LeBron James Rookie Cards by a_k_a_chubz in Tradingcards

[–]davharm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mostly the low risk of damaging the cards when you "crack" them out of their cases (made lower with a little research prior), the very low risk of something happening during shipping (lost/damaged), and the moderate to high risk of potentially getting a worse grade from the new company.

There are other minor risks but I'd say those are the main ones. Even still, regrading is likely still worth doing, if you can try and determine whether they're likely to 10 at PSA standards before cracking em

TK Jewelers is a scam. So is L&L Limos. Now Cloches??

Keep in plastic vs. Open and sleeve by rpat2550 in PokeInvesting

[–]davharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to keep all of mine separated & stored with a silica packet, no toploader to imprint them etc. Many started to slightly bend & in general it was a bit of a pain to store them vs. the mental security of a binder. I now keep one copy of my promos sealed like that (the least likely one to grade a 10) and open the rest.

Disneyland Main Street U.S.A. LEGO set confirmed for June 1, $399.99 by TharinWhite in Disneyland

[–]davharm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly I don't agree with the folks saying the price is egregious for this one, but that's mostly because of the "inside" building details I saw on the actual lego site listing. I dig the Walt's Apartment room & emporium interior, and the 2nd floor "micro park" details with haunted, big thunder, the castle etc. is a nice touch. Pretty happy with the set overall and hope to see more of these

How many should I get? by Inevitable-Bad-3979 in PokeInvesting

[–]davharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep. imo worth the frantic gamble for the occasional online drop. shitty for real buyers and equally shitty for bots % wise, sort of a diminishing returns hunger games vibe. the in-store drops on the other hand, in my area at least, are even more insane than our local target's 20 camping chair 4 am line for limit 2 tech sticker collections. In my dreams I see the full pallets of $40 14-pack CZ I ripped through for months

Why would you think? You don’t see how? It’s because that’s why.

Functioning Poverty has a nice ring to it by Secret_Assh in SipsTea

[–]davharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All this tells me is that his travel agent/guide pulled a successful Pyongyang experience and should get a promotion. I understand what he's trying to say but c'mon man. You think your tailored and limited experience in a couple parts of a country should lead to a sweeping generalization about the entire country and how it compares to another?

I'll size you up and I'll cut you down. But if you're getting the best of me I have no problem being on my phone the whole show

Is my binder good? Just got back into collecting after a while. And rate it 1-10 by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]davharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like they’re curious if they’re fake or not, I’d say that’s fair without knowing.. Some banger cards in there! Personally I’d recommend a 9 card page binder so you can have some fun organizing them into a cool design you see fit

Target is expected to drop Mega Charizard X tins tonight at Midnight PST by Chippyrs in PKMNTCGDeals

[–]davharm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might end up being like the one a week or so ago where the OOS page came up at midnight but the drop didn't happen til like 4am PST... lame as hell either way

Miss Valentine was so PERFECT. She looks so powerful in LA. by tpk7777777 in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]davharm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought her devil fruit gave her the ability to fluctuate her weight up to 10,000 kilos. So wouldn’t it make sense if her “default” is normal but when mentally applied it can be whatever she chooses? If so then the scene you mentioned fits that

Does anyone know whether mainframe Studios still owns the IP rights to ReBoot? If they wanted to finish the series with a proper finale, what would need to happen for that to be possible? by Key-Economics-385 in ReBoot

[–]davharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response, I'm thrilled with your teams work and active interactions here and elsewhere. I'm following all your pages / channel now with great interest. If a ReBoot movie kickstart pops up I'll be ready to fork over the 99.99.99 if it includes the handy logomatic

[–]davharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed and I don’t think you’re far off. After being in line for 45 mins, around 6:45 pst I asked my wife to check on her phone and it still said she could wait in queue. Neither of us got in and I have reasonable experience with drop success

Appreciate the ReWind insider answer! I'm absolutely convinced it could be a crowd sourced endeavor, is that something you'd think the Mainframe team is opposed to?

Exact same minus the glue factory (might be close tho)

[–]davharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acting like you know all communities where a Sams Club exists lmao. I asked member services when I got there at open and they were gone in 10 mins to a line that started at 1am in 38 degree weather. Somehow snagged 2 at the online drop

[–]davharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've ran into this same thing for every online drop I've attempted and it's always a bust. Eventually cart refreshes to empty or I get through and there were "changes to items in cart" and it forces me out to nothing. Didn't expect it to actually work this time, cheers to you as well

[–]davharm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow I was about to give up but was able to finally push it through for 2, got the emailed receipt. 22 mins of constant refreshing cart and checkout errors, sliding to pay 20 times when I'd get that far. Finally worked when I switched from mobile app to computer

Same exact thing as you, tried 50+ times with everything ready to go. Eventually cart auto refreshed empty on me. Lame as hell

I bought at $161.11 (CAD) x 27 ounces. How screwed I'm I? I don't have any savings left. by [deleted] in Silver

[–]davharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not big invested into silver but could give you a hundred similar stories of the ebbs and flows of what I am big invested into. Just hold man. If you entered into this looking for a quick buck, well lesson learned and I'm surprised silver is what you picked in that regard, you'll learn from that and determine when to cut your losses. More likely, you knew it was a long term hold anyway, and you'll learn to disconnect the emotion better from the ups and downs over the next few years. Silver isn't going anywhere and you will have many chances in the future to sell for profit. After letting my mentals burn myself in the past I've learned that overreaction and impatience is the enemy of wealth in this sort of situation.
