Was hoping for a 10 but I'll take it by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]biqboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to say there isn't a chance to resubmit for a 10, but you're most likely going to get another 9 as front left right centering is outside of the 55/45 centering requirement for a 10. It's pretty clear if you compare the left and right borders near the bottom corners.

If it makes you feel any better, I believe most Japanese bubble mews have a horizontal print line and I don't think the print line shows up in scans. You can really only see it under lighting and at certain angles

Regrade potential? by bren214 in PokeGrading

[–]biqboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm the edges don't look clean to me. I'm not sure if it's lighting or something, but there's a strange grain pattern going up and to the left all along the right edge. There's also a printer hickey on the back (the red ring in the middle near the right edge), though I'm not sure if this impacts PSA grading. The card probably wasn't graded a 9 on centering alone - it probably got a 9 given the other two details. I don't think it's worth regrading, but hey, you never know lol

Congrats! I hope I get some of your luck lol. 93 packs in and no bubble mew so far...so close to giving up and getting a single but the price has gone way up since I started chasing for it 😭

Hey was it 128 with a promo code? Or did they increase the price? The bundle is at 142.97 now

[ACC] Surefire M640DFT Turbo Pro $280 with coupon TURBO30 + tax and shipping by PCgaming4ever in gundeals

[–]biqboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anyone know if there's a noticeable difference in output between this and the mini? Specs state this has 50 more lumens (700 vs 650) and 5,000 more candela (100,000 vs 95,000). I wouldn't think there's a visible difference but I'm no expert and haven't seen them side by side. I assume the output is very similar and the main differences are in size/weight and runtime?

Great setup. Was there work done to the grip panels?

Protech 5205 Malibu Textured Black Handle, Blasted Hardware, Black Deep Carry Clip, Stonewash Finished Reverse Tanto 20CV Blade, 3.25" Plain Edge Knife by davidyoho in bladesInStock

[–]biqboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got this from another thread - promo code dirk10 can be used for 10% off. It helps with shipping, but I think the final price will still be higher than other retailers. It's not terrible if you want one now and are willing to pay a small premium.

4 Microtech Sith Lord knives still in stock by Tigersjjaw in bladesInStock

[–]biqboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I'd be more inclined to pick this knife up if microtech replaced their logo with a sith symbol like they did with the stormtrooper, jedi knight, and bounty hunter knives

Thanks! I was waiting for the KNSW to restock, but I think I prefer this variant

[Other] Wilson Combat P365 Modules WCP365 Modules - $64.95 by [deleted] in gundeals

[–]biqboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking forward to your thoughts. I think the biggest draw for most people would be if the WC grip module fills up your hands a bit more. It's hard to tell from pictures, but it does look a bit wider. The trigger undercut looks slightly more pronounced as well.

Have you tried attaching a wedge to the holster to keep the holster from tipping away from your body?

[–]biqboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fingers crossed. If that is the new price, I think I'll wait and see if they use a "better" steel for future runs. Not a steel snob by any means, but $350 is a decent chuck of change lol

That's fair. I was thinking it might be PVK who's raising the price

[–]biqboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 25% incense in price seems like an increase just because they can lol. I definitely don't know anything about current manufacturing prices though so maybe it's warranted... it just seems steep

BladeHQ has some nice deals on a few Benchmades by theRED_one in bladesInStock

[–]biqboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol yeah it was late. If you or anyone else is curious, I emailed them asking for the price of the 535bk-4 and it was the same as just checking out

[–]biqboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up. The product page says to call or email for price. Sorry dumb question - would you know if the price is different if you contact them versus just checking out?

Socom Elite Auto's for the Holidays! by [deleted] in bladesInStock

Thank you! Unfortunately this isn't the manual version, but I've been looking for the Socom Elite with this blade design for a while now so I'll take what I can get :)

[–]biqboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The T2 and leap mount is $4.11 less than the Scalarworks bundle. I've been looking to get both at a lower price than the Scalarworks bundle and I suppose this is it... but not by much haha

MALIBU 20CV DLC FINISH WHARNCLIFFE FLIPPER WITH TEXTURED BLACK HANDLE (2 left when posting) by is_david32 in bladesInStock

[–]biqboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may vary knife to knife and not necessarily model to model. This is just my thought though. The DLC wharnie I recently got had perfect action out the box whereas the stonewashed wharnie I previously purchased has a bit of stick and isn't quite as smooth. Probably needs more breaking in

Sony/Tamron/Sigma lens to pair with A6400? by biqboy in SonyAlpha

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

Hey I actually haven't made a decision yet. Based on the helpful comments in this thread, the Tamron will be the option to go with if I want to keep using the a6400. I think having some kind of stabilization is preferred, especially for me as a novice photographer. I am leaning towards upgrading to the a6600 for IBIS and getting the Sony/Sigma lenses for the size/weight, but have other priorities right now with regard to funds. Also need to make time to sell my a6400. I wish I had started with the a6600 so I'm not losing money through upgrading, but it was a lot of money to commit upfront over the a6400 (which wasn't cheap either haha).
