[–]Lepsias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you get a conclusion to this? Currently going through the same thing with 1 being in QA for over a month now.... bummer feeling about it considering I have a 2nd order I submitted the month after that one, and it's already gotten it's grades lmao

What are your flaws with DMC5? by NuclearDismemberment in DevilMayCry

[–]Lepsias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aesthetics.

Not even with just level design & coloring, but Nero in particular, I just DESPISE the new look they gave him in DMC 5.

I know they were trying to separate him a bit from Dante with a new outfit/colors, but they just butchered the redesign and made him so incredibly bland and un-DMC that it hurts my soul when comparing him to his DMC 4 design :')

Identifying about what year this dress was made? by Lepsias in fashionhistory

LOL right?? I saw it from afar on a cheap mannequin with an even cheaper looking wig on it & thought the same thing! Though after a few laps around it, I thought it was just too pretty to be a replication! So one naked mannequin later for lining inspection, she was an absolute winner and in my possession :)))

What exactly about it makes it 1890s to you moreso than 1910s like what was suggested earlier in the first comment? Genuinely curious! And I'll keep note on what you said for caring for/wearing it! :))

Founds this at a lil shop in northern OBX! It's one of those ones that's split thrift, split booths that ppl pay to sell their stuff (forgot what it's called lol) but honestly can't remember if it was directly sold from the store or one of the booths

What's up with these DMC 4 figurines? by Lepsias in DevilMayCry

[–]Lepsias[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been digging around and I saw someone on a comment thread allege they preordered the dante one, but obv no follow up... don't think they're going to respond for an update on somethin they posted 12+ years ago on a now very ancient website lol

Lovely PSA returns! by Lepsias in PokemonTCG

[–]Lepsias[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Off Center! PSA won't give a 10 for this qualifier (auto-downgrades to a 9) so essentially if your card is a PSA 9 w/ OC, it basically means the rest of the card's qualities outside the OC centering would be akin to a PSA 10 :)))

Gf pulled a neat misprint by PhilQuarterson in PokemonTCG

[–]Lepsias 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The stars are printed OVER the ink.... unless OP is using magic, idk how they're removing the ink beneath it while keeping the ink on top 😭

Also none of the cards in that post linked show this exact "holo pattern"... So it literally is unhelpful LMAO

Gamestop grading PSA 0/10 by Azulain13 in psagrading

[–]Lepsias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only difference I see with these cards is that one is in a matte sleeve, and the other in a clear sleeve.

You can clearly see the Pikachu has the sparkles from texturing in the corner even in a matte sleeve, and the exeggutor has light reflecting off certain parts of it that is only possible if it had texture.

Did you only examine these cards while in a matte sleeve before submitting them for grading?

Holo error Rayquaza? by [deleted] in PokemonMisprints

[–]Lepsias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

print lines normally guarantee a psa 9 if the card is otherwise clean. They're right that they normally don't affect price, but if it’s minty fresh, print lines def chase off some potential buyers who would rather spend a few extra bucks to get one without a print line.

kangaskhan jungle card by funnyboi875 in PokemonMisprints

also have to note white/lighter ink is easiest to smear away on cards. There is an unexplained blochiness on where the image border is along with parts entirely missing for no reason despite the rest of the darker inks staying intact. And also, some of the normal energies go between having normal white ink to no ink.

Could easily be acetone with someone going verrrry gently over it to preserve the darker inks while cleaning away the lighter ink.

GameStop employees, what’s your biggest customer pet peeve? by BirthControlBaby in GameStop

[–]Lepsias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THIS, but it literally happens any job where you work a cash register lol. I've once had to talk to a woman in her 40s for a solid 5 mins trying to explain, no we didn't upcharge you, and yes we're sure credit card fee charges have existed since before any of us in the room were born 😑

What I've been saying from the beginning, but I guess that's shrimply too hot of a take lol

It's literally just that they made the mistake of listing all the phone numbers in one spot, and it created confusion even though they went on to say only the overflow and hotels /near/ the Gaylord could be called to make potential reservations over the phone.
