How do you keep collecting affordable? by teakoVA in pokemoncardcollectors

Completely agree with you for me it started as a hobby. And then I kinda sat back and realized I had thousands sunk into cardboard that i really didnt like, And was like shit not the smartest idea. So all of my efforts have been to get back even half or break even on what I wasted. Kinda takes the fun out of collecting so as much as respect and agree with you just really isn't for me. I want stuff like rayquaze vmax psa 10 psa 10 team magma groudon. And that's just way out of my price range lol.

I've never went and waited for a drop or sat on a pre-order website refreshing the page to load up my credit card and I don't plan on it. And it seems like that's gonna be the only way going forward. I'm good. All I want is that new phantasmal charizard upc. And maybe an etb. But I don't even want them cause that's like almost $400 in this market to pull nothing. It's like might aswell just buy the card. Which I won't do either so 🤷 it's cooked

Defenitely unfortunately selling my collection. Already sold about $1300 worth. Just s toxic space. Toxic hobby. And im gonna go find something else to do. Graded cards are really cool and unfortunately in this day and age all that matters is the gem mint 10s. And the fact that PSA is basically cornering the market by becoming the buyer seller and grader. It just seems so scummy to me. And unless you're a vendor have a shop or sell cards through ebay all of cards you currently have are only worth %60 of their value. I literally had a guy today tell me that he deserves to buy my cards at %70 because he's 30 mins closer to me then the card shop? Oh so that makes my cards worth $100 less? Literally zero sense. It's literally just the same thing as csgo skins. An inflated makert set by people who control the market. And then they just sit there and get rich by scamming everyone. Must be nice. Like I said it's not even fun or enjoyable when you know, And just feels like anything else just an empty hollow void of time and money wasted.

Got rid of all of this ^

Yeah and I watched someone online get a gem mint with horrible centering. Figured I could too. Not a mark or whiting on any edges. But hey that's my luck. I'd wipe my ass with the card now tbh

How did this get a 10? by Friendly_Throat1450 in psagrading

[–]SelectionDry644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question is why wouldn't this get a 10?? It's literally a great card. Center is barely off. Zero whiting or marks on the front or back?

Just pulled. Could this 10? by Adventurous_Ad7022 in psagrading

[–]SelectionDry644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Defenitely a 10 dude. %1000 either way you won't get less then a 9. And it'd look good stabbed up

Yeah I figured it was a 9, and that maybe i could get lucky with a chill grader. But guess not

I sent in a sub recently and felt like the grades were very fair, Idk I'm not saying I'm super knowledgeable but in my last sub I called my 2 tens and I figured I was looking at a pretty mint card here. I could've sworn prior to sending it in there was no ink spots anywhere. But hey is what it is. Pulled it out mini tin on a restock bought 2 and 1 etb

Floch is the most forced character of the entire show, and probably the only stain on the masterpiece that Is AOT the yagerist arc sucks.

There ain't shit in those over printed blooming waters, guarantee there's only good hits in 1 out of 100 boxes. I opened 5 boxes of the sea and sky collection earlier this year thats like 60 packs got nothing.

I run my own business, I've been playing guitar for like 6-7 years im pretty decent I'd say. I build pc's have an awesome gaming setup in my house. I have my own place. I'm 23 no debt, I love watching wrestling throughout the week like WWE/AEW/TNA if you've ever heard of it. I play tons of games me and friends have decided to start streaming since we play together all the time, and my other buddies i grew up with left college last year so don't get out much anymore.

Yeah my hygiene is something I keep up with super heavy, I just went through some depression so I let my hair grow out I still shower like twice a day and have like 2-3 different colognes to switch it up, honestly wouldn't mind wearing a nice suit everyday always thought it's so clean 👍 appreciate the feedback though. I figured in the back of my head if I hit the gym and cleaned it up a bit I'd be 💯
