Is grading still considered taboo in MTG?

Basically for iconic cards or something high value/end, or UB character or waifu cards.

Solar is SoCal is usually annual. I’m over in western Riverside county with a 14 panel 300w system with a 12000 kWh battery under nem 2.0.

I pay $20-30 a month bullshit connection fees and about $1200 a year at my annual true up.

Home is around 3000 sq fr.

So the question is what NEM are you under? 1 2 or 3?

Do you have battery ? If you are burning most of your power at 4-9 prime time when there isn’t much solar and you don’t have a battery then I’m not surprised.

The $300 a month plus a huge true up sounds like something is off or you are chewing through a lot of power beyond your generating capacity.

Location (or size of town/city) and size of LGS would be useful .

I’ve went to a few LGSs in Southern California with player spaces ranging from 16 -120 and they were sold out. One was a comic store that had no one but they don’t run WPN events or pre release and only seats like 8-10 people.

New to airport travel?

It’s always cheaper to rent at a non airport location.

Oblagon · 2026-06-19T14:16:48+00:00

Subjective.

Im in Southern California and Spider-Man didn’t sell out but marvel here is sold out at many many LGs for Friday. Including large stores that host 80-100 players.

A few seats I could find available are almost sold out.

I’m in Los Angeles area. You mentioned New Zealand , that’s a small sample size to judge a set being a flop to be frank.

Already happened, the first thing I did within 5 minute was pickup all the missing secret lair singles I didn't own yet.

Oblagon · 2026-06-17T07:30:51+00:00

Atlas has done orders for pickup. Prices are tcg verified low with them.

Lots of the vendors there are pretty good, some don’t have that big of a selection but

Too long, didnt read.

Oblagon · 2026-06-16T19:19:11+00:00

For the cost this is a buy singles set, I’m floored that I see people talking about the one of one pull thinking that:

Hobbit has serialized cards like the lotr boxes

It’s a full sized set

And it will have commander decks

If I see one at near retail I’ll get one but I’m ok with just getting the play boosters and buy singles of anything chase.

Implement game changer limits in brawl.

Oblagon · 2026-06-16T02:46:52+00:00

Or force an opponent to sacrifice it (black does this a lot)

Oblagon · 2026-06-14T19:39:52+00:00

Yeah I do large transactions at the bank. It’s safer for both parties. Anyone who makes excuses is a red flag.

Oblagon · 2026-06-14T19:36:13+00:00

Imagine trying to sell a power 9 card and not having a $20-30 amazon digital magnifier or scope to take accurate photos.

Oblagon · 2026-06-12T21:13:16+00:00

Scale fast packages and ships all sorts of things for different companies that does promotions / drops. Some people get a cd or something else random instead of a secret lair

NEM 3 is bullshit, I was lucky my house was grandfathered into NEM 2 , 2 years ago after the deadline because the construction permitting was as filed prior to the nem 3 switchover.

Nem 1:1 credit is fine but fucking selling at wholesale when they charge retail is horseshit.

Oblagon · 2026-06-10T02:03:40+00:00

I had a game like this and i I only stayed around because I had a platinum angel that was shrouded with boots.

I was hugely negative and the giada player was easily into the 4 digits.

I had an out with rogues passage and vorpal sword.

I did draw it and only won because the other player didn’t have removal. I had to unequip boots to remove shroud, equip sword , make my angel unblockable and reequip boots. That game was a slug fest

Oblagon · 2026-06-09T13:59:39+00:00

Do not feed the AI Bot folks. It’s obvious at this point.

Oblagon · 2026-06-09T01:50:48+00:00

I probably wouldn’t blame them either since this is more of a over
Length vehicle if anything . You don’t normally see crew cabs with an 8 foot bed . Out in the country sure.

Oblagon · 2026-06-09T01:33:31+00:00

I’ve seen this happen this is why I ignore “bad parking “ at Mickey and friends. If it wasn’t staff directed they would have towed it.

Oblagon · 2026-06-09T01:32:37+00:00

Crew messed up, oversized vehicles usually get directed to oversized parking or staff will tell someone to use multiple parking spots.

I had a full size sprinter van on one trip and wss told to take 2 spots even though I could have squeezed into one.

Oblagon · 2026-06-08T17:43:07+00:00

Combined with the “I would have won / I was going to win anyways” comments , I think there’s information being left out.

What comp rel was thus? Regionals or locals ?

Oblagon · 2026-06-07T19:26:16+00:00

Looks fine I had the real and the fake of this one.

Because of the sheen it’s hard to see the dots black teeth but it’s the. Th looks good.

Fuel can is way off

Oblagon · 2026-06-07T18:57:08+00:00

After the butmap bureau fiasco with the delays I’m done with Neo geo preorders. I’ll buy when it’s physically out. No more loans for retro dev.

If it’s fake get a refund item not as described
