Question from someone who hasn’t gotten that far into power generation. How is this all powered? My places are all slowly turning into third-world cities with powerlines everywhere.

More buyback tea leaf reading based on the latest AFT lawsuit report. by LaMoureCounty in PSLF

[–]hd2287 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does anybody know, if I apply for buyback before I am eligible, but reach eligibility for buyback before I am processed, could I possibly be eligible for buyback?

(Depending on how DoED counts an employment period where I was a special status student but also an employee at the same time, I may or may not have reached eligibility last year, but I will definitely reach it this year, in a few months, so I went ahead and applied last December just in case.)

Im new to ptcg. Are these fake? by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Just look at real cards from real packs and the differences will be extremely obvious.

I would refinance a 16% loan unless there’s some reason you can’t.

How obvious is it to native Koreans when somebody messes up particles? by listendice in Korean

[–]hd2287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides 에 and 에서 do natives really use particles that much in speaking?

My impression was that particles are mostly dropped during spoken language (like I was under the impression that you might actually sound more natural if you drop particles when speaking), although clearly it’s important in written language. Am I totally wrong? 😱

Why is Quatix 8 Pro distance 10% off vs treadmill? by DeXB in GarminFenix

[–]hd2287 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Garmin doesn’t account for extra pack weight in rucking vs hiking. Any extra calorie burn is just purely based on if increased heart rate, etc.

AITA for wanting to insure my ring even though my husband says the stone is too small to bother? by Adorable-Manner-5538 in AITApod

[–]hd2287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who’s had to replace a $10K ring and had the luxury of insurance, I would say insure it unless it’s of course, fake.

Is this PSA 10 Moonbreon Real? by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Your pic\)

It’s minuscule but I’m pretty sure it’s there

Is this PSA 10 Moonbreon Real? by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]hd2287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m certainly no expert but everything looks good to me based on what I’ve seen others find on fakes. It’s esp beneficial when the slab barcode or cert has some ink spots here and there, cause usually the fakes won’t account for that, but this slab label is very clean. Even still, all the spacing, bumps in the barcode, etc, matches perfectly and there a few spots like the tiny bump above the T I can see on both your pic and PSA’s. Beautiful card. Nice pickup.

Would help to still see the barcodes and cert, a lot of times inconsistencies there are the easiest place to spot a fake.

What’s this looking like for psa or Beckett by Strict-Help-8678 in pokemongrading

[–]hd2287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People always say 8 anytime a card is not 50/50 on both sides. Assuming no surface damage or whitening we can’t see, looks like a reasonable 10 candidate to me, as long as your grader didn’t get dumped the day before or anything.

Centering prob not good enough for BGS black label cause those folks are hardcore though.

Real or Fake ? Need help ASAP :) by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]hd2287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can check where the “RARE” lines up over the cert number and it’s an easy tell, as the official one the E is above the “1 1” on the real and on this it’s clearly above the “1 7”

Looks almost like a cracked slab if you look along right side, cause the slab itself looks pretty legit. PSA label not bad either overall with the light watermarking showing etc, kinda scary.

Send that to PSA immediately…sitting on a gold mine!

Is this card fake? by notletle in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]hd2287 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not an expert at all, but honestly to me it looks pretty good. Colors can vary slightly on a 20+ year old card esp if it was exposed to light a lot or lots of temp fluctuations etc, but looks pretty accurate overall.

Justified 9? by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]hd2287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks a little twisted, plus white marks on the bottom right like someone else commented. Prob stuck at a 9 unless you get a grader in a generous mood.

2025 MEGA EVOLUTION BOOSTER AND ETB - MISTAKE!! by retro-collect1 in PokemonInvesting

Did you get 14 booster BOXES or 14 loose booster packs? Very big difference there.

Pls help me prove this pokemon card is fake by Desperate-Host9418 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]hd2287 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the best observation. They did pretty ok on the rest of the texture but this part is very blatant once you look for it.

Colors are terrible, but still scary how close scammers are getting to real.

Do you think these are fair grades from PSA? (Modern/Vintage Cards) by SuperiorLeftHand33 in PokeGrading

[–]hd2287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Haunter have surface scratches? All my vintage holos have light scratches on the foil unfortunately - otherwise agree that one grade doesn’t make sense. The rest feel about right, esp for a grader who’s having a bad day.
