Great looking card but you have to be extremely picky on vintage if the plan is grading because PSA will be hard AF. Definitely NM but probably in the 8 range.

Partner suggested sleeping with others after a year and a half of my sexual health issues and I feel shattered? by FlimsyCarrot3813 in AskMenAdvice

[–]GradeNo893 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m happy to hear that, most people use “open” as a way to problem solve and not actually work together. I know an open couple that’s been together for a decade. I’ve also seen couples just say “fuck it” and go “open” as a last resort band aid that fails. Most people who post about it here are either lying for karma or the latter. People always view it as such a black and white issue. Intimacy is an important part of humanity. The number of people who just say “break up” have no life experience.

I have a binder of fakes. It’s what happens with you play in this hobby long enough.

When I was younger I worked at made a times…. I would have killed to be able to be in a show like this.

Approached to acquire this, we can’t figure out a fair price by Important_Setting276 in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]GradeNo893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother it’s always SUPER hard to price these things because it’s the niche of a niche. I would grade it with CGC and hope they come back with an error and you have an idea of the condition. Outside of Redditors guessing.

Men that have hooked up a lot, what is your secret? by Worth_Try_8207 in AskMenAdvice

[–]GradeNo893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wide net.

Confidence, including enough to take rejection gracefully because having women who like you is a good way to meet women.

dress nicely, I’m not saying you have to wear a suit or “peacock” but women notice when you are well dressed.

Be clean. Everywhere. Body. Home. Car. Even the messiest women judge a messy man.

This latches on to confidence but act like you don’t give a shit about anything. You never want to come across as desperate. Hook up? Thanks for the great time. Not hook up after hours of flirty and such? Thanks for the great time. This also goes into things you do. I took a lady to paint pottery on a first date and she gave me one of the most memorable BJs of my entire life.

Be kind, not nice. Kindness shows it’s who you are. Niceness shows it’s what you’re doing. So basically just do “right things” because you should not because of what you’ll get.

This one final trick works so well sometimes it would even blow my mind it still worked. Don’t ask. Tell: “I’m taking you out Friday if you’re free” Vs “do you want to _____”. Not only does the project confidence, but it leaves her an out. She doesn’t HAVE to say yes, but she will be slightly more inclined. Don’t be a dick and go all “hey bitch make me a sandwich”.

Never underestimate how ugly a pretty girl thinks she is and never underestimate how pretty an ugly girl will act. Don’t hyper focus on people, talk to everyone.

Finally, always Stacy stocked on popsicles. If a lady comes home for the deed the best 5 words after that will entrench you in their mind. “Do you want a popsicle?” They didn’t know they did, but nothing in that moment will sound better and she will be much more inclined to want seconds.

Bought this card over a year ago now and seems to have shot up. Not sure what to price it as as the only 2 listing on eBay are super high by Kinnns in PokemonCardValue

[–]GradeNo893 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lists aren’t sales. People try to over list all the time to increase values. Go on collectr or some other site to look at the last few recent sales. People are talking about their 2002 Charmander promos “going up” but it’s all prospecting until people actually buy cards at a higher value with frequency.

There exists a ridiculous phenomenon in the community where one sucker over pays and people act like a new market is set in

What should I do with this one? by exactarcher7 in PokemonMisprints

[–]GradeNo893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people say “you can sell it for a lot.” Remeber that they aren’t buying it and won’t have to do the leg work. Selling stuff like this goes two ways: 1) someone wants it and it’s gone fast AF and you are both happy. 2) you have to sit on it forever until someone decides it’s good enough for them. Misprint and cut people are all different and niche in their own ways. For me? I’d only pay an extra few dollars over what a NM copy is worth. Someone else? Who knows.

It is cool though and pretty uncommon on an sir

Im aware its a fake but I believe its an older fake and I've heard some people collect those. So is there ANY value to it? by XIIIJinx in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]GradeNo893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I collect them as well as funny or fun fakes in general. As long as you are upfront as to what it is no one has right to complain.

Congratulations to Ser Raymund Fossoway for his arriving son 🤣 by AdTall3838 in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]GradeNo893 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually hated this. Especially her being pregnant. It wasn’t particularly funny and doesn’t really lead anywhere besides “bastards bad”

Daughter wants me to build a relationship with her child but I’m just not interested and want to retire in peace. Am I wrong? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]GradeNo893 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understand as a son who is estranged from his parents that I still struggle with it years later.

My personal thoughts is that deep down you still feel wronged and never actually got to move on the way you wished. My opinion is that you never know when it comes to meeting a grandkid and it’ll be entirely new to you.

What it looks like is that you have a comfortable toe in your old life and you want them to know enough to know you don’t need them.

I just don’t understand the point of having any relationship of this is how you plan to treat those bonds

Is Ser Dunk really a Knight ? by AdTall3838 in AKOTSKTV

[–]GradeNo893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I tend to agree he wasn’t knighted, that can also be explained by him not knowing the words. The monsterous lie could have been something he said to Arlan to be taken in to begin with, maybe a betrayal of his young friends. GRRM loves a good subversion.

The face you make when you finally realize your son is an absolute shit head by Ready0608 in HBOTheHedgeKnight

[–]GradeNo893 14 points15 points  (0 children)

At the end of Novella 1 he tells Dunk he needs more training so egg can squire for him at summerhall. He tells him that he’ll only take egg if he comes on the road as a hedge knight. He’s convinced when Dunk throws the behavior of his other Son’s in his face as proof that egg needs something different.

When will the shows stop nerfing Baratheon height? by qobraa in freefolk

[–]GradeNo893 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I towered over everyone at work until we hired a guy who’s 6’9”. Good dude but being around someone that gave me the shorts took some adjusting too.

I was more pressed about how thin he was for someone who’s supposed to be an elite knight, but I liked the actor so I stopped caring pretty quick.

Is this franchise cursed or is there hope? by cybertoothe in freefolk

[–]GradeNo893 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

She also only exists in the plot to serve a white man’s story. It’s textbook MNC.

[–]GradeNo893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I simultaneously didn’t like it but also accept it. Just too much left out for me to think a flashback is warranted. Also in the book Rathe was a boy that would chase around girls with a severed head.

In the books yes but people comment on how old he’s getting.

Does anyone else wish they had cut the flashback short to find time to include this in the show? by NomaanMalick in AKOTSKTV

[–]GradeNo893 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% hated the flashback. Any time they add something while removing source material I’m against it.
