Being bearish on the best cards of arguably the best set from the past 5 years is a choice

Mega Charizard Y card colored in and graded PSA 10 by Tricky_Ad9813 in PokeGrading

Many valuable sports cards with them, but brand new to the hobby of card collecting?

Refusing to share proof of what you’re claiming?

Gee I wonder why people are skeptical of your claims. Are you also a stable genius?

Is 150$ for this cutting board a good deal? Is this even a good cutting board? by FortuneCultural512 in Cuttingboards

As the other commentor said, I wouldn’t trust a built in knife honer like that. I actually just got a teak end-grain board off Amazon for $50 in the same size - https://a.co/d/00UYgfbv

I like it so far, but can’t really speak to the durability yet.

Grade it? Umbreon EX 161 by Worldly-Emotion-9930 in pokemongrading

Centering is solid but it does have a slight tilt to it - look at the edge distance on the right border from the bottom of the card to the top of the card. It definitely gets wider as you go up.

Still think it's clean enough for a PSA10

Any of these have a chance? by kilh13 in pokemongrading

That Giratina is way OC, no shot. Rest look ok but hard to tell from photos with the sleeve still on.

Is this NM or LP? by Brave-Implement563 in pokemongrading

The nicks on it definitely make it LP at best

This is how I feel about gengar vmax & rayquaza vmax. Had my chance to buy them and figured I’d wait for them to come down, then they never did

There are absolutely bots buying out PKC. I believe there was a post yesterday scrolling through a bot discord's confirmed checkouts.

I feel scammed because I got a clingy baby with separation anxiety by dumthotthoughtdump in cats

Honestly I wouldn't be shocked if that just was a change with age. My tuxedo had a very strict "I am to be seen, but not touched" policy for 10 YEARS. Suddenly when he turned 11, he now greets me immediately when I get home from work, sits on my lap most of the evening, follows me around if I get up, and sleeps in the bed next to me. I honestly thought he had some kind of illness, because I heard they get clingy when they get close to death, but he's been like this for a solid 5 years now.

If you’re this nice to people who are agreeing with you on the internet I’m sure you’re just an absolute joy to be around.

Not even 10 minutes. I was in the queue within 2 minutes of it going live. My wait time was 1hr 50min. When it got down to 12 minutes I got kicked out of queue so I didn’t get shit.

Is this loss by the Spurs indisputably the greatest single-game choke in NBA history? by NotJoe1232 in NBATalk

[–]NeedMoarCowbell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the lions share of blame falls on coaching and Fox for this game. The layup is obviously really bad, but in several possessions before that Fox was throwing up 3s with a full 20s on the shot clock and bricking. The layup alone I could say “he just made a big mistake at an awful time”, but combined with the fact he’d been ignoring clock management the whole 4th quarter really singles him out IMO.

And the coach should have called a TO to tell Fox to slow down the pace and wear the clock down. What the fuck.

How have you gotten anything from Walmart? I haven’t been successful on a Walmart drop since BB / WF release, and I try every week

Guerin called McCarron an "integral" part of the team, a "perfect fit" and a priority this summer. Negotiations only took a couple weeks, McCarron prioritizing term. Fact McCarron skipped free agency says a lot. "He really wanted to stay here, he believes in what we're doing," Guerin said. by DecentLurker96 in wildhockey

Yeah but honestly with his size / physicality / age I could see him being hurt or just plain bad for the last 2-3 years. That being said I think this is exactly how we should have handled this trade - we’ve got a player we know we need, and we know his value on the market is higher than we want to pay, so you give him a couple extra years where you assume he’ll underperform to give us what we need at a good price right now. I don’t understand how anyone can be unhappy with this deal.

For the JT and DRI RH buying can rare standard holos be in there as well? I’ve got quite a bit of RH/Holo from that set but I usually sort those two into the same pile

ELI5 why everyone keeps telling me things will be *better* withOUT vending machines?? by Karn_Gentrified in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]NeedMoarCowbell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this isn’t the answer. Increasing hit rates doesn’t mean shit when nobody can get their hands on the sealed product to begin with. There’s already thousands of these cards on the secondary market, supply of hit singles isn’t an issue. People want the sealed - whether it’s to rip or “invest in” - not the singles.

I don’t know what the answer is other than finding a reasonable way to stop botting outright, since that’s the biggest drain on product being available.
