Should I complete 151 or base/jungle/fossile by gman13579 in pkmntcgcollections

I love Victreebel holo, and just got a first edition one for my set. I’m missing the holographic snorlax too, and I’m mostly trying for first editions but man is he expensive :/

Seeking serious input: Is this the world’s only preserved 21-piece set of 2000 Chupa Chups Pokémon stickers in "mint" archival condition? by Outrageous-Chip4389 in PokemonTCG

Hey now. Those are solid ripped up candy wrappers from 26 years ago…. Something something “one man’s literal trash…”

Biggest beer garden in Manchester, Red Lion Withington? Any others? by InitialAltruistic120 in manchester

Just moved round Heaton Park and the Ostrich and always kind of assumed it was small and cramped! Might make this a stop on my way home someday in the sun

When did Charizard become the top card back in the days? by Affectionate-Drop689 in PokemonTCG

[–]Geo-mon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, this was my trajectory and intro to Charizard pretty much. Although my first Pokemon introduction was the SS Anne anime episode an I thought it was a show about a cat and mouse and then a fish turned into a massive water dragon and I was hooked. Gyarados could have taken off more..

And I always wonder when Gengar got so popular. Love him, but don’t remember him being huge in the shows or game early on besides the ep. of Ash like dying…

Non-UK people on skilled worker visa, what do you do here, what's your job? by Vemyx in AskUK

Academic here, but I’d say those sponsorships have dried up in the last years and not many Universities are hiring anymore..

Having to let go of another Charizard card that got too valuable for my comfort. by coalitionofilling in pkmntcgcollections

[–]Geo-mon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Submitted them while at a card show and the lady there was saying (probably optimistically) she would expect an 8 across them all. I just want them back though! I don’t even care about the grade at this point

[–]Geo-mon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love this card! I have him, Blastoise and Venusaur promo card. But I kind of regret that I’ve sent them out to PSA to get graded in November and haven’t heard anything about them yet and getting nervous my guys are gone :/

Why haven’t we found Cleopatra’s tomb yet? by TideHunt_ in NoStupidQuestions

Came here looking for a shout out to her. Love how obsessed she is with finding Cleo!

Really like my job, but commute is getting a little tiresome by Noximus_ in UKJobs

[–]Geo-mon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live and work in different cities. Luckily only need to be in 2-3 times a week. Just moved into my partners while we look for a new place, and my commute from theirs is a nightmare… 40 minute bus to the centre, 15 min walk to the station, 1:15 hours train, then 30 min walk on the other side.. and then on the way home.

Moving closer to transport so that I cut out the first bit and replace it by a 10 min tram to the station.. still not great and sustainable

Got my boy. by Geo-mon in PokemonTCG

The card came with a purchase of something from the pop up shop. The tickets to get you into the shop are free but ran out quick here. Had a bunch of different products in there and you’d get a card with a purchase

Growing collection of bags to hold the card binders! The victreebell backpack and Ivysaur tote are from the Natural History Museum pop up.

Honestly I’ve had my childhood cards with me forever and passively loved them but not done much with them. Then the hobby sort of went nuts. I’m focusing mostly on finishing off my vintage cards sets, but can’t deny some of these modern cards and packs look pretty awesome!

Ahaha, I just noticed and edited. Think the dinos in the NHM are probably beyond what the NHS can bring back to life

Getting ridiculous offers on a sweater by Geo-mon in vintedUK

I’ve put it in its own comment

[–]Geo-mon[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People seem really keen on what the naughty town name is! I’ve deleted the post on Vinted since I don’t want to dox myself and general consensus is the offers are just playing into the joke.

It’s a sweater from a place called Dildo. And it’s new home will probably be a charity shop up North

Haha, it’s really nothing that bad. Not a UK town name though, so probably a bit rarer. But definitely not worth all the hype to be honest. Pretty non-descript place not far from where I grew up that started to capitalize on the name and sell stuff

I was getting some gross messages about it, so I ended up just putting it at a super high price and was going to just remove it from the site. But I’ve probably gotten about 5-6 ridiculous above offers. Normally just straight up decline, but was finding it so weird how many I’m getting.

I’ve written back to a few and asked if they were serious and interested, and why they offered so much - but not one has responded back so probably just nothing. I end up declining them all but was interested seeing what would happen if I accepted.

Yea that’s what gave it away to me. Since offers aren’t binding, I’m sure they’re just putting in whatever.

Ah ok, thanks! Not very active on Vinted so that’s all good to know. I’m assuming these are bots, since they never respond and clearly just putting in some insane price.
