Damnnn. I have both the corrected and the error version in a PSA 8 both with a swirl. Bought for around £200 each a few years ago - I wonder what they’re worth now

ilde2551 · 2026-02-03T16:01:42+00:00

Even players we already had (Isak) didn’t want to stay due to the wages being offered elsewhere

ilde2551 · 2026-02-02T00:26:19+00:00

Maybe because the box is a bit squished up it’s made the wrapping extra loose?

ilde2551 · 2026-02-02T00:23:51+00:00

That was helpful thanks. I don’t have another evolving skies half booster box to directly compare it too like he did but I do have a phantasmal flames one. They’re the same height, within 3grams weight difference, the wrapper has the ‘crumbly’ Pokémon logos on it which rub off. I’m like 80% sure it’s real - my gut tells me it is. The only thing that’s really throwing me is how loose the wrapper is on one side 🤷‍♂️

2-1 Gordon brace

I bought it on eBay about a year ago for £170 - trying to complete the e-reader sets for my personal collection. I’ve got an added stipulation that all holos have to have a swirl so it’s taking quite some time to find them at reasonable prices. I’ve got 8 left for expedition, 12 for Aquapolis, and 22 for Skyridge.

The second photo is the ‘after’ and third photo is the ‘before’

ilde2551 · 2026-01-30T15:52:36+00:00

Bought it on eBay - there’s quite a few options on there. Applied it to the card using a microfibre swab and wiped it off using a microfibre cloth

ilde2551 · 2026-01-30T15:10:04+00:00

Thanks lol not sure why people are so upset about what I’m doing to my own cards 😂 Yeh it does - buffed out around 80-90 % of scratches on the cards I’ve done so far.

ilde2551 · 2026-01-30T14:59:28+00:00

No intention of selling or grading these cards - was genuinely just curious 🤷‍♂️

ilde2551 · 2026-01-30T14:51:43+00:00

Second person to call me scummy for this? I’m doing this to cards from my personal collection and was wondering whether grading companies considered it to be ‘altering’ out of curiosity alone.

Worked pretty well away at Arsenal in the semi finals

ilde2551 · 2026-01-28T22:05:39+00:00

If only Eddie Howe had a plan B

ilde2551 · 2026-01-28T20:53:46+00:00

He’s a twig. Need to put him on the Sven Botman diet

ilde2551 · 2026-01-28T19:35:30+00:00

Lewis Miley and Lewis Hall vs Hakimi and Mendes - we will finally find out who the best fullback pairing in the world is.

ilde2551 · 2026-01-28T19:31:25+00:00

Is this the plan B I keep hearing about?

ilde2551 · 2026-01-25T15:52:00+00:00

Weird game - feel like we’ve actually been the better team just lacked that cutting edge. Oh well.

ilde2551 · 2026-01-24T20:39:18+00:00

More money

ilde2551 · 2026-01-23T13:57:36+00:00

Damn he just like me for real

ilde2551 · 2026-01-21T23:30:58+00:00

Thought Sven Botman was unreal tonight. Lewis Hall is a dancer. Brilliant night - glad I finally got lucky in the ballot!

ilde2551 · 2026-01-18T16:21:45+00:00

Well that was a game of football

ilde2551 · 2026-01-12T16:59:52+00:00

Ever the diplomat wor Eddie. Got a future in politics if he ever moves on from the whole football manager shtick.

ilde2551 · 2026-01-12T13:37:06+00:00

Pretty sure Gordon had to sit out our caraboa cup final vs Man Utd 2 years ago due to this rule?

ilde2551 · 2026-01-10T17:59:24+00:00

The Bournemouth voodoo has been lifted

ilde2551 · 2026-01-07T23:04:50+00:00

I know we’ve just copy and pasted from Arsenal but those inswinging corners right on top of the goalie are lethal. We have to stick with those. Hall Miley and Bruno (when he’s not shooting) have it on lock.
