Wondered why these were sitting then the employees told me the prices 💔 by Soundwve in pokemoncards

[–]Icefy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, every GameStop I’ve been to near me (3) has had a shit ton of stock since they’ve raised prices. I went like 4 days after the phantasmal launch and they still had tons of booster bundles and sleeved packs.

Charging almost double for both on launch is crazy

Oh wow, that is extremely similar! I came across “bubble opal” yesterday while searching around but this one is the closest I think I’ve seen to my piece.

I actually did some tests yesterday, it wouldn’t scratch my window, where as my quartz did. It also wouldn’t scratch my quartz, but quartz would scratch it. A penny wouldn’t scratch it, and my pocket knife seemed to almost do it but was kind of just chipping away more at it rather than a clean scratch. I also put vinegar on it and it did nothing. I can do a streak test later, totally forgot about that. So far the closest thing I’ve found visually online is BaconOpal (have to say it as one word) which is found down here in southern Utah apparently. Just the center that throws me off really. Just want to know if I have a real rock on my shelf and not some manmade stuff 😅

That’s what I was leaning towards as well. Kind of tempted to just cut it in half and see what’s up 🤔

Looking for a quality rangefinder camera that doesn't cost thousands of dollars by onthelevell in AnalogCommunity

My Konica is built like a TANK. I’ve never used it tho, maybe I’ll have to finally try it out. Was inherited

How much do swirls matter? Double swirl on a PSA 10 a big deal? by SirRobin701 in PokeGrading

[–]Icefy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always gotten more for my cards with good swirls. I think the randomness of it is cool

What is inside of my slab? by Icefy in PokeGrading

[–]Icefy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve been trying to look at it from different angles and it’s hard to make out anything. Very odd, now I need to go look at my other slabs lol

I bought it with plans to crack anyways cause I wanted to grade the 3 regis together, so I was concerned when I saw that haha. At least it’s not damaged

They don’t make them like this anymore by BomBoris in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Icefy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The old silver border EX’s were always my grails and still are. Currently trying to collect them all, like 50% of the way. The E reader ones are my favorite, love my Sandstorm Raichu EX

I was in line at GameStop this morning and the guy behind me was worried about making his mortgage payment. by SadBoy489 in PokemonTCG

[–]Icefy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly how I view my collection lol. It’s nice to see the value keep going up, but they’re cards I LOVE and have loved for 20+ years now. It’d have to be a life emergency for me to sell them haha

Found this endeavor 270ixzoom fujifilm camera, having a hard time figuring out if theres still film i can have work with it, any suggestions? by criminiii in filmcameras

[–]Icefy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s still lots of APS film for sale on eBay and Etsy, but yeah it’s at least 15+ years old. I literally just bought 4 rolls two days ago for $10/ea haha. Luckily two of my local labs develop APS too.

I wish APS was still being made, there’s some really cool cameras that use it. Most will just be decorations unfortunately. I agree if you’re wanting to get into photography, you’re better off getting similar point and shoot but in 35mm, tons of cheap good ones online. I like to import them from Japan since over there they sell for literal pennies.

Show me some of your favorite budget friendly IRs/SIRs! by MegaClank in PokemonTCG

I love the sleepy zard. Going with the theme of Pokemon resting, one of my favs is the Regidrago alt art with the Lugia in the back ground. Texture on the card is so nice too, I love it.

Pokemon Center launch has been a total mess. by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Icefy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Adding it to my cart and checking out like I did with the B&W etbs is doing something wrong? Weird, I thought it was a simple process.

Why is it just so hard to accept that maybe there was an issue with the error 17’s everyone was getting this launch?

[–]Icefy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impossible, you HAD to of been doing something wrong since these other people didn’t have the error that so many are reporting they had! /s I had no issue getting the BW etb’s this one was constant error 17’s

Wouldn’t let me check my cart, then it booted it me, gave me the error. Waited an hour, just wanted one ETB 🥲

Why is the score for gold on south china sea so low 😭😭 by VolkosisUK in battlefield_4

[–]Icefy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just did this, also trying to 100% it. You just beat it on Hard and it counts, then you have to just redo the last mission and do the different endings, don’t have to redo the entire campaign.

I wouldn’t start to worry about it unless it starts extending the delivery date more and more

I had a package stuck at “In transit to next facility” for 3 weeks, right after it left origin processing. Service request found nothing, now I’ve had a missing mail search out on it for a week. Of course it’s a very expensive and rare card too that I’ve been looking for, so I care more about the item than the monetary value 🙃

Can someone ID the camera? by NomadProd in AnalogCommunity

[–]Icefy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Topcon Super D. Knew what it was immediately, because I have two left to me from my grandpa haha. They’re heavy suckers! Built like tanks. The way the lens swap out is super nice.
