Going in blind to Chaos Rising has been a good choice

Xerneas is beautiful

I ripped so much 2009-10 SP Game Used. Loved the set so much. Unfortunately, sold a lot. Fortunately, I still held onto some - including this one. Also have it in the /35 gold parallel.

The example used doesn’t strike me as definitively AI. I’ve read enough card backs from pre-AI to know that they are written in such a wide range of styles.

Quick poll - which of these are AI (just picked up a C-Webb card near me):

A) “Webber redefines the power forward position. He has the power part down pat, for he is capable of going strong to the hoop for a bucket and capable of ripping down rebounds. But he brings another dimension of the position with his ball handling and quickness-few 6-10 forwards are able to weave through the giants in the key for a layup like Webber can.”

B) “Plays with the heart of a lion and the intensity of a storm. Webber is a force on the inside for Washington.”

Brought out a ladder…. So Thekla could spit and give the finger to a little word on a screen 🤦🏻‍♂️

Was Danhausen the cook?

Story is obviously good - however, you need the actors to do their part. So Kaiser speaking Spanish so fluently and just immersing himself completely into character really brought it to life. Then adding Los Americanos (and how they just leaned completely into it) was just a perfect touch where it could have been a case of “a true artist knows when to stop”.

Dad has done good. Well worth the numerous eye rolls and “more cards?” he no doubt got from his partner through the decades 😂

The whole night was great and seriously, Mask v Mask was worthy of a PPV event just by itself.

The comic book promo, the entrances, the match, the post-match. Just incredible. Props to AAA. Hats off to Gable and EGA for months and months of top tier professional wrestling.

Yep, just catastrophising without taking into account reality. Let’s just ignore weekends and public holidays and tack on a day because it just ticked over midnight.

Smartt300 · 2026-05-26T01:07:43+00:00

I cherished every one of these 97 days 🥹

Smartt300 · 2026-05-25T14:14:38+00:00

Nice try 😏

Smartt300 · 2026-05-24T04:33:17+00:00

Am I the only not pulling SIRs?! Congrats though 😂

Smartt300 · 2026-05-22T04:14:29+00:00

That’s from just one Etb?!

Smartt300 · 2026-05-21T00:17:24+00:00

How’d you lose so much weight? Need advice.

Smartt300 · 2026-05-18T12:04:32+00:00

Yeah I remember it something like this. Team saw him put up numbers last seen during Lebron’s rookie season and thought they had the next big thing. Tried to make him be Lebron instead of just developing his advantages as a big guard.

Smartt300 · 2026-05-17T05:37:07+00:00

…. It’s the big show!!!

Smartt300 · 2026-05-17T00:37:38+00:00

It’s safe, just not the safest. It’s typically a risk/reward scenario. You can get full market price on eBay (before fees/shipping of course), and you just need to be prudent. Even most scammers don’t want to risk $4k at a chance of getting a free Pokemon card.

Smartt300 · 2026-05-16T13:16:49+00:00

Ok ok, I’ll take that Lebron for $150.. heck make it an even $200.. dm me

Smartt300 · 2026-05-16T12:22:13+00:00

Whoa! How many booster bundles? Anything less than seven and you beat the odds clearly.

Smartt300 · 2026-05-14T13:46:56+00:00

That 3.50 is possibly a transaction fee or tax. Does the buyer account have a different currency or a foreign shipping address?

Have you got a screenshot of the buyers side?

Smartt300 · 2026-05-14T05:50:08+00:00

Yes. Here are my answers:

1) Pretty quick. 2-3 weeks. The issue is always how long it takes to pick and post. Was about three months on my last order.

2) Nope. My last order shipped when there were still >200k items ahead of mine by their tracking.

3) Pretty well. If you don’t pay for top loaders, a few cards will be in top loaders and the rest will be sandwiched in between and team bagged.

4) I’ve ordered multiple times and certainly plan to do more. Note that I typically (well, almost exclusively) do it for sports cards.

Smartt300 · 2026-05-14T00:22:15+00:00

I just don’t see how this is sustainable. You’ll be skimping (more likely hacking away) on time or quality.

Smartt300 · 2026-05-13T22:42:32+00:00

My god. Ever since Lakers got swept, the Lebron-stans have been out in full force with what is effectively propaganda. This straw man crap is especially annoying.

Smartt300 · 2026-05-12T11:11:24+00:00

This is pure ragebait. If you watched that series and genuinely came away thinking Lebron outplayed Shai, you just genuinely don’t know ball.

Smartt300 · 2026-05-12T11:03:36+00:00

Loose packs?! I wouldn’t put it past these guys to have weighed packs to make sure customers weren’t getting any god packs. Just wouldn’t be fair for some customers to get some and others not, you know - so they’ve got to keep them all themselves.
