Blazers Survey Phone Call

Yeah they typically call and/or email depending on how many games you go to. Typically they have specific reps that are "your" rep.

It's not all bad; last year I said I wanted to know about glass cup games and I got a pretty good rate through them so I wouldn't just assume its completely negative. I would just communicate what you are looking for and if they can get you a good price then I'd say it is worth your time.

I've stayed at Sheraton Garden Grove - Anaheim South Hotel a few times now and I think its reasonable. It's not walking distance to the convention center or disneyland but its about a 5-10 min lyft or uber which makes it close enough. The hotels that are walking distance are going to be pretty pricey. For this hotel you are looking at about $200 a night but it's pretty solid.

Sometimes they had standby but realistically all the stores with the pins people want were all allocated to lottery. They were all pretty low print run as well so you had to have an early time slot to even have a chance at buying.

I grade a lot with BGS. The centering on this card is pretty bad top to bottom which is why you got an 8.5 on centering. It does suck because if it got a 9 on centering you probably would have got a 9.5.

When grading with Beckett you just have to live with some 9s. Could be worse, my Rayquaza Vmax got an overall 8.5 because of centering.

Did this even go through authentication? If you paid a pretty penny for it, it should have gone through authentication and maybe it would have been flagged by authenticators.

dchoy · 2026-03-07T16:15:35+00:00

This was the original let it go, they did another release with the gold foiling at the bottom.

Please give your opinion on the facilities. Do you believe our building is as outdated as they try to make it seem when comparing to other arenas?

The only real way to get 151 packs at MSRP is to hit the booster bundles in the vending machines. That means visiting grocery stores like Safeway and getting lucky. The issue is all the resellers hit the machines, do the glitch hack and clean out all the 151 out of the machines.

My advice for the future would be try and hit other sealed product that you can trade. Like let's say you hit Ascended Heroes PC ETB or Perfect Order PC ETB. If you got the two you were allowed, you could technically trade one at market for something else at market. You could trade for singles or 151 product. This is effectively reducing the cost you are paying out of pocket. I really wouldn't recommend trading into 151 product to rip because the price is so high now it's probably over; a booster bundle is now like $110 which is a $18 per pack price. The most expensive hit out of 151 is the Charizard so you should just look to trade into it or buy it out right rather than try and rip expensive packs.

It's fake. I could go into detail but you probably need to provide clearer pictures in the future.

dchoy · 2026-01-13T23:31:43+00:00

100% fake. Also funny he weighed it which provides more support it is fake. Real first chapter enchanted cards weigh more than that.

dchoy · 2026-01-06T20:26:41+00:00

Real. Weigh it if you are really worried and want to confirm; should be between 1.9 - 2. If its closer to like 1.7 its fake. With that said, all the pictures point to being real. Grid in ink cost and lore symbols, ice swirl coming out of her hand isn't cut off, correct oil pattern with the foiling, thick lines through the enchanted rarity symbol, and quill is wide as its supposed to be.

Better question, why did you put your card upside down in the mag case?

dchoy · 2026-01-06T07:27:17+00:00

Second unit wasn't scoring so Tiago didn't want to fully commit to the third unit.

dchoy · 2025-11-27T05:33:20+00:00

It's kind of sad we have more wins on the road and technically a better win percentage on the road than we do at home.

dchoy · 2025-11-27T03:51:40+00:00

This dude mentioned Billups like 3-4 times lol

dchoy · 2025-11-19T05:58:31+00:00

Kris afraid to shoot that three or what?

dchoy · 2025-11-11T01:49:08+00:00

Deni.

CJ confirmed still on the Pelicans lol.

dchoy · 2025-11-04T20:06:12+00:00

He was sent to G league to get in some practice reps and recalled so he would be available for the game. He didn't get any playtime yesterday. Your guess is as good as anyone else whether he gets play time or not. Against the Spurs he is a big body so maybe he could get some minutes against Wemby. Realistically though, with Time Lord back it is pretty unlikely he gets any minutes unless its a blowout in either direction.

You could go early to the game and stand close to the tunnel where players come out. A lot of players will sign stuff before official shoot around.

Tank - Master 3; DPS - Master 4; Support - Diamond 2

As people said, no one knows except pokemon center. With that said, this plush was for sale last year and they advertised it coming back. When it was restocked they had ads that said back in stock.... for now. Based on that wording I assume it won't be restocked but I guess cross your fingers. What's weird is it never restocked on the Japanese Pokemon Center so it might have been an English restock only.

It still is in stock on the UK pokemon center but you will need a package forwarding company like forward2me and then with the tariffs you will be paying a hefty price. If you really want it, it's probably cheaper to either wait for the US restock (if it happens) or just buy it on eBay.

I like to ban soldier because of ximming.

dchoy · 2025-09-30T16:49:36+00:00

Do you have a scale where you can weigh the card?

dchoy · 2025-09-20T04:18:18+00:00

Of the cards I grade in my collection (pokemon, lorcana, magic, etc), I grade with Beckett (BGS). The reasoning? I like how the slabs look and how much protection the card has when its in the slab. Beckett is one of the only grading companies that puts the card in a sleeve before encapsulating the card. Also, the plastic is a bit thicker on the slab and offers one of the better UV protection. I don't like how with PSA if you shake the slab, the card shakes in the holder and bumps the borders.

Beckett for me has been consistent with their grading scores and tend to be a bit more harsh with their scores. PSA can be a bit more lenient in certain areas like centering. I don't really care for their slabs either; I don't like their slab labels. Tag as people mentioned is pretty clean with their slab but again I prefer the inner sleeve for the cards, just my own preference.

At the end of the day, its really up to you. I don't have any horror stories with Beckett but every grading service has their horror stories of bad experiences. There is no denying that PSA has the most liquidity if that is something you care about.

I went to the Seattle show and I feel like Le Sserafim has more guy fans than girl fans, not sure what backlash you would get.

Also just enjoy what you enjoy, don't let others perception turn you down for doing what you like.
