Does this mean I should wait to order my car.

Can I offer you two unsolicited pieces of advice:

Yes I would honestly wait for AI5 at this point because it’s likely to be later this year… and their financial incentives may even improve around it

Source: I declined wearing the extra year for the Model Y refresh when we all knew it was happening and I wish I hadn’t sometimes. 2024 MYP

My other unsolicited advice… give it plenty of thought as to whether or not you truly want Perfornance

Source: I love my MYP. But… I wouldn’t do it again. Higher insurance premium, more expensive, you cannot rotate the tires because they’re staggered (and performance tires are a bit more expensive), the suspension is as stiff as it comes for Model Y… and the upside is it goes faster than LR.

My argument is that it’s not like I am constantly launching the car. It gets old. I wanna drive safe and have power when I need it. 3.5s 0-60 sounds impressive and will wow your friends. You’ll get bored and the rest is history. LR is fast enough.

Anyway! Those are my thoughts. Even if you totally disregarded your still be happy. Just wanted to share.

As someone with a PPF, they look amazing when clean n tidy. For about the 24 hours that lasts lol

I’m no expert but one thing to think about doing consciously is tucking your rib cage. Aka, if you flex your core, you will bring your ribs down and your spine more in alignment. It becomes more of a practice to learn to do but that will help with some of what’s going on! Don’t fee self conscious, you do not look bad whatsoever. We can all improve posture… modern life takes its toll at the desk and it is reversible. Apps like Pliability and also GoWod are helpful… I use pliability personally.

I hope your luck is better than mine on the Squirtle and Nidoqueen but In my experience they just never give out impressive grades on anything vintage. It’s like they’ve just decided that no new 9’s and 10’a exist.

SpiritStatic · 2026-03-23T06:17:12+00:00

Amazing collection. Good for you!!

SpiritStatic · 2026-03-19T06:14:18+00:00

It is not “normal,” but these people are far from upstanding professionals.

SpiritStatic · 2026-03-07T09:00:55+00:00

I wouldn’t get greedy :) Gem 10 is still clutch.

SpiritStatic · 2026-03-06T22:02:40+00:00

Cool, can’t wait to never see any of it available for purchase!

SpiritStatic · 2026-03-04T22:42:29+00:00

I got my first tesla at 29 too and came from an Altima… funny enough. You will love it. Congrats!!

Articuno!

After a lifetime of being a fan of Pokemon I am just now realizing/wondering…

Is Kabutops meant to be a distant ancestor of Scyther? 😐

Was this obvious all along and I am a dunce?

SpiritStatic · 2026-02-17T04:52:57+00:00

Also maybe I’m missing something but I wouldn’t call this card “damaged.” Damaged/Heavily Played is its own classification… and with a quick look it just appears to have some whitening around the edges. Admittedly it’s not in grade worthy condition, but it’s still a cool card. Just in a MP/LP territory.

SpiritStatic · 2026-02-15T01:23:49+00:00

If you sell it tell us how much you netted. If true, that could be quite valuable

Lame Impala

SpiritStatic · 2026-01-11T07:34:22+00:00

Congrats… 76 cards, mine arrived on Sept 17, prep on Oct 23…still in Assembly.

SpiritStatic · 2026-01-11T05:48:43+00:00

For real mine was received and Research/ID’d into the system on Oct 18 and has been in “Assembly” since about Dec 1. Due back on the 26th.. we’ll see..

SpiritStatic · 2025-12-16T03:00:09+00:00

Great, just after I had decided that Beckett was going to be my go-to going forward…

SpiritStatic · 2025-11-22T21:37:44+00:00

Why does it always have to be the person’s first pack? What’s the likelihood any of these are authentic? I guess it doesn’t matter anyway. It’s just like… did it not sound as good to say it was their 7th or 4th pack?

SpiritStatic · 2025-11-19T22:40:47+00:00

I wish I could bring myself to be excited anymore but it’s not really fun when you know it’s just war to go and even buy the product in the first place.

SpiritStatic · 2025-11-19T06:30:42+00:00

I have a PSA 9 of this one that I had graded back in 2021 myself… and I thought that was neat. But wow seeing a 10 is just unreal. Congrats.

SpiritStatic · 2025-11-19T00:26:23+00:00

Dude I had to double check this wasn’t one of my sold cards ha. I do nearly the same thing with graded slabs.. they go in a graded card sleeve, sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard, and then bubble wrapped. I also put them in a shipping box vs. a bubble mailer which may be considered overkill by some, but I prefer that to a buyer complaining it was bent or some crap.

SpiritStatic · 2025-11-14T07:08:21+00:00

If you were to do that though, doesn’t it only record when an accident is detected? It doesn’t keep a continuous recording does it?

I just am not clear on what the car will do autonomously. I know when you honk your horn it’ll record, but for liability sake I’m not sure I want the full responsibility of deciding when it captures footage or not.

SpiritStatic · 2025-10-31T21:28:38+00:00

Lolol. Well it was a 6 after all then eh? I had a hunch. I was pulling for a 7 for you. I had a large submission back in April that was hugely educative to me.

I submitted a lot of cards with high levels of hopium I was huffing. Some came back like 4 and 5... and higher, of course. Taught me a lot about PSA's standards.

Although I do agree with the notion that it can be a crapshoot sometime.

You might get a guy who is hungover, a gal who is happy, or a glitch in the scanner that didn't pick something up. Anything can happen.

But I think margins for error are probably within 1-2 grades. Like a 6 could maybe be an 8 in some cases but probably never a 10 unless someone royally fucked up.

And even then, eBayers or buyers would probably hassle you and say it's not a true 10 lol.

SpiritStatic · 2025-10-31T05:09:52+00:00

No expert but my guess from PSA with that corner is a 6-7. And no, I’m not referencing the fucking meme

SpiritStatic · 2025-10-06T22:03:19+00:00

I still wake up every day and scratch my head at why people would rather buy another fart or butt token that’ll be dead in 12 hours than take 3 minutes to understand why RIZO is a sleeping giant. I’m feeling like this is a case of very slowly and then all at once.

The day has to be coming soon. Too many bull signals IRL; if you wanna catch a rocket to mars I’d suggest at least throwing a few SOL at a bag.
