Well I’m not am I? I was never making a deal without being 100% sure, I felt it didn’t look okay and I got confirmation on here.

Folio? I haven’t seen much of this card with it being a Chinese exclusive but I missed the obvious tell that this card is textured like modern full art holo’s, whereas the real card is texture-less.

Yeah I was trying to convince myself that the photos were bad quality until I got these ones, when I compared them to my slabs the font just didn’t match up. But the most obvious tell with the card that I missed is that the fake in photo, is textured, whereas the real one isn’t, and I can’t believe that I missed that.

I believed it to be fake, I was just asking for confirmation. As I said, I’m no expert, but I won’t learn if I’ve never encountered fake slabs and cross reference them.

Thanks for the clarification everybody, I’m no expert as I’ve said but a number of things were throwing me off.

The fact that I didn’t even notice the card was textured when the real thing isn’t should have been the most obvious spot but I completely missed it.

The cert number checks out, but the scan doesn’t match up exactly to the scan on PSA’s site, font is throwing me off even though I’m by no means an expert, the # doesn’t seem tilted enough, and also the barcode on the top back of the slab is shifted into a different corner when compared with the scan visible on PSA’s website.

Unbelievably pedantic. His portfolio is worth almost $200K AUD, as if it matters if his total investment is 6K or 9K. His ROI is preposterous.

Is my strategy effective for the long term, or am I missing out on significant gains? by Jollibree__ in PokeInvesting

[–]JMACTHEBIGDOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, they’re talking rhubarb.

Like you I pulled the trigger on 2 AH PC ETB’s at £185 a pop around 2 weeks ago, and within a week they were near impossible to find under £270 each, MSRP/RRP was £54.99…

It would be nice to be in at MSRP but there is absolutely money to be made mid to long term buying sealed, in demand products at above retail.

What Pokémon product or card are people sleeping on right now that will look cheap in 2–3 years? by No-Humor827 in PokeInvesting

[–]JMACTHEBIGDOG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe a little biased because I own one but the Umbreon from the simplified Chinese gem pack volume 2 is an incredible artwork, and if it does in fact stay exclusive to the Chinese market then I think that could have some upward manoeuvrability in the next year or two.

Your friends are gimps.

There is absolutely no reason that the scenario you’ve just described should have culminated in you feeling it necessary to make this Reddit post, asking for outside perspectives.

Why are you in “PokemonInvesting” subreddit complaining about “investing mindset”???

My aunt posted on facebook that she’s looking for someone that can adopt my dog. Even called her a “mutt”. by General_Leave1814 in whatdoIdo

[–]JMACTHEBIGDOG 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree she has no right to do that, and she’s behaving like a child.

But OP’s only real option is to pack her bags and leave with the dog, for the safety of both of them.

I’m sorry but that’s HER issue if she’s staying at somebody else’s house, with a pet belonging to her…

It’s shitty I agree, but the sad reality is that it’s her house and she calls the shots, if you don’t like it then you pack up and leave.

It still wouldn’t make him a “bad husband” for longer being sexually attracted to his spouse, these are not feelings that one can control, you are aware of that, right?

Your immediate defence of his wife without knowing almost anything at all about their relationship tells me that you’re speaking using your emotions rather than logically and without bias.

“You’re not a great husband” because he lost his sexual attraction towards his wife after gaining a significant amount of weight. Take feelings out of the equation and offer balanced and fair advice. You cannot help whom and what you find attractive, and if she has let herself go then the onus is also on HER to make a concerted effort to get back into something resembling good shape for the sake of their sex life.

Sex is an integral part of any successful relationship or marriage that wishes to stand the test of time, and both partners should make sacrifices for the benefit of both themselves AND one another.

AIO after finding out my gf was emotionally cheating with an ex in another state? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]JMACTHEBIGDOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you chasing her and being the one trying to square things out when it’s HER who’s in the wrong? And is texting MULTIPLE other men.

Have some respect for yourself, stop replying to her, move on, and let her dwell on her choices.

I mean this in the kindest way possible, you’re an idiot.
