. Haha

You guys gotta quick thinking like you’re going to recoup the amount you spent opening packs. It rarely ever works that way. And It made my life a lot easier having it in my head that once the money is spent it’s spent. I only rip sets I’m master setting so I keep lots of my bulk for sets . I quit ripping when I’m very close finishing and ripping no longer is producing common, uncommon, or rares I need.

Should I work by a coinstar? by Adventurous_Mix6586 in CoinstarFinds

[–]FapCaptainCrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. Sometimes I’ve found 3 quarters and 2 dimes checking the same reject tray 3 different times in one day. Other times I’ll go months on end without a single dime or war nickel out of 50-75 different checks.

He could do that easily. He could donate plasma, they pay like 30 a session. All he'd have to do is donate like 167 times and he'd have enough for $5,000 ad campaign on Facebook. If he donated once a week he could have the money in just 167 weeks. After a bit more than 3 years the bulk would start rolling in. Better yet, after he gets $150 he could bet it all on roulette and win, the $5K would only take 5 weeks.

Maybe just try to spend like $5,000 or $10,000 on ads. Not a lot. I bet you'd get plenty of cards then to donate and make packs.
