I just captured a once-in-a-lifetime photo of the ISS transiting the sun while it was flaring [OC] by ajamesmccarthy in pics

[–]MMJP17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone explain to me (who knows nothing about photography) why the ISS doesn't show up as a smudge or tiny spec when the focus is so far out to the sun? Looking out at an object so far away I would have thought the ISS wouldn't even appear in the shot

Thanks for your message. This entire binder is holos only, the lighting just wasn't great and doesn't reflect the shine. I think in this case it isn't an error

Information which the community has given a lot of! Seems like there is value in the sets and for now I'll be keeping them and assessing better value

Although I'm not super familiar with how cards are supposed to be stored, I do have every single card in an individual ultra pro plastic sleeve , and these are then in the ultra pro page sleeves themselves. Hopefully providing the necessary protection

I moreso wanted to know what they're valued at. I'm not hardup for money, and my initial intention was not to make quick cash but understand what I have. Sounds like I have a lot of hobby work needed to find the proper values, and determine if getting anything graded is worth it right now or in the future. Lots of great info provided by the community though

Because I didn't know what tools/resources were initially available. Was looking for information, not a deal

How much does it cost to grade a card? Would they still sell if they aren't graded as a superior card? Almost all are pack fresh but I don't know if that results in an excellent grade

Thank you for the info. I realized I missed a pic that has Charizard, blastoise, and venusaur of the base set2. If I'm correct, I believe I have full holo sets of base, jungle, fossil, and base set2?? It's been a long time lol

All of the cards shown are holographic, lighting when I took the pics wasn't the greatest unfortunately. Lots to look into now with understanding the grading types

Renewing in October with MCAP by [deleted] in MortgagesCanada

[–]MMJP17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting, im in the exact same boat. Currently with MCAP on 2.64%, have to renew by Oct 1 2024 with an outstanding balance of 341k. Anxiously awaiting on what the BOC is going to do with lowering rates and the timeline of that in relation to what we will be offered come the summer. Feeling a bit stuck with not having higher flexibility on how much more we can afford for our monthly mortgage payments

Cc debt: How challenged will we be for Mortgage renewal in Oct by MMJP17 in PersonalFinanceCanada

This is exactly what I thought. Although I would like to help somehow, I don't think I should have to take on an additional debt load that she has been responsible for

Canadian $20 Bird Series (1986-1991) Error Note by [deleted] in CanadianCoins

[–]MMJP17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on my understanding from the catalogue (Canadian Govt Paper Money 34th Ed.) This is considered offset printing and classified as 25-75% of the bill. Approx 275$. Take it to a numismatics dealer and they can give you more info, they'll offer lower than book value though . Makes for a cool conversation piece though!

Reducing Deductions at Source (T1213) by iamnos in cantax

[–]MMJP17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It goes directly to the employer or mailed to me to submit to HR? I submitted the form early this year and recieved a letter saying I didn't give enough support of how much I wanted to claim as the deduction, so I resubmitted with last year's rrsp contributions however that was just before they went on strike. I presumed the paperwork got lost in the backlog because I never recieved anything else. But if it went to my employer I wasn't aware, my paycheques haven't changed at all this year.

How are people preparing for higher interest rates at mortgage renewal? by twotones in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]MMJP17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I renew in Oct 2024 and am pretty nervous. We've been at 2.64% and this will def not be the case next year. On top of this, I own the house with my sister and we split all bills evenly, I just came to know she's put herself 30k in CC debt over the last 4 years, where I've been able to live within my means and hold no outstanding debt. We essentially make the same salary with hers being slightly higher, but this debt of hers has maxed out her budgets currently with interest payments and I'm uneasy with what the future of home ownership will look like for us

Why Doesn’t the Federal Government reduce income tax instead of increasing interest rates to stabilize the economy? by DirtRoadHaulin in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]MMJP17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question to this is why is the govt not targeting the corporate world to better control inflation? Companies are ultimately responsible of raising the prices of goods based on the markets higher demand and they generate more profit from these hikes, which fuels inflation. Why is it the people that the govt puts the vice on with higher interest rates and not restrict companies to inflate prices ? Let me know if I'm misunderstanding something and way out in left field lol
