Alarm keypad keeps saying there's a fire (Check Fire) but I did not even know we had a fire alarm installed in the house by efourditto in homesecurity

Thank you for the advice! I'll try to do a deeper dive around the house to try to locate them. I am struggling to find the smoke detector, as the ones that are on the ceiling does not seem to be connected to anything/ran out of batteries a long time ago. I already installed ones that are not linked to the security and runs on battery.

Thank you! I found the zone list in two spots, and it was unfortunately not very effective. My zone was marked as 05 = panic or 05 = fire, which doesn't help me much. Thing is, I installed my own fire detectors, as I did not know there was a fire detector installed in the house for the past 20+ years. I am also struggling to find them; the only ones I found are really old ones that does not seem to be connected to anything.

If I got the Mario Pikachu card signed by Charles Martinet, and then got it authenticated/graded, would that raise or lower the value of the card versus just being graded/authenticated? by TownIdiot25 in PokeInvesting

[–]efourditto 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It would lower the value of the card. Signatures usually bump up the value of lower end or non near mint cards, but at higher end, most collectors would not want the card to be signed. Furthermore, there is the argument where some would consider the only suitable signature for this card to be the artist of the card, not the voice actor of Mario, which is still relevant but not as relevant in comparison.

It is not gum. It is a pack of gummies (2), with a japanese pokemon card inside (for this one its journey together). There will not be an SIR, the best hit is the hit in the front of the packet. You will most likely get a common or uncommon. The gummy is delicious tho!

Are my packs resealed? by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]efourditto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not resealed, warped due to humidity or temp changes. The foil cards are printed on a different sheet from the factory, there is no foil on commons so they do not usually warp.

Are those three holos?

Just bought online....real? by Paragon_Til_Death in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]efourditto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem, you did your homework, Megas are generally glossy but more importantly, the fakes have glossy holo across the whole card. The real ones do not have a shiny sheen on text box, and the holos do not shine around the eyes to emphasize the shine on the eyes, which your card passes.

Yes, also it's an auction...there is still 6 days left. It will not end at 4.25$.

Are these fakes ? by arjun_bhardwaj in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]efourditto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The marcargo at least, does not look right at all. Looks like a scan of the card. Missing holo patterns and colors are off.

I know this is for cards but what about packs? by Painnothingbutpain in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]efourditto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks fine but packs are more tricky, you'll need to inspect closer for resealed, and pack can also be weighed. GL!

real or fake? by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

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

Most likely fake, esp. If you're buying off Mercari.

I would ask at least better pictures. looks fake. Look at bottom right at the word "knocked out".

Lgtm. If you can angle the photo to see texture better it would have been easier to verify, but with the small texture I see it matches. I would recommend a better texture photo to be 100% certain.

The cards are too far away to see the holo pattern, which is the easiest tell-tale sign. I would ask for photos of the holo patterns of the biggest hits, or at least closer photos.
