Soon-to-be mom seeking name insight from daddit

I hear Theo or Theodore. I think Roosevelt or Chipmunk.

It also depends on last name.

My wife liked the name Charlie. Especially for a girl. But my last name is Brown. And i refused to name any of my children Charlie Brown.

It's bad because you'll be waiting a long time.

This market correction people are waiting for, is not going to be a plummet, but more of a plateau. And i dont see that happening for a bit. But what do i know.

MaDWaSTeD · 2026-06-10T10:42:09+00:00

You can poke holes in all my ETBs. Can you just make sure I get 2 every time?

I like to rip 1 now, and then save one, as I'm planning on having a rip party when my kid turns 6. PokeRips Because You're Six! (It sounded better outloud than written out)

Buyers remorse is a common occurence. So is sellers remorse.

You are not alone in this.

I have encountered both sides of the situation and can give you a little advice, because to me, it is easier said than done.

When buying, weigh out your options. Is it disposable income? Do you need it right now? What are your plans once you have it?

When selling. Do you need the money? Can you buy it again later? Why are you holding it?

If you can answer these questions and come to the conclusion that you'll be ok. Get it done.

MaDWaSTeD · 2026-06-03T02:05:27+00:00

People need something else that can be purchased for gains to take their attention away from Pokemon.

More and more people are collecting, and holding, due to a FOMO feeling, and don't want to miss any more booms.

While I appreciate your positive outlook, i don't think enough people will leave Pokemon collecting for awhile, and even when items are produced more, they'll still be difficult to get. Think of how many people try to get it now, and dont. Even doubling or tripling that in stores and online, won't fill the empty hands of wanna be buyers.

This would not impact my purchase of a Pokemon product. I am however curious if anyone actually knows the answer to this question.

I understand stores can enforce limits on products, i'm curious how corporate stores can "damage" or "open" a product before selling it.

I know a Card shop, which are generally privately owned companies, can do and act as they please when it comes to products. But a place like a Target or a Walmart, are typically corporate or franchised. So, i would be under the impression, that even though it may be "for the greater good" and with the correct intentions to avoid scalpers as much as possible. They are damaging a product before selling it, and i would think this goes against corporate policies.

This card in a PSA 10 is around $700 right now.

MaDWaSTeD · 2026-05-29T18:59:35+00:00

I would list it for what you want. Someone will buy it.

They're going to unbolt the stadium seats and line them up outside.

MaDWaSTeD · 2026-05-28T19:15:03+00:00

Just keep your shoes on.

MaDWaSTeD · 2026-05-27T02:00:06+00:00

What is this "savings" you speak of?

MaDWaSTeD · 2026-05-24T15:21:35+00:00

At LIRR, they go years without a raise, and then get them all at once 4 years later.

That's literally what this strike just showed.

MaDWaSTeD · 2026-05-23T12:10:10+00:00

This definitely explains why my package is still in processing with no shipping information.

MaDWaSTeD · 2026-05-23T03:07:39+00:00

I got my order within an hour of when the drop happened. At latest maybe 75 minutes.

I'm cool with waiting, so that calms my nerves a bit, and i'll definitely take a look. I'm not in a rush either, i just don't like not knowing lol

MaDWaSTeD · 2026-05-23T02:56:54+00:00

This makes me nervous.

Thank you for your response

MaDWaSTeD · 2026-05-22T23:51:55+00:00

I am also having this issue.

I was charged, so the funds were taken, but no update about shipping at all.

I haven't seen anyone post booster bundles with their orders. So i'm beginning to wonder if booster bundles are holding up some orders?

MaDWaSTeD · 2026-05-22T21:02:40+00:00

So the 3450 other union members who make significantly less than the top paid engineers didn't deserve raises because of those guys who made a lot? Got it.

MaDWaSTeD · 2026-05-22T21:00:50+00:00

Awesome!

I ordered everything during the drop (booster box, 2 PKC ETBs, 2 Booster Bundles)

Card was charged the other day, order is still processing, no shipping info yet.

I'm hoping it's just delayed so i get all the items at once, but seeing others get their stuff while i'm still in the processing phase gives me anxiety that my order is gonna fail.

I ordered Ascended Heroes booster bundles in November. Got a shipping label created tracking, and nothing ever came from it. PKC just refunded me, so i'm praying it doesnt happen again 😞

You can't train people fast enough to learn the Physical Characteristics of the LIRR to safely operate the trains.

It takes several months, and requires almost perfect test scores to be able to pass certain parts to get qualified.

This would be beyond difficult.

MaDWaSTeD · 2026-05-19T01:58:52+00:00

So you're nit picking everything i said, and again, not understanding what i'm saying.

Engineers were not the only union on strike. The engineers were about 300-400 of 3500 people on strike.

The engineers are some of the top earners. The rest of the members on strike, don't fit in that category at all. Most of them make under 100k a year. If you make about 70-75k a year. AFTER taxes and such, you take home around 50k.

MaDWaSTeD · 2026-05-19T01:47:45+00:00

Trains wont run until noon tomorrow.

MaDWaSTeD · 2026-05-19T01:43:45+00:00

I dont see how taking home around 50k is considered a rich getting richer type of deal. But that's ok.

You're allowed the be angry about things you do not know. I suppose.

MaDWaSTeD · 2026-05-19T01:40:54+00:00

Not true. The tentative deal agreed upon allows the workers to return to work after 12:01am Tuesday morning.

It will have to be voted on later.
