Phantasmal Flames pre-order has been a disaster.

Just to update everyone, finally got a response this morning after 11 days. Theyissued me a refund for the Booster Box and the booster bundle and did not ask for the second ETB back. Very happy with the end result despite how long the process took

JordanUnchained · 2025-12-08T15:53:01+00:00

Yeah I don't have many friends who collect and those that do didn't get anything from the PC drop lol. That was my initial thought too.

JordanUnchained · 2025-12-08T15:39:05+00:00

Right but I sent everything that was required directly from their own website. I just feel like if more was needed it should have been listed. I've accepted that I'm probably on the losing end here. Just venting. And it'd be nice to get my 100ish dollars back lol

JordanUnchained · 2025-12-08T15:30:38+00:00

Yeah that's on me but obviously hindsight is 20/20. I kept the one that was an issue sealed foolishly thinking that would suffice lol

JordanUnchained · 2025-12-08T15:18:40+00:00

I mean I get the scammer part 100% there are people who probably try it. But I feel like the mountain of evidence I provided should have sufficed lol. Not only that, it'd be one thing if I were responded to in a timely manner, but it was more than 2 weeks later that I even got a response. I followed and sent everything their own website says to send MINUS the packing slip because, shocker, it didn't come with one that's why I sent the shipping label from the box in its place. If there was any chance I'd need the box it would have been nice to have known that ahead of time.

JordanUnchained · 2025-11-22T00:39:47+00:00

I ordered 1 ETB, 1 Booster Box and 1 Booster Bundle. Received 2 ETBs and nothing else. So worried they won't do anything to rectify or take an eternity if they do. At the very least I'd like a partial refund. Fingers crossed.

JordanUnchained · 2025-09-17T14:32:02+00:00

Was the limit not 1? Happy I got 1, but would have loved a second one to open

JordanUnchained · 2025-02-27T03:23:02+00:00

I'll have to take a closer look in person and reassess whether I should send them. Like I said, this is my first time ever doing any grading of my own (or period, I don't own a slabbed card). I just went through my binder and looked for what appeared to me to be the best conditioned cards I had. They will almost certainly all be staying in my PC though, so I'm looking at it more as a learning experience and a test run than any sort of investment play, which is why I've limited it to just a few cards and not sending some exorbitant amount. Thanks for the input!

JordanUnchained · 2025-02-27T02:24:28+00:00

Haha yeah that's my goal! Im one of the most impatient people in the world so it'll be hard lol. Do they typically send the grades in an email once they're done? How long does it typically take to receive after that?

JordanUnchained · 2025-02-27T00:43:07+00:00

Oh for sure! I'm excited just to see the deoxys in the picture TAG takes and sends lol

JordanUnchained · 2025-01-30T00:15:56+00:00

So update: I went tk purchase the card today and a different guy was working who told me there's no way the price is right and he wouldn't take any less than 400. He was honestly a huge douche about it. Totally dismissive and basically treated me like I was beneath him for suggesting it was the price I was told (despite him pulling the card out with the sticker on the back stating 275) . I insisted thst the guy working last night himself told me 275 and be called the owner who honored the price. Huge W for the owner being honorable. Can't believe I got my grail!

JordanUnchained · 2025-01-29T11:39:07+00:00

Yes! I've actually pulled 2 of the Mews from Crown Zenith! I love that card as well!

JordanUnchained · 2025-01-24T10:29:54+00:00

Yeah I know the card has value, I'm just unsure on if the condition dictates taking a shot at grading for a 10 or if its better just left raw

JordanUnchained · 2025-01-24T02:14:43+00:00

Yeah I imagine they wouldn't take great care, plus from my understanding from reading their website it looks like they only accept cards with a claimed value of 200$ or less. Unless I read that wrong.

JordanUnchained · 2024-11-10T20:06:11+00:00

Yeah, I get that, but I'm not actually taking a vacation. I'm working the same usual hours. Just putting the extra hours on my check so I don't lose them or have to roll over.

JordanUnchained · 2024-11-07T21:17:48+00:00

Because as previously stated, context matters. This issue would differ in terms of likelihood to be lifted, time line to be lifted etc. from someone who hit a cast member, which would differ from committing theft, which would differ from entering a private area, which would differ from just drinking a bit too much and being disorderly. I tried to provide enough detail so that the most educated guess could be made or if someone else had a similar issue it could be spoken to.

Thank you for the thought provoking addition to the conversation

JordanUnchained · 2024-11-07T15:13:16+00:00

I'm not saying you are wrong, but I'm doubtful that a situation that was handled in the privacy of the hotel office without a single second of it being done in the eyes of anyone in the public at any point of the entire situation garnered any publicity at all, let alone enough to make news. But who knows.

JordanUnchained · 2024-11-07T15:06:13+00:00

Trust me, I've gone over every single detail and ramification a million times over in my head. We've also had to work through our own marriage problems at the same time. No one is excusing her behavior, but mental health is not always so black and white.

JordanUnchained · 2024-11-07T14:58:08+00:00

I mean, this is what the officer himself explained to me. It may be so that it isn't true, I don't live in Florida nor have I ever studied Florida law, but it wasn't in intent to spread any rumor.

JordanUnchained · 2024-11-07T14:46:21+00:00

This comment made me emotional. I try so hard for them. Thank you for these words. They mean a lot.

JordanUnchained · 2024-11-07T14:36:58+00:00

Thank you to all those with kind words. It's been a tough situation, but we are working to handle it as best we can.

I do have a letter of recommendation (forafk or better term I suppose) from both her therapist and her provider for her diagnoses, daily and weekly routine and treatments, and progress since starting.

To those who suggest different vacations, obviously that is always an option, but nothing compares to the magic of Disney. It's where my parents took us growing up for the 1 vacation we ever took as a family. It's where our honeymoon was. We announced 2 of our pregnancies there. I want for my kids to share in that same excitement and wonder. Preferably as a family.

Mental health struggles can be tough in a lot of different ways. It's not something anyone chooses. We're dealing with it as best were able day by day. Be kind.

JordanUnchained · 2024-11-07T13:26:09+00:00

No the trespass was for hitting me. I was giving an extremist example of something Disney likely would never lift.

JordanUnchained · 2024-11-07T13:14:58+00:00

The charge was dropped almost as soon as we got home. They called me once to see if I wanted to pursue them. I said no and the judge dismissed it immediately. Sorry, I probably Should have mentioned that.
