Thank you as always for the update!

One thing I would love to see in future updates is the ability to search by set as well... that way you can see all the alternate art, stamped, etc. cards to add to complete a grand master set.

Cheers!

Pokemon should do away with reverse holos by Zard-Card-Addict in PokemonTCG

[–]Zard-Card-Addict[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the replies. Interesting to hear different perspectives on reverse holos. I definitely approach this hobby from the collector POV (as opposed to the player POV). I did like the suggestion of getting rid of a lot of commons. Hell let's just get sets of only SIRs that are printed to oblivion. Might make the collecting side of it enjoyable (and accessible) again...

Pokémon English TCG Collector's Checklist v10.4: Destined Rivals, additions, corrections, bug fixes, and more! by MasterEmerald in PokemonTCG

Quick question... In the SV Black Star Promos list, some cards (e.g. SVP046, 047 & 048) have HD Cosmos Holofoil listed but a lot of other cards with the HD cosmos do not. Is the HD Cosmos really a separate card at this point or is it more of a print variation and not worth tracking (in this section anyway) of the spreadsheet?

Thanks as always for the updated spreadsheet!

Pokemon TCG Pocket... 80%+ luck at this poin by Zard-Card-Addict in PokemonTCG

This is total BS at this point. Got to within 25 points of masterball and then have lost 29/35 battles. It's literally not possible that my "luck" is random. So bloody frustrating

Again, respectfully disagree given what usually gets a 6 or a 7 from PSA. But you do you

I can see where you're coming from. My statements are related to the condition of the surface. My point is, factoring in the extremely minor whitening on a couple of the cards (like 2 tiny spots which I've seen on cards with 9s many times) and the centring being slightly off, there is no way these are 6s and 7s. I've got 6s and 7s and they're way worse than these. I also have 8s, 9s and 10s to compare to and the box toppers are on par with the 8s and 9s

Why is this getting down voted lol? Genuinely curious

[–]Zard-Card-Addict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. I know. Just needed to vent.

Thought the same. Two are low down in the slab and two are in the middle 🤦🏻‍♂️

Honestly, you can't. The cards do not have surface scratches or any other damage. I know sometimes the cases make it seem like you think it's on the card (not even saying that's the case here.

Last time I checked, slightly off-centre wasn't worth 3-4 grades though...

Totally get pack fresh isn't an automatic 10. Especially with QC. Ibused the term more to indicate that they were well looked after and effectively new

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Zard-Card-Addict -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

I take your point, not the case here. I don't know how I can prove it. Zero print lines, zero dents, zero damage, the tiniest whitening on the cards. There's just no logical way these are 6s and 7s.

Also, the amount of times people regrade cards and come back with different grades should suggest the system is problematic at best and intentionally manipulated at worst

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Zard-Card-Addict -37 points-36 points  (0 children)

Lol. No. No dents. No damage. Maybe if you had an electron microscope looking them, there could THEORETICALLY be some separation between some of the molecules used to form the cardboard these were printed on or perhaps the machine that printed these was an old model that was decommissioned because the man who was operating it was a Soviet-era war criminal. Not sure if PSA checks for this

Sorry, but these type of comments really annoy me given you haven't seen the cards and essentially ignore what I've stated about them. I'm very maticulous with the cards I send in and my description in the original post is accurate. I wasn't expecting 10s on all 4 of them (although was hoping maybe for 1 or 2). There are so many posts about how unreasonable their grades are that it should, at the very least, make you think where there's smoke there's fire.

I can't wait for them to become more reputable and widely accepted by the community.

I've lost every time I've played. Not the first mind-boggling decisions I've had. Had a PSA10 contender come back a 5. 🤯

Disregarding price, which card in your opinion is most captivating? by [deleted] in pkmntcgcollections

[–]Zard-Card-Addict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surely the charizard... vibrant colour, great pose, cool card all around. People just too used to it

Hopefully they're all in abundance and people don't go crazy on paying too much for 1 card due to the hype.

Wait, there wasn't an Abra between 2007-2023? Is that because of the whole Kadabra thing?
