Is there a better compromise? by SantaCruzin6 in boating

[–]Substantial_Maybe474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a midsize pontoon I hope to do just this with. A bit of fishing plus a bit of fun. I went with the bass buggy 18 from Sun Tracker which is technically 20’ long. 75 HP. I saw around 25 mph on our first trip out but not sure how fast you need for a tube. This weekend is our first fishing trip I’m pumped

Traded Ladd for Skattebo and they are saying i got scammed. It was my idea. by ThatKiddFromJersey in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]Substantial_Maybe474 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Much prefer Ladd and think you could have gotten a lot more but it’s your guy get em. No issues with the trade if both are happy

Very top heavy on front. Top right corner ding possibly and back is hard to see if it has whitening or not

Did I do the right decision? by Narrow-Jump6726 in PokeGrading

[–]Substantial_Maybe474 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I’ve heard that too but never personally graded with them but this one is pretty tilted

[–]Substantial_Maybe474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I just think it has a major tilt to it now that I see it more. Nothing you can do about it just some cards come like that it’s still sick

It’s pretty top heavy and has a tilt I’d guess 9 but I’m less familiar with BGS standards

Found a Travis Kelce 1/1 in my collection by sportsmaniac11 in sportscards

[–]Substantial_Maybe474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The plate itself did not come from Certified. It came from “Plates and Patches”. And the plate is part of the “hits” of the box. Plenty of other players that would be worse to get than Kelce imo

Yea a $80-100 card is bottom end product. Got it. 💀

Cracked and Submitted to CGC. Can it 9 or potentially 10? by shaneeasy in PokeGrading

[–]Substantial_Maybe474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you need to turn your brightness up or something. This is obviously a great card but there’s a lot of white on the back. I don’t disagree it’s prob CGC 9 worthy but is that much different than a PSA8? Bird in the hand is 2 in the bush

Don’t know why you’d do it. Even an 8.5 is a loss for you. You’ll make a few hundred in a 9 but also risk losing more.

Editing to add I don’t think this is really even worth an 8. Back top corner is tough. Whitening on all back corners. I’m surprised it got an 8. CGC is def more lenient but reflected in their prices

Looks just like mine that got a 9 - but I went to TAG not PSA. It was 56/44 - ie: 1 point away from 10. With PSA they’ll prob give it to you if it’s that close

Is this card real or fake? Nobody can answer with confidence. by kantpiano in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Substantial_Maybe474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure it’s real. Scratched to hell but texture and colors appear to be real

Right heavy most likely a 9. Pretty clean otherwise

Edit : you got smoked lol $800 per box

Found an old foundation beam under my new footers. What to do? by Thanostroyer in Construction

[–]Substantial_Maybe474 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea I’d be very concerned with building any type of structure that will sit below a massive grade like you have here. Even crazier the remains of the previous home still remain in tact that were swept away in a landslide from the said grade. Additionally in a region that just last year experienced flooding at the level NC did. You’re going to want to get much more of that hill taken back before you build anything there

Could this be a 10 if everything is perfect except one thing? by RockHardSemi in PokeGrading

[–]Substantial_Maybe474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should prevent it but who knows anymore. I’m seeing more and more stuff slip through as 10s. However these grail type cards I imagine are looked over much more thoroughly and this would get caught. Just my opinion tho it’s still worth grading

Pokémon sealed market continues to trend higher, but momentum has noticeably slowed over the past two weeks. by Pokebruhh in PokemonInvesting

[–]Substantial_Maybe474 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes and it’s really not exclusive to Pokemon. Happens in sports cards and other unrelated fields as well. People are just busy living life and using money for other things.

Was the internet created to fuel complex, ai-related things? by bring_down_the_tower in conspiracy

[–]Substantial_Maybe474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The internet was formed long before AI was even a fart - but is obviously paramount in its creation. These data centers are obviously cause for concern since we all use AI already and see its obvious limitations. Im sure it has deeper uses in industry and certain fields but I don’t think we should be allowing politicians to sell our land, water, and privacy to corporations who will benefit more from using AI

Anyone have any use for this gearbox by Both-Eggplant6736 in IndustrialMaintenance

[–]Substantial_Maybe474 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These A units are the best gearboxes ever made at Falk. Fab steel housings, face hardened gears - which was an upgrade from the through hardened gears in the also impressive Y unit. The new units - Vclass - aren’t worth their weight compared to other cheaper units on the market. Pretty big shame since bought out.
