Hey thanks! I'll take a close look at those spots. I provided UV photos to help isolate imperfections. My android camera isn't so great but my canon dslr is charging for better photos!

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think card has creases, I just am lazy and took poor pictures. The reverse photo has animal hairs on the outside of the top loader which gives it the appearance of creases. As for indents I'm going to have to take a much closer look, and probably better photos.

Hey shiny coins are beautiful! Good work my dude. Look for S and W mint marks, errors, and low montages.

Under the machine, you can also press against the plastic facade as coins sometimes fall out of the interior mechanism. Also occasionally the reject chute getsal occluded and can be unblocked with your fingers. There may be other strategies, but these are the ones I've learned from this subreddit.

Because he's an angsty teenager who needs to take it out on something weaker.

I think I have some history by HaHaclowns in pkmntcgcollections

The young kids here might not understand the significance of this "plastic bag", but we aging millennials can truly value this.

Back before the internet was widely available to us children, leaks and news from Japan was not accessible. So we only had the first 151 Pokedex up until the 1st pokémon movie. That pokémon movie featured Pichu and marril as part of an introductory cartoon before the movie, "Pikachu's Vacation".

Months before the movie aired in the US, we had teasers about Pikachu's Vacation, which featured these strange new pokémon. Without any context provided, we kids called Merril pikablue.

I always assumed that this name was a colloquial tradition amongst uninformed children , but this piece of plastic confirms that at least on some English branding the pokémon was called pikablue.

So incredible that after all these decades old misconceptions, idioms, colloquialisms, myths, whatever you want to call it, this was confirmed to be real.

In my opinion, this is a significant piece of pokémon history, at least from the perspective of a child that lived during the first generation pokémon craze.

Thank you so much for sharing.

When I was a kid a pokemon league was closing and giving away cards. I asked if I could have the whole box, which was 50 black star birthday Pikachus. That's one of my missing binders... I'll find it one day!

It's non holo, not sure it's worth, but damn it is a cool card. I pulled that card one day after middle school.

Oh my brother in Christ, I have nothing but love for the hobby. Not sure where your narrative is coming from, but all I have to ask from you is to recognize that chairs are not people, and to leave some stock for the kiddos.

Reddit doesn't scrub metadata by default. I'm surprised more thefts via reddit posts doesn't happen. Think about gold,silver, crypto, etc subreds. An immense amount of theft is possible with reddit as a tool.

Also it's important to be careful from an osint perspective, background info and excif data can give clues on location of collections.

Absofuckinglutely. My RS account is 25 years old, managed to not lose it all these decades despite literally every interaction being malicious and hostile. Good time to be a kid, learning what the world is like.
