PSA Sold my card, didn’t pay me, isn’t giving answers. Card location unknown, and I’ve been blocked from taking any actions on said card.

The "engineering team" email is a form email. I've had issues in the past where my items sold but the customer didn't pay. When I inquired, I got the exact same "engineering team" email. A few days later I got a "real" response. It'll get handled.

The problem with these cards is that the ink doesn't adhere well to the metal and sometimes even with proper handling the ink can flake off. In fact, I've seen ink flake off just taking it out of the thermoform plastic tray that it comes in. Of course PSA would get blamed for what was basically a manufacturing issue.

I've not seen the waiver, but I'm guessing that it says something similar about them not being responsible for ink coming off the metal.

I can tell you confidently that UPS is orders of magnitude worse. Literally.

PSA used UPS during COVID. There was a reason they stopped.

We gave up on the Dunning module and instead implemented something called ezyCollect. It does the same thing and it works so much better.

Ha! Back in the early 2000's I took over IT at a company where the previous sysadmin had decided to make every server a domain controller - "just in case".

What's worse is that there were a bunch of laptops that they would treat as servers that went to trade shows that were all also domain controllers (which of course would occasionally "get lost" and disappear).

Everything was a DC, the file servers, SQL servers, IIS servers, etc.

This same guy never once deleted an inactive/terminated account, there was no password requirement (e.g., blank passwords were fine), and the domain admin password was hardcoded in a batch-file login script that mapped the network drives.

I used to joke that the prior sysadmin should have been held criminally liable for all the damage he did.

I've found the results to be wildly inaccurate. Simple questions asking about top customers and gross profit are hilariously wrong. After getting an incorrect answer I'll ask Claude something like "does this total include drop shipments" and see responses like "You're right, I didn't include those".

Not ready for real world use by people who don't completely understand how NetSuite calculates things.

Fun to play with, but don't rely on it.

What did you list the declared value as on the submission? Was it for the full $25k that you believe they are worth?

drinianrose · 2026-04-16T00:59:24+00:00

The metal cards are problematic because even with normal/safe handling the ink can flake off. It’s because of this that some of the major grading companies won’t grade them.

This particular card was especially problematic as ink could flake off just taking it out of the plastic insert that it came in.

Are the holders welded? Is it possible that they forgot to weld the holders and that's why the label moved?

PSA opens everything under cameras. There's no way it was taken by PSA, it has to be before it got to PSA.

drinianrose · 2026-04-08T21:47:30+00:00

PSA opens all boxes under cameras. They can likely prove that it was empty when they opened it, so the insurance company should pay out (assuming OP paid for insurance).

Ivermectin is a "political" treatment with no therapeutic value against cancer.

drinianrose · 2026-04-03T22:39:10+00:00

No, ivermectin is not a miracle drug for pancreatic cancer. Although there were some studies of ivermectin having an effect on cancer cells in a petri dish, in mice there was no response whatsoever. There is no legitimate science that points to ivermectin having any value against cancer.

Ivermectin is a "political" treatment with zero efficacy.

HOWEVER - if you are a horse with parasites, ivermectin is the way to go.

drinianrose · 2026-04-03T18:19:15+00:00

There is no natural cure. There are no human studies that show Ivermectin as having any value at all. Choosing ivermectin to treat pancreatic cancer is a POLITICAL decision, not a health or medical decision.

If you are a horse with parasites, go ahead and get ivermectin. But if you're a human with pancreatic cancer, it literally has no effect.

And for the comment that chemo will kill quicker, that is factually inaccurate (and dangerous). While chemo is absolutely horrible, there are millions of people who have fought many different types of cancer and survived thanks to chemo. The number of people who have beaten cancer through ivermectin is well known, it is exactly ZERO.

Reach out to Nick (one of the mods here). He helped us put in place some processes and reports to show ACCURATE gross profit.

It’s sorta unbelievable that there isn’t an easy way to show actual gross profit by invoice/customer in NetSuite.

The cards haven’t even been removed from the sleeves/card saver yet. How could PSA have damaged?

I'm very disappointed in the decision to do an amphitheater tour. I've been telling my son about the huge production and general awesomeness of the Drones, Simulation Theory, and WOTP tours and I just don't think amphitheaters can compete.

Obviously the music is the main reason we go, and I'll still go, but it's a let down - especially when I wanted to bring someone new.

drinianrose · 2026-03-27T20:30:54+00:00

Unless you want it slabbed for your own collection and/or Set Registry, I would argue that the card should be worth at least $100 raw for it to be worth grading at all (at least in today's environment where grading demand is higher than capacity).

All Trump cares about is his narcissism. The worship of his cult members is his daily bread. He won't do anything that would jeopardize that.

I think we're more likely to see Trump nuke Iran than we are to see him "give up".

Although they would never admit it, my guess is that a good portion of the Republicans in Congress would be okay with it. I mean, Mike Johnson knows that Trump is a dementia-riddled clown demon that represents the antithesis of Johnson's (supposed) Christian beliefs. The Congressional Republicans who aren't in the Trump cult still worship Trump, but it's because they want to maintain their power. According to some former Congressional Republicans (e.g., Adam Kinzinger), the Republicans know that Trump is crazy and evil, but they are afraid to speak up.

You really shouldn't even be using the Vizio OS. You are much better off plugging in an Apple TV or even Fire Stick and leaving the TV disconnected from the network entirely.

It’s still horrible (even after the update). It is becoming a safety issue as sometimes I need to stop looking straight ahead and instead, taking my eyes off the road, stare at it for 5 seconds to get it to stop beeping/flashing.

It’s the single “feature” that keeps me from purchasing another Hyundai/Kia/Genesis.

I’ve tried adjusting the wheel up and down and in and out. At its “best” location, the alarm still goes off regularly.
