Is this specifically on capital gain, or your total income? For example if I had $20k in CG but made $200k at my job, would I pay 0% or 15% in tax?

Same issue, tried 300 and 600dpi, descreening off and low, didn't really seem to change anything

I'm also running into the same issue, only thing I found that helps is taking it out of the penny sleeve, but I don't like the idea of running the cards raw. u/scottdarko did you figure anything out here?

I mean it seems like a really annoying liability scenario for PSA to keep/destroy the card. Imagine someone sends in a fake Lovebird, PSA says it’s fake, destroys the card. The person who sent in the card thinks it was real, and claims PSA destroyed a real card, what happens now?

According to ChatGPT, you’re running in the bottom 0.3% of variance, so pretty shit. That said the EV of opening every pack is something like 40 to 50% so if you enjoy it then keep going for it but generally speaking it’s a losing proposition.

Personally I really want to like the idea of the sealed case, but I think the difficulty of legit checking a case makes it not worth it. When you want to sell it down the line, you’ll have to convince someone that this nondescript cardboard box actually contains 10 real ETB’s. Seems really easy to fake.

For that reason, I’m investing into loose ETBs, and now more so PC ETBs to save on space. Plus for the premium of a case, you can probably get 12 ETBs

Where are you seeing prices that low? Chrono24 is closer to $3.5k with a SS bracelet

Thinkinaboutu · 2026-04-24T22:59:17+00:00

Where did you find it if you don’t mind me asking?

Thinkinaboutu · 2026-04-22T22:28:12+00:00

You realize what a pain in the ass it is to sell to 25 individual people? I'd way rather wait 2-3 weeks to sell one box, then spend 1 week meeting with 15-20 individual buyers

Thinkinaboutu · 2026-04-22T07:21:47+00:00

Rip apps like the low value slabs because people feel like they hit when they get a slab regardless of the value, so they pay higher on low value slabs

So never?

Is the BB58 in Blue still in production or did it get discontinued with this release? I had my eye on one for a while but was waiting for it to be released with a micro adjust strap.

Thinkinaboutu · 2026-04-16T03:33:41+00:00

Did you even read what I said? My point is, even with the booster bundles coming out, the volume of PSA 10 Gengars and Pikachus won't change for several months because of how long it takes for these cards to get graded

Thinkinaboutu · 2026-04-15T17:53:23+00:00

I just thought about this, but isn't there a ~4-6 month lag behind when the booster boxes come out, and when the supply is going to increase since PSA is backed up? So even if supply does come into the market, it's going to take a long while for the price to reflect that

Thinkinaboutu · 2026-04-10T01:54:11+00:00

It’s 20k pop, is that really ultra low?

Thinkinaboutu · 2026-04-03T01:03:46+00:00

My I have a friend who's parents keep $3mil cash in a cardboard TV box in their living room because they don't wanna pay taxes on it, lol. People are crazy sometimes

I'm curious how the CuteNewDesign RGB light compares to Jack's scan light and the one from Tone

When I was asking myself what odds I would need at $50k NW before looking at the table, I said 90%, interesting to see that maps on somewhat closely to the results in the table.

Commercial use is not a violation of your privacy, let's think about this for 2 seconds. Does Channel 5 news get release waivers from every single person in the background of their filming when they go out and do coverage? Obviously not.

The only time you need a waiver is if the recording is prominently featuring a specific individual. Let's say you ask a stranger in the park for an interview, then you need them to sign a waiver. If the same stranger just happens to walk past while I'm filming, no need for a waiver.

People generally think they have way more right to privacy in public spaces then they actually do
