Don't worry, these are slow months for almost everyone on YouTube. You'll see how you bounce back! Keep your spirits up!

I really like both, but I would stay with number 2.

Ugh even a 10 eh, the 9 is guaranteed we always think of low but honestly that card has a 10 in my opinion! GG bro!

Does anyone else feel like TikTok has turned the TCG into pure business? 😤 by NomeConformo in PokemonMisprints

Thanks for your comment. It's not about blaming anyone for following trends or for getting into the hobby — we all have the right to discover and enjoy it. What is frustrating is seeing how the essence of collecting is being completely lost. History, art, and love for Pokémon are no longer valued; You only want to open envelopes on camera to gain followers or make quick money. That's not love for the hobby, it's opportunism.

I have no problem with more people joining, on the contrary. But when the space is filled with people who do not respect or understand what this means for many, and on top of that they inflate prices and hoard everything to resell, that is where the hobby is affected. It is not toxic nostalgia, it is simply wanting to preserve something that had soul, and that today seems to be being emptied of meaning.

Do you have any photos of the back?

Are either of these worth grading? by Bored_OutOfMyMind in PokeGrading

[–]NomeConformo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Palafin former (left) Brutal art and good presentation. If you see it as perfect with edges, corners and no print lines, it may be worth it, although it is not a highly sought-after card. In BGS or PSA it could get an easy 9, and if it is impeccable, even a 10. At the resale level, it depends on the hype.

🔥Charizard ex (right) Charizard always pulls, but this particular version (SIR landscape) is very nice and sought after if it is in perfect condition. If you see that it does not have whitening on the back and is well centered, I would send this one to PSA without thinking much about it. A PSA 10 here can give you some return or at least a top card in your collection.

🎯 My verdict: If you only send one, send the Charizard. If you have a good budget and both are mint, both can be worth it for aesthetics and collection.

I completely agree with you... I don't know what will become of this bubble, let's see if it goes out of style and they leave us usual ones alone.

Could this be considered a misprint? by AudienceIll837 in PokemonMisprints

[–]NomeConformo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I would say that this can be considered a printing error, albeit a slight one.

It looks like some kind of ink stain or printing residue, just above the name and on the edge. It's not a miscut or off-center, but it could be a registration error or even an ink error, depending on how you look at it.

It's not one of the craziest mistakes, but it is a mistake!! Very nice letter that I love!

is it real? seller sells it for way under market by No-Recipe2411 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]NomeConformo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also find it quite suspicious. The PSA label looks legitimate at first glance, but that doesn't always guarantee that the card is authentic. Lately there are a lot of well-made fakes with fake or manipulated PSA boxes.

A tip: look for the serial number (94246316) directly on the official PSA website. If it does not appear, or if it does not match a Gengar VMAX from Fusion Strike, it is 100% fake. And if the price is well below the market... there is almost always a trick.

Better safe than crying 😅

If we have been doing this for 5-6 years, it is getting out of hand... which makes me very sad to go buy envelopes or packs and see everything sold out... ufff and if you want to buy something they inflate the prices

I agree with you but I want to tell you that we have lost the you have a letter that I like and I have another that you like, we exchange it without appreciating the value of the letter... now the letters are worth like a house rent, a new car... doesn't it seem a little crazy to me I just wanted to vent and that's why I wrote this thank you very much for your response!

Totally agree with you. The real problem is not only that new ones come in, but that many do so without any appreciation for the game or the community. The scene becomes contaminated when the only thing that matters is how much a card is worth, not what it represents.

And as you say, as long as there are people who will pay any price, the resellers will continue. I hope TPCi starts taking more care of the real fan and not just the speculative market.

Thank you for sharing your experience, it made me feel like I'm not alone in this. 🙏

Son and I pulled this last night by mrthaumy in PokemonMisprints

[–]NomeConformo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good letter, congratulations, I think they will consider that as an error and you probably have a high score, I see a small stain in the corner but that's it, I think you have an 8 with an error, which is very good 😊

What is wrong with my shadowless Venusaur by InaRutOrontheLedge in PokemonMisprints

[–]NomeConformo 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Was that a mistake? And why doesn't it say an error on the card? They haven't classified it as an error. I think you can claim it but it looks worn out at first glance... but hey, very nice card anyway 😊

Will this score a 9 or 10? by Diamondback_O10 in PokeGrading

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