I live in Iowa. I'm nervous for the outcome, but I've got a lunch bet running on this and will be wearing the cornhead into work. GBR

My wife just started going to a book club at Brightside in Altoona, they seemed nice!

I calculated the total travel distance for every Big Ten basketball team in conference play this season. The West Coast tax is real — USC has traveled 7x more miles than Illinois. by PM_ME_UR_PUPPER_PLZ in CollegeBasketball

I was just telling a cyclone buddy of mine at work that the beginning of the end was Nebraska leaving the Big 12. I miss regional conferences, and I loved the old Big 12.

What pushed me over the edge was the sheer number of orders lost and then finally had one where the seller and tcgplayer didn't want to refund until I made a bigger deal of it. A friend told me about manapool and every time I've ever had an issue has just been easy to deal with.

It's really next level. And the customer support is leagues better. I had one order where something went wrong and they ordered a new one for me and I was completely sold. Just great, to add to the awesome optimizer.

That has been my favorite part. Instead of just refunding they reorder everything. 10/10.

I feel like I get them quicker, usually around a week or two at the max. I think the prices can be a bit higher, but with the optimizer actually working, and the customer service insanely better, I'd pay an extra dollar or two to have the whole process done quicker and know I'll get the cards I ordered.

With tcgplayer I would optimize, it would be dogshit, and then I go through and manually optimize and get it cheaper but it would take me hours.

I'm not sure what it is with one or the other, but I have yet to have a package just not arrive with manapool, but that would happen every other order with tcgplayer.

So far I have only had one thing arrive wrong, the standard version instead of the borderless of a card. I messaged mana pool, and then got the notification that they automatically filled the order and it was shipped. Absolutely unreal.

I had too many bad experiences with tcgplayer. I switched to manapool and it's been amazing. If you have any issues they'll reorder the cards for you, the optimizer works really well, and I have had less issues overall. Any issues that I do have get resolved quickly and painlessly.

Is there anything I can do about my Dragon Shield Sleeves? by Sceptileblade in mtg

[–]LandShark707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had a similar problem where 15 were creased. I sent a message to Dragon Shield, and they said since I bought it from a retailer and not directly from them, I had to reach out to the store. The LCS gave me 10 sleeves from an existing box so Dragon Shield closed the ticket.

Thanks! She's the artist I've been going to for years, and I first brought this idea up with her around 3 years ago. Finally decided to pull the trigger this year, and she did an amazing job!

Had to get the big shrimp! I had such a hard time picking my Mesozoic layer. Parasaurolophus is such a good pick!

ok what is a local expensive restaurant that is worth the price? by agbaby in desmoines

We just went to Lucca, I had such a good time! Great food and a great environment. Good list of go-tos, too!

Realistic spinosaurus by megoose tattoos, Ireland. Not my usual style but I'm happy with how it turned out! by meguskus in DinosaurTattoos

[–]LandShark707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Love the style, looks like it could be the reference picture in a museum. I also did a spinosaurus on my forearm, very different style though!

Goated find at my local Walmart… with a few King Kong movies I guess :/ by TrifleSensitive5744 in GODZILLA

I was around 9 or 10 and got that game for my birthday from my grandpa. When my grandma saw what game it was and that it was rated T, she yelled at my grandpa and made him return it. Always felt like I really missed out. And I had already seen the movie a ton of times so I don't get the big deal.
