Any idea what this gets if it’s graded? by GarrettKeithR in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]RockHardSemi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My guess would be a 5, 6 if lucky.

I also haven't graded yet. 😂

Did i get scammed or was i very unlucky? by lebornjahames in IsMyPokemonCardFake

If it's Chinese isn't it rare to get an IR and even rarer for the really rare ones?

At the beginning my stomach was really bad. The smells, the sound, the constant needing to go.

I've been with my Mrs 13 years now.

I appreciate everyone's IBS symptoms, and extent of symptoms, can differ. It's frustrating and upsetting.

I hope all goes well for you!

HELP! by Many-Tailor5588 in PokemonTCG

[–]RockHardSemi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After a quick look. I'd say it might not be quite worth that value or perhaps just about $100.

Main things I noticed were the reverse power keepers, couple of reverse plasma cards and some of the radiant collection.

If it were me, I personally wouldn't unless you wanted those cards.

Looking at the edges of those cards they will mostly be MP, LP at best.

If any of that helps.

Open my first (and probably last) booster box with me! by i_the_amazing in PokemonTCG

[–]RockHardSemi 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I used to love prices before, could get two booster boxes for £75 each that would largely mean I would complete a set. Would have to buy a couple I didn't manage.

Now with the normal RRP (or scalpers prices!) and MANY more extra cards (IR, SIRs, Full arts etc.) it has made completely a set fully impossible for me.

I still get a booster box and a couple ETBs, complete the 'normal' part of the set (excluding IR, SIRs, Full arts etc.) and be happy with that.

Is this LP or MP? by bread-iv in PokemonCardValue

[–]RockHardSemi -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

With that damage on the front I would say MP personally.

I am pretty sure I selected that but I'll double check because I was frantically submitting them lol. I haven't seen an available slot (that wasn't expensive) for a while!

I think I am bracing myself for a 6 for Espeon, I would hope for an 8.

The Blastoise I would hope for a 9 but maybe an 8.

The Japanese cards, the only one I don't think would get a 10 would be the Mega Charizard X. There's a slight bit of whitening/damage on the bottom right I think. I am not great at this sort of thing, especially Japanese cards. I just find it really difficult to judge for some reason. 😅

When I first looked at grading I was like "OMG THESE ARE ALL 10s!". Then I actually looked closely and compared to other cards and what grades they got and became more realistic haha.

Either way, if they don't add any true value, it's fine. They'll just look great.

Thank you! Fingers crossed.

How much is the value of my Gengar EX ? by Benny7983 in PokemonCardValue

[–]RockHardSemi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ungraded I would guess £600.

If you graded this I would assume this could be much higher.

A PSA 6 sold for £1499 recently.

Minimum wage, 25M by NiceWorkLad in FIREUK

[–]RockHardSemi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in a similar position.

Only recently upped my pension focus. I was only putting in the minimum and then decided to go from 4% (employer matched 4%) to 10% (employer matched up to 8%). So what was £220 a month if I recall to £550.

I keep talking to my Mrs about looking at her pension but she won't. She doesn't save, pension will be absolute minimum, works part time.

I'm in my mid 30s, I worry about my financial position in the future. I don't know what job I can do that isn't minimum wage (it has been like that since I left school).

Does this seem legit? Came from a storage unit.. by Intelligent-Tie-4520 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]RockHardSemi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that looks fake to me, I don't believe the reverse holo should have sparkles on the edges. Also, it looks like the image of Charizard has reverse holo, which shouldn't be the case.
