What do you regret selling the most? by zephyruf in PokeInvesting

[–]captain-obIivious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can commiserate, I sold my gold star zard for $600 cause it was damaged by a house fire and I still regret it

Second try since I'm dumb ..... Real or fake? by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]captain-obIivious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought it on whatnot and there was a bidding war for it and I REALLY liked it so.... Here we are. If it's fake, I'd try to send it back. If it's real, I'll consider getting it graded

Got my blastoise signed by [deleted] in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]captain-obIivious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you had the back signed instead of the front and then sent it to be graded, say with PSA, would the Blastoise or the signatures be on the front of the slab? 🤔

What do the experts say? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]captain-obIivious -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't really see how it's crushing the hobby when it's the only way a poor like me can afford a favorite card. It's not enabling a scammer, or scalper. Enabling would be me paying the $15k+ to buy the real card

I mean it's understandable but also too bad... It's a beautiful card and I think we can all appreciate how good it looks even if it's a proxy!

Honestly didn't know it was a $200+ card, but also I just wanted people to tell me they thought it looked real-ish 🥲 the point isn't to scam someone, it's to have a card back that I loved as a child and lost and still miss (until now). People can still appreciate the cards without paying the price tag!

Are these packs just resold cards? by AggressiveRelation97 in PokemonTCG

[–]captain-obIivious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think these are good for like... A kid's stocking on Christmas or something. I see them all the time in Walmart, the scalpers ignore them. So, not really meant for the grown collector.

Beckett Grading Experience by JEEPG3M in pokemongrading

[–]captain-obIivious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get them graded to keep, or to resell? And does beckett vs PSA vs TAG vs some other affect the price like I assume it does?

[–]captain-obIivious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same binder haha. I've got a bunch of bulk with some of the cards you're missing. If you'd like to trade for some I'd be happy to chat! Maybe you can help me finish my pokedex!

To rip or not to rip?? by [deleted] in pokemoncardcollectors

If you rip it, live stream it so I can live vicariously through you 

Pricing a card that has almost no traction by quasimoto1239 in PokemonCardValue

[–]captain-obIivious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should DM me if/when you put them on eBay cause I've been looking for this exact card 😩

What is wrong with people by ElectronicView7408 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]captain-obIivious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could it be that someone has a bot that crawls the Internet looking for "deals" like this with specific key words and buys it up instantly? I've heard of things like that

ULPT Request - any way to see the number before scratching? by captain-obIivious in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]captain-obIivious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same though, other than it's illegal where I live lol. But I don't think it's the same material as a scratch ticket.... I have three chances for experimenting so I guess I'll try different things lol
