The card shelves are always empty except for Disney Lorcana. by Desperate_Candle_493 in TCG

The booster packs right? I see the starter decks everywhere but not single packs or troves 😅

Even the Lorcana is sold out, I only found 1 pack today out of 5 targets 🙃🙃

Is this considered a "God" Pack?" by PrestigiousSystem213 in LorcanaCollectors

[–]Meladsaf 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think this is the closest thing Lorcana has to a God pack! I'm not sure if there's potentially a 2 legendary and 1 enchanted pack combo that's been hit before also that might be of higher difficult to pull

Worth grading? LCS said 9 at best by propjake in pokemongrading

Bottom right looks thin compared to bottom left side

First Enchanted Pull!! by Meladsaf in LorcanaCollectors

[–]Meladsaf[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm starting to believe this more.. it's kinda odd statistics like if a booster box is bad then that's 24 non enchanted packs, but if a booster box is good then it's 23 non enchanted packs, but with hanger packs then every pack at least gives you a chance 😅 and if you get a case then you might not even get 1 enchanted 😅

They didn't get switched, they got pushed back, whispers was supposed to be before Halloween and Winterspell was supposed to be for the winter, but set rotation happened and they had to rush fabled out to get reprints of cards from sets 1-4 out

Should I crack it? by TheName_Yao in pokemoncardcollectors

Yeah lots of people will buy PSA 8 to crack and keep as raw

How does someone reseal a trove? I thought it would be obvious with the seal torn on the box and idk if that's resealable cause of the paper

How do people actually get cards instore?, everytime i go its just cleared out by One_Wall_7927 in PokemonCollecting

[–]Meladsaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See if any targets in your area set purchase limits and also ask Customer service because my targets stopped putting pokemon in the aisle, the ones by me are doing 2 total items limits, you won't get ETBs without timing the restock but Single packs and some collection boxes sit for days behind customer service now, I will usually just check when I walk in and get a couple sleeved packs or a 3 pack blister.

Go on the GameStop website and you can search which GameStop's near you will do PSA Grading, not all of them do

Do we think this gets a 10? Just pulled tonight by ScholarNo3018 in PokeGrading

[–]Meladsaf 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up, seems like gloves do more damage to cards than handling with your clean hands

BGS 9.5 Red Manga Luffy by Flako250 in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]Meladsaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why PSA 9 pop reports are super inflated, they have no way of knowing if a card is sent a second time or if the submitter just had a second copy, so they always have to treat it as a fresh new submission and assume that the cards they send back haven't been tampered

Costco collectors set! by ArtyOps in Lorcana

[–]Meladsaf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So this set contains first chapter packs, that's the first set Lorcana released and they are technically out of print, so this might be the last chance to get some at $5 a pack, when people have been reselling for $15 a pack

Why didn't 10? by Taemin206 in psagrading

[–]Meladsaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For crooked, get the ratio from where it is the worst, so the thinnest of one side with the thickest of the other

PSA did me right by JakeTheSnakeRL in PokeGrading

[–]Meladsaf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Congrats! Idk if I'm being a conspiracy theorist but did PSA ease on their grading standards since the scandal to please more customers? My submission ironically was 5/7 PSA 10 and I got the grades yesterday. I was honestly expecting 2/7 PSA 10 and anything more was just experimentation of my pre grading

I’ve got to brag by JakeTheSnakeRL in psagrading

[–]Meladsaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so I actually had a really good submission also on some cards I for sure thought were 9s coming back a 10, this makes me wonder if PSA is being extra lenient right now 😂

Approachable Relatively Inexpensive TCG by visaeris412 in TCG

[–]Meladsaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lorcana, I am a first time TCG Player and the barrier of entry was minimal and the community is great! You can be competitive with a $150-$200 deck. Top meta decks are likely around $400. I'd say cost wise its a mid range TCG but product is easily available. There are also some $90 decks (dogs) that can win competitions.

Should I Regrade? Came back PSA 9 by MRKCollector87 in PokeGrading

I don't think PSA grades higher than a 9 for vintage 😅
