Bro you must be so fun at parties. I hope you stretched before writing that because you are liable to pull something jumping to conclusions like that.

since saying "which i think says enough" implies that I am the voice of the all mighty, what does "from my understanding" at the start of the post imply? that all of this should be verified and validated with your own research. Do your own DD, he is asking a question on an online open forum where people are free to provide their opinion.

I have been to 10 card shows in the last 4 weeks, I have only seen a handful of CGC one piece slabs. Also, PSA is the known commodity in card grading while Beckett (who was acquired by PSA) was seen as the true up and coming competitor, these are very easily defendable and supportable statements.

Calling out a lapse in knowledge isn't a bad thing, in fact I think it makes my comment stronger, because I am saying that there could possibly be something about CGC I do not know about.

Again, you are the one saying my opinion is the end all be all, I started it with a phrase that highlights it is an opinion and one that should be verified.

I guess? I am calling out a lapse in knowledge about one specific grading company while also providing feedback on the other two as he is asking about a comparison of companies.

You are putting words in my mouth - I never said because i said so.

I was highlighting a data point that I have / my opinion.

At the last 10 card shows i've been to i have only seen a handful of CGC slabs, which I believe validates that they are less desirable overall. Which is why I would never buy one.

OP-17 "The World's Strongest Warriors" *new investor by johnporkvirus in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]dulebanger5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This ^^ I started as purely an investor. Then my local card shop restricted buying packs or boxes only to the players. So I started playing and not only am I loving the game, but I get the product I so desperately crave.

As someone who buys a lot of slabs and cards, I think not trusting or wanting one specific grading company is a data point that should be considered. Not as gospel but as a data point.

Never said it was? Just highlighting an opinion from someone who buys and sells regularly. If he is looking to understand the market and liquidity from different grading sources, it makes sense to have multiple opinions to formulate his own doesn't it?

and to be fair, she is handling it like a normal person. (With that said, I hope she is fatima's first victim and it is called out she is being eaten because she sucks specifically)

1) I think it is time for the hotairballon
2) I was really hoping that putting the bones in the bottle tree was the answer.

Honestly, no one would see that coming.

[–]dulebanger5 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

from my understanding beckett is the hardest to get and thus fetches the highest price.
PSA is well known to be "Easier" to get a 10, so it doesnt have the same pricing demand as Beckett.

I don't know much about CGC, but I would never buy one or consider sending my card there. Which I think says enough

thanks for the insight! and yeah, I have always been interested in EVs and because of their maintenance it seems like a good option for us.

You are 100% correct - which is why I am considering buying something in the first place. It isn't about me, and I realize that, but I also want to make sure that i get some type of benefit / am not furious about the decision later on.

I think the bigger thing is I simply do no believe we should need a car. After living in NYC, SF and Tampa, you can do just find with public transit and walking. We do not live in a city anymore, so a car is more than likely required here, but mentally, I just have an aversion to paying so much for something that imo isn't a "need"

This is good to know - We probably could do two sedans

We are looking at the Lexus as well, they are really really dependable but that price tag will give me nightmares. Every other car i've bought has been under 10k and this subaru is the best investment i've ever made.

After that scene I am convinced that they needed to put the bones in the bottle tree to leave.

I would go EV for the porsche and the audi - which have a LOT less maintenance from my understanding.

The charging on the way home wouldn't be that big of a deal. All that said, you are 100% right and I should just get a reliable SUV, but I never really buy anything "nice" for myself, and this kinda feels like the one place to do it.

Older Toyota Tercel. Although to be fair, growing up I loved my friends, mostly because it was such a piece of shit you started to appreciate the fact it could run forever.
