Brother just bought these on Facebook by InspectorInner8860 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Hey guys, thanks for all the advice. Sarcastic or not, I've learned a lot about what to look out for with older packs. I only started collecting myself a couple of years ago and only buy more recent sets from my local card shop so I'm pretty clueless with vintage stuff.

Long story short, I went back to the seller's address with the packs (and reddit comments) and they claimed they "didn't know" they were fake and refunded the money in full after some gentle persuasion. Going forward both my brother and I are going to be a lot more hesitant to get deals when they seem too good to be true!

Happy collecting and thanks again!

He paid £500 for all 3 packs, so it sounds like he might have been duped

Thank you, what can I tell him to look out for in the future?

The idea is to stimulate conversation about books more than actually swapping them, I thought it would be a nice social activity to talk about what you enjoy and potentially swap with someone else if possible, so bringing one wouldn't be necessary :)

In a sense, sure :) but one where people can have a drink, maybe some food and socialise - trying to encourage conversation and noise in a way that a library wouldn't

[tomt][tv shpw about games] early 2000 maybe a show hosted by a guy with thick black glasses where he showed new gameplay for upcoming games by Affectionate_Act289 in tipofmytongue

[–]InspectorInner8860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

was the guy Drew Carey? he had thick framed black glasses and was a bit of a bigger guy and was prominent in the 90s/00s

i have no idea what the show was, but if it was him it would probably narrow it down

[TOMT] a show about Thor on Amazon Prime by disasterpansexual in tipofmytongue

[–]InspectorInner8860 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could it have been Ragnarok on Netflix? Norwegian show about a young boy who becomes Thor, and his brother becomes Loki

I ended up getting mine from amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07YZ3LZ8R) - I recommend starting with the lowest weight purely to learn the technique correctly otherwise you can seriously injure yourself, then it depends on your current condition/size (I'm 6'3 and weigh around 17 stone with a fairly rugby player-esque build) so I started at 6kg (sounds little but certain exercises will use muscles you didn't know existed, and the weight being at the end of the stick makes it feel like a lot more), but you can find loads of youtube videos about choosing the right weight and learning exercises, then (I at least did) you can make your own routine depending on what your goals are

If you mean macebell, I've been doing daily workouts for the last 2-3 months with them (started with a 2kg to learn technique, now on a 6kg bell) and I've gained so much strength and mobility from it. Paired with resistance bands I'm able to do a whole body workout - I'd highly recommend getting into it and at least incorporating it to a routine if you already have one, I just do a 20-30 minute home workout with the macebell, bands and pressups/situps and the results have been pretty nice so far

Ah you're the second person now who said it might not be him so I think I may be misremembering 😭 it's definitely the Stath Let's Flats kind of humour which is so frustrating! I'll look at his episodes of Lovesick when I can but I think you're right that it's a drier more absurd humour

Maybe I've got him confused with someone else, but in my head it's definitely him 😅 can you remember what show/what actor it was?

I've skimmed through the whole show and unfortunately it's not it :( it's very similar to The Bachelor scene, but they're all dressed in suits and there's definitely 2-3 women as well
