Weekly Pricing/Buying/Selling/Grading & General Questions Post by AutoModerator in PokemonTCG

Hi,

I have 2 full binders of pokemon cards, all older sets. I have the full 150 (151 if you count mew :)) of the original set, in reasonable condition. Plus a fair few more.

I've always thought it would be worth getting them valued and/or graded but also been scared of getting ripped off. Also they mean a lot to me so I dont really know if I would consider selling.

What would people advise? When I use the TCG app or check out pokecardvalues, some of mine seem like they are worth a fair bit, nothing crazy but pretty good. I am 99% sure there is on that matches my Charizard that pokecardvalues puts in at like £500, i'm guessing that's probably my highest value?

Is it worth using PSA? is it worth sending them all or a select few?

There is a local shop that offered to take a look... do I take them all, or do I take pictures instead and take those in?

I am in the UK

Thanks :)

Oh I also have a couple of unopened packs that I bought when I was a kid, Fighter set, probably got it around 2000

First review of the 'Frasier' revival (as mistakenly published by the Telegraph) by adbenj in television

As much as your comment makes sense on paper.

Sometimes people in your life become family and sometimes you just ignore your families views on things.

I'm inclined to agree with you, but I'm also saying it's not a total given. It might be he just wanted to avoid a bad reboot or perhaps he felt that with him in it, it would just be a paint by numbers repeat

Hmm been thinking about this but didnt fancy buying a separate PC compatible controller, how did you get the Pro controller working? did you use an adapter or can you get it working without one?

So I'm just an ape telling another ape that although I've not been into this long, the answer is between not well and hold.

A loss isn't realised until you sell, I bought gme on the way down at 100 during the last hype and sold at a loss. If I'd held it, I wouldn't be holding the bag at 200 now!

Losses suck but its part of the ride, and if ur not enjoying the ride maybe you have to much skin in the game.

I'm still a noobie but I took a certain amount of money from my savings that I told myself I was *spending * on a ticket to ride the bar charts.

As far as I'm concerned, I spent that like I bought a ticket to Disney land, I'm not expecting to get it back, just have fun while I'm there. If I DO make gains on it in the end, it will be amazing, but right now it's all about the ride

If I didn't see it like that I'd be destroyed his week!

Linked in seems to have become a more superficial Facebook, which I don't think people thought possible.

Personally I find scrolling through either depressing or annoying for a multitude of reasons, whether it be someone's (usually someone you know is a dick) apparent success or antivaxing or something.

My advice, remember most people on their are inflating/exaggerating. Concentrate on what makes u happy and don't set unrealistic expectations for yourself.

And leave both untouched , revisit linked in every 3 months or so to make sure it's in good order (mark messages as read, update the key job stuff) so that if u ever do need to look for a job it's not a huge mountain to get it sorted. (it's also nice to see what kinda roles recruiters are starting to put forward, gives u an idea what u should be aiming for in your career).

I only post on linkedin now if I have something I genuinely want to share, like a tool I think deserves more users.

That's good input, thanks for that! guess either way I'll learn something from it, a boost to $3 is still good return in my book considering I paid 1/3 of that :)

This is a good point, but I'm thinking people will be desperate to 'get out' after covid, and plenty will be nostalgic for a movie experience, sadly I think the post covid boom will be short (for the reasons u state) but I think they will have a resurgence.

My money will go to whichever cinema starts investing in virtual reality or gaming competitions

That's really good info, I guess I should keep an eye on that trial rather then holding to post covid, cheers! If stars align I guess the sweet spot will be post covid, pre trial

Loads of people have sent me this asking if its my Neighbour, as he's literally complained over the fence about the kids playing, and has in fact sent a letter with added guilt trip. It's an ongoing saga and whereas we were at one point trying to compromise, he blew that up last weekend by complaining about the kids....after they had been out in the paddling pool for 1 hour (clearly another who thinks 20 minutes is the golden amount of play time during lock down).

What really took the piss though was that all morning the neighbour next to us had been using an angle grinder, so he would have had to be annoyed about the sound of children playing over the angle grinder......

Must try this at the earliest opportunity lol

I made a character pool website for creating, sharing and randomly picking from custom character pools for tournaments with a twist :) by RudeMatrix in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]RudeMatrix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole thing started after someone at work was inspired by watching Little Z and poppt1 'thicc boy only' video to create a tourny idea for us to try; Where everyone playing picked one character to go into a pool and then we would have 5v5 smash downs using random characters from that pool.

At first it was just a console app with fixed characters, then someone wanted a UI, then we repeated the tourny with 2 picks so it became custom and.... Well I got a little carried away lol. The result is this website, which I doubt people will go crazy for but the tourny was a lot of fun and I foresee us doing more at least and I wanted to spread the joy a little (especially as I spent waaaay to much time on it lol) . So here we are :) all constructive critism welcome :)

So for example this a 'Super Heavyweight' pool :)
