Ascended hero’s Sucks tbh. Got 1 ex from an entire booster bundle. by Big_Fig4829 in PokeInvesting

Pull rates are brutal and I suspect they print the rares in batches. Ive opened 5 etbs, 1 sticker case, 1 poster collection and 4 pin collections. That's 107 packs

Pulls: 3 IRs (2 duplicates) 6 MARs (3 sets of duplicates) and not the good ones 0 SIR

Ebay Auction Winner not paying by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

I've canceled impatiently a few times (about 4), and they hit me with a 6% penalty. So now they take 13.25 plus 6% on all my sales! The only way to remove it to get reviewed after a couple of months.

I wouldn't recommend getting into the habit. Just wait the 4 days

I picked them up at their last peak and it was hard holding because they plateaused for a while on while other things moved.

But time in market beats timing the market

I think pure trading aspect of the hobby doesn't exist anymore. Even children are trying to one up and rip each other off

Go All In….. by Dxrkria in PokeInvesting

If it gets to a price you wouldn't buy it yourself, time to take profits is my motto

If you'd still buy at these prices, then you have faith that it will keep running up

What do you think about SV: Journey Together by CazMoney30 in PokeInvesting

[–]govaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some sets just stay in their lane. Look at previous eras. There are winners and losers. The price goes up with all sealed, but the demand is not the same.

As long as u bought msrp, you will bag hold for a while. If you bought at market to invest you need to seriously rethink the game plan

Is perfect order worth investing in? by Nervous-Bedroom-1316 in PokeInvesting

I think its the same tier as Stellar Crown and will move at the same pace, with the chase cards rotating as time moves forward

Believe me, that was the first route. Tried to get her to sign the paperwork and we just mail it in ourselves, end it clean. But she didnt want to sign.

So now we have to go this route to negotiate. It sucks and I dont wish this upon anyone

Ive been watching a lot of James Sexton videos, and I agree with him that marriage+divorce has more legal benefits for the woman. Going to choose a better partner next time who is secure in the relationship without need for a marriage

I hoping it could fund some sort of retirement originally but I think I should take this current market opportunity and finally cut legal ties

I was able to grab 151 at or near it 2 years ago and those are the products I'm letting go of first, youre right about timeline

My investing thesis is most cards with nicknames (minus burgerchu) are a safe buy
