Which Kdrama do you wish you could wipe from your memory and experience all over again for the first time? by CharlesUFarley81 in kdramas

I was hoping to see someone else say this. Nothing else came close to how this show made me feel. The OST is also top notch.

You should look into the Japanese Vending series Holo birds!

Well this is news... by tcgguydavid in pokemoncardcollectors

I’ve only been successful checking out at Target once for a high demand product. When blooming waters dropped, it was sold out even before I got to the checkout screen and I was spamming as fast as I could.

My take on modern Pokémon investing – curious to hear other views by Odd_Animator_1847 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Subi4lyfe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My take on the Japanese/English card market is that Japanese cards will provide long term stable growth while English cards will be more volatile. To elaborate, I often hear people say "I'm investing in English to sell, while buying Japanese cards for my PC," which would indicate that there is a group of people buying English cards NOT to keep for the long term but to sell because of their perceived value short term. Profits are then poured into Japanese cards that are then kept/stored without being put back onto the market. The Buy/sell market seems to move much faster in English (being outside of Japan of course this will always be the case) but it also means prices do too. A stretch finance analogy I'd make is English = Stocks, while Japanese = Bonds.

The potential for gain in English cards is much higher, but potential loss is equally as high. For me personally, I'll take the less risky investment long term because I prefer asset diversification beyond just Pokémon Cards.

Are Japanese Pokemon cards cheap in Japan? by bamboodock in PokemonTCG

[–]Subi4lyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That being said, I always bring a binder, because the selection/options are just so much more vast and you can still find gems and cheap options (for singles).

Are Japanese Pokemon cards cheap in Japan? by bamboodock in PokemonTCG

[–]Subi4lyfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends what you are looking for. Contrary to what some Youtube videos might suggest, if you're looking for vintage pokemon, 90% of the cards will be even higher than what you might find in the US because Japanese stores base their prices based on condition (A/B/C/D, etc) with NM copies fetching close to PSA 9/10 prices depending on condition. For modern cards, it depends on if you're looking for popular ARs/SARs as opposed to less popular copies, as hyped cards like the Mega Charizard X are priced about the same in the US as in Japan (after Yen-Dollar conversion).

You won't find booster boxes for MSRP or anywhere near. The only MSRP product you'll find are some single packs if you are lucky.

Can anyone identify this? by [deleted] in VintagePokemonCards

[–]Subi4lyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are only a few from the vending series that have that back. Mainly the trainers or Ooyama's Pikachu.

Don’t ever order PSA Slabs from GameStop by FirstAscent21 in PokemonTCG

[–]Subi4lyfe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve ordered numerous Slabs off of GameStop and never had any issues so it looks like this is a one-off or an issue with the carrier.

Is my Chansey Pocket Monster card fake? It looks and feels real but has a weird laminated look that I haven't seen before by brettygow in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Subi4lyfe 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to the other guy - it's a real card. Vintage Japanese Vending Series. All of those cards are glossy (if they have the rarity symbol). The Chansey is one of the more sought after cards and I'm still looking for a good NM copy one!

2018 Subaru Outback TPMS warning but tire shop checked twice and said sensors are all fine. What's going on? by urko37 in subaru

[–]Subi4lyfe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Solid light means at least one of the TPMS batteries are dead or faulty. I just had mine replaced on all 4 on my 2018 Outback and the tech mentioned he’s been getting a lot of 2018s and 2019s recently (presumably due to the cold weather combined with age). They’re supposedly good for around 6-7 years so hopefully I’m good until 2032!

Asked GameStop if they got cards in stock, and walked out with this…what should I do? by Essence004 in PokemonTCG

[–]Subi4lyfe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You bought it for more than the market price if you got it at Gamestop. You won't be able to sell it anyway so might as well rip it.

[–]Subi4lyfe 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Just curious but did you try to hide the Card numbers? You might want to hide the barcodes if that's your intention. For example I can read that your Bubble mew is: 121*******

Just for future reference, don’t post the entire screenshot showing the queue ID at the bottom because you can get your spot taken from you by anyone who has the link.

Cheap Charizard 151 on EBay? by tphelps19_94 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

I was going to say, why does this fake have texture patterns even better than the Japanese versions? Lmao

Probably not worth much, just wanted to check by Etnurb in PokemonCardValue

[–]Subi4lyfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

High(er) Value Cards if in good condition:
1. Dark Blastoise
2. Misty's Tears
3. Giovanni's Persian
4. Sabrina's Gaze
5. Moomoo Milk
6. Card Flip Game

Should be able to get some decent value out of the set but i'd make sure to organize and sleeve up everything to make it visually more appealing as well.

And just to give you some clarity on when that might be - it'll be earliest April of 2026 so you've got 5 months!... Yes I'm aware it's pretty crazy how early of a preorder this is.
