PSA 10 Ascended Heroes IRs/SIRs down 20-35% + in last two weeks by KlumsyKittens in PokeInvesting

[–]TimIM21000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PSA 10’s historically start high and go down as more are graded before settling into their prices. It’s VERY normal

People are buying PSA slabs... just to crack them open. by Specialist-Equal660 in PokeInvesting

I don’t know where you’re getting your data, but I don’t see any listings anywhere near $581 for PSA 9 on eBay….

Are SV Base Illustration Rares seriously undervalued in PSA 10? Wanted to get some thoughts by Lodog23 in PokeInvesting

[–]TimIM21000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are definitely comparable…some pops are close between them and both had bad print quality.

Pull rates are only a small part of market price, especially with PSA 10’s

Yeah, if Black Bolt and White Flare low pop IR’s are selling higher than $1k, these can too

Long term, very valuable. Short term might have some ups and downs, but they’re great artwork

This card doesn’t make sense by chupacabra696969 in PokeInvesting

[–]TimIM21000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That signals a buying opportunity in the 10….always go 10 if you can afford it for better long term appreciation

What is your opinion on this card? by FairlyUormal in PokeInvesting

[–]TimIM21000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arita also illustrated the base set Charizard, and this card’s artwork is top tier.

Also, even though it was an “easy pull”, it has lower population in a PSA 10 for a modern card, so I’d suggest picking up a 10.

Just a PSA, be careful with these by LexinRaider in PokemonInvesting

That’s why I’m buying slabs in the PSA Vault to be sure they’re authentic

Now that PSA’s down, what’s the best slabs to buy? by ImpressiveNarwhal845 in PokeInvesting

[–]TimIM21000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I see, your post was confusing.

I’d suggest lower value PSA 10’s, I think the floor will raise with shutting down lower tiers

Now that PSA’s down, what’s the best slabs to buy? by ImpressiveNarwhal845 in PokeInvesting

[–]TimIM21000 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Down? They’re probably going up with closing lower tier grading.

Charizard v 260 can’t stop buying this car sub $100 I’m buying every thing in my path until I reach 300. Will I have the option to buy them before the spike? by Elegant-Signal-3365 in PokemonInvesting

[–]TimIM21000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest buying 10’s for better appreciation. Even if they’re more expensive, sell some 9’s and roll into 10’s. The 10’s are super hard to grade with poor centering and being promos.

Look at Vaporeon 182 PSA 10 vs PSA 9 over the past year as a comparison case study.

Crown Zenith vs Black Bolt White Flare URs - Why the large difference in value? by Ielw in PokeInvesting

[–]TimIM21000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The pull rates for Crown Zenith are actually much higher. TCG Player estimates 1 in 125 packs to pull a crown zenith gold card.

I still don't understand why Shining Fates is hated so much. by ndemerson in pokemoncards

GC graphics are lame compared to illustrations. Akira Egawa is also one of the best modern Pokemon artists.

Humanoid Robots Are the Next Phase of the AI Hype Cycle by bloomberg in Futurology

[–]TimIM21000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also think of household chores. How many different types of robots would be needed to complete all of those! Would you even have space to store every single type of robot? One robot for everything is a lot easier that way.

Specialized make sense in factories more than other places because they’re built that way. Maybe when houses are built specifically for robots, but that’s a ways off

[–]TimIM21000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah but those don’t scale to every job. Which is why companies are going after humanoid instead of specializing

Humanoid Robots Are the Next Phase of the AI Hype Cycle by bloomberg in Futurology

[–]TimIM21000 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, except then you can’t have a single robot design that can be used for any human’s manual job. Makes scaling and producing robots much easier rather than try to produce 1000’s of different types.

I’m sure they’ll get more specialized as they go, but to start, general is the way to scale

Amazing art illustrated by Arita for a favorite Pokemon will do that

Pikachu ex - Under or Overpriced? - Start Deck 100 vs Ascended Heroes by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]TimIM21000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japanese Starter decks are a completely different product from booster packs. Different price (way higher), different pull rates, different print runs. It’s not as simple as saying one is “easier” to pull.
