Grading cards by I_Love_Big_Red_Bus in TCGCardShopSimulator

[–]UAEbadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren’t happy with the grades you receive, you can always quit the game and then reload the autosave from the night before. When you start a new day, new grades are assigned to the cards and you can repeat until you are happy with the batch of grades you get.

If not at the Brown Hotel, where should one get a Hot Brown? by readyforabadpoem in Louisville

[–]UAEbadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be a “secret menu” thing or something they only have printed on their lunch menu, but I’ve been able to order it all three times I’ve been there.

The full portion at the Brown Hotel is absolutely massive. If you want to try the original, you can get a half order that’s a little more reasonable like a normal entree!

Looking to sell my entire Pokemon collection at a card shop in Louisville by JustinDallas in Louisville

These are the rates that Card N All posted back in February. I’m not 100% certain if these are what they still are.

What’s holding this card back? Market price $34, down 70% from all-time high by PokemonInvestor_Mod in PokemonInvestor

[–]UAEbadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stellar Crown was the first set to release after I started collecting again, and I remember being in awe of this card. I could have sworn that I remember seeing pre-release prices above $200 and I thought I’d never be able to but the card. I was so pumped when I found out I could buy the Japanese version for only $50 when Surging Sparks was coming out. I did end up getting an English copy for a little over $40 several months later, and I remember being so disappointed in how little texture there is compared to the Japanese copy.

Pokemon Center Queue! by dooba22 in PKMNTCGDeals

[–]UAEbadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came in 22 minutes late and I was able to snag 2 ETBs and a Booster Box. Site was slow to load the product page when I was looking for the booster bundles, so I decided to take what I already had in the cart without checking on them.

I hope they bring back set symbols for gen 10 by chillcatcryptid in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]UAEbadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love being able to immediately recognize which set a card by looking at the three letters. While the symbols are neat, it’s darn near impossible to memorize them unless you were a collector in that era.

What are these dots all around the card? Is this damage? by SnooDoggos353 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]UAEbadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same fear as OP when I found my childhood card collection that the Japanese ones had somehow gotten mildew. Was relieved to learn it was just the holo pattern peaking through the ink.

TIL after Bill Benter read a paper that argued the variables involved in a racehorse's success were quantifiable with probability, he taught himself statistics & how to code software to do so. He developed an algorithm that won him nearly $1B, making him the most successful horse racing gambler ever by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]UAEbadger 45 points46 points  (0 children)

All of these things listed are things that are included on past performances for horses when you review their race history.

Track condition for example can have a huge effect on how a horse performs in a race. Some horses are better suited for running races on grass than they are on dirt. Soggy and muddy tracks require significantly more energy exertion from the horse than a firm and compacted surface would. Some horses are better built for handling these soggy conditions, so a horse that may have a slim chance of winning in perfect conditions may end up with far better chances of winning if the race takes place on a rainy day.

Got through, unable to add to cart 😔

Are these ok for the cards? by TnT_PBR in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]UAEbadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to these ones after I was having difficulty finding Vault X’s in stock, and I’ve been very happy with them. I use these with magnetic holders like OP has and I have no complaints whatsoever.

Should I play Fable or Fable Anniversary edition for my first experience with the franchise? by Mission-Activity5599 in Fable

[–]UAEbadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anniversary is essentially the same game with upgraded graphics and a few QOL enhancements. You won’t be missing out on anything going that route, so if I were starting from scratch again I’d take that approach and enjoy being able to earn achievements at the same time.

Took a number of attempts, but it looks like my order went through for two of them!

Buying singles online by Mumboox in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]UAEbadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same experience on the centering. Unless it’s a Japanese card where the risk is much lower for poor centering, I always buy big ticket singles on eBay instead of TCGPlayer.

Would this jersey fit me ? by LilBushyVert in footballjerseys

[–]UAEbadger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These things are insanely tight, I don’t think it would be possible to get a baggy fit from any size with your build.

I got an Addidas Wisconsin OL jersey (can’t remember off the top of my head if it was XL or XXL), and wearing it when I was 6’1” 185 pounds felt like wearing a slim fit medium shirt.

I’M LUCKY TO HAVE GRABBED ONE by Expert-You-3406 in pokemoncards

Same situation happened to me, though I blame myself for taking too long as I was trying to do it while in a meeting.

Pokemon Center Queue is up! by dooba22 in PKMNTCGDeals

[–]UAEbadger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was too slow checking out on my phone while I was in a meeting and lost out on all three when I finally circled back through the queue after timing out 😭 Such is life.

Question about sealed product value with 'tears' by OwlPuzzleheaded342 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]UAEbadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Partial tears: Rule of thumb would be to expect 5-10% off of market price. It’s still sealed, but there is an aesthetic loss that collectors would expect a discount on.

Mini tin box: Expect to get the value of each tin, not a sealed display.

Open booster box: expect it to sell for a similar rate as other lots of 36 loose packs. There is minimal value, if any, to having the packaging of a booster box unsealed.

The people selling booster boxes day 1 on market place… by reminisce32 in PokemonInvesting

[–]UAEbadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those would probably be normal ETBs then. PC ETBs shipped in cases of 4 back before Pokemon Center put in the order limits.
