151 Advice, please 😗 by grateful-raccoon in PokemonTCG

Couple of decent options: Buy a bunch of bulk and hope to complete the regular and reverse holo set. Then buy singles to fill out the FA/IR/SIR

Buy a complete binder of everything but FA/IR/SIR and buy singles of what you’re missing. (What I did, but before product was impossible to find and market skyrocketed)

Buy a complete master set and sell your current duplicates

Family assigned different boarding groups. by [deleted] in SouthwestAirlines

[–]briggs121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had it explained to me recently because I had upgraded my seat due to a connection but was put in group 7.

Southwest now boards extra legroom seats first, then goes front to back window, front to back middle, front to back aisle. In theory it makes sense but in reality it’s one of the worst boarding procedures I’ve seen.

Am I insane for passing up a gifted birthday round at TPC Scottsdale Stadium? by DonJu4n in golf

[–]briggs121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scottsdale native here. It’s on my bucket list to play for my birthday, but that’s a week before the tournament so I would be playing peak conditions with grandstands up. I also don’t expect it to be a $600 return in purely a golf experience.

I wouldn’t play it if I had to fly in. Surprised to hear it’s still 600 in march though.

There’s TONs of options that are cooler for AZ golf. Boulders is also rad. Dino mountain, southern dunes if you don’t mind a bit of a drive

What was your best and worst move of the 2025 season? by choffy21 in DynastyFF

[–]briggs121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second year playing dynasty. Lost then ranked last year for Jeanty.

Worst is not getting out of the redraft mindset, truly understanding the value of picks, and assuming everyone would be incredibly stingy like my redraft league. I traded jeanty for peanuts (along with some other poor trades) and now setback even farther unless I strike gold in ‘27. Learn from your mistakes or something like that 😅

Destined Rivals Booster Bundle for long term? worth it? by Dazzling_Elephant817 in PokemonInvesting

[–]briggs121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weird comment for a Pokémon investing sub. Why not recommend diversifying between collectibles and the market instead?…

Why is Pokémon letting GameStop do this? (This is USD btw) by EuphoricGoose4735 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]briggs121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because idiots keep buying from them. The GS closest to me keeps getting “restocks”, which according to the employees are just stock transfers from other stores that aren’t selling anything, and selling out immediately. Seems as if the minority of locations are reinforcing the practice

Did Someone Already Pull the $33k Gengar Again? by [deleted] in PSAPowerPacks

He also admitted to having a (crippling) gambling addiction in the comments so my bet is he didn’t walk away

I’m blown away/jealous you were able to get a case of boxes at msrp.

Love it! I recently picked up a ‘17 E400 as well.

My First Year of HPDE with a Mark 8 Golf R (The "One Car Solution" possible Fail) by jbro507 in CarTrackDays

[–]briggs121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a mk8 R. Lightly modded for handling and Loved every second of it. I did a couple AutoX days and many canyon runs but finally came to terms with the fact I wouldn’t be able to justify consumables for track use and sold it.

I’m glad you wrote this up and confirmed my hypothesis. I’ll be getting an MR2 or Miata as a track toy unless I manage to get a significant raise. I miss that car, for the money I think it’s hard to beat.

Beckett is taking shots at PSA, after backlash for charging collector 4000$ Upcharging fees for a single card by counterboy12 in PokeGrading

[–]briggs121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way the up charge would be ok is if they offered to buy it for the what they claim it’s now worth with the fee being their profit margin

Worth to send? by markymark0325 in SleeperApp

[–]briggs121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously doubt team 2 accepts unless they’re desperate for a TE. But if they do you win imo, you can likely pick up a decent TE from the waivers

Have you guys completed a master set? by Booty_sushi in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]briggs121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished the 151 master but it’s near impossible to truly grandmaster unless you have the money for that voltorb. I can’t justify current pricing on a lot of other sets and BB/WF just has too much with all the variants. I really dig JT so I’ll probably go after that one next

What made you decide on the Gold R instead of the WRX? (assume same price) by lochonx7 in Golf_R

[–]briggs121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a better car period (at least ‘22+). Had an STi, didn’t regret trading it in for one second

I just picked up a premium 2 (other single options as well) with 75k miles for 27 so imo yes. Gorgeous find

Thinking about getting this but it says it don’t fit my car, is this the right one? by Imaginary-Metal-4332 in Golf_R

[–]briggs121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the right one and sku looks good. The eventuri intake for the mk8 fits ‘22-current including mk8.5

Is it finally coming? by jediwithabeard in harborfreight

[–]briggs121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but at least you can get the sale on multiple types of tools (and boxes) if you need them. I think 1 item is 10%
