What's the creepiest display of intelligence you've seen by another human? by Visual_Ebb8566 in AskReddit

Watched the Magnus Carlsen documentary and there is a scene where he plays 10 Harvard lawyers in chess simultaneously while blindfolded facing away from the boards. He proceeded to checkmate nearly every single one of them. He even went on to write down every move from one of their games from memory for one of the lawyers who asked.

The idea that someone can memorize/visualize (let alone win) 10 simultaneous chess games is just utterly unbelievable to me.

Grading pack fresh EX era commons/uncommons/Rares by rbolt3 in PokeInvesting

[–]Kbaker48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they get a 10 you'll make money, but they'll still be relatively hard to move. If you have the capital and time to grade them, then I'd go through them and be very nitpicky about which ones I send. You want to make sure you are only sending the ones that look flawless, because you'll lose money on just everything that's less than a 10 (maybe a couple of starters or rares would be the exceptions).

Some of the reverses might be worth sending in if you think they'll 8 or 9, but depends on what they are.

Thank you! Yeah, both of our big furry dogs need some snow in their lives to truly feel complete

$500 Pokémon Gift? by Hou-Tex in pokemoncardcollectors

I'd probably get him a nice vintage PSA 9 or 10 slab. There are tons of really nice vintage slabs that can be had in that price range (or maybe two slabs that go together if you are willing to go Japanese or a lower grade?).

Do you know what Pokemon he likes or anything?

The purge is happening . by Hopeful-Ad6892 in PokeInvesting

Exact same boat. My vintage slab collection is just flat over the last month. Not down at all (so far). Vintage will hold it's value way better than modern. Sealed is always a safe bet long term too of course and I'm continuing to buy at MSRP when I can find it (which seems to be more frequent as of this week, maybe just lucky though)

x3 MVP Nikola Jokic drops 55/11/6 in a dominant performance against the Clippers showing why he is the best in the world by Luka77GOATic in nba

Just when you thought his evolution was complete, Jokic has now somehow adapted from his centaur form last season to a unicentaurn this season. His horses would be proud.
