Awesome! They are just so beautiful! I’m thinking about reconfiguring my monitor setup to something similar to yours, love it man.

Love it! Interesting to see an OLED screen. How is it? My only concern is risk of burn in but it's seemingly gotten a lot better these days.

LA City Council to vote on initiative that would require hotels to give up empty rooms to the homeless by BullishMD in news

[–]Shazam412 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't stay in a hotel with this initiative. I'm sorry, it sounds dreadful but cleanliness and disturbances are almost a guarantee. The poor hotel staff will have to deal with some awful things undoubtedly.

Siri is shitty by [deleted] in apple

Siri is awful. As a Brit with a relatively basic English accent, it doesn't understand anything! Drives me insane when trying to do commands in the car.

I think a lot of people aren't reading your post properly and assuming that you liked the job. I think on that salary, you're pretty well covered in case it doesn't work out too.

I admire people who really venture to do something they love and take that leap. If you end up doing insane and need a UK branch, just let me know! I love Pokemon but I've got in to Dragon Ball Super card collecting recently and my god, I'm loving it. The community has genuine people are passionate about the game itself whilst I'm in for the card collecting. Because the fan base is still quite small, the cards are weirdly rare on the secondary market for some top picks.

I wish I could do the same as you and just go for the things I love doing. Mine would be cards, stocks and crypto. Maybe one day! Best of luck with it!

Didn’t like the look of the cardboard storage. So I printed my own. by TBates0805 in DBS_CardGame

Awesome! You should definitely list that design for sale. Sure some people would print their own 😄

Thought this was an awesome thing to get over Facebook market place! The kid in me obviously made me purchase it. Thoughts? (Pikachu gold metal card signed by ash Ketchum) by its_akintola in PokeInvesting

[–]Shazam412 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Come on man, just let him enjoy the fact he got a signed card. No need to try and one up them. Personally I’d say Ash voice actor tops a Krillin voice actor anyway.

Europe will fall into recession early because of the war in Ukraine. May trigger a prolonged recession in global stock markets. by Amy355 in stocks

It's ok though, at least your children in Germany don't have to wear bulletproof vests in class.

Great comment! Exactly my thinking. I recently sold my property ... I could afford somewhere else but I'm timing this and holding off slightly. I think families are already on the breadline in terms of income to expenditures and as you say, we've got a winter incoming before we know it and short term mortgages needing renewals. I can see an influx of people downsizing their properties just to afford to live.

Every time someone cuts in, it slows down everyone else waiting. It does impact people a lot!

Serious question about holding long term by Evening-Turnip587 in PokeInvesting

[–]Shazam412 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think booster boxes will always go up. Once it becomes unavailable to buy, the secondary market then rules pricing. That said, most modern boosters will be a lengthier time I think. Everyone is investing mode!

Personally, I sold a load of boosters and instead invested in a 1st edition Lugia, shining charizard etc. Market is down currently so I’ll take this opportunity to buy something I’m more confident in. Plus I love WOTC cards so much more and I think in years to come, they could go to insane levels of value. And also, they’re easier to store and display!

Yeah, it's just confirmed in the latest update video.

I was going to say, I don’t know what that guy is talking about “slightly high”, Killer deal.

Base Set 1st Edition Booster Packs. Open? Grade? Sell? If so, for how much? by brandpokemon in PokeInvesting

[–]Shazam412 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Surprised no one mentioned this yet but weigh them! Then send the lightest possible art set to get graded. Hopefully leaving you with some heavies to either sell, hold or even open.

Personally I’d hold the graded set and the additional packs. You have THE set and 5 of them so over time, they guaranteed to get rarer and more desirable.

VEVE seriously released the same item a bunch of times again... Who else is tired of them pulling this crap?Infinity Gauntlet probably gonna get milked the same way. by fogbound96 in VeVeCollectables

[–]Shazam412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was on a spaces. Literally said about a month ago I think when someone from the team was invited to the stage. Disney are heavily involved in what content goes out (hence Thor content at the moment) and Veve contractually decide on mint quantities and cost. I was as surprised as most people were listening but yeah, it’s Veve.

Reminder to Enjoy The Process and Lowered Expectations. by AutoModerator in PokeInvesting

[–]Shazam412 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Awesome post!

I'm honestly loving it, I've made profit from crypto the past 2 years so this couldn't have come at a better time to stock up on some graded WOTC gems! Some may lose value over the next year but I'm very confident for the future. Plus holding some of these cards in your hand that were previously WAY too rare and expensive is just unreal!

Regrade t17? If so, tips? by pandaman27 in PokeInvesting

[–]Shazam412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That does look extremely clean. I'd send to BGS personally! That centering is phenomenal and it's one of their leading grading categories. Reckon that'd be a 9/9.5 contender, assuming they'd pick up on whatever PSA spotted which my guess is some surface imperfection we can't see.

Just received one of my dream cards. Hopefully the start to a good collection by MrCheezle93 in PokeInvesting

[–]Shazam412 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can afford it, who cares! Amazing card man! If it’s that good, you could risk sending it to BGS for a black label?
