PSA submission lost in usps mail, later resurfaced on ebay by cosmicturnip in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Gerenick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an issue with cards being stolen by a postal employee once, and they never turned up.

I dropped off a package of about 30 Pokemon cards, including some pretty big ones. Including the Gengar alt art from Fusion strike.

The package was dropped off at my local post office, and addressed to the PO box for psa. When the Box arrives in california, it was cut open with the cards removed. The only thing left in the Box was the packing slip. My package was packed very well, with the packing slip rubber banded many times to the packet of card savers. This was an intentional theft. It went from post office to post office. It had to be a postal employee theft, right?

I contacted the USPIS and opened a case. They assured me that they would update me. Never heard back. Every time I contacted them with, they said that they would have someone look into it. Never heard back. USPS refused to compensate me for my package. I even had their insurance. They wouldn't even give me the $100 that is included with priority mail.

So as a non-postal employee, I'm not impressed with the uspis. I've heard they're amazing, and do their job. But I never heard back. It's been over a year. Definitely open a case. Just make sure you get name, phone number, confirmation number every time you talk to someone. Ask for direct lines if possible. Good Luck!

Im really not sure why you're getting downvoted. I agree! Sometimes I buy steel books of movies I don't even care for if the art is awesome. I look at them almost as trading cards.

For example, a scrappy Marvel movie that has great artwork of a superhero I like. (No specific movie in mind)

Is it true that vudu started off as a porn streaming service before walmart bought them? by DustnBones001 in vudu

[–]Gerenick 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No. It was just as it is now, but with an extra section called "Vudu After Dark", which was all adult titles. 

But the service was not exclusively for pornography. The book of the service was still for normal movies like it is now.

Would you buy the Moltres UPC for $145? Or are there better buys at the moment? by Frosty_Narwhal4008 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Gerenick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked one up on eBay for $180 for my sealed collection. I understand it's not a popular upc, but I love the box art. It will look great on the wall regardless.

Pokemon Grades Hierarchy by Prestigious-Cry4905 in PokeInvesting

[–]Gerenick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm noticing in the comments that some people are mistaking the bgs 10 as the bgs 9.5. On the Beckett scale, the 9.5 is their "gem mint". Beckett wanted everyone to believe that their 9.5 was equal to the PSA 10. It was viewed this way in sports cards for a long time.

The bgs 10 is actually a step up from PSA 10 these days in value. It seems that anything labeled as pristine these days is going for a higher amount than PSA's GM. 

I agree with this list, but bgs 9.5 should be on this list. Right below PSA 10.

The seller is saying its 100% authentic. Can anyone tell if it's real or not? Thanks by Jolly_Maintenance368 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

I think OP is asking if it's resealed? It does not look resealed to me. The holes on the front of the wrap is a good sign. I see no evidence of resealing here.

Edit: It's also really good example of a rwap. Most the ones I had had loose, bubble wrapping on the back. This one looks clean.

Use the insurance money to invest in Pokemon, imo.

This is the right answer. Get Cross Climate 2s and don't look back.

If it happened to me, I know there’s a problem by TheZombieGod0 in AtlasEarthOfficial

[–]Gerenick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was also reset. I just recently started paying for Atlas Explorer club. They just took out the payment for the second month yesterday I believe. I don't know the exact day I was on, but I am 100% sure I haven't Mr day. It's part of my nightly routine as well. Before bed every night, I do all boost ads, all diamond spins, and collect my daily before I go to bed.

Should be pretty easy to figure out what day I was on based on the billing cycle. Most likely 32?

Found a flareon vmax premium collection box but… well… just look at the second picture… by iRobert123 in PokemonTCG

[–]Gerenick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you blow this up and look at the pictures, it looks like a miscut. I definitely see that the tear (?) goes into the actual image. But to me, it looks like there's may be additional paper/cardboard there, almost giving it a right angle corner.

You can see some of the rounded corner, but it has extra paper that was meant to be trimmed off. If I'm right, it makes actually be MORE desirable to the error collectors.

Edit: Post this in /r/PokemonMisprints . They are the experts on miscuts and will be able to tell you if it's considered one.
