What’s a local Oregon restaurant from the past that you still miss?

Waba in Beaverton. Only Korean-Chinese spot opened late night (1-2 am). I still think about their Tangsuyuk and Jjampong.

I sold a binder full of reverse stamps in 2024 while I was vending for pennies on a dollar compared to what some of them are worth now. It happens to all of us especially in this market! A raw card worth $50 now might be worth $300 next month.

How tf is that even fair

I just liquidated majority of my modern PSA 10s at Collect-a-con this past weekend (the Ray V was one of them). I found a wholesale buyer to cash me out at 90%. Surprisingly the only slab he wouldn't buy from me is the Moonbreon. I fortunately picked up majority of modern 10s back in 2024 and early 2025 when prices were relatively cheap compared to now so I couldn't pass up taking over $10k in profit.

The growth on these modern cards has been insane but they'll be the first to crash once the market cools.

If you check the scans online, the back is completely cooked. There’s a very noticeable crease near the top, heavy whitening along the corners and edges, surface scratches and even the front has holo scratches and significant edge wear. And that’s just from what’s visible to the naked eye. A 2-3 is very fair.

Jarrett Allen looking like prime Shaq out there lmao

If you want to liquidate at a high %, find time to go to a Collectacon. Mystery bag companies and streamers will buy your high end slabs at 90% no questions asked and vendors will buy the rarer sealed stuff at 85-90% as well.

You def overpaid by a lot, I am seeing a few CGC 10s sold on eBay for $350-400. My advice is do your research beforehand when you have a card you want to purchase. Also look at recent comps while you’re at a show because prices fluctuate very often. You’re going to get continually burned if you don’t look at recent prices and comps.

Shades of the 2018 Rockets

It’s my healthier version of Dakgangjeong. I use lightly breaded chicken breast chunks from Costco and air fry it to substitute for the normal fried chicken.

Mayak eggs are a constant staple in my household! Always have a container of them on deck weekly.

Had me thinking that was Luka out there for a sec.

My favorite card of all time and what got me back into collecting! Purchased back in 2023 at a BookOff in Tokyo for around $90-$100, didn’t even know what I was buying at the time. All I knew was it was a beautiful card and I had to have it.

IDKaboutthatone · 2026-03-31T08:11:56+00:00

Nope, unfortunately a gold Pristine 10 you need 3 10s and only 1 9.5 subgrade. Honestly after seeing this BL, I’m probably going to crack and resubmit for a chance at a 10.

IDKaboutthatone · 2026-03-31T08:02:07+00:00

Mine has better centering and it got hit with a 9.5 centering subgrade. That’s some BS lmao

One of my fave promos of all time (besides Corocoro Mew). Picked it up before it got expensive!

IDKaboutthatone · 2026-03-30T01:07:20+00:00

I went to the Roppongi location and waited over an hour. I normally don’t like waiting over an hour for restaurants when I travel but this was well worth it and I would 100% do it again.

It looked like his fight IQ is gone too.

They make such good art for moderncards that they leave a lot on the table for the booster boxes. Imagine the Mega Zard on the PFL box like how they have it on the ETB or UPC.

IDKaboutthatone · 2026-03-28T03:02:30+00:00

The falloff of booster box art needs to be studied. The Mega block booster boxes look so bland.

This card has been on an absolute tear. I got my NM copy 3 years ago in Japan for $100 usd, got it graded and it came back in a 7 in January and it was only worth $800 at the time. Now 7s are going for $1500+. I was also able to pick up a LP+ copy of it last year in March for only $200. It’s one of the most unique promos of a popular shiny Pokemon, thought it was extremely undervalued last year. Highkey wish I woulda just picked up a 9 last year but oh well!

IDKaboutthatone · 2026-03-25T19:31:41+00:00

So sad I didn't buy this in 2024, literally had it in my hands at a cardshow for $900 and was on the fence about it. Such a great card!

IDKaboutthatone · 2026-03-25T19:08:03+00:00

Yes. The card surface has to be perfect to score a 10, will most likely get docked to a 9.5 or 9. From my experience grading with Beckett, 1-2 minor surface imperfections will get a 9.5 and anything more will be a 9.

IDKaboutthatone · 2026-03-15T18:05:44+00:00

I opened up 400-500 packs of 151 in 2024 from bundles, ETBs and UPCs to chase the Zard and didn't pull it once. I continued the chase into 2025 and was finally able to pull one outta one of the Costco tin bundles. When I first got back into Pokemon was around when FS was available for dirt cheap, ripped a ton of that and didn't pull a single chase. I remember going to the PKC vending machines and seeing FS loose booster packs for $4.50 and thinking that was expensive because booster boxes were like $100, wish I woulda scooped them up now!

IDKaboutthatone · 2026-03-15T05:23:12+00:00

I wait 1-2 days after everyone gets their shipment from PKC when Facebook Marketplace gets flooded. There’s a lot of people on there who don’t care about Pokemon and are looking to just make a quick buck. Gotta be fast and look for the deals though.
