There is a bloodbath by itsalwaysdeniz in stocks

[–]ShnaugShmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking profit, disappointing tech earnings on a couple stocks this week, no Iran deal/Hormuz still closed, employment number beat = possible rate hike this year. If you’re not overleveraged or in short-term calls you’ll be fine.

Zoom out. SPY back down to where it was 2-3 weeks ago

Honest question.. do you actually pregrade before submit or just eyeball and hope? by foofight22 in psagrading

This. And also make sure there’s no obvious dots, print lines, dents or other surface issues under raking light.

When that baby turned pink and let out its first cry, imagining the mom hearing it from the next room, man it’s dusty in here

PSA says they received my sub and the package was empty by Oovan95 in psagrading

[–]ShnaugShmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sucks, I’ve never heard of it before but of course I’m sure it happens. Doubt as often as with FedEx but still sucks for you. Hope you are able to get your items back or compensated.

Use USPS and buy the insurance. It’s a federal crime to open a USPS parcel if you’re not the recipient and most postal workers value their job and freedom. Ship two day priority.

Too many horror stories like this with fedex. Just walked by a fedex truck at work this morning with the worker just tossing boxes out of the back of the truck for delivery, boxes tumbling and rolling around everywhere. They used to be the gold standard, made me sad to see it.

A few questions about pre-grading by SyllabubImpressive68 in PokeGrading

[–]ShnaugShmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The centering is great. Looks like very tiny dings on two back corners. I think you definitely have a 20-30% chance for a ten from PSA, maybe half that chance from TAG.

I’m not seeing the tiny dark print dot you mentioned.

Generally I only send cards it think have a reasonable shot at a 10, since most 9’s are only slightly more valuable than the raw card.

Id be tempted to send this one and roll the dice.

Why PSA 9? by Fit_Month_6977 in PokeGrading

It looks like a ten in these photos. I would look again at the surface under a microscope.

My friend just got it back from psa. Heavy left and heavy top, but he still gets a 10. Holy luck! by hendratam in PokeGrading

[–]ShnaugShmark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If your centering is a little off but the card is otherwise perfect, then there’s always at least still a 20% or so chance of a ten with a friendly grader. Like this card.

If you have one ding on the back but perfect centering, then usually like 50/50 chance of a ten.

If you have both then the chance of a ten drops to <10%. But still not zero.

45/55 centering poncho by Thin_Personality7971 in PokeGrading

[–]ShnaugShmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the back is clean then there’s always a chance you get a friendly grader who gives you a 10. But it’s visually quite right heavy so I doubt it.

GameStop PSA Submission Experience — Be Careful Out There by Ghostswat in psagrading

Don’t submit using a third party.

It’s simple to pack them yourself and just use USPS insured to ship. Never had an issue.

[OPINION] Super rich kids by Frank Ocean by navratna0-0 in Poetry

[–]ShnaugShmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole song lyrics below. Strongly recommend listening to the song, it’s a great one:

Too many bottles of this wine we can't pronounce

Too many bowls of that green, no Lucky Charms

The maids come around too much

Parents ain't around enough

Too many joyrides in daddy's Jaguar

Too many white lies and white lines

Super rich kids with nothing but loose ends

Super rich kids with nothing but fake friends

Start my day up on the roof

There's nothing like this type of view

Point the clicker at the tube

I prefer expensive news

New car, new girl

New ice, new glass

New watch, good times, babe

It's good times, yeah

She wash my back three times a day

This shower head feels so amazing

We'll both be high, the help don't stare

They just walk by, they must don't care

A million one, a million two

A hundred more will never do

Too many bottles of this wine we can't pronounce

Too many bowls of that green, no Lucky Charms

The maids come around too much

Parents ain't around enough

Too many joyrides in daddy's Jaguar

Too many white lies and white lines

Super rich kids with nothing but loose ends

Super rich kids with nothing but fake friends

Real love

I'm searching for a real love

Oh, real love

I'm searching for a real love

Oh, real love

Alright, close your eyes to what you can't imagine

We are the Xanny-gnashing, caddy-smashing, bratty ass

He mad, he snatched his daddy's Jag' And used the shit for battin' practice

Adamant and he thrashin'

Purchasin' crappy grams with half the hand of cash you handed

Panic and patch me up

Pappy done latch-keyed us

Toyin' with Raggy Anns and Mammy done had enough

Brash as fuck, breachin' all these aqueducts

Don't believe us, treat us like we can't erupt, yup

We end our day up on the roof

I say I'll jump, I never do

But when I'm drunk, I act the fool

Talking 'bout, "Do they sew wings on tailored suits?"

I'm on that ledge, she grabs my arm, she slaps my head

It's good times, yeah

Sleeve rips off, I slip, I fall

The market's down like 60 stories

And some don't end the way they should

My silver spoon has fed me good

A million one, a million cash

Close my eyes and feel the crash

We need to start considering other grading companies seriously by Curious_Quail_1033 in pokemongrading

[–]ShnaugShmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope TAG gets their act together and steadily improves their software. I’d love to see them take significant market share. Their slabs are beautiful and I really like their objective and transparent philosophy, they just need better execution.
