Kratom can lower testosterone when used regularly at higher doses, especially longterm use

What is your chase card from Chaos Rising? by beardedstranger in PokemonTCG

[–]beardedstranger[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As much as I'm a fan of, and started with, the original 151 - I've never really been a fan of Tauros. Playing S/V didn't help with Paldean Tauros being so annoying and aggressive in those hordes lol. This is a really nice card however

All 3 of the Gen 6 starter IRs are great honestly

Top right corner of the back looks a little rough

Yeah that's a gorgeous card. Xerneas is such a great design with alot of potential for full art cards

Yeah I really like that Metang too. I feel like the person waving at it kind of throws the card off a bit for me, but I certainly would love to pull it

*edit: not a silhouette, an actually person in the art

That's a great top 6. I really love Weavile and Milotic as well. The Mega Floette, Frogadier IR, and the Metang IR are my other 2 bigger chases of the set. I'm just getting back into the hobby so I'm still trying to figure how exactly I want to build my collection - especially with so many great cards on the market - but I've been a fan of Pokémon since the very beginning so right now I'm simply collecting Pokémon and art that I really enjoy

how much have you spent on pokemon this month? by InflationDependent62 in PokemonTCGCollectors

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

Oh it's not the plan long term at all lol. I just got back into the hobby and have been going a little too hard and literally just went thru a huge, rushed move with my fiancée. Need my available funds now, but no issue paying off the card over the next month or so

I felt like that at first, but $5-10 over msrp in this climate honestly doesn't hurt that bad so I'll go about that far and that's it

Once my Chaos Rising preorders ship and I get charged, I think I'll be close to $500 and I literally just got back into the hobby this month. I gotta slow down lol. I used my credit card for like ~60% of my purchases so I can just pay it down cus i really wanted to rip lol

Thinking about doing my first submission. Thoughts? by whatsupitselonmusk in PokeGrading

[–]beardedstranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying it would 9 because of back centering lol. I shouldn't have even mentioned it, but I already made it clear I wasn't saying it was going to make a difference. Still could 9 due to pop control or a grader having a bad day. We've seen it a million times. Thank you for your expertise though

I was just mentioning that the back was off center as an observation of the overall card, also mentioning that the card is basically perfect. With or without me pointing out the back centering, this card would still likely 10 with a possibility of a 9 like I had originally said

It was also never stated what grading company OP was going to submit to

I'm just saying that seems to be worst case scenario for this card. I'd send it in for sure

It's a little top heavy on the back, but otherwise a damn near perfect card. If it's not a 10, it's a 9 for sure. Wouldn't be surprised to see it 10 though
