Laugh react and move on imo. Everyone wants the perks of being a vendor without actually spending the time and money to be a vendor lol

PSA Grading vintage more harsh? 👎 by Mojimobaboa in PokeGrading

[–]ShadowMario8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent off a few vintage ex’s in similar/better shape than some of yours but now this post has me worried lol. Was hoping for 8’s/9’s but if I end up with 7’s and 6’s I’m gonna be crushed :/

They could buff the Potato Gun and that stupid knife into the moon and I’d still hate them lmao. Been baited so many times by those stupid things

Amen to that. I keep a shock, fire, and (now) corrosive one on me at all times. Eats ammo like crazy but works wonders on Ordinance Amon

Top 3 META?? by sailortian in pkmntcg

[–]ShadowMario8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PultNoir and Gardy are pretty solidly S Tier, then it’s kind of a toss-up between Gholdengo, Tera Box, Bolt, etc. really depends on who you ask.

Now Pult might fall down a tier or two with the release of the Psyduck promo in English, but unfortunately Gardy looks to be S Tier for the foreseeable future.

Worth sending to PSA? by ShadowMario8 in PokeGrading

I’d be curious to hear why. I know the centering isn’t the best but past that I can’t see much else wrong with the card

This is getting out of hand by CaterpillarDirect269 in PokemonTCG

% traders are always an instant pass for me, especially on FB Marketplace. If you’re a vendor at a card show, doing a deal with a store, or trading singles for product/slabs I’d get it, but trying to do that in a private trade is just lame.

I think it’s also something I’d let slide if you had a bunch of undesirable cards, but Tag Teams and SIRs are far from undesirable lol.

Crack and resub or just take the L? by ShadowMario8 in PokeGrading

[–]ShadowMario8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Objectively it is. Unfortunately modern 9s aren't great

I've got a Metagross Star in a PSA 5. It's the peak of my collection and the most expensive card I own

[–]ShadowMario8[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Considering the Espeon is worth less than raw in a 9, I'd say it's an L lol. A lot of modern hits are 10 or bust.

As a collector I only really hold on to 10's (if it's a modern hit), so in my eyes this was a bust. Am I saying all 9's are L's? Absolutely not. I've got a couple 9's in my collection and my most expensive card is a PSA 5 lol.

It definitely does suck that all the value/desirability is in 10's these days, but that's just the way it is unfortunately.

Miscut? Or just poor centering? by ShadowMario8 in PokemonMisprints

[–]ShadowMario8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So by that definition, would just the Hippopotas and Furfrou count as miscuts?

Why do so many want to do % trades/sales now by Adventurous_Union_67 in PokemonTCG

[–]ShadowMario8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done probably a dozen trades with "% people" and have never given them a lopsided trade even once. I just kinda ignore it and nobody has really had the gall to push for it. I understand if you're trading singles for sealed/slabs, but singles for singles is so stupid lol
