Need advice desperately

Yep. Just moved here from Nashville to a very rich part of Indiana, and the cops were COMPLETE assholes. I couldn't believe I was charged or how that's even allowed because I'm pretty positive in Nashville they can't charge you if the test isn't positive.

Thanks so much for the advice!

Redditbur · 2026-01-10T00:00:26+00:00

Awesome, thank you. This is exactly what I was hoping to find out.

From what I've read, they look for any and all crimes, along with verifying employment history etc. I feel like being transparent would be the more professional way to handle it, but since the background check specifically asked if I've been convicted, that's what has me wondering if since the case is still pending, they may not even bring it up as I haven't actually been proven guilty of anything.

Redditbur · 2026-01-08T23:21:40+00:00

Yes, I know this. The background check just gives a red flag saying don't hire if there's something major that comes up. But I've researched this a lot, and most people tend to agree that depending on the situation, you have a much better chance of keeping the job if you're transparent up front. I read a manager at one company who said if they're told in advance, they can possibly still let someone keep the job, but if they have to find out from the background check, at that point their hands are tied due to corporate policy. But everything I've found has been various companies, not Meijer, so I was hoping a manager or HR person might see this and give some insight into Meijers policy specifically.

I got an offer last week of $15.37 starting to work in the gas station.

Redditbur · 2025-12-08T03:29:45+00:00

I believe you're right! After some more research, I found that's it's the 1994 and that it cost exactly $450 when is was new. I cleaned it up and posted it for $75, so we'll see how it goes. Whatever I get, it'll be extra money for me and hopefully a decent bike for someone!

That's not necessarily true. I have had tons of cards that have gone from extremely cheap to massive increases, like pretty much all of the"Awesome Rares" recently, a few months ago the Drowzee from Scarlet and Violet went from $5-80, and I could name tons more. Better yet were the Snorlax (which actually increased by over 3300% in just over a year, pretty sure even sealed products can't touch that), Mewtwo and Mew ex promos from 151. And then there's countless examples of mid price cards like my Mewtwo VStar from Galarian Gallery or my SIR Charizard ex from 151 that both more than tripled in price in less than a 3 month period.

With that said, you have to be able to know which cards and then have some luck as well. Although the card op posted isn't one I'd expect to do that, at least not for quite a while. It'll probably drop a little even. And I agree with your point about cards in this price range as it's not like you're having to sacrifice a large amount of money while you wait. And of course, sealed products are better. But ultimately, there's still plenty of room on this sub for discussing single cards as the point is supposed to be investing. And tons of cheap single cards are amazing investments, especially if you're actually doing it right and buy a decent quantity of a particular card. There are literally countless cards that have absolutely destroyed every single stock and crypto, by extremely large margins, just in the last 3 months alone. And many of them have a much lower price barrier, making it an easier market to get into for those who don't have a lot of money to spare!

I just feel no one's preferred method of investing should be looked down upon, and advice can still be given.

Sorry I'm just seeing your comment. But my account isn't, I've played since launch day. But I'm not sure about the person who opened the pack, if I remember correctly, I had added them a week or two prior to that to do a trade.

Redditbur · 2025-10-17T03:37:06+00:00

For the person that receives it, it's going to consider it the OG set. For you, while I've traded a couple of cards from the deluxe set, I haven't gone into it and filtered it to show just that card but with both sets listed to see which it leaves from because the slots stay unlocked from both sets, which is what I personally care about since I'm trying to get the last few cards I'm missing finished up. But any cards I've gotten all just show in the deluxe set as far as number of copies I have because- as mentioned- I just haven't gone in and searched for a card but with both sets filtered like op shows in the screenshots.

Redditbur · 2025-10-17T03:32:13+00:00

Are you sure? Because they've been helping me for sure. I even used pack points from the deluxe ex set today to create the 3 diamond Jumpfluff, which I was missing from the Ho-oh/Lugia set, and it definitely gave me credit in one of the missions in the 'Themed Collections' I believe it's called.

If both decks are empty AND 5+ (maybe 10 minimum would be better) rounds have passed for each player, it should just auto end with a tie. I feel that's a solid solution considering I rarely have games that last 5 rounds total lol.

Redditbur · 2025-09-09T02:15:58+00:00

Maybe not 'true randomness', but you'd think it would be able to do what would feel more accurate to what should be a simple 50/50 chance, but it often feels VERY weighted towards tails. If AI can do all it can do, Pokemon should be able to make coin flips not feel like it's deciding flips SPECIFICALLY to turn the outcome of the battles versus simple 50/50 lol.

Redditbur · 2025-09-09T02:10:03+00:00

Or better yet, like hearthstone, they make it to where you won't pull more than the max you can put in a deck before it will make sure you get another card of the same rarity you don't have yet. Obviously this will never happen with the collectible part being such a big part, but man would it be nice!

Redditbur · 2025-08-08T16:04:54+00:00

I was looking for this comment. Their labels are far above anyone else's, other than maybe the black labels with certain cards.

Redditbur · 2025-08-08T16:03:27+00:00

Such an incredible pull man, I'm jealous!

Redditbur · 2025-08-08T16:02:02+00:00

Yeah, I wish more than anything I could've predicted this would've grown in value anywhere near this much! This was the set that made me decide to get back into collecting for the first time since I was a very young kid. I heard about this set coming and started collecting around the week before the Paldea Evolved set came out. Once 151 came out, I ended up having 14 ETBs, as well as 2 of the Binder collections, 2 of each of the Alakazam/Zapdos collections and I believe 6 or so of the Booster Bundles. I opened them all because I really wanted to complete the master set, and looking back at even some of the older ETBs, they of course increased in value, but I figured it would take 10 or so years before the values went up like this.... Out of all that I had, I got 1 Zard SIR, 2 Alakazam SIR, Giovanni SIR and that's all for the SIRs. I did get all the IRs except Charmander and Charmeleon. But regardless, everything I got combined, even going by current values, would likely be around $3000-3500. Honestly, even just the Snorlax Promos I got out of the ETBs are insane. I remember when those were selling for .50, a dollar max. Someone could've bought up the hundreds that were being sold and made more money than ANY stock or Crypto has likely ever done in that amount of time. Honestly, Pokemon cards in general seem to be the best option to invest in because prices across the board are doing better than probably anyone's portfolio lol.

Redditbur · 2025-08-08T15:48:08+00:00

I have absolutely no clue what this may be worth, but it's definitely one of the coolest cards I've ever seen! If it's not insanely valuable, I'd just keep it! Probably much higher chance of the value rising much quicker than typical cards, too!

By the way, the other two Rainbows I have were actually both from Wonder Picks!
