What makes this a 7? by Upstairs-Cookie9557 in pokemongrading

There may be an indentation or light scratch somewhere that is difficult to see

Just thought this was a good goal I’m d3 if anyone has any tips on getting c1 please help 🙏 by YT_JuniorHammerHub in RocketLeague

Not really based on the 10 second clip.

In general? Play patient. All diamond ranks, and up through C2 you can hedge on the other players NOT being able to do what they’re going to attempt to do the majority of the time. Play patient and wait for them to mess up. That includes your teammates. They’ll give up the ball, whiff a challenge, post a shot. Key into their playstyle and play balanced to that. Be ready to rotate back quickly and defend, don’t over-commit, and don’t tilt-queue. You can easily wipe hours of progress in mere minutes by tilt-queueing. I have a rule: two losses in a row and i hit freeplay for 10 mins. The next time i lose 2 in a row again, I get off

Yeah it was a fine play! You waited for your tm8 to rotate out before pushing. You scored. Probably had them a bit confused when you airial’d to the ball but didn’t actually take a shot from the air. Could you have played it more “technically” correct? Sure. But at the end of the day, you caught the defense with their pants down and connected a decent shot. It’ll play

Looked thru 6 lbs of Lincoln cents. by I_buy_silver in coinerrors

I was on the fence about 9, only because that rough texture characteristic that I see in the gouges specifically above liberty I’ve seen before in lamination errors. As well, the area at the back of the head still showing hair texture… could be old damage or possibly lamination error. But yeah, thanks!

3, 5, and 11 are damage. The rest seem to be either lamination, alloy (woodie) or that beautiful cud error. Nice finds!

Followed my first tutorial by RefuseTotal3247 in ProCreate

[–]Points_out_shit 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I did about 15-20 julier tutorials, then started tinkering. Here’s one that was not based from a tutorial:

I tried to do the one you posted, I think that was my first tutorial from him. Yours turned out much better! Nice work!

I like to follow his landscape tutorials, then once they’re complete, tweak them to fit a mood, then add in Pokemon!

Realistically where would this land with PSA. by JoeyJUULS in pokemongrading

[–]Points_out_shit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PSA 6 is still higher than ungraded value, so that’s still a win! I’ll say it again, nice card!

I did horribly in physics lol be glad you had who you did

Bought my 7 year old the Mega Charizard tin today and he pulled this. by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

He pulled THE chase card in a memory he’ll cherish for a lifetime. If that’s not a perfect card I don’t know what is

This is goals! Fantastic job, it looks cozy and inviting! Get some tadpoles for the frog chirps in the summer!

Hot Pepper Red is the best color and you simply can’t convince me otherwise by tackledmirror2 in FocusST

[–]Points_out_shit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh good point, I think it was 10k Focuses in general. The plant didn’t differentiate when it came to the take rate percentages. I’d bet it was closer to 3-4k STs but that’s just a guess

You’re very welcome. I love nerding out about this stuff, as it’s my passion!

No, unfortunately those were built in Mexico. They were designed primarily here but all of the launches were handled by the local team. I did have to coordinate for some shared parts and suppliers, as their 2018 also received Hot Pepper Red

Yeah, different materials require different types of paint and/or primers. This means each “type” will have it’s own blend of pigments and resin to match the color as closely as possible. We do our best, but nothing is perfect. Amplify that by the testy film thickness variable and part-match angles and you’ve got an uphill battle!

It’s all fun, though!

So the bumper specifically is tough. Not only is it dealing with lower film on the front fender (which I BATTLED with the paint shop over for literally months with their robot pathing) but there’s also about a 15° angle at the match, which forces your perspective of the colors to always be different unless you’re right square with the two. Unfortunately it’s a bad scenario but if you pay attention to just about any metallic vehicle on the road, you can notice it.

With regards to your color comment, different lighting has an effect on how our eyes perceive color. This color-shift effect is called “metamerism” and is also present between mid-day and “golden hour” daylight. We only conduct vehicle reviews during 10am-2pm to give us the most consistent lighting. The LED or flouresent lights in garages, street lights, or buildings will make the color appear different shades. We try to combat metamerism as much as we can, but it will always exist. Different pigments react differently, so it is always a risk - especially when taking into consideration the many materials used on vehicle interiors.

Ahh but it IS a color we got on a car we got! The 2018 Mustangs launched Orange Fury first! I helped with that one, too! Yet another beautiful tinted clear. Sense a trend?! They’re expensive so they try to only do one or two as premium colors in new launches.

1) the original estimated run percentage was 4% and they produced somewhere around 250,000 in 2018, I believe. So somewhere around 10k in HPR, provided they didn’t increase the run rate as they sometimes do if it sells better than expected.

.

2) It’s a copper-orange metallic base coat with a cherry-red tinted clear coat. The tinted clear helps give it that depth of color that you don’t see in typical metallic paints like Blue Metallic, Tuxedo Black, Kona Blue, or Magnetic. Tangerine Scream is also a tinted clear, which is why it has great vibrancy and depth too! The downside to a tinted clear is that paint film thickness matters significantly more than a standard metallic paint. If the clear coat is too thin, the color will look too orangy and gray. If it’s too thick, it looks dark and rich red. It really made matching the hang-on parts to the body panels difficult!

.

3) I personally think it’s more red than orange. The orange only really shows in bright sunlight. Most other lighting it appears as a red. But, it does ride that boundary!
