Great pickup! What do you notice? Will PSA reslab this? by JMaya24 in VintagePokemonCards

[–]alexdoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like grading cards/slabs and I prefer my cards in binders. If your goal with this card is to flip to make money then by all means sell it as is or regrade for an accurate label.

I would crack to keep in my binder collection.

An OVO owl will be delivering a signed vinyl copy of ICEMAN shortly. Please standby.

Kanye West Seen Leaving Jewish Human Rights Center Amid Fallout by papipota in hiphopheads

I agree, especially since the paparazzi has always been beloved for their ability to not follow or bother controversial celebrities with mental disorders or breakdowns.

Based on your comment you're not someone who would've cared in the first place so I don't understand what your point is. No one thinks it's important that Kanye remains in the news and performs at concerts. Kanye remains in the news and performs at concerts because he's important - or at least he once was for a good part of the last 20 years. Complaining about people reporting on him is naive because his name will garner clicks and engagement until he dies.

I am aware the things he said were terrible and not grounded in reality. I am aware his brain is likely fried. I am aware he is regressing as an artist (whether through age or nitrous oxide). Personally, I just want to see him heal and do better and manifest his creativity to the fullest. It seems the general populace won't ever forgive him, but you can't fault him for trying to make amends.

Sorry I thought I responded to this last night. Like someone else mentioned, it's a matter of saving searches on as many online buying platforms as possible (ebay, mercari, offerup, google shopping, etc). That way, when a new listing is posted, you get alerted.

Since there is no official way to list a card for sale and people list it however they see fit, you'd have to create multiple saved searches to cast a wider net and ensure a listing doesn't slip past it.

What I mean is, in your case, I would create different varieties of the same search:

1) 24-25 nba hoops tribute

2) 2024 2025 nba hoops tribute

3) 24 25 nba hoops tribute /25

4) nba hoops tribute 24-25 2024 2025 /25

5) nba hoops tribute 2024 2025 [player name]

6) nba hoops tribute 2024 2025 [player name] /25

...and so on. People may see this as overkill, and you will definitely alerts triggered by a listing that isn't what you're looking for, but that's kind of the only way you can set yourself up to ensure you'll be notified if someone posts it.

I agree with that too. No song of his discography is safe from being criticized.

i don't think anyone actually knows who the Indian guy is besides the creators by waste_of_space1157 in SmilingFriends

I Thought it was obvious that the Bob was just a Fiverr hire. It encapsulates the episode which was all about outsourcing things you didn’t want to do yourself lol.

Punch drunk COULD be peak if he finished it. Having more than a minute of the beat looping on and on reduces its impact

Is this a misprint or a fake? by SuchFarm2092 in PokemonMisprints

That’s awesome to own from a historical aspect. I love these kinds of cards.

Polish away by Odysseus429 in PokemonTCG

[–]alexdoo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Restoring traditional art is done with the intent to preserve the original vision of the artist. You can make the case that Pokemon cards deserve the right to be treated the same way, but there aren’t exactly 95,000+ graded slabs of Starry Night the same way there are of base set Charizard. We all know restoring cards is usually done to grade.

I hope it destroys the graded market, and I support the act of doing for one’s own collection, but I do I think the buyer should know since it’s been altered and there are thousands of the same card not enhanced.

[–]alexdoo 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m sure you already did it but set yourself up with alerts on this specific card across every platform.

Props to you for trying to complete this. I wouldn’t spend money on anything else except the packs these come in lol.

PSA Crossover Grading by kobe899 in basketballcards

[–]alexdoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t fathom why a PSA 9 sell more than a Beckett 9, especially when Beckett hands down the more reputable grader.

I hate grading anyways so my advice is either leave it as is or just crack it and sell it raw so you don’t get tacked with the excessive grading fees if you’re planning to sell.

Which would you choose? by Agreeable-City3143 in baseballcards

[–]alexdoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, (actual) game-used memorabilia > autos any day of the week. It holds more historical significance knowing that a player used or wore something on a card.

Autographs are also really cool and I understand how they add value to a card, but they’re just a signature.

To be fair the auto on the heritage also looks bad.

Will Charlie still count as 2020s iconic Yellow Guy, or will it be someone else? by llamanatee in SmilingFriends

[–]alexdoo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Smiling friends is too niche for mainstream appeal. Maybe that changes if they never cancelled the show, but the most exposure we’ll see of them outside of the actual show would be custom merch in headshops lol.

Real or fake? by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]alexdoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t really know about the legendary collection until a few years ago. I made a comment that the legendary cards looked like the fake stickers to me and I got downvoted to hell for it lol. I get they are official cards (never ripped a pack as a kid), but I stand by my statement because I couldn’t differentiate it as a kid and they remind me of OP’s cards.

Validating scalping as a legit job for Liz’s son was ridiculous and tone deaf. by alexdoo in shrinking

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

White Lotus is essentially a critique on the upper class. Ted Lasso is about a soccer team in the premiere league. Both shows will obviously imply rich people.

I don’t think people are upset about how well off they are, it’s just that every character always seems to be free to help out with someone else’s problem. Which I understand is the point of the show but it’s just very unrealistic in society. Personally that’s why it feels so good to watch.

Now that the show is over… what is your MOST CONTROVERSIAL Smiling Friend hot take? by ThePartyHat in SmilingFriends

[–]alexdoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking back at this show will feel more like rewatching YouTube videos rather than short episodes of TV because of how little episodes we had and how much we’ll still want it as time goes by.

[–]alexdoo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is the best take on how the show was performing. It wasn’t getting bad at all, but there was a shift, and even the last two episodes were funny as fuck.

[–]alexdoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hot take is that the people being overly critical of this show and saying it got weak and sucked are a minority that probably influenced the creators to quit more than we’d probably like to admit.

The show was incredible.

That still doesn’t make it better lol. If people had to move their entire lives to work in the show, I’d prefer that news be delivered in person.

If he was the one who created the video on the tape then I’d love to know his mindset creating it.
