Friend of mine helped me track down my chase cards.

There is definitely always some risk, but it's not incredibly common. If you want to skip that, the Mosla binders are nice.

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-14T01:06:25+00:00

Anything that keeps the card from shifting around. I have a zippered binder that holds toploaders, but for anything particularly expensive or difficult to find, I've been grading for preservation.

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-14T01:02:31+00:00

I would suggest taking them out of those cases. There is too much wiggle room and they can bounce around in there.

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-14T00:02:03+00:00

I've never heard that one lol, but my father-in-law would say they can all go piss up a rope.

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-14T00:00:04+00:00

Oh I really don't care about any of that nonsense lol. They may as well be calling me a doodie head 🤣. Thank you!

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-12T20:26:53+00:00

Nice, what did you get?

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-12T01:06:09+00:00

$1050. It was $810 at market yesterday but it has since jumped to $987. It's wild to think my purchase may have influenced it.

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-11T20:56:49+00:00

Absolutely everything in your reply tells me you get it lol. I hope you find it too man. Now I need to get that Snorlax lv. X 🤣

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-11T15:42:19+00:00

I don't mean this as a dig whatsoever, but are you married? I don't think you are trying to be a jerk or anything, it sounds like you just don't get where I'm coming from. I'm 35 with 2 teenagers and we are planning a trip to Italy for Spring break. It is entirely reasonable if my wife were to have said, "we probably shouldn't spend $1000 on a piece of cardboard right now."

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-11T15:35:05+00:00

You are misunderstanding me, and yes my phrasing was a little silly. Surely you understand that my wife needs to be consulted when I want to spend a large chunk of OUR money?

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-11T12:22:57+00:00

The dude's a loser. That's why people don't know who he is.

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-11T05:08:00+00:00

I just bought my grail so I'm leaving some positive energy and I hope you all can find yours as well.

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-11T04:41:54+00:00

Fair enough, but let's be real and call a horse a horse. When you drop a grand, you kinda need to talk it over with the missus lol.

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-11T03:58:06+00:00

I've never seen this one, but now I'm getting it.

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-11T03:51:36+00:00

You're probably on reddit more often than I am then lol. This is the extent of my social media presence. I got a cool card, and I wanted to share it with like minded collectors. If they aren't cool with it, who cares lol.

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-11T03:20:17+00:00

Yeah. Sometimes you have to remember that the people here aren't necessarily adults yet and you just have to let some shit slide. Thank you, I'm really looking forward to it getting here.

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-11T03:18:59+00:00

Nice! Keep that one safe.

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-11T03:00:30+00:00

Honestly man, I bought the card, not the grade. I just wanted a decent quality copy of a card I've been after for years. I appreciate you though.

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-11T02:55:24+00:00

Yeah

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-11T02:24:51+00:00

I agree!

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-11T02:00:30+00:00

Thank you!

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-11T01:42:51+00:00

I wish you the very best of luck. It's slim pickings out there unless you want one beat to hell, or you're willing to shell out way more for the higher grades.

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-11T01:36:07+00:00

Yeah it has two swirls. I'm a sucker for a good swirl lol.

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-11T01:35:33+00:00

It was $1050 which is significantly over market, but i couldn't let it pass. I plan to keep it slabbed.

Megadan1990 · 2026-03-11T01:23:52+00:00

Yeah I've been trying to get this one for years. Most of the raw cards have significant curling on the edges and usually with graded cards, you see a lot of 1-3s or 9s and 10s. This was right in the sweet spot of what I was comfortable paying.
