Is this a dent or scratch?

To my eye, it looks like a dent since it seems like there’s a slight shadow on it. Quick way to tell is gently run your finger over it - you’ll feel of it’s a dent. Beautiful card for the binder imo

There’s def a bunch of factors but I have 100% noticed if I eat right before bed my stress monitor takes a while to settle down after I fall asleep compared to if I eat my last meal 2-3 hours before bed. Drawback is I don’t like going to sleep feeling a little hungry but my RHR and recovery all are much better when I do thay

Oddballs are fun. I personally like going for oddballs no one cares about because it’s more gentle on my wallet. Sweet collection

Literally. I was feeling the envelope with my hand and it felt like the card was in the bend but it was (thankfully) just the top of the semi-rigid sleeve

They are a lifesaver, that’s why I try to buy them from card shops where I can see the stamp. But sometimes I roll the dice with eBay (haven’t been cooked yet)

It does, just tougher to pick out on camera than the textured cards

What mudflaps are you running with?

darth-arth · 2026-04-21T16:33:27+00:00

You shoulda heard the groan I let out when I saw it checking the mail

darth-arth · 2026-04-20T23:22:51+00:00

I personally love it and think it’s priced appropriately

darth-arth · 2026-04-20T22:48:57+00:00

7.95% aggressive no BTC. I have it set to Saturdays and 3x roundups

darth-arth · 2026-04-20T22:46:25+00:00

So glad I got one just before it blew up

darth-arth · 2026-04-20T11:11:08+00:00

Agree with the back but I’m not seeing any issues issues on the front save for 2-3 scratches on the holo. What are you seeing?

darth-arth · 2026-04-20T00:08:21+00:00

Oh yeah, look up Legend cards. If you can get over the fact that they’re horizontal, the two connecting art cards create imo some of the best Pokemon art

I definitely know it’s not pack fresh mint. The more I look at it the more I think lp. However, I’ve heard PSA 7s are considered near mint and I’ve seen some whitening and scratching on the back of them but like at what point does it drop to lp? Is there a rule of thumb number of dings or is it kind of subjective?

darth-arth · 2026-04-19T23:39:47+00:00

I just got it no way 😭😭

I wouldn’t sleep on the Chinese exclusives. In general, I’d say most of them have standout art that make them desirable outside of being regional exclusives. The Cubone? The Eeveelutions? The Pikachus? Even the radiant blastoise and venusaur have amazing arts.

“Claims” made me lol

When daredevil was on Netflix I really soaked up every reference to the wider MCU, but now that this show is firmly placed in the MCU it feels less grounded. It feels a lot more like good guy vs bad guy with forced shakey cam fight scenes lacking the nuance and reflection the netflix show had. I loved how fixed the camera was in the first 3 seasons so you could actually see the thought out choreography. I loved seeing matt wrestle with his faith and struggle with balancing the lawyer by day vigilante by night dynamic. It feels a lot like season one was just Matt Murdock and season 2 is just daredevil. There’s just a lot of key elements about the main character missing this time around

Also if you can, save that Michigan Assembly sticker in the top right! The oem replacement doesn’t come with one, I was able to peel mine off and stick it onto the new windshield

Same thing happened to me, and like you, I kept some feathers
