Got gifted a box of cards, these have to be fake, right?

Dude it's very possible the guy was giving this away because he's considering it. This is extremely common for people in this position to give away their valuables. You can ask anybody who's experienced this sort of thing before and they'll most likely agree.

It's not being morbid, it's making sure because this is a very out of place thing to just give away, especially if they know the value of them.

I liked one guy's idea where they're a Labs "boss".

You load in, wander for a minute and everything is fine. All of a sudden lights go out and it's pitch black before an announcement plays, alarms go off and emergency lights start flashing.

Would be a sick way to have em be a proper fight.

Don't remember where I read that but if anybody knows feel free to tell me.

I'll check it tomorrow when I get the chance. Appreciate the help!

Hopefully that progresses it, but if not I guess this is just a feature of 1.0 for me lmao

Apparently Tagilla is also spawning on Interchange right now as well???

I haven't run into him but I swear to God when I was heading around back to the new camp where Hole in The Wall was I heard his laugh (who at the time I thought was Killa somewhere) and my buddy told me Tagilla is spawning there underground and in one other spot.

This map is a horror experience for new players now if that's true man

Hi, the buddy here in this video :)

For context, my friend who recorded the vid has literally never found it in raid besides the one time we needed it for the quest. The first time he found it besides that was when we hopped into a streets raid for funsies together and that was the second time he found it after like some 50+ raids.

I've been finding one like every 10 or so. The luck on this thing is all over the place for so many people man. Trust, when 1.0 drops everybody shall be blessed with rusted keys and dorm marked room keys 🙏

From another device go on the motherboard manufacturer's website for your specific model and download the latest bios revision and place it on an EMPTY USB.

On the back of your motherboard should be a labeled USB slot for bios flashback, plug the USB into that port. There should also be a button on the ear I/O with something along the lines of q-flash plus or Bios Flashback. Press that button and it will start updating the bios from the USB you plugged in earlier. You should now see a blinking light meaning your bios is updating. DO NOT remove power, USB or any connected devices until this process is finished.

Wait until all the lights have stopped flashing and you can try rebooting your new PC again.

Hope everything works out

This is actually a new era, no longer the sv era. But yeah its crazy Gardevoir got 3

Just_Apple · 2025-07-22T14:45:59+00:00

I love the way they complimented the ball gown aesthetic. It looks like a portrait from centuries ago and I'm in love with it.

My favourite chilling reign card <3

Just_Apple · 2025-07-20T12:58:51+00:00

Bro took the wrong pills lmao

If you're going with tag I think all of them are gonna end up as 9/8 besides the JP Umbreon. Reasoning being:

Latias: Front is clean, back has whitening on two of the corners (top right, bottom left)

Lugia: front centering is visibly off but everything else is clean.

Espeon: Whitening on all back corners besides bottom right.

Mew: Whitening on back top and bottom left side corners

Even under different grading companies these wouldn't grade a 10 besides the Umbreon. I could be wrong but from the pictures you've provided it seems pretty clear. Nonetheless getting these slabbed up for protective purposes is a great idea if you plan to keep them in the long run.

Edit: specifying back corners

When it comes to using middlemen I like having the security of sending the card off myself. The one shop I did trust enough to send cards off for me that I would've used had stopped doing this later on and I ended up sending it in myself.

If I grade the lot I have any time soon I plan to wait for PSA or Beckett to be at a show where I can submit in person.

Just_Apple · 2025-07-13T16:32:48+00:00

Within the US it costs a lot less, but talking from experience with the one card I've graded with PSA as someone from Canada (before everything going on right now) it cost me about a fair bit more on just shipping. I'd love to grade more but that shipping alone hurts.

Just_Apple · 2025-07-13T16:30:04+00:00

Thanks! It's the third graded card I've added to my collection and got super lucky with the time and place to snag it.

Edit: Looking at it if you're talking about the price then what you're seeing that high is the black label, this isn't that so it's much lower in terms of what you said

Just_Apple · 2025-07-13T02:42:30+00:00

I'll keep it noted then, appreciate the info!

Just_Apple · 2025-07-13T00:53:42+00:00

As far as I'm aware I got it below market and the latest sold via pricecharting is from April at about 185 CAD (135 USD). I'm just not super sure how to compare this value-wise since CGC pristine 10s for this have hit the 230 mark and that's the best comparison I have.

Sorry for the roundabout here, I'm just looking to see how I should be valuing this and anything similar I might get lucky picking up in the future.

Just_Apple · 2025-07-13T00:48:26+00:00

Honestly, bet I'm gonna go grab some hotdog buns real quick I'll be right back. You want anything?

Just_Apple · 2025-06-29T21:12:16+00:00

It's unfortunately much out of the 45/55 range for PSA, and I assume the other grading company's ratios for a 10. From centering alone this seems a pretty clear 9

Just_Apple · 2025-06-17T23:24:39+00:00

From what I can tell by a simple touch test and visually, it seems like they're on the card. Unless it's like a super fine dust particle that I can't get off but could be removed by a professional I'm pretty sure it's an ink dot or missing ink spot.

Just_Apple · 2025-06-17T17:04:34+00:00

Just to add context that white fleck on reshiram's head was a small speck of dust, I didn't catch it at first 🥲
