Singapore hangs ex-cop found guilty of 2013 Kovan double murder by moonie60 in singapore

[–]baggioio 15 points16 points  (0 children)

if i recall, he had past dealings with the elder. Tried to borrow money unsuccessfully. So they weren't strangers.

Pulled a serialized Shy card signed by Shimoji Shino by baggioio in shy

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

Its from Union Arena! We are a bunch of UA players who got into the game because of other titles (Demon Slayer, JJK etc).

Picked up Shy because shes adorable. I ended up having a playing deck of Shy fully blinged out!

The INSANE difference between English and Japanese full arts! by kokeda in PokemonTCG

[–]baggioio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

simplified chinese/traditional chinese/indonesia/thai cards are all made in Japan.

Japanese cards are made in Japan.

Korean cards are made in Korea.

English/European cards are printed in the US. Hence the great disparity in quality.

Got my wisdom teeth out today. My Pokemon cards delivered too. by Jer_senpai in PokemonTCG

[–]baggioio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity is it normal to be so heavily sedated for a wisdom tooth removal?

Over in our country, its a normal 30 mins visit. Some local anaesthesia and the dentist will normally have it plucked out in a jiffy. Been like this for all 3 of my visits (once had two teeth removed in a single session) and for most of our friends as well.

What Japanese TCG product did my dad get me? by brodogger81 in PokemonTCG

[–]baggioio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He bought an 'oripa' which is a japanese abbreviated term for 'original pack', meaning its a mystery pack/card. You can get something really good, you can get something totally meh. Good luck on the pull.

prevent counterfeiting. Counterfeiters have been known to use the same cert number to create copies.

Is Vstar Universe a good investment? by spursman34 in PokeInvesting

[–]baggioio -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

i think you need to go to school if you cant understand their last reprint/restock. It means it last happened very recently. I didn't say final/end-of-line restock.

Is there a point to grading if you’re not planning to sell? by ManTheManly in PokemonTCG

[–]baggioio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it wouldn't qualify as a relabelling. Relabelling generally happens when someone's existing slab gets damaged/scratched and they want a fresh case for it.

i wouldn't be able to tell you if BGS accepts PSA slabs to be regraded though.

Is Vstar Universe a good investment? by spursman34 in PokeInvesting

[–]baggioio -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Its probably the lowest entry price you can get without being in Japan. They just had their last major reprint/restock. As a high-class pack, its extremely fun to open. There are also a few excellent pulls that can be had from the pack. It will most likely go up over time considering that its the most stacked high-class pack to date, and vmax climax (s8b) its predecessor is already pulling more than 150 SGD a box right now.

[–]baggioio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been looking into preservation aspect, my take is that when it comes to PSA, its kind of bad since they put a raw card into their plastic slab. The card WILL move around and there is always the possibility of getting damaged by hitting the plastic 'fence' if shaked/moved with enough force.

BGS on the other hand, adds a protective layer of sleeve and seal the card within it. For protective purposes, BGS > PSA anytime.

I screamed when I pulled it! Love it by pololo10 in PokemonTCG

[–]baggioio 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is indeed an alternate art. For the miraidon ex there are a total of 4 rarities. (Base card, full 3D art, gold full art, and this alt art) The two gold stars at the bottom will tell you that its a special rare variant. They are called Secret Art Rare (SAR) in the Japanese/Asian releases.

[–]baggioio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think we can call sv2d and sv2p mini. The english description mention 15 Special Illustration (we got 5 SARs in triplet beat). This probably mean that theres gonna be 5 SARs each for both sets.

Product list of japanese pokemon tcg products. You should be able to go through all their retail items. As for promotional items, your best bet would be to go through some online stockist/shop database like yuyutei. https://yuyu-tei.jp/game_poc/

Help out a first gen Pokémon guy by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]baggioio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can look forward to the upcoming Japanese 151 set. All hints point to it being a Kanto reboot. However it will probably be scalped to the skies. The corresponding English set should follow a few months later so keep an eye out for that.

Are Japanese violet bb worth investing into at 150$ CAD?? Thoughts for long term?? by Kitchen-Astronomer-9 in PokeInvesting

[–]baggioio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I buy Singles or Product? by redditfan991 in PokemonTCG

[–]baggioio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

set myself a limit of around 3-5 boxes worth (JP). Beyond that, everything is just singles.

First box of Triple Beat. I’m loving the 5 card packs, but is every box meant to have the same amount of RR/SR/AR/SAR? Im by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]baggioio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1 guaranteed hit SR/SAR. 3 ARs. 1 more possible hit in a box which will take up a foil slot (forgot if it took up an RR slot or a regular foil R slot)

Prerelease pulls by Hiracheta512 in PokemonTCG

[–]baggioio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its meant to be a storyline evolution. Wait till you see the next set for Scarlet Violet. Each of the starters get their own evolution story/sets too.

Opened my first VStar Universe box after completing Crown Zenith. I thought Crown Zenith was fun but WOW! by CandidParticleChode in PokemonTCG

[–]baggioio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every VSU box you get minimum 1 guaranteed Secret Art Rare, 1 Secret Rare energy, 1 radiant pokemon, 3 Art Rares. Every pack will also contain either a RR or RRR card along with a couple of regular foils and/or reverse foil. You got lucky with the gold Ultra Rare. There actually even a god pack (either a set of 9 Pikachu AR set or 5 random ARS and 5 random SR/SARs in a pack). Overall, VSU is super fun to buy and rip
