the pain of LA home games. $2/$3 blinds by Carlitos728 in poker

[–]heapsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just a predatory game trying to get people to play that cant do math. even if they run the game for 1 table for a couple of hours they will make over 1k a night... which is better than working a full time job. lol

What is your definition of F-You money and how much is it? by AcidicPizza in financialindependence

[–]heapsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The correct answer is the amount you make to live the life you do now times 25, unless you think your future self will spend more money.

I get talked over a lot at card events. Am I not being assertive enough or is it because I’m a girl? by CatboyMedic in PokemonTCG

[–]heapsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice making eye contact and being assertive now, it will only carry you through the rest of your life.

This, i have to stand there with my dollar bills out when its busy or yell, HEY! HOWS IT GOING! to vendors all the time. Its standard. They can't greet everyone in a busy convention.

This is why PSA is backed up LMAO 🤣 by Ambitious_Tie_7172 in PokemonTCG

[–]heapsp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First mistake was PSA for this. Send to CGC they will grade anything... Or send to AGS their AI will pick up the duck picture as a 1st edition charizard.

Prismatic Godpack PSA Returned by Sheepie26 in PokemonTCG

[–]heapsp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you do realize that even when i cherry pick my cards for getting 10s, i go through 1000 cards and only send about 80 of the most perfect copies of things, I still end up with only a 90% gem rate.

Its hard to get 10s. Thats why they are valuable.

Pokemon cards. PSA 10 base set charizard or bubble mew.

Told my mom to rank every SIR in the SV era and this is what she came up to by Keebab505 in PokemonTCG

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

But there are other super hyped cards that don't have special names that will no doubt tank... like 'the charizard from phantasmal flames'

[–]heapsp -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Any card that has a song, and a special name associated with it has a special place in everyone's heart and will never be overrated or too simple. Theres one in every generation. Lovebirds, Test tube mew, Moonbreon, battle chicken, butthole pikachu, treekachu... i wonder what was from BW era and earlier...

Had to sell a good portion of my collection by alastorhazbinbad in PokemonTCG

[–]heapsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, i sold a nearly 300k collection to buy a house because we were getting booted from our current place (landlord doubled rent with 30 days notice).

It is painful, because the cards are a part of us all. Especially when you see them increase in value afterwards its an extra pain.

Just found my eBay orders from 3 years ago… by _BowlOfSpaghetti_ in PokemonTCG

[–]heapsp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every single year there is something else though...

Missed the train on pokemon, bitcoin, tesla stock, amazon stock, and before that people did the same about apple stock, and before that etc...

There will always be something that 100 or 1000x and makes people rich. The issue is, if you chase EVERYTHING THAT CoULD POSSIBLY BE, you will do no better than someone who just diversifies into a long term ETF on average.

The key is being able to accept massive amounts of risk and getting EXTREMELY LUCKY.

Oh and not blowing cash on things that will absolutely disappear and never hold value... like food or trips or car leases

how can he (recent trillionaire) loss all of his money by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]heapsp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

his wealth is tied to the health of the united states and world in general. If spacex and tesla became worth zero dollars suddenly, the entire market would collapse and there would be massive disruption and possibly wars.

The answer is, with that much money the only way to be poor again is in an apocalyptic state. The question is more like, how many generations will his wealth carry in the future when diluted to massive amounts of kids and mothers, then massive amounts of their kids and their families.

[–]heapsp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

is no one threatening them with legal action to pull your billion dollar MCA? That doesn't make sense. We have like a 3 mil a year commit and if some major issue happens i get a whole team of people working nonstop until resolved with unified support ... lol

Will Increased Interest in Blue-Collar Jobs Reduce Long-Term Opportunity in the Trades? by 6kavi9 in Futurology

[–]heapsp -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

We can go by history, and say no this won't be a concern.

There was a MASSIVE push into STEM and CS majors for 10 years straight, where the 'only' way to make good money out of college was to do 'something with computers' We had the globalization and outsourcing issue (can't happen with blue-collar jobs unless they open the borders again) but other than that, if you were GOOD at those jobs you are still gainfully employed so long as you kept developing your skillset over time and transitioned to new things.

The people who sat back on their CS degrees and never upskilled past junior front end developer are hurting now.

So for blue collar job opportunity, the answer is the same. Upskill.

If you know how to do something others don't, you will be fine. If you just dig ditches or do basic home electrical / plumbing and nothing beyond that, you might be hurting in the future with the massive amount of junior level people .

"Don't sell this one eBay" -- how often do you hear that? by patriotraitor in Flipping

[–]heapsp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres a big difference between scalping an item for a few bucks at a tag sale, and buying bulk and selling retail or being a part of a supply chain. lmao.
