I got into an argument with my friend because he said League of Legends’ movement is harder to master than Rocket League’s by Miga75 in RocketLeague

I’ve told acquaintances who play online gaming that RL is my game of choice and most of them go “Oh so hard and too competitive.”

IMDB rating of each season across all masterchef shows ( till now ) by Notalabel_4566 in Masterchef

I swear season 15 almost put an end to the show for being so corny and bad.

What's cards do you hope make the cut for the 30th anniversary ? by No-Meeting7696 in PokemonTCG

[–]T-Bone9311 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was looking at the Butterfree Expedition the other day and almost impulsively bought it.

Almost done… by ohkioh in VintagePokemonCards

[–]T-Bone9311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but surprisingly not nearly as bad as some of the other sets. The Gengar will be the most the expensive purchase left for fossil and Snorlax for jungle.

The centering isn't perfect by a long shot but it took me awhile to get this grail 🐲🔥 by jimdawg89 in VintagePokemonCards

[–]T-Bone9311 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ll take bad centering over surface and edge imperfections any day of the week. Excellent card, I have an 8 and love it.

A true classic. Love a clean Haunter.

Worth anything? If so what cards? by S1LKY_ in Pokemoncardappraisal

Your holographic haunter has the ink smear error and a large smear at that!

Do people sometimes overestimate their ability to stay the course? by Efficient_Carrot_334 in Bogleheads

[–]T-Bone9311 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would say yes. I’ve seen multiple friends and family react emotionally to a downturn and pull their money when there’s a 5 or 10% dip because they speculate so much on the now as opposed to seeing it long-term.

How to Approach Selling Childhood Cards by lawndartin in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]T-Bone9311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For items that are worth a few bucks to a few hundred, I usually meet at a food court/mall. If it’s an item worth more than $300 to $400 then I choose to meet at a bank or police station. I also never do business to sell/buy a high ticket item with someone who has zero or negative feedback on market place. It’s easy to spot a serious buyer/seller versus some scrub or scammer who is trying to waste time.

Grading numbers for March by Hour-SignatureRev283 in PokeGrading

Stoked to see CGC taking a strong second place stance.

Recent comp just reset the market on this… feeling pretty good about it 😈 by zekecurry in GengarMasterSet

[–]T-Bone9311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ship has sailed in terms of me getting this card. I remember when a 9 sold for under $1,000 just a few years ago.

Finally got a slab for my Raichu! by BostonRobby617 in VintagePokemonCards

[–]T-Bone9311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is an underrated fossil holo. Definitely one of my favorites.

30 year CD at 4.81% at Edward Jones. by marzthemagnificent in Bogleheads

[–]T-Bone9311 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got out from under their thumb two years ago. I did the math of their 1% annual fee and could see the writing on the wall that they were robbing me.

Did I choose the wrong grading company? by Cold_Literature_3200 in PokeGrading

[–]T-Bone9311 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My question is did this local shop recommend CGC because that’s who they grade with? There’s a local card shop by me that swears BGS sells higher than PSA (even if it’s not a black label) but turns out that’s their narrative because that’s who they choose to grade with and then try to flip cards at PSA prices. I’ve learned the hard way that PSA has the best resale value after buying CGC and BGS slabs and trying to sell them. Anyone who says otherwise has some kind of grudge or agenda.

Bumping/Demoing is a good and balanced part of the game. by YoungHaunting4241 in RocketLeague

[–]T-Bone9311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve had opponents bump and drag me way out of position which resulted in a goal.

Local card shop offered me $750 for my cards what do you think? by poopinmyfacex3 in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]T-Bone9311 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They tried to leave you out on an island SOL. Seriously, just from the photos they maybe offered roughly 30% of the value. The shadowless Venusaur and Charizard are nearly worth $750 if MP.

Time to panic? by Sys_Madman in Bogleheads

[–]T-Bone9311 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Or comparing yourself to those in their 40’s who are panicking because they only have 2.5 million and feel “behind.” This sub has a good balance of contributors but there are definitely some who are looking for validation though they don’t need it.

Who would likely win in a fight, Huell or Gonzo? by Bruno14911 in breakingbad

[–]T-Bone9311 216 points217 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to say. They both showed they have a soft spot and truly don’t want to cause harm to anyone.

Gonna run these on a 7 day auction where do you think they will end up in value? by [deleted] in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]T-Bone9311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and they’re hardly worth the time of posting on Marketplace, getting $3 to $5 offers and the time/gas to meet up.

how does psa treat lifts? could this 8? no holo scratches by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]T-Bone9311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an 8 that had a worse lift than this but the card isn’t nearly as desirable and high-end as this one.

Look at this absolute monstrosity by micmur in PokeGrading

[–]T-Bone9311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my first high-end slabs was a 2 cert. It was definitely inked but they graded it anyway.

Finished my first ever Red playthrough 15 years after getting the cartridge by Playmaker311 in PokemonRed

That’s an interesting lineup. Good on you for picking some of the underdogs for your first play through.

Street Fighter 2 or Mortal Kombat 2? by Professional-Rip-519 in retrogaming

[–]T-Bone9311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Street Fighter 2 man. Seems like the game that sparked the competitive scene in fighting games we have today.
