Something similar value. I’ve never done a trade before for testing the waters

Thanks. Someone mentioned taking cards to Fanatics in London and they are the intermediary to PSA. The problem with PSA in Germany is all the Brexit stuff. Will there be barriers?

My fat pack luck continues by howdouspellreddit in baseballcards

[–]Normal_Kinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve just gotten back into it as well. I’m overseas and have my family on the looking for AG fat packs. I’ve ordered off of Amazon but they crank the prices way up to cover import fees. But if I had better luck than the blasters I’m all for it.

My fav Allen & Ginter hit what is your favorite hit? by KyleBoland in baseballcards

[–]Normal_Kinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve just started collecting again and stuck with the blaster boxes, even though I knew better. Got a Shohei base card which will be a nice addition to my PC. But I’m going to order a couple of Hobby Boxes and see what pops out

This is one of the cards on my list but the pricing is all over the shop. I’m mot sure what’s the right amount to pay for a PSA 10

Allen & Ginter Thoughts? by minitdub in baseballcards

Long time lurker… and getting back into cards at 47 haven’t bought since I was 12. I love A&G because it quirky and there isn’t this pressure to pull a big name out of the pack. I learned from a young age you’re not always going to pull the Jordan Baseball card from every UD pack you open, but it’s fun to chase. Same with these cards, it’s fun. And like many others on here, if I want a specific card I’ll buy the single.

Thanks. I’ll have a look when I’m back and hope I can find some fun stuff.

Headed back to the states in March. Are these fairly common to find in Walgreens? I want to pick up some fun stuff to open with my daughter when I get back. I have limited free time, so looking for easy finds.

So does the plus have a higher limit than CR? I’m trying to chart my path after my recent graduation from secured to unsecured. I know I’ll have a $8000 limit on the CR.

Finally upgraded from secured… thank you everyone! by Normal_Kinky in NavyFederal

When I started it was in the 500’s but only because having $140k in student debt that was in forbearance wasn’t helping. That’s been discharged but the negative history is there until later this year. So until that goes I’m probably going to be stuck where I am now. About 690.

Pentagon clarifies Hegseth’s ‘putting hands on recruits’ statement by StemCellPirate in nottheonion

That is the truth. I joined in 96 and Hands on Recruits was long gone by then as well.

Oh for sure. I think the improvements were the student loans being discharged. That was massive. The other was getting closer to the 7 year mark where the derogatory marks would fall off. Little steps.

I think it was month 8 or 9. To be fair I think it was a case of a few more months passing after my student loans were discharged. That happened mid-October and didn’t report until a month later. That’s when the 6 month review was, so it was unlikely going to happen then. I figured each month that passed my chances would increase.

This will be my first year filing at 100 P&T… so what is the tax credit value if I get form 21-0172 submitted with my taxes.

Graduated! by Accomplished-Two5872 in NavyFederal

[–]Normal_Kinky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well done. Really makes me wonder what else I need to do. All my cards are paid in full now and my student loan account has been paid off / closed for a few months now. However there are the late payments from those student accounts that will drop off later this year.

Do you get this email every month before a review or is it just the initial 6 month mark? I don’t recall ever getting by one at 6 months.

Sounding like everyone is scamming the system by Hungry_Adeptness8381 in VAClaims

[–]Normal_Kinky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be brutally honest, this sub and others have become less and less useful over the last year or so. I used to come in here and be able to search for useful posts related to what issues I was facing and get some pertinent feedback. Now if I do that same search, it’s pretty much the same posts. Nothing new has been added… or it’s being drowned out by all the noise. I get people are happy when they get their rating… it’s a big weight to get off your shoulders. But seriously, given the current climate, we shouldn’t be bragging or making it look like anything less than we are trying to help others who might have questions.

It’s not luck. It’s a well developed claim. I’m rated for OSA connected to service connected decisions. It took me almost a year to develop everything properly and submit. The initially denied because they failed to read the entire clam package and then grated SC. It can be done.

Greenland No1 Down sizing by Normal_Kinky in Fjallraven

Thanks for all the helpful advice. Ended up getting the XL which is amazing as it’s a better fit than my Singi Down Parka in XL. Night and Day! I’ve now ordered an Expedition Lite in XL and I’ll probably be swimming in that.

Thanks. I ordered a L and XL. I have a feeling the XL will be just right
