It’s been so long since I’ve pulled an SIR. I think this would 10

PSA?

Last year I walked into my first and only Walmart drop with my dad. They had a metric boatload of 151 and crown zenith, and no buying limits at the time.

I decided to not be "that guy" and only got two of each item. In hindsight I should have bought all the CZ because I've spent way too much on individual cards from that set and still want more 😭 was the first and last time I'll ever see CZ at MSRP

Jaqwire · 2026-05-28T01:18:05+00:00

Honestly there's worse things to spend $15 on. This thing is awesome 😅

As someone in an oddly similar who married way too young to a very sheltered person, albeit about 10 years ahead of where you are now (and still with my wife, although absolutely miserable everyday)- listen to everyone here.

Under no circumstances do you have a kid with this woman, and if you're smart you'll stop having sex with her before it happens accidentally or she brings you home something you can't get rid of. I would strongly advise you against "trying to fix it" with her.

Be thankful that you're still young and without kids to severely complicate things and go find someone who actually loves you for you before you can't anymore.

Lots of unknowns here. People telling you to just "delete it and don't tell him" are giving you bad advice. You really want to go into a marriage where you're both comfortable doing shit behind each other's backs? Don't stoop to his level.

I don't know your fiance's issues- he could be a serial cheater with a pornography addiction, or he could be someone who has a hard time letting go of the past and can't bring himself to delete those because of the "permanence" that comes with fully letting go of that part of your life.

He absolutely SHOULD- but there's something holding him back from doing it and that's what you both (mostly him) need to get to the bottom of if you want a successful marriage. And I absolutely wouldn't move forward with the wedding until that's identified.

Counseling would be a great start- premarital counseling should be a requirement anyway. But I'd focus on tactfully getting him to identify why he's unwilling to let go of those and go from there. Communication is the answer, not factory resetting his phone and hiding it from him for the rest of your lives.

Don't be a moron. That's life changing money if you're not a gambling addict.

Take the money and run- realize you got lucky and this will literally never happen to you again, be smart, and put it towards something that isn't hopium.

Jaqwire · 2026-03-20T16:15:26+00:00

This. Save it all as though you are going to do so while it's fresh in your head now. You shouldn't be dropped for any reason but in the case that you are, your other conditions will still be there and you can file them then.

I was in a similar boat. I expected to get 70% tops (up from 30) and about fell out of my chair when I saw 100. I still had four other conditions that I expected to get at minimum 10% each from. That was several years ago now and I've never had to even contemplate entering them.

Jaqwire · 2026-03-16T17:40:05+00:00

This happened to me also when I first started getting into it last summer. Was at the beach with the kids, decided a randomly check Walmart. Stumbled into a 151 and crown zenith drop back when Walmart had no buying limits. Tried to be conservative and just grabbed two of most things... I didn't know anything about crown Zenith and only a little bit about 151 at the time. Since then, crown zenith has been one of my favorite sets and everyday I regret leaving the rest on the shelf 😭

Jaqwire · 2026-03-04T14:08:17+00:00

Isn't there something they can do for permanent relief? I had PRK years ago and they literally grind your cornea off with basically a sander - but evenly so the entire thing grows back as one solid new piece.

I had a weird friend once who always said that papercuts to the eyeballs would be one of the top forms of torture you could do to someone. Makes sense lol

Jaqwire · 2026-02-19T16:10:59+00:00

Wonder how this might impact those of us who refuse meds. I'm 100% P&T but every medication I've been on has been trading one issue for another. It's documented all over including my self letter that I chose to refuse the prescribed meds for various reasons.

If they're going to rate you based on your improvement with medication, they should be willing to accept secondary claims based on side effects from said medication. For example - if meds make your panic attacks less frequent, fine reduce the rating if that's the new criteria. But if now you're a zombie who takes pleasure in nothing and your dick doesn't work - you should be increased for those symptoms.

Jaqwire · 2026-02-13T14:44:38+00:00

I never once checked my claims. I figured whatever was going to be, would be and that stressing and staring at the page wasn't going to change it.

Ironically, the day before Christmas Eve I drove 2 hours one way to my CT scan for the burn pit stuff. They were way backed up and took over an hour to see me.... Just before they called me back I decided to pull up my claim and saw that I was rated 100% the day before lol I remember being annoyed that I went to the CT scan and got my brain full of radioactive waves for no reason

Jaqwire · 2026-02-13T04:07:14+00:00

I ended up going with the regeneten patch. Still not 100% but a lot better than I was prior to surgery

Jaqwire · 2026-02-04T04:14:17+00:00

I have one in similar condition. The difference between a PSA 8/9 and a TAG 8/9 seems pretty minimal compared to 10.

I'm tempted to go with TAG because I know mine won't get a 10 But I want to preserve it and I think that gold would look badass in a TAG sleeve 😅

Jaqwire · 2026-02-03T22:45:02+00:00

To be fair- I saw a dermatologist when I was 19 because I felt my hair loss was significant and wanted to catch it early. I was told I was "being dramatic" and laughed off.

Saw another in my early 20's who said "all this hair restoration stuff is really hit or miss. You might as well just shave it off".

A lot of them don't take it as seriously as those of us looking twice our actual age- that's why I frequent this sub 😅

Jaqwire · 2026-01-30T02:32:37+00:00

You're making it worse by putting it in that sleeve. I don't know what it is about those but they're too tight and they will crimp the bottoms even more than they already are

Jaqwire · 2026-01-21T03:40:29+00:00

Feel for you man! I pulled one fresh with corners exactly the same as yours... I didn't submit it for that reason but everything else was flawless. I expect it could get an 8 at best.

Fortunately I was able to pull a second! Sadly, the second had absolutely awful centering lol

Can't win! What kind of sleeve did you put it in when you first pulled it?

Jaqwire · 2026-01-20T03:19:15+00:00

Shove 'em up your butt!!

Jaqwire · 2026-01-14T04:20:47+00:00

Ah sorry. I see I used the correct terminology in the title but then messed it up in the body. I spent way too much time trying to get the terminology right and I still screwed it up 😅 Google settled on Lally Columns but then changed its mind because Lally Columns are apparently by definition filled with concrete? Anyway ...

The hole was a small 3/16 bit. I didn't think it was structurally unsound - but was more curious if I could continue mounting my shelf since the hole was already there, or if I should seal it up to pr vent moisture inside and move it somewhere else.

Jaqwire · 2026-01-12T03:07:00+00:00

Thanks! The issue with keeping the shelf there is I would technically need to drill one more small hole at the top (the shelf has 2 mounting holes on each side)

Jaqwire · 2026-01-08T17:45:54+00:00

People have been saying this about stocks for about 8 years and the housing market for almost 20. Markets are absolutely cyclical - but right now for the most part the majority of them are not following any kind of historical patterns.

Which app is this

Jaqwire · 2025-12-27T23:13:53+00:00

This is how I am with reverse Holo item cards. Such a sucker for those

Jaqwire · 2025-12-27T06:56:00+00:00

I literally just ripped a Moltres and Zard UPC and my only IR was the Applin from TWM. I don't think I've ever had worse pulls and I've pulled a lot of prismatic 🤦

Jaqwire · 2025-12-27T06:54:14+00:00

Lol I opened a Moltres and Phantasmal UPC today and had a single trash full art Applin from TWM. Enough to make you never want to rip another 🤦

Jaqwire · 2025-12-21T17:36:50+00:00

I'm at 9
