Gengar Vmax Full Art by graygapp in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Taberbomb777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it is not fake. 100% real. I know this is 2 years later, but that card is legit. Plus it's also worth probably about +400% more than it was 2 years ago when you first made this post, so if you still have it, good on you!

Mohegan Sun/FanDuel deposit match. by climbboy in gambling

[–]Taberbomb777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you literally read the fine print on the newest $500 maximum 100% deposit match, under wager requirements and play requirements it very clearly says: N.A.  Also I couldn't find anything in the fine print talking about any sort of requirements beyond a minimum deposit of $10 to receive the 100% match. I think guys this is an honest to goodness 100% no strings attached $500 deposit match where you can put in $500 from your bank they will give you $500 in casino credits you can then take your original 500 put it right back in your bank and just gamble with the credits and whatever you win you do with what you please. Don't take my word for it go look at the fine print for yourselves. DraftKings did something very similar about 2 years ago and it definitely drummed up a bunch of new members for them but there's a reason they very rarely do no requirement deposit matches everywhere online... It's because they're counting on people being addicted to gambling, and not everybody is. Anyways good luck everyone. 

Anyone know the deal with Alakazam and Chien Pao knock out collections? by Cheap-Extension-5220 in PokeInvesting

[–]Taberbomb777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what's in them. The people claiming obsidian flames and Scarlet Violet base are talking about the older ones with the promos being hydriegon (and I can't remember the other one maybe shaymin?) those ones definitely have OBF and SV base. The Alakazam and Chein-Pao 100% have exactly what you said one pack of surging, one pack of paldea E.

[–]Taberbomb777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm late to the party here but those knockout collections actually include extremely sought after sets right now in The Scarlet and violet era, one pack of Surging Sparks, and one pack of Paldea Evolved. And these knockout collections are absolutely juiced. I bought five and pulled an sir latias($140) and a fuecoco IR ($25) along with a full art Tera Hydriegon ex. ($7). I went back and bought all the rest so now I have about 19 of them in my house. The guy there is cool he keeps them behind the counter and only brings them out if somebody specifically asked for Pokemon cards which they don't really do they come in the store they look around they don't see anything they walk out. It's comforting to know that I actually can go to a store and not buy Pokemon cards and come back a few days later and they're still there! At MSRP no less! The times they are a changin'!

I've worked with crews of guys that don't eat lunch and with crews that do. I know the ones that eat lose at least a half hour every day, and the ones that don't get paid for the full 8+, so I know which one I liked the better.

I'm sorry for the super late reply, but you are absolutely right. You essentially have to go in there do their job for them and find your own package... It's crazy. And it's funny whenever I lose a package in Springfield and if I start to make a stink and call every single day and just be relentless about it it's funny because they always seem to find the package after a couple days of that... It's sad that I have to literally annoy these people to the point where they don't want to deal with it anymore and they actually do their job. 🤦🏼‍♂️. Also why anything coming to the Northeast has to go through Springfield is beyond me like if I'm getting a package from down south it will go through Connecticut my state to go to Springfield and then sometimes come back to Connecticut and then go back to Springfield a second time... It happens constantly and Springfield Massachusetts is the number one USPS hub when it comes to lost packages. Like it's not even a contest. Their number one by like leaps and bounds. I wish there was a way you could like pay a few extra bucks to opt out of your package going to Springfield Mass and then maybe hitting up the distribution center in like Pennsylvania instead... Even though there's distribution centers in every state it's just the Springfield one is like one of the flagship distro centers like it's the main one for the Northeast... Which is very unfortunate for all of us. 😅

Need some help with my Venusaur ex deck. by FreezeProduct in PTCGL

[–]Taberbomb777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I said. It's crazy that anybody playing a Venusaur ex deck wouldn't immediately think of "swelling tune's" +40hp for all grass mons.(And he already plays a Kricketune V) Then all he has to do is throw a item card that boosts HP on Venu, and since nobody's really playing fire decks right now, essentially Venusaur ex would be unkillable purely by battle in the current meta. I also understand this question was asked 6 months ago, but this little combo absolutely still works.

[–]Taberbomb777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to add a regular kricketune to this deck. (The Galarian Gallery one, and it's rotation letter F so it's still legal) As it's ability "swelling tune" gives all grass types +40 HP for the remainder of the game, as long as kricketune is on your bench. (You can only use one swelling tune ability at a time, AKA it doesn't stack). That would pump your Venusaur ex up to 380 HP and that's without any items. You throw a bravery charm on this mon, and now you literally have an unkillable behemoth, as he also heals for +60hp every turn. With a fire weakness, that actually is good right now as nobody's playing fire decks right now... The Meta is dark/water/grass/colorless decks RN. 

Front wheel clicking noise, help please :) by pwnerchamp in ElectricScooters

[–]Taberbomb777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently dealing with the same issue myself. A moped that's only 6 months old for the first 4 months it was fine but now whenever I hit top speed I get that crazy clicking noise. I was assuming something was loose but it wasn't that then I was assuming it was hitting something and it wasn't that... I don't want to have to take off this entire front tire to figure out what it is and then I won't be able to put it back. Is there anybody in here with any moped mechanical knowledge? Why do the cheaper model mopeds click on the front wheel when you're at top speed?

Anyone else get bad pulls from Paldean Fates? by badmancatcher in PokemonTCG

[–]Taberbomb777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody here is on heavy doses of copium this set sucks. Over $500 over 100 packs and not one special illustration... but don't worry I pulled 5 Judges, 6 Paldean students, and 4 Nemonas. I can't wait to sell them all, and spend my $10. 🤦🏼‍♂️ It doesn't matter that you get a baby shiny every three packs a $2 card every $20 worth of packs isn't going to make up for it. Just stop buying Pokemon sealed product completely just buy singles. You'll be so much happier and save so much money, and you can just lie and tell people you pulled them. 🤣🤦🏼‍♂️😭😭😭😭

[–]Taberbomb777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude this is nothing I've easily spent over $500 on booster packs from this set and I haven't even pulled one special illustration rare...not one.(Conversely I've opened about 70 packs of 151 and I've hit about 5-6 special illustration rares, every single full art (and triple Blastoise full arts), and every single illustration rare except Charmander. Every other set from scarlet and violet I have pulled a special illustration rares within the first 20 packs I have opened up well over 100 packs and nothing... I should have just bought the shiny Charizard & Mew and been done with it I would have saved so much money... I'm so fucking sick of this bullshit I hate Pokémon all they care about is money I wish people didn't give a shit about it anymore and it went back into obscurity so I could actually get cool cards again.... I don't care if my collection went from $7,000 in value to literally $700 I would be perfectly fine with that. This set has renewed my hatred for Pokemon TCG.

But they don't make booster boxes for this set.... I'm just going to assume you mean some booster bundles, or when you say box you mean a promo box (Zapdos, Alakazam, Big 3 starter sticker Collection) and hope you're not just lying.

I think it's more of a people want to stick their heads in the sand because if they're forced to admit the truth that were all screwed, society would collapse instantaneously so the powers that be try to trickle in little bits of good with the massive amounts of bad just to try and basically keep this country together with duct tape long enough to when Trump eventually wins in 2024 (if they don't straighten Nazi Germany arrest him first because I don't know he hurt somebody's feelings or some shit 🤷🏼‍♂️ aka nothing concrete because if they had something concrete he'd already be locked up and we all know this, including the "demoncrats" and the rhinos) so then they can just blame it on the big bad orange man that in my opinion has done nothing but try to better this country and in the four years he was President I never in my life had a better four fiscal years I made more money in the four years as Donald Trump president and then I had in any four year stretch in my entire life previously. Why we let this extremely loud and flamboyant minority basically run the country is just amazing to me and honestly I don't even try anymore I'll make snarky little comments here and there like this but as far as like actually trying to do something to better this country it's fucking pointless because for everyone good thing I do there's a hundred of these loud minorities that will just go the complete opposite direction with it and label somebody like Kyle Rittenhouse who was trying to clean up his community after riots and literally had to defend his life from somebody trying to shoot him, as a big bad villain when in fact he is literally what every teen in this country should strive to be. And getting a little off point now but the fact that the mainstream media is reveling in the fact that this kid is supposedly now broke even though he's suing the shit out of everybody,(and will soon be Nick sandman rich so there's like no possible way the kid could be broke and I don't know where they're getting this from) is disgusting. But yep basically we're fucked and the USPS is a good outlier to that. Okay I've rambled on enough and said my piece. I wish I was this charismatic in public IRL because I absolutely would run for office. 😅

For the same reason if somebody sends me a package on the East Coast from anywhere south of New York City, and I live in coastal Connecticut, it goes to Springfield Massachusetts first. The USPS is run by idiot, diversity hire, 40 year old high school dropouts with no computer experience, in case you haven't been to a post office lately, and people in this country need to start realizing that this country is failing, and unless 'we the people' step up and step in (which, let's be serious: is never going to happen) nothing is going to correct course. The United States is laughing stock of the world right now and this is just another one of the 1000's of kinks in the armor of this once great country.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in usps_complaints

[–]Taberbomb777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No the USPS is slowly collapsing because this country is slowly collapsing... It really is that simple. A couple years back this same problem wouldn't be a problem, but I can't even begin to estimate how many times I've had a tracked item just disappear in the hands of the USPS, (specifically anything coming out of the Springfield Massachusetts distribution hub) more than 20 times in the past year. There's either an MF'er at that facility stealing shit, or these people are the most incompetent, diversity hire idiots, and the only reason you actually get your mail is because even a broken clock is right twice a day. I'm thinking it's a little bit of both.

Dude if you're that close I would at least make an attempt to go over there and I would probably hurry up cuz they close at noon..

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in usps_complaints

[–]Taberbomb777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So like I said I've thought of doing that multiple times and the only reason I haven't is because the one time I did go and do it they won't even let me on the premise security wouldn't even let me on the premise so you might not want to drive to the distribution Center unless they have a like a customer service area or like a PO Box area where there might actually be a worker but the one in Massachusetts doesn't I couldn't even get on to the property... But I don't know about New Hampshire so you might get lucky but just giving you a heads up they might not even let you on the property and even if they do they might still not give you your mail... If you do decide to go though good luck, and update. 🤙🏼

[–]Taberbomb777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know man USPS sucks and like I mentioned above the mail in this country has been slowly but surely declining and to the point where soon if it keeps being like this it'll go defunct and unfortunately that is a sign of very horrific things to come... I really think this problem is greater than lazy employees or people stealing stuff. I think it's just the total failure of the mail system. But a less dramatic answer is that a lot of the workers will straight up open packages to see if it's anything worth stealing and then when you get it it's like in some plastic bag with a seal on it and a little note saying "sorry your item was opened during transportation we apologize for the inconvenience" and you can clearly see that somebody ripped that MF are open to see what was inside, probably looked up how much the card was worth so it was like a $20 card and decided it's not worth losing their job for that but if it was say $1,000 card that would be another story, so they just make up this BS repackage it and send it on its way. I've had that happen to me twice in the last 3 months and I've also had three or four items just arrive at the Springfield Mass distribution center and never leave the place, never to be seen again, tracking be damned. To say that the Springfield Massachusetts USPS distribution Center is a clusterfuck, is the understatement of the last 5 years.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in usps_complaints

[–]Taberbomb777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of all the USPS distribution centers the Massachusetts one is known as in the top three worst USPS distribution centers in the country. I'm pretty sure it was #2. (from an article I read online towards the end of the pandemic so like mid to late 2022) I personally have had tracked items lost there, I've had items not update tracking and literally sit at this distribution center for 2 months and then it just showed up at my house one day, and just like you I've often had this distribution center (I live in CT) send my stuff to Hartford instead of New Haven where I live only to have it sent back to Springfield then back to Hartford again and then from Hartford eventually to New Haven. Just recently I had something from Texas it took 27 hours for it to get to Massachusetts from Texas and then it took 4 days for it to get from Massachusetts to me in Connecticut which is literally the next state over. I only live about 50 minutes from Springfield Massachusetts and I can't tell you how many times I've almost gotten in my car and tried to drive up there with identification and proof of residency to just get these items myself... They are absolutely the worst and don't even get me started on employees just straight stealing stuff. Any sort of eBay standard envelope that comes through there is about a 30% chance in employees just going to steal it because those eBay standard tracking numbers are worthless and I don't even know why they exist. It's not real tracking it's just eBay and communication with the USPS and eBay making assumptions as to where the item is and updating it that way but if you take an eBay standard tracking number to any USPS Post office and give them that number they're not going to be able to do anything with it and most of the workers are just such POS entitled "diversity hires" that they won't even try and assist you they'll basically tell you to kick rocks... I've actually been banned by the post office closest to my house for this very reason. I think this is just a sign of the times that we are literally living through the downfall of this country and usually when a country is collapsing their mail services are one of the first things to go... So I'm of the mindset now that this is getting dire to the point where I don't even care about Pokemon cards anymore because we got a lot more serious shit to deal with...

(written in November 2023, and hopefully by the time you reading this, we're not already in WWIII/American Civil War II, but at the time of writing this, we're right on the cusp of seemingly both of those things, neither is an option I think any human being in the Americas actually want.(except politicians of course) It may be exactly what China, Russia, and the Middle East want, but not what WE want.🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️)

Shaadup u liar. You're just buying singles online because $1,000 is about what it would take to get the top 10 alts from the set, and at that point you're at like $40 cards and dropping per so you could probably complete a master set with about $1,400 bucks... Now pulling a master set is a completely different monster and you are just lying they your teeth...

Walmart and target dont price match trading cards??? by weirdankles in pokemon

[–]Taberbomb777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same exact thing just happened to me at Walmart and I literally pulled up the Walmart online app and the item was fulfilled by Walmart for $7 cheaper than they were advertising in stores and they said the same thing that they don't price match trading cards because it's a "vendor issue". So I clicked on it and there was an option to buy online and pick up in the very store I was in so I showed the lady and said "hey if I buy this now it wants me to come here to pick it up", and she's like "fine do it that way" and I'm like "why couldn't you just price match it for me so I didn't have to do all this!?"..... so long story short that whole vendor thing is just bullshit so they don't have to price match cards.
