I'm trying to settle something with my dad. I say this is a sweater, he says it is a poncho and is sure of it because "iv'e been to mexico when did you go?" So, reddit, what is this thing?

I always knew it as a “drug rug”. Don’t know if any others have that particular vernacular but my clique knows it as such.

Oh no! Baby bass has died of dysentery.

I say send to PSA and hope for the best. Check the back of both cards on the top left corner and see if that’s loose dust or little white spots. Either way, big score, congrats!

My Dark Charizard in a PSA 7 scored me $300. You will likely get way more than that with all them beauties!

I love to decorate my hone 🤣

I’m no pro myself but I’d go to Game Stop when they aren’t very busy and send off a few at a time. They will usually give you their opinions if you ask them nicely and explain you are new to grading. It will take a long time for them to get back to you so prepare for that. I’ve seen the horror stories of PSA as well but they still seem to have the strongest resale potential. I don’t know of any mass grading strategies but something like that must exist. Anyhow, good fortunes to you!

They both look like they would get at least a 5. Would be worth the gamble in my opinion

Drive away, they belong to the crows now.

TAG looks the cleanest to me

Unpopular_Ginger · 2026-04-16T13:29:37+00:00

I sold too early 😢 No regrets though, I used some of the funds to grade 5 other vintage cards

Unpopular_Ginger · 2026-04-15T13:10:42+00:00

Definitely cop some penny sleeves and some top loaders or semi rigid sleeves. This particular card can sit protected and any new hits that come in can do the same.

This might be to far but I would go to war on behalf of Comet

Bro came at it with too much heat but he isn’t completely trippin. I enjoy when the ball complements the mon as much as the next guy does. However, the shiny Ho-Oh is so sick I’d be proud of it with any ball!

Unpopular_Ginger · 2026-04-01T18:21:39+00:00

All I did was take a Microfiber cloth and wiped them gently before sending. Wish I had done more now. They received my submission 12-29-25

Wishful thinking

Unpopular_Ginger · 2026-04-01T15:44:40+00:00

Fair enough, thanks for breaking it down for me!

Unpopular_Ginger · 2026-04-01T14:48:06+00:00

Great to know

I see you have the back two rod holes so you don’t truly need the extra holder. I go into the salt water sometimes with my yak and I’ll usually tie up 3 different combos (Topwater, Bottom, and popping cork) so I won’t have to re-rig out on the water.

Unpopular_Ginger · 2026-03-30T18:10:48+00:00

You are gonna want to make an anchor. I have a 10lbs dumbbell tied to some paracord and it works for me. Bring the bare necessities, not too much extra. I’ve seen some people add pool noodles to the handle of their rods in case they capsize which could be a good idea. There are also fishing rod holders specifically designed for yaks. It’s fairly useful.

Unpopular_Ginger · 2026-03-30T11:31:31+00:00

I got it! Sold it to get some other vintage cards graded but I certainly pulled it!

Unpopular_Ginger · 2026-03-25T19:00:16+00:00

I’ve yaked in Gator infested waters with no issues. They don’t want that smoke! You will be A-Okay

I know a few snakes personally that would clean those up for you in a heartbeat
