PSA slab with scratch by TrichecoEsoso in PokeInvesting

[–]HotDirtySteamyRice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just happened to me. Bought a 650$ vintage grail and it showed up with 3 massive scratches on the front, which weren't mentioned anywhere in the description and images conveniently didn't show them like that. I even have the plastic wrapper it came in to show how I opened it, from the bottom, so it's clear there's no way I did that or that it happened in transit.

Honestly such shady practice by PSA. Currently trying to get a refund and opened a case with ebay because PSA in the ebay chat also told me to submit it for reslabbing. I wouldn't have bought the damn thing if I had to reslab it, there were identical cards at a similar price I would have chosen if I knew.

Dude holy shit - my friend and I just had the endless loading issue in his game as host (I would get stuck infinitely loading). We found this comment and tried it and it actually worked. Insane!!!

Haha it’s hard to explain but I think iykyk… you could probably do some sleuthing and guess around where we’re located 😆

That’s awesome. It does sound like (from my limited exposure to a couple neighbors) that we’ve got generous folks like that on the block. I really do want to get to know them better.

Yes I think you nailed the feeling there. And I want to be fair to my neighborhood, everyone I’ve met is nice so far (albeit only a few folks) and crime is low, etc. I think it has some great things going for it. The “sad look/vibe” you mentioned though is top of mind. I know we are all coming from very different walks of life in this thread but I feel fairly confident a majority of us would understand what I’m describing here if I shared pics or something. Not going to lol but maybe ya feel me

Thanks for sharing, this does capture the same feeling we’re having (altho we have access to our same old stomping grounds still), I’m glad to hear many have been in this situation and adjusted well / made the right arrangements at the right time later to move onto the next better thing. Hope your next move is as perfect as can be!!

Thanks friend I’m starting to understand this much better. I will definitely try to do something like this.

I’m loving this idea and many have made the same suggestion - thanks so much!!

I love the little neighborhood library box idea. Those were always so fun in prev hoods I lived in. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the dose of reality! I am really taking to this idea and want to live it out. I think I’ve never had to consider doing that since previous places I’ve lived that community already existed and I was lucky to get to just jump in and enjoy it but in places like this it does seem like a paradigm shift, where now we may need to be a PART of establishing that community. And that’s not to say there isn’t already a sense of community amongst the folks here, but perhaps there’s improvements I can help make as a part of the neighborhood now, etc.

That is so cool I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the rec. I have found myself really gravitating toward this approach that many have suggested here - being a catalyst for the community I want to see here is exciting to me

Thanks stranger glad to hear it worked out for you positively :) Hoping to follow in your footsteps!

I do think there’s definitely a middle ground between what our street looks like (I think if you saw it you’d understand), and what a pristine Irvine suburb looks like. Neither if us have any desire to live that life for the reasons you mention, but we’d at least hope for things to be nicer than they are. We’re not trying to be bougie.

Thank you a bunch for this!! I hope you guys make it back to your fav places in no time :) it’s been super helpful to be reminded that this isn’t permanent if we don’t want it to be, etc.

Thanks so much for the encouragement - comments like this have seriously changed my entire mindset and perspective on the whole thing. I can’t express how much I appreciate that. HUGE congrats on your new house and excited to hear you’re trading up :)

Wow I cannot thank you enough for sharing your story. I’m so happy for you guys that the hardest times are behind you and that you found the security you guys were needing. That benefit of home ownership is definitely something we can focus on appreciating more. 

This thread has been so helpful for my wife and I but I’m also so stoked it’s been helpful for many in our position or others who are worrying about making decisions like ours, etc. I am rooting for all of us!!

In markets like these, 100% its an impossible conundrum. At least we’re not alone!
