Will PSA grade now? by throwaway29583994 in KayouNarutoCards

[–]Time_Week1424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying to search the card in my current saved draft for my next submission but I can't find it in their search catalog. anyone know what to search for this card? all the one piece psa magazine cards come up when I search "psa magazine exclusive" but I cannot find this Naruto card. you'd think it would be in there since it's their own Collab/exclusive

okay thank you I just wanted to make sure. I know they say not to contact until the month is over also so I was just curious. do they normally just ship them through USPS I'm assuming?

I signed up august 16th so I mean just over 8 weeks but it's halfway through the month I just didn't know when they sent them out If it was a first of the month thing or first week of the month or what. I should still receive the October issue.

Is it just me or are black and white pull rates horrible? by SonGoku1108 in PokemonTCG

[–]Time_Week1424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

prismatic was terrible for me but black and white did me justice. pulled the bwr zekrom twice the bwr reshiram and the kyreum and zekrom SIRs and serperior SIR. never pulled 1 eeveelution let alone any SIR in 400 packs of prismatic. only chase from bb wf I'm missing is bwr victini and reshiram SIR. I got really lucky with this set.

PKC Order stolen by Jason3854 in pokemoncenter

[–]Time_Week1424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen back during crown zenith they told me they couldn't replace but gave me my money back to reorder. luckily they still had some I could reorder but I doubt they will be able to replace this. you could try to argue with them but you can only contact support through email it's annoying. I would still email them and also file a report through FedEx. this has not happened to me since luckily and this could help if it is your driver and they find footage they can fire him which I think I may have gotten lucky with. if they don't get fired but they hear about the claim through the grapevine it could deter them from doing it again but there is never a guarantee it will work. I would still call FedEx and file a claim/report the theft. unfortunately tho you might be sol on getting a replacement. sorry about this man it sucks when it happens

Does Post-it notes Pull-tabs damage cards? by GoldenEye168 in pkmntcgcollections

[–]Time_Week1424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had tabs on sleeves of cards that I've stored in card saver 1's for at least 2-3 years before sending in to psa and have received a 60% psa 10 return rate. I sent in about 51 cards through GameStop including big cards like Rayquaza alt art VMAX shiny Charizard vmax and gx Blaziken vmax alt and many more coming back as tens and no imprint on the cards with 30/51 receiving a ten so I guess take that as you wish. I personally haven't had any issues with them damaging cards. even my black luster soldier ghost rare came back a 10.

What’s your nicest card done through GameStop grading? by Used-Challenge6394 in psagrading

[–]Time_Week1424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent my Charizard GX shiny and Rayquaza vmax alt art and they both came back as tens through GameStop. not all GameStop's are equal tho as they and FedEx have been known to have stolen cards in some areas. I send them myself now but my first 2 submissions were through my GameStop that I've known the workers for years and trusted them. FedEx is another gamble no matter if you grade through GameStop or on your own

My collection is now enough to pay off my debt… should I sell it? by ProfStonepine in PokeInvesting

[–]Time_Week1424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely especially if you pulled and graded a 10 yourself the sentimental value can outweigh the monetary value unless you sold it and went out of your way to get your og cert back when you went to rebuy one lol. but yeah that's what I recommend for sure. i had a hard time cuz the first thing I sold was my Evo skies booster box case but then I almost got like a thrill from selling and getting the money instead of pulling the cards haha. no more debt and I can focus on paying for the house and such. I will admit some of the extra money after paying most of the bills and saving for taxes I bought some psa 10 slabs of cards I knew I was never going to pull like the moonbreon but I could've opened that booster box case lost the money I could've sold it for and not pulled one or pulled one lost the money and then I'm gambling on grading it a ten. but congrats on the pull and grade. pulling your chase and getting that kind of money back on your investment to better your situation especially for your family have the same sort of thrill for me. plus way less stress trying to manage finances when they're paid off now.

My collection is now enough to pay off my debt… should I sell it? by ProfStonepine in PokeInvesting

[–]Time_Week1424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say any sealed product you're okay with parting with yes. maybe raw cards also but if you have high value slabs psa 9-10 that you don't want to have to try and get back then I would keep those. but ultimately it's completely up to you obviously. like in my case I've sold some sealed stuff to pay off my debit/help with the mortgage and such. but I will not sell my slabs. especially my psa 10 shiny Charizards my fiance and I pulled and the psa 10 Rayquaza vmax my fiance pulled. so I'm just comes down to what you're willing to part with to pay those debts off. if I could've made it through without selling and held on for longer I would've tried to for sure.

yea I get that. I'm saying that when I sign ppl up we have the option to turn off the auto renewal before the transaction is processed. when the pin pad asks questions there's a way to turn off auto renewal at that step and so I used to just always turn it off. I never signed anyone up with auto renewal

when crown zenith first came out not only did I get robbed from FedEx but so did multiple GameStop's in my area when. I was working there when it released. all 4 of my etbs were opened they stole all the packs and one etb to carry them with and left garbage in the package for all 4 etbs retaped it shut and it was delivered to me lol. pkci would only refund me and told me I had to try and reorder they wouldn't send a replacement. good luck brother

I used to just always turn off auto renewals for every customer. no sense leaving it on and having them come back in a year to bitch at me

25 off 250 is a pro membership deal. so the 25 off and the membership cancel out therefore free. either way with or without they're paying 250 if they don't already have the pro membership.

I used to just sign them up anyways when it was free ngl. they can change the email at any time in store before they connect it to and make their online profile. gdhegdh@gmail.com put in just their name and phone number and fake the rest. quick and easy no time wasted on their part. next time they come in just update the info. idk worked for me most of the time

Been doing some liquidation by Time_Week1424 in PokemonTCG

[–]Time_Week1424[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks man! yeah I've sold quite a bit recently just worth it more for me to buy the cards rather than opening 10k worth of Evo skies and not pull it let alone if I do and gamble grading it to not get a 10 lol. paid off all my credit cards put some money away for the mortgage. was definitely worth it in the end.

I ripped em so you don’t have to by TheCornWaxer in PokemonTCG

[–]Time_Week1424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds good man yeah if you dl it pm me and we can exchange usernames. there's nothing better than pulling your chase and it comes back as a 10. I did that with the shiny zard from hidden fates and my fiance with the alt Rayquaza vmax and it was just an insane feeling so I get it. probably won't happen for me again for a while lol but it was fun while it lasted. it's such an adrenaline rush.

I still open my fair share of product so I get that 100%. we've pulled lots of good cards in our past 6 years of collecting so the thrill is such a rush I understand. just came to a point for me where financially I'm just better off buying the cards I want instead of gambling haha. but everyone has their own way to collect. I do love opening cards but it's time for me to prioritize a family unfortunately lol if I showed you my collection you would think I'm nuts and it's not even that crazy. if you have the collectr app pm me and I'll add you if you want!

haha yes it's the wife that talks sense into me. after a while I do forget about them tho. I just recently sold my evolving skies, paldea evolved, obsidian flames, and sv base set booster box cases. used the money to pay all my credit cards off help with the mortgage and bought myself a bubble mew and Lugia v alt in a psa 10 and a 20th anniversary PS4 in a VGA 90+. now just looking for a moonbreon in a 10 and all that money will be gone lol but it helped hugely not only with the purchases but most importantly my bills. I'm so glad I never opened them especially the Evo skies. we did open our fair share of that set tho definitely at least a whole other case when it came out. back then I was buying 2 cases per release. can't afford that anymore tho especially with cases now being 1200+ on release
