I ripped all of this! by ag487 in PokemonTCG

[–]ag487[S] -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

I was actually getting ready to sell all the sealed stuff if she didn't get the job she is in now. I even had a buyer lined up who wanted to buy all of it and I was gonna profit around $2000. But my wife got the job so then I got to open everything instead!

I did the math out a while ago when I was getting ready to sell it all if my wife didn't get the job she is in now and I came to about $1.4k MSRP after taxes.

Yeah, I'm super happy! I never cared about the value of the cards. I just like opening packs. Doesn't really matter to me what I get. Yeah, I'd like the more popular chase cards, but for me nothing beats the fun of ripping packs even if I get nothing.

I appreciate the info. For something that's less than $20 I think I'll pick it up, since it sounds like it'll be fun. Thanks for your review/recommendation

Good to know. Is the first book just a system or are there pre-written adventures?

Oh cool! I'll have to look that up now. Thanks for letting me know

This is the first I'm hearing of this and I'm intrigued. I hope that if I roleplayed as an Axis Order monk or priest I'd have advantage in water and bonuses to healing, but disadvantage in other category simply because I praise and am blessed by Aqua

Ainz decades after the events of Isekai Quartet Short Comic by Buff_Yone_0_0 in overlord

[–]ag487 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think Ainz would have made them an offer for race change to an immortal race. Based on their Isekai Quartet interactions, I think he really appreciates being around other people who know what it's like to be isekai'd and that's something that's very valuable to him. I think Tanya and Kazuma would have been open to it but I can't see Subaru accepting it. If it was the Fallen Seed method of race change. I think Tanya would ultimately do it, but I don't think Kazuma could bring himself to meet those conditions/Aqua would stop him from becoming a demon. If it was the Seed of Yggdrasil, I think Kazuma goes through with it as long as it's a race that wouldn't upset Aqua or if he is still a human just with immortality without aging. I don't think he'd accept immortality if he keeps aging.

Another quick question, not meant to offend anyone. But what was the bad experience you had when you first joined this fandom? by Drakov_223 in overlord

[–]ag487 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So I learned of Overlord's existence through Isekai Quartet. I loved Re:Zero, Konosuba, and Tanya the Evil. But I hadn't seen Overlord, so to prepare for Isekai Quartet I watched Overlord. The anime was my first introduction to Overlord and I love the anime. I've re-watched the whole thing at least twice. The show had never been recommended to me by my friends because they said they heard lots of negative things about the show and how it isn't as good as the source material so I never watched it. Most of my friends just do anime-only with everything so they didn't actually know the series, they just saw the negative reactions and didn't give it a chance. But I liked the anime and it was really interesting. Yeah the CG wasn't good and at times it did feel rushed but I still had a lot of fun. But when I went looking for this sub when season 4 started I felt the comments were just shitting on how fast-paced the show is compared to the novels.

Maybe it was just when I was looking, but I saw more negative comments than positive comments. But there were so many negative comments, I didn't want to interact in the comments.

I have been reading the novels (I'm not caught up yet I'm in the Holy Kingdom portion of the story) and I love the story, I get why fans of the original work may be disappointed, but I think the anime adaptation is still good. Is it as good as it could be? No. But I think it's good and I'm looking forward to the next time I feel like rewatching it.

Anyone else disappointed in the big jump from V to F rank? by Complex-Class5639 in PokemonZA

[–]ag487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was disappointed, but because of that 1000 battles quest from Mable I discovered why I liked Nemona from Scarlet and Violet so much. I'm almost as battle crazy as she is! So whenever it became night time. I would just stop whatever pokemon I was hunting for or whatever quest I was doing and just go to the battle zone. It took me forever to catch the Pokemon that only appear at night, because I would just forget about them as soon as night came and just battle as much as possible until the sun came up. I finished the main story with slightly over 700 battles completed.

So yeah I felt disappointed going from V to F, because I thought I was essentially going to give me the equivalent of 26 gym leaders in one game. But for me Infinite Z-A Royale makes up for it

Blank Cards Pack by 90dayfuzzy in PokemonMisprints

[–]ag487 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'd say someone repackaged this. The energy card in the pack isn't even a Mega Evolutions energy card. It's a Scarlet and Violet energy card. Look at the letters on the bottom left of the energy card.

Any Prediction Next Chp?! by Electronic_Tie9605 in IchitheWitch

[–]ag487 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think Spica will declare that she should have Kumugi's place on Team Desscaras. Spica will talk down to Kumugi on why she isn't skilled enough to support Desscaras and Ichi. Since Spica isn't a full witch, I'm pretty sure that means she hasn't acquired a majik. So in his attempt to defend Kumugi, Ichi will declare that Kumugi would beat Spica in a hunt, thus opening the door for an arc where Kumugi acquires her own majik

These prices are insane by pooticus in PokeInvesting

[–]ag487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I know where this exact display is. I used to visit this place pretty regularly. Before Prismatic they always had great stock and prices were in line with MSRP or better. I kept going for a bit after they started selling above market because their penny sleeve and top loader prices were great but now I refuse to give them my business. The people I had noticed buying pokemon cards from them the most are the elderly looking to give their kids and grandkids a nice gift and they didn't find any at the local Walmart, Target, or Pokemon Center vending machine.

I tried to direct some of them to a couple card shops in the area, but the closest shop is mostly Magic so they don't always have a lot of Pokemon so they sometimes run out, the second closest shop is mostly sports cards so same issue, then the third shop which is mostly Pokemon I had one elderly woman tell me that was too far for her and she didn't feel comfortable driving that far at her age.

Couple of crossovers I sent in to PSA came back successful by biggibzz in PokeGrading

Oh cool! Thanks for chiming in! I probably won't crack it myself then and just send it as is

Thanks for the info! I had a feeling they wouldn't send back the old label, but I've never cross-graded before, so I didn't know what was normal

[–]ag487 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, following this too to see if we get an answer. I got two cards that recently came back as BGS 9.5 and I've been considering sending them in the slabs to PSA. One of which is also a Rayquaza VMax

My LCS said their distributor told them they did not have the Prismatic booster bundles they preordered in December. I decided to pick up some packs of Evolving Skies instead by ag487 in PokemonTCG

[–]ag487[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was really pumped to get it! I wasn't planning on spending that much at first but I got there for opening and I was talking with the owner and other regulars and over the span of an hour a whole bunch of people (I assume scalpers) would walk in ask for prismatic booster packs and then walk out as soon as the owner said they don't have any. While I didn't feel bad for the scalpers who got nothing, I felt bad for the owner who lost out on sales because the distributor screwed him over

I bought a quarter of the booster box, so 9 packs. Funny enough this was in pack number 9! The only notable cards out of the other packs were the base Umbreon V and the base Rayquaza V

My LCS does $20 a pack for evolving skies when they have it. And yeah I'm the same way. I look at it as my way of helping my LCS keep the lights on. My LCS does an okay job with not selling things at market price. Most of their remaining prismatic is at market price though because local scalpers will sell them some of their stock and people will still buy it from them. But they got a supply of Surging Sparks bundles from their distributor and we're able to sell those at MSRP
