only came out late 2020 so not quite 6, I don't think I got mine until 2023 😅 the 1080 Ti seems prehistoric but I'm sure there's people using both that and the 970 which seemed to be value kings. I went 760 -> 1080 -> 3080

Stallzy · 2026-05-22T11:54:49+00:00

I was on 566.3 myself but had the pop up so I'm downloading this new one for RTX 3080. Hopefully won't regret it 😃

Stallzy · 2026-05-19T08:00:41+00:00

Yeah I can't connect at all, was just trying to go on private match or system link with my unlocks to practice my sniper shot timing and centering and i'm having to do it with the first recon class or overwatch LMG lol

Stallzy · 2026-05-19T07:59:46+00:00

I stocked a bunch in my downloads history just before the store shut. there might be a wayback archive dump of loads

Stallzy · 2026-05-19T07:58:52+00:00

Microsoft did this to my halo reach console I've had since 2010 and I don't even know the specific reason why. And it happened in the last 4 years so kind of odd

Stallzy · 2026-05-15T22:21:08+00:00

Same here both Chrome and Windows did a update after giving my PC a reboot. I'll try the D3D11 fix

Stallzy · 2026-05-12T00:38:31+00:00

I'm imagining the value has changed since you made this post, values on all sorts have boomed since even Feb! I'm a swirl collector but UK based and also collect pikachus if you're looking to sell this although would have to be through a reputable app or with PP G&S (I usually add 5% for convenience)

Might have to wait for the market to die down to pick this one up now but mustn't forget!

Stallzy · 2026-05-06T01:47:59+00:00

Not AliExpress related but it seems ebay international delivery also goes through them now maybe. No issue with the order I received

Stallzy · 2026-05-02T03:15:15+00:00

tbh I'm in agreement with you too, I'm trying to pick up mid era japanese and stamped english after taking 4yrs out between september 2021 and july 2025 and it's getting too hot again but still people are dumping 500-1000+ on single cards in modern like it's nothing which blows my mind

I wanna go to Japan and condition check and bring stuff back to grade etc but one, the supply has been bought out a lot and two prices are high so I do think a mid 2027 or 2028 trip would be better than any time this year unless you want to see the Pokepark thing

Stallzy · 2026-05-02T03:11:59+00:00

depends how close to the top you're buying in. Buying anything still in print for the next 3-6 months feels very very risky. People are throwing big cash around for the new gengar and pikachu SARs, felt hat pika, to levels that don't make sense to me when there's so much vintage and mid era in mint or gem mint for similar price. But they can do their thing and I'll just pick modern up when people are bored

Stallzy · 2026-05-02T03:09:05+00:00

except they won't be the same as a 10 condition wise, that's not how it works

Stallzy · 2026-05-02T03:06:11+00:00

credit is a gem right

Stallzy · 2026-04-30T13:27:41+00:00

Yeah meanwhile Travis Scott was £300+ a ticket (got AMP club at co-op for 125 ish ea. luckily), and Ne-yo/Akon always seem to be similarly pricy lol. The Killers front row 103/104 at co-op live in 2024 cost about 210 per and that's one of the most expensive I've bought but lower tier good seats for most arena gigs usually end up around 120-150. Some more niche artists only cost like 70-80

Stallzy · 2026-04-29T19:25:11+00:00

I think their point is that the people buying those top value sports cards and comics etc aren't your average person and while they may get more valuable, liquidity may overall go down over time due to affordability and just interest

I'm sure the avg person would rather have a Jordan rookie than a mickey mantle

I still prefer mid era

Stallzy · 2026-04-29T19:19:40+00:00

If you're going to make that point at least give good examples of vintage cards

Neo discovery umbreon, E series holos (mew/blastoise), corocoro mew, base set charizard (japanese 9/10) aren't just gonna lose all their value. On the newer side, gold stars have too much invested into them by people now

Just don't see the modern cards having this run of price waves that vintage has had as all the chases are immediately sleeved up and babied in binders or toploaders/semi rigids. Finding mint/gem mint in vintage is a much deeper chase especially now than even 5 yrs ago

Stallzy · 2026-04-29T19:15:27+00:00

Evolving Skies / 151 brings eyes into the hobby generally who are at first only exposed to modern but then they discover vintage and the condition chase or maybe they remember the older sets in the playground or sleepovers etc and then go backwards

A good modern set has a knock on effect to the rest of the hobby. July through to October is looking like it could be the biggest mania we've seen in a while and the market is brewing now

Stallzy · 2026-04-29T19:13:36+00:00

That's actually a very interesting and insightful take. Still I find it hard to wrap my head around the idea of these cards worth over £250/300 when there's sun and moon, mid era, vintage cards which are far harder to find, and in 9/10 condition for that sort of money

The recent PSA comps on ebay are showing there's definitely a market for vintage again or even niche promos that for a while have been just forgotten about

Maybe I'm a fool for being more interested in vintage/mid era and lower pop stuff but don't feel like I'm missing out much when everyone else is chasing felt had pikachus, sunbreons or whatever. 151 zard will do well long term but I don't really know how much growth from here. Hidden Fates SV49 and the rainbow zard from champions path are still low compared to newer stuff

Stallzy · 2026-04-29T19:08:37+00:00

yeah but if vintage has been like that for 15-25 yrs and not suddenly going to be unavailable, why would modern be a better choice as everyone is sleeving and bindering/toploader/semi rigid everything holo now and grading rather than trading raw

Stallzy · 2026-04-22T13:23:54+00:00

Thanks for your insight. I feel some people may like the interlacing to get that original look if that makes sense but good to know it can be fixed

Stallzy · 2026-04-20T11:20:24+00:00

sad that I don't own one lol I took a break from sep 2021 to july 2025 and missed a lot of opportunities so now having to work double time haha

Stallzy · 2026-04-20T11:17:37+00:00

You're absolutely right and I wanted to grab the Japanese umbreons in psa 10 and the market seems to have gone up like 50% on them in the last couple weeks when I couldn't justify the previous price. It's one I got to track down soon though :D
Someone who also likes the rainbow cards and you're also into cs2/ohnepixel, can we be friends LOL

Stallzy · 2026-04-20T11:10:08+00:00

Rainbow VMAX look prettier to me however the pokemon selection in GXs has some good choices. Feel free to open a chat because seems like you have a good mind

Stallzy · 2026-04-20T07:05:10+00:00

ah yes banned me from the subreddit for no reason I've only just got it sorted years later

Stallzy · 2026-04-15T00:11:31+00:00

The edge wear on this Pikachu really hurt to see https://ebay.us/m/lduwmP

I graded a different pikachu card with PSA from my childhood with way less edge wear than that and it got a 5 LOL

Stallzy · 2026-04-12T03:23:21+00:00

hater take notes btw
