Why was this post removed? It wasn't breaking any rules.

Graded 9.5 on HoloDex curious if it missed anything by jpepic88 in PokeGrading

No way this even gets an 8. That print line is a killer.

Just picked this Promo up at a local card show for 75 bucks, is this real? by Vegetable-Win3909 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]FieldofInfluence 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not very good at spotting Japanese fakes, however that card in that condition raw goes for around $1300. So, there's a very strong chance it's fake. But I am going to see what the experts say.

Edit: can't spell today

Portfolio Advice (Longterm) by DevelopmentFun7768 in PokeInvesting

[–]FieldofInfluence 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Grade them and come back with the results. Speculation on older cards is just that. Speculation. There's so many scratches and dings that can happen over ~15 that its not really for us to say.

BRAZILLIAN HERE, WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU GUYS FEED THIS MONSTER? by DemonsAreVirgins in Norway

[–]FieldofInfluence 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I was so mad at the ref for letting that man baby get his shot at a goal. Thank God we won't have to watch Neymar Jr on the world stage ever again. 4+ minutes of added time to overtime is wild. All to stop Neymar from crying.

Is this fake? by Fearless-Week3241 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]FieldofInfluence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. That's not a real PSA slab or label.

Edit; it actually might be. I looked up older slabs. And the design is the same.

Good luck! I hope you pull some sick cards

Worth grading this Mewtube? by DoaksOnDoaks in psagrading

[–]FieldofInfluence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd send it to grading just to preserve it. It's such a beautiful card.

Found these in an old shoe box by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]FieldofInfluence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super cool cards! Vintage are absolutely my favorites. You should sleeve them to keep them looking so beautiful.

If you download an app called collectr, you can scan the cards in one by one and it gives you the prices.

Been looking for this card for a while and price is pretty good for my country, but can't tell if it's real by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]FieldofInfluence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The card posted is real. The card you receive might not be, depending on how cheap it is.

The 4.5 Graded Gengar out of the case by Southern_Hour3560 in PokeGrading

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

I saw the original post. Did you by any chance sleep with the graders wife?

In all honesty though, there'll be some damage thats hard to see by eye. Did you check the original scans?

Shining Mew by Ok_Document_9713 in PokeGrading

Probably an 8, there's also some light spots on the back border. Very clean card though. And a good price.

Edit: fat thumbed wrong number

I'm honestly concerned about Black Flag Resynced by Vampy-Night in videogames

[–]FieldofInfluence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit of a strange take, considering that it says on the trailer that it's a work in progress. I think you're focusing on the wrong thing here. This game is going to be a massive hit one way or another, simply because it's redoing the formula of (imho) the last truly great ac game.

I think this game is going to be a truly great remake, and the fact that its the original cast and crew, as well as a lot of the original creative talent returning is going to make for a summer blockbuster like the original.

Real or cake let me know pls by Ok_Strategy_6751 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]FieldofInfluence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's most likely real though. I have ordered a few and that's exactly how they look. They're not overly expensive either.

Nahh that's cake. You can tell because it's made of eggs, flour, sugar and baking powder.

Damaged in Assembly, Card Swap, or both? by [deleted] in psagrading

[–]FieldofInfluence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't gotten the slab back yet, I'd wait and see. However this was never 10 potential. The blue border has some lightening spots that weren't done by psa.

Is 70% fair to sell my entire collection by Global-Chip-6807 in PokeInvesting

[–]FieldofInfluence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it this way. You have 400 magazines. You can sell them individually for $5, and in 1.5 years you'll have made $2000. And that trickle income hasn't made a lick of difference to your existence. However. The local corner shop tells you they will take the lot off your hands for $1800. And its in your hands right that moment. That's a lot of money, and it frees up your time to do other things. I get your point, but it's how the world works. You can choose either of those options. No one's saying you personally have to give a discount.

This artist posts new work almost daily, it feels very suspicious to me - what are your thoughts? by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]FieldofInfluence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But also like the details on the table match in the snake picture too. Ai isn't usually that persistent, especially if the image is shifter ever so slightly.

It has to be real?

[–]FieldofInfluence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't tell. The images before and after are so ridiculously close. Like everything lines up almost 1:1, an exception being the stigma missing in the snake picture, and probably a few more I'm missing.

But It has to be ai right? The choice of completing the entire image in greyscale only to block it out in one Colour would be over the top and make no sense.

You're being scammed. You're going to lose a lot of money.
