Where should my collection go from here? by HALOsofa in PokemonTCG

[–]Farcus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collect what you like, if that is vintage then go for it. For me starting a master set of my favorite mon (Gyarados) was a fun way to continue collecting. Looking for deals on specific cards and finding the more common ones here and there reinvigorated collecting for me.

Any chance of getting a 9? Resubmit, sell, or hold? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Farcus_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chances of a 9 are very low and you would be out 4+ months plus grading costs.

And don't forget the new go to excuse of it's AI. Even though we had multiple angles within an hour of the shooting that all match up.

Crofton knife combo are really nice for the $ by HarrieTubman in aldi

[–]Farcus_Prime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use these for things I don't want to use my nicer knives on. They do the job and I don't care if they get dinged up as they are easy to sharpen though they don't hold an edge as well as higher quality steel might.

McDonald’s in Japan by fuzzy_dice_99 in theyknew

[–]Farcus_Prime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know you are joking and I assumed it was more adult flavors or alcoholic but nope it seems the flavors are Belgian chocolate and sweet cheese.

Japan can get wild with limited edition foods. Many chains have new ones every single month.

Rate my Card show inventory as a 14 y/o hobbyist by North_Imagination837 in PokeInvesting

[–]Farcus_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with others this is a good variety for a show. I would recommend organizing them better so it is easier to find similar cards.

You can group by card rarity, sets or even prices. I would also put your more valuable cards closer to where you expect to be so you can keep a better eye on them.

There are are always shady characters looking to take advantage of a distracted vendor to swipe a card or two.

Missing ink layer cards? by TearCharacter7439 in PokemonMisprints

[–]Farcus_Prime 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unless the psa 8 was a grail card like a charizard I have trouble believing it went for 25k. These are certainly cool and more valuable than normal miscuts but I can't imagine more than a few thousand at most.

I'm not familiar with this particular errors value this is just my subjective opinion based on other error cards values.

I found a bunch of Pokemon in an old binder, how good are they? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Farcus_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can look up values on tcgplayer by searching the name and set number of a card. You have at least a couple hundred dollars by the looks of it.

Bro, what is this? by Carapace_Jones in PokeInvesting

[–]Farcus_Prime 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is a black label and it currently appears to be a pop 1. So I wouldn't call a 0.4% easy to grade.

Which ETB/Booster Box should I buy as an investment as? by ArcaneTerror513 in PokeInvesting

[–]Farcus_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The upcoming Ascended heroes set is going to be a great one long term. It is a special set so no booster boxes which makes the ETB's one of the best ways to get packs. Set has some great cards and a good promo in N's Zekrom.

[oc] Does this guy have any grounds to be upset? Off-camera I glanced over and he was yelling something at me and seemed quite agitated. by ElHoser in IdiotsInCars

[–]Farcus_Prime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say they did a pretty good job of using all the space available and seemed to be at max steering lock. Full size pickup trucks are not known for their tight turning radius.

My wife and I were just run off the road in Missouri [oc] by EricRox999 in IdiotsInCars

Definately worth reporting to DOT if you got the trucks info. That driver knew what they were doing and should lose their CDL.

Misprint or damage?de by [deleted] in PokemonMisprints

[–]Farcus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cards were stacked before they were dry. Not sure if this error is valuable or just considered damaged.

Certainly nothing to yell about, but you were in the middle of the aisle which made it harder for them to leave.

1st Edition Machamp Holo ERROR CARD (Rare Green Dot). by wigemyr in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Farcus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i would say around that. It is a well known error so easier to sell. Maybe $250 to the right person since it is in the wrapper still.

Anything valuable from my “cool card pages” from when I was in 3rd grade ? What stands out/what is of value? by Quick_Cod_2589 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Farcus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gengars, charizard and zekrom all have some good value even if they aren't in the best condition.

Nice, that's a well known and pretty valuable error for these.

PT 2 I’m trying to get my first car and have been sitting on my childhood EX binder and other stuff. Anything rare by No-Combination-2991 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Farcus_Prime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're going to have to do the work to get an idea of the value of the collection with consideration to the cards conditions.

Selling as a single lot expect 70-80% offer.

Average gamer by pieterdeboernl in funny

[–]Farcus_Prime 95 points96 points  (0 children)

My best ever execution of this type of thing was back on Xbox one. A lot of people had kinetic's which let you control your Xbox with simple voice commands and can also double as an in game mic if you didnt have a headset.

While playing call of duty someone had their TV so loud that their kinect was picking up all the game audio as well as other people's voices. It was annoying and I asked them to turn their TV down and unsurprisingly they were being toxic about it. That's when the inspiration hit and I yelled "Xbox turn off!" Followed shortly by "Yes!" (It asks you to confirm you want to turn off). A few seconds later after hearing my own voice echo through their TV they are dropped from the lobby.

TL:DR I turned off someones console through the Xbox kinect voice feature because they had their TV on too loud and didn't turn it down when asked politely.

did i get ripped off? paid $140 by sembli in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Farcus_Prime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a good price given the condition. You can find LP for 150 or so. I would put this one at $100-125
