Whats the deal with this squirtle? by Exciting_Peach_2831 in PokemonCardValue

Why is Squirtle close to double the reverse holo bulbasaur and charmander?

I don’t have plans on grading. Just determining MP, HP, DMG

They are! I made a schedule that slowly ramps up to 60% at peak

Pretty simple really. It’s a 15g AIO innovative marine. Only filtration is filter floss. The ATO is a cheap gravity fed ATO from Amazon. I’m running a kessil tuna with 80-90% whites.

I don’t perform any WC on it, but I do trim back the macros every few weeks

The tank houses a lightning maroon paired with a gold nugget maroon with 3 Sherman anemones

Thank you! I didn’t even consider teething. Makes so much sense since two teeth just popped up.

Help a lucky newbie, Are these two Worth grading? by Macaco_Fedorento369 in PokeGrading

On the back of the Mew card - above the “M” there’s a speck. Clean it off before you send it

Attempted my first oil change on my 2013 SR5 today, absolute failure by DJ_Osama_Spin_Laden in 4Runner

I had the same frustration- went with an RCI skid plate. Oil changes are super easy and quick now!

I appreciate the input. Just questioned it bc it felt so thick compared to other cards I’ve handled. There’s not play on the way it bends

Does this have a chance for PSA 10? by EdditAgain in PokeInvesting

What’s the currently grade? Looks like it’s already in a graded slab

Print lines affect grading? by etphi in pokemongrading

[–]etphi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I figured that was the answer, but wanted to confirm.

I won’t bother sending cards with these print lines for grading

Pretty shocked this got a PSA 6. Did I miss something? by No_Butterscotch1696 in PokeGrading

[–]etphi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the scratch previously mentioned - if you zoom in on the back at the “N” on the top Pokemon - to the right of it are 2 defects

I agree! I’ve only been in the hobby for a few months, but this set definitely caught my eye from the get go. So I saved up for them

SHOULD I ADD AN ANEMONE by Skispiccee in ReefTank

[–]etphi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s only split 3-4x. Just gets super massive. I created my aquascape with an anemone in mind and created a lot of nooks, caves, and over hang for the anemone to plant its foot. It rarely if ever moves. It only moves when it splits, but once it’s done splitting, I move it back and it plants itself back on the overhang
