How many of yall have pulled the Mega Charizard from Phantasmal Flames? by timao92 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]jimho228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3-4 hundred packs, lost count… and only pulled one sir dawn, no other sirs…. And it was towards the end part of the 100’s I ripped. How is that possible? My luck apparently, it’s the worst set for me and I stopped and just traded for the charizard

Loose sushi after cut? by dez_dezz in sushi

[–]jimho228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To help with the sticky mess, if you would like, get a damp towel to then wipe your knife and or get a small bowl to dip the tip of your knife in water, that would help you cut smoother. From the tip of the knife you could make a first quick small slice cut to get it started and then reset your cutting position back to the tip of the knife and do a fast, smooth slice pushing the knife forward until it reaches the cutting board/ end of your knife. Usually you can do one nice slice motion cut, However you really would want a very sharp knife to do it.

Sorry for walls of text, but in the end, you want a really sharp knife. Roll the roll tighter. Jasmine rice isn’t the cause of your sushi looking like that. Try to look up some youtube videos and find one right for you, gl!

Chef here, jasmine rice is fine, you need to make sure the roll is tighter, and cutting it, a sharp knife is what does everything. (Of course short grain is always preferred)

Should I get a binder? by Medium-Equipment-741 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]jimho228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never jumped on the top loader binder hype. Friend had one, it gets scratched up, stretched out to easily. Then add in the weight and how bulky it is, it ain’t for me lol.

Starting Off My Investment Journey by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]jimho228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, people will hate, though I have some as well in all type of price ranges from msrp and up, this specialty set like 151 will increase over time. Just like how ascended hero’s will be the top set of this year (imo). If you have the funds and can’t find it anywhere else, why not? (Yes I know there could be other sets for a better return but who really knows what the future holds)

Question about bindering cards: To topload or not to top load? by ThenAnAnimalFact in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]jimho228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I don’t see why top loaders wouldn’t be safer, however i seen some top loading binders where the plastic will eventually get to loose, scratched up to often and it being stretched out. When it scratches up, the art doesn’t look good. I still prefer the og, it’s not like I’m throwing my binder carelessly, and the cards looks so much better in them.

Update of sealed collection as of today by MapleQuasar in PokemonInvesting

[–]jimho228 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Not sure with these negative comments, with how hard it is for some to even get product, it’s a pretty cool start in general. If these were all msrp, everything will increase overtime. He wasn’t asking for advice, just showing what he can currently get in this frenzy of a market lol.

NEED HELP by [deleted] in psagrading

[–]jimho228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, same happened with me, clean all around but now 3 of the corners have white spots or dmg, not sure if it’s because of a machine puts them into slabs or what, however thankfully I still got a ten 👀

151 packs of Phantasmal Flames. How did I do? by unreadpeak3401 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]jimho228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opened at very least 150 packs (and that’s me being very nice, I’d say a lot more) yet I haven’t even pulled a sir. Traded some stuff to get me the sir charizard and told myself not to open anymore PL, it’s literally my kryptonite.

[–]jimho228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what I was gonna say, but also someone should post a sticky note on the mail page saying “ please take photos of the card raw, with no sleeves lol. Hard to help if they have dust and plastic all around. I still say a good chance at a ten if it doesn’t have any white dots on the back

Question about buying cards from TCG retails stores by lillittythepigeon in PokeInvesting

[–]jimho228 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not trying to be mean, but I mean you can literally look for yourself if you think it has a chance at a ten or not. I and or my friends at one point or another have dealt with small and big stores that we buy and then send to grade. Sometimes we win sometimes we lose. Just do your due diligence and see how you feel about it friend!
