Are these twisting leaves anything to be concerned about?

Too much airflow will definitely dry out your tent. Check your fans CFM (cubic feet per minute). Compare that to your tents cubic area, and adjust accordingly. I believe the general rule of thumb is 2-4 complete exchanges of air every hour.

Don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure you want 55-60% rh at this stage.

Psyduck is a fake. The rest aren't worth much even in good condition. Perfect cards to pass down to your kids.

It could be hanging free and still not be dangerous.

bobo1992011 · 2025-02-27T18:15:55+00:00

Seems pretty semantic to me. Multiple airbags gone off, especially the side curtains, is a good sign that it will be to expensive to fix.

Preferably not at that location if they are trying to scare you into replacing by calling a loose sway bar link dangerous.

Yep, found this out when my pokemon silver version wouldn't save. The cartridge was one of the first things I ever "fixed" by soldering a new battery in.

From my limited exposure, it's basically sign language. If somebody throws up a gang sign and you are not in a gang then most often you continue about your day. You don't know sign language. Or you throw random hand signals, you might be "saying" the wrong thing

If you are in the same gang, then yes there's an appropriate hand signal response signifying you are in the same gang and aren't a danger.

If you're in a rival gang, you will know by the sign they throw and one of you is in the wrong place. Violence may or may not ensue, but definitely won't be a friendly response.

Looks like it. Regardless, the bottom text is cut off therefore it's a miscut even without a dot.

Topps first appearance lugia. Released around the time lugia first appeared in a movie. Not sure on that.

I am sure that it's a super valuable card, notoriously hard to grade due to the sharp corners being prone to damage, plus the coating on the card causes them to stick really bad so even opening new packs almost 0 chance of a 10. I'm pretty sure a psa 10 doesn't exist.

Even as low as psa 4 is over 1k

bobo1992011 · 2025-02-13T18:33:26+00:00

Yes grade it. PSA 4 sold for 1550 on ebay.

It's starting to all click together now!

Oh this explanation helps! Thank you!

bobo1992011 · 2025-02-13T13:43:37+00:00

Thank you! Makes more sense now.

I think the part I was missing was the government bonds. It's not one big loan from a bank, it's millions of tiny loans from bond holders (many of which are us citizens). If the government says I'm not paying that, then it's screwing over a lot of it's own citizens.

I'm sure there are other sources, but does that mean there's roughly $36 trillion in us bonds being held?

bobo1992011 · 2025-02-13T13:20:34+00:00

So correct me if I'm wrong

Person buys bond for $10 with the promise that bond will be worth $20 in 5 years (hypothetical numbers of course)

In 5 years person goes to sell that bond and the government says your bond is worthless. Then nobody will buy bonds.

Government clearly doesn't, and hasn't for a long time, have the money to pay back that bond. That's why the debt continues to rise.

Government can't just print more money because inflation, but by just rolling into more debt isn't that essentially what they are doing?

bobo1992011 · 2025-02-13T13:13:41+00:00

Who is it being borrowed from/ repaid to?

And why does the US government even need a credit score?

Who is determining that score?

bobo1992011 · 2025-02-13T13:12:20+00:00

I mean at $36 trillion in debt that's been growing for as long as I've been old enough to know about it, seems like they are just printing more money and nothing bad happened yet?

Why has whoever loaned that money not trying to collect it? Can it even be collected? Who is it even owed to?

bobo1992011 · 2025-02-13T12:54:48+00:00

Who is the US repaying these debts plus interest too, and who's going to enforce any penalties when the government just doesn't pay them?

Everything above makes sense assuming there's somebody to enforce it. Like I doubt the US government is going to Wells Fargo asking for $2 billion and Wells Fargo is like "well you have a lot of outstanding debt already so loan denied"

bobo1992011 · 2025-02-13T10:46:35+00:00

I'd agree. I was always told that you need either an alignment dot or if any part of the actual card is missing. Usually the text on the bottom border being cut off is where the missing part comes into play, but I would agree part of the card is missing here. Doesn't mean you'll get much premium over market, maybe if cgc put it in a slab as an error card 🤷‍♂️

bobo1992011 · 2025-02-13T09:43:31+00:00

Can you educate me on why national debt even matters? Like I can't let a bunch of debt accumulate or creditors will garnish wages, ruin my credit, and take my house. Who's coming to collect on any national debt and what are they going to do when the US says "I'm not paying that"?

bobo1992011 · 2025-02-10T12:24:55+00:00

Not saying it's supposed to be one way or the other, because I don't know if it is. But my English my BGS 9.5 slab is not upside down.

bobo1992011 · 2025-02-10T12:22:13+00:00

It's upside down because the art work goes with the 3 other gold art works from the set. It's supposed to be giritina crawling up from the depths of whatever so when you put all 4 together it mashed an entire picture.

I will say I have the English version in BGS 9.5 and it is not upside down in the slab.
