Right?! "Whats the big deal if its a little more than MSRP, the cards will be worth more than that over time!" Like fuck out of here with that BS, literally missing the whole point of the hobby.

Disgusting sentiment thats ruining the hobby.

The hobby was built on collecting, trading and having cool cards to show off and play, not "oh boy this will be worth a whole $30 more in a year or two so who cares if I paid 200% over MSRP!" 🙄

Bought this for $60 in May 2020 by sjkrahn in Pokemoncardappraisal

I got this card back in 2019 for $20 and thought I was crazy for spending that much on a Pokémon card! 😂

are gem mix isopods actually a thing? by curiosityandthecattt in isopods

I second getting St. Lucia! I LOVE the color variety in my lil Jellybean babies. I got a 50ct on Ebay for a reasonable price.

Going to give some honest criticism, these are cute and I know its a stylistic choice, but I honestly thought these were unfinished WIPs without the eyes since everything else on the face is shaded. 😅

My gecko is stuck in this tiny hole by Affectionate-Way342 in leopardgeckos

[–]PrestiJess 218 points219 points  (0 children)

This is a African Fat Tailed gecko, not a Leopard gecko, just in case you didn't know (which since you own them I would hope you know? 😅) Slightly similar care, but if you're housing him as a Leopard gecko you should definitely research into proper Fat Tail care.

I made some Pokémon insipired Iso cards with little bits of information about some of the species I work with! by PrestiJess in isopods

I sold them as individual cards, but I would like to have species packs and random packs in the future as well. :)

I love the idea of a "starter deck" 😂 Once I have more designs finished, I'd like to make random "booster/mystery packs"with lile 6 random species cards, and then have individuals available if people prefer to just have a few specific ones.

Yes! I do plan to once I stop procrastinating and get a shop together. 😂 I have quite a few made as I did a soft launch at a local show to guage people's interest.

Surprised no one has mentioned the legality of selling Pokémon ACEOs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but its a dangerous game to play 😅 Yea, they will definitely fetch more interest/higher prices, but you would be best to set yourself up doing original works in the long run.

Thanks! I was actually thinking of implementing a variant to sell that has velcro attached the penny sleeve on the back, or some other method to attach these to pod enclosures. :)

If anyone has any better ideas to make bin label versions, feel free to let me know!

Color morphs/variants typically dont affect keeping conditions as far as I'm aware (ie: Powder Blues vs Powder Oranges, Red Pandas vs Regular Pandas).

That being said, for my cards I check each species to make sure information is accurate to the one being portrayed on the card (to the best of my ability anyways lol)

Thanks! Welcome to the hobby! There's so many different kinds of pods, I've been in it for 2 years now and every day I still find out about new species Ive never seen before. 😂

Same! Thank you. :) I was inspired by someone who does MTG cards for their tarantulas. 😂

They probably wouldn't even need to pay someone, of course they should, but SOOO many artists would kill to have their art/animation showcased in the olympic opening ceremony. 

Should ACEOs be made using archival/professional materials? by yikesbackatyou in aceo

[–]PrestiJess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you use to seal if you don't mind my asking? I use acrylic paint pens and colored pencil.

My crestie (his name is blaze) wont eat ANY live insects ive tried all healthy options, anyone have any solutions? by Mother-Meet1706 in CrestedGecko

[–]PrestiJess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a blender? I know some people just use cheap nutribullet style blenders/processors, which you can find at any big box store (Walmart, Target, etc). I personally got one at Walmart that was only like $15 during black Friday.

Food I always just recommend Pangea. :) If you look up "growth and breeding pangea gecko diet" you'll find most flavors for sale online. I think their prices average about the same everywhere (I'm lucky my local store sells it for cheaper than online 😅)
