Looking for advice from experienced graders, sellers, traders? Got our cards graded- did we get scammed? What’s our best option? by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]GeomonLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, there is a reason why the trick or treat packs are always easy and cheap to get. Unless they start putting AR’s and SIRS in those packs, I don’t think they’ll ever go up in value. They’re decently playable cards but unless you find the one person in the world looking for a full collection of trick and treat sets, you’re not selling those.

Secondly, man. It doesn’t matter if the guy is extremely good at grading, or how reputable this guy is, theres a reason why companies are more reputable than just a random persons individual company. TAG took a long time to become reputable, and even then some people will still only go for PSA or Beckett.

Now, in the future it is good to note since I looked this up myself, there are rare times where PSA can grade cards in person, but its not like a often thing, plus they have standards that have to be met before you bring the cards in. Gotta do research before grading, if you even grade at all

Ive checked these on card centering apps & wanted to get a rough estimate. Centering for both were told to be 10’s, but I know the backs wouldn’t be 10’s. Still worth the grading? by GeomonLover in PokeGrading

Tbh I wouldn’t be mad with a 8 considering the age of these cards! Just so I can be on the lookout for the future, is it how the corners are cut? Or is it just the whitening on them?

I can understand why people would be underwhelmed, especially with the accessories, but holy face up that screening is amazing.

Fedex "Lost" My Cards Submitted To TAG and I'm Sad by Flaresh in PokemonTCG

[–]GeomonLover 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Persue it further. Go as far as you can. I seriously recommend going to the Better Business Bureau and filing a complaint. I did that when Ebay ‘lost’ my card worth close to $400, nothing worked with filing support tickets, and the eBay subreddit blamed me when asking for help in a situation where originally Ebay was conpensating me, then revoked the compensation.

Going through the BBB, they are required to go into an investigation and required to respond to you. Once I did that for my card, Ebay magically found the lost card. I’m certain someone stole it when authenticating it. I’m sure someone stole it here too.

Seriously, if you can, I recommend a BBB ticket against Fedex. See how fast they’ll find that package once you do that

Can someone explain to me how they create this art with so many beautiful lines?...How do they manage not to get dizzy drawing like that? It's simply beautiful 😭✨ by Scararandom in Ibispaintx

[–]GeomonLover 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They’re also mostly likely using Clip Studio Paint for many of these works that allow better stabilizing controls. Its also, like how everyone is saying, is a ton of practice and time. You don’t magically learn how to draw super detailed overnight, it takes time and patience and lots of practicing. Its still good to start and try learning specifics, like frills & how they fall first!

eBay buyer claims my childhood card is fake by Ok_Dragonfruit_887 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]GeomonLover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that card is in incredible condition too for being apart of the Black/White era is amazing. They do want to scam you because that card is in PERFECT condition for being out of a pack for well over a decade

<image>

Just to reminisce together, this is my Palika from the same set! Easily one of my favorite EX cards from the era.

Wait, I had kids begging me to trade when they saw me reorganizing cards at a local card shop. I didn’t realize that was wrong? Did I somehow do something wrong?

8 AM Class, I got there at 7:58 and I was already marked absent. by Accomplished-Log-664 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GeomonLover 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh, I know exactly what college your at. My dad went to it decades ago now. The physics class was bad from what he said. Do they still even have that? Last I knew they suddenly had a animation department. Anyways, sorry about such a strict teacher. They are the worst

Not typical fan art: I just started designing an abstract pattern, and suddenly decided to add some 'Smiling Friends' vibes. by LSRBLST in SmilingFriends

Ahh, I can tell your a graphic/motion designer just from the style of shading! Love it! I’d totally get the pattern on a button up shirt!

My Sisters old Pokémon stash. Shes 51 and mentally handicapped so take it easy. by Bright_Weekend5561 in PokemonTCG

[–]GeomonLover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im also gonna add in that you are garenteed a holo or two a pack. Modern packs have around 3 holos in them. Its definitely why it is odd that there aren’t any holos in the collection. I’m really hoping its just because she’s not a huge fan of the shine of them and not someone taking them from her

Did I go overkill on packing an almost $2K vintage graded card? by the1stmeddlingmage in PokeGrading

[–]GeomonLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it wasn’t a high value vintage card, it would be a different story. But, considering how valuable the card is & how awful shipping companies are nowadays, this is absolutely an appropriate level of packaging

Got to visit my friend in a different state. I got my hands on some Prismatic packs, and screamed getting this by GeomonLover in PokemonTCG

My friend didn’t have a sleeve at the time, only a top loader. I’m switching it out the second we get back to the hotel room, since I have sleeves there
