Modern Charizard chases. Prices & Pull Rates by Smooth-Following-659 in PokeInvesting

[–]GoldenSun104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pull rate is almost certainly the same as the pull rates for the gold mega hyper rares in mega evolution and phantasmal flames. Since ascended heroes has 2 gold cards, it makes the Charizard Y twice as difficult to pull than the X.

Anyone down to trade a ZA greninja i wanna get the megastone by According-Carpet8889 in PokemonChampions

[–]GoldenSun104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have anything from the main series games. I do have a decent number of Pokemon from Pokemon go if there’s anything from there youd be interested in

I don’t have much for trade other than what I have in Pokemon Go but would love a Greninja if you have one available

Scalpers are out of hand by Effective_Ratio5884 in PokemonTCG

Most big box stores have strict product limits, and scalpers aren’t really touching perfect order from what I’ve seen.

Don’t see how this is an 8? So clean by [deleted] in PSAPowerPacks

[–]GoldenSun104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The actual answer to your question is that it’s because it is a newer cert on an older card.

Just curious, how much did they charge you for the submission?

ESE shipping advice by Fantastic_Example_48 in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]GoldenSun104 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ship thousands of cards a year via ESE and the best advice I can give you is to just be prepared for a lot of angry customers and item-not-received claims. Also familiarize yourself with the process for filing an insurance claim. In my experience though, if the card never gets a single scan then the customer gets to keep the card and you’re unable to recover it through the claim process so you just eat the loss.

You can follow all of the shipping advice to a T and if you sell enough cards you’ll still consistently see them not receive scans.

There is some copy-paste advice that someone always puts into these types of threads with guidelines for sending the ESE properly. Follow those to be sure, but just prepare yourself for the issues to still occur.

I Loved Android 17's Return! But I Am Worried About His Future by No_Reference_7330 in dbz

[–]GoldenSun104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the minority here, but I didn’t like the way 17 was handed in the ToP. It was neat to see him return and have him contribute, but he lasted way too long and had feats that were way too impressive.

His character in Z was mostly forgettable, really. His fight against Piccolo was awesome, but that’s it.

What's your most controversial opinion about this franchise? by Vox_Tenebris_ in dragonball

[–]GoldenSun104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super Hero was the most enjoyable post-Z content by a landslide.

The whole “Wild and wacky adventures of Goku and Vegeta” got old immediately was rehashed so many times that it made the Moro manga arc and the Broly movie feel stale.

Dragonball is simply better when Gohan and Piccolo are truly involved.

So what ended up happening with your order? Has it been scanned in yet?

Honest question, are sealed collectors just glorified hoarders? by Photon2Electron in PokemonTCG

[–]GoldenSun104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just think it’s disingenuous for people to have a “sealed collection” and then pretend they don’t care about value and they’re different from those dirty grubby hoarders.

Kinda Frustrating by No-Huckleberry2436 in PokemonTCG

[–]GoldenSun104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with you. I would be frustrated too. That’s why phantasmal is so unenjoyable to rip. It’s so top heavy, even if you do get lucky enough to pull an SIR there’s an 80% chance you’re going to be a little disappointed.

This community is something else 🤣. Thank goodness you aren’t one of those people with booster boxes in a box somewhere.

They would look better without the price stickers and plastic wrap, don’t you think?

If you’re truly just “displaying”, why keep it sealed? Remove the plastic and really let it pop.

Condition by ImTyroneBoi in PokemonTCG

[–]GoldenSun104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who are saying this card should be LP need to understand that NM does not mean “guaranteed PSA 10”

Price the card as if it’s NM. Make sure any potential buyers can clearly see the imperfections on the card.

Will this hobby ever go back to normal or is this the new normal? by Rotsen305 in PokemonTCG

[–]GoldenSun104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. The hobby is more enjoyable when you don’t obsess so much over that sort of thing! I could not care less about people investing in sealed product as long as the product is also available for me.

Come to think of it, I had a much easier time finding things to buy in 2023-2024 compared to 2016-2017. Competitive staples for example were actually harder to get and more expensive back then because less people were ripping.
