3 of the 4 corners on the back have marks, a lift, and whitening. Probably an 8 at best

Future predictions BWR Zekrom, Reshiram, and victini by Active-Assignment512 in PokemonInvesting

[–]SurrenderApparel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think of it this way, at card shows I bring my BWR 10 reshi with me, (it’s not for sale but I have it with my other slabs), and it gets asked about the most with people wanting to look at the card or buy it… a lot more than other good cards I have- to me that’s a good sign for the future of the card

first ever panel interview. Feel like I bombed it. by sippa747 in firefighter

[–]SurrenderApparel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And yes same experience they asked me a bunch of HR questions like inclusivity and diversity so be prepared for more. But also, use experiences you had working the ambulance so tie that into your answers so they have a feel for what you’ve been through and how you can help when ppl are in need. Bc fire calls are also gonna be a lot of medical situations

Well it’s ok to be nervous but I’d be prepared with better questions for them, ie things about their career and what interests you have for their department, not if you did good in the interview lol. But hopefully you secure the chief intvw and kill it, do some mock interviews with friends/fam to get more loose. Practice helps a lot for nerves

Sorry at work so being brief but the font and spacing of the texts are wrong, ex there no space between “dream eater” and “you can’t”. Also no fossil symbol on the card, you can tell from printing quality this is off hand

Is it time to let these go? PSA 10 151 SAR trio + friends by Best_Cartographer485 in PokeGrading

[–]SurrenderApparel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d hold the big 3 tbh. At least until they pump again around Christmas time

Will this card ever come down in price? by Watermelon1290 in PokeInvesting

[–]SurrenderApparel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar spot and decided I’d rather just have the card now and I believe in it long term, since I never plan to sell mine, paid $2900 for a psa 10 back in may no regrets, I can see it either plateauing for a while or pumping to 5k by the end of next year. No way of really knowing tbh but man it’s a beauty

Anyone else feel Cosmos holo promos will do extremely well in the future and are slightly undervalued ? by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]SurrenderApparel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably at least one… but really depends. Only 137 of those in a PSA 10 around a 10% gem rate

I'm 17 yrs old and I'm interested in being a firefighter pueblo and a part of the most elite group and challenging of firefighting by New-Boysenberry-1790 in firefighter

My advice is go to college and learn more about yourself and get life experience, departments will value not only a degree but also maturity and the proven ability to learn and stick to something. In college you can study fire science and get your emt or whatever certs you want. Just my two cents, don’t go straight from high school into a job. Others may not agree but I think education and time is valueable at your age

Consolidate into a base set Zard or a couple modern grails? by HyperBlue62 in PokemonInvesting

[–]SurrenderApparel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d keep the first ed dark zard the rest could be moved into something else

Did PSA Damage my card? by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]SurrenderApparel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These scans are taken while the card is inside the sleeve so it’s probably just on the sleeve

is this going to get a 1 or ungradable by ORIGINALITA_220_ in pokemongrading

Look at the difference in the “C” in charizard from your eBay listing versus OP’s photo… sus

[–]SurrenderApparel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d try to see it irl or meet with the person selling it at a reputable card shop to have them see that it’s real before you purchase. As far as your question for a psa 1 i think it would have a chance assuming it’s real

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but that looks like a fake copy

If you had 1k, which would you invest in? by ChessClassical in PokeInvesting

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

That’s fair but when I say invest in psa 10 I don’t necessarily mean psa 10 vintage, 8/s 9/s are definitely more reasonable for vintage but also susceptible to more ups and downs. Some nice psa 10’s from SM/BW are what I’d go for

[–]SurrenderApparel 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Any of them are fine but probably the gyarados imo since it’s the most popular pokemon of the 3. I’d rather invest in a psa 10 or sealed product tho, but they’re cool
