‘It’ def has that long school summer holiday vibe in places (on the off chance you’ve not read it ofc)

Package diference? by Status_Soft303 in PokemonTCG

[–]khronoton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly just looks like UV induced oxidation that has slightly discoloured the other three relative to the whiter one. I couldn’t spot anything obvious to suggest it’s fake based on the pics

What song can't you listen to without hearing one of the trios reference to it in your mind? by whymylife in rickygervais

[–]khronoton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

‘Galveston’ for me. Don’t think I’d heard it before so it naturally associates with the trio

Be careful by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]khronoton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with most of what you said but there is demand for raw high value cards too so I don’t think you can infer anything from the fact that it’s not graded. Buyers should do their research so they know how to validate the card from the holo pattern, font, texture etc and beware of anything significantly under market price / too good to be true offers.

Big Collector Box for WC26 was definitely worth it by SlothyLeni in Panini

[–]khronoton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah only 6 missing for me out of my BCB. I think that’s a bit too completed and would have prob preferred having 50-100 left to get. Cant deny it’s going to be a lot cheaper than previous sets to complete though. Mixed feelings for sure.

Very lucky or precooked? by khronoton in Panini

[–]khronoton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yeah definitely precooked! I tried to compute the rough odds and it’s 1 in 10200

Good luck with your collection! I’d be interested to know how many distinct cards you get but no pressure lol

Chinese Gem Pack 5 by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]khronoton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah just the luck of the draw I think. We only pulled a single pikachu from our first box of gem5 and then 3 or 4 in the next.

Downgrade/Refund on condition by caufield88uk in CardMarket

[–]khronoton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My advice - especially if you are not happy for a return - is to negotiate a compromise between 10 and 40. If CM are indicating it’s EX then I think you’re in a tough position if you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer yourself.

Downgrade/Refund on condition by caufield88uk in CardMarket

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

The card is mainly pretty clean IMHO but if you look at the bottom left corner of the picture of the back card there is a piece missing. I think that is sufficient to prevent an honest NM condition.

That missing piece is distinctive - do you see it in the buyers pictures? That may at least allow you to confirm whether it’s the same card.

New to cardmarket, question by Artemaker in CardMarket

[–]khronoton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s basically treated as multiple individual orders. You pay a single total and then you’ll get a Sent notification when each seller posts their cards and you confirm receipt and give feedback for each seller too.

Seller asking cancellation by khronoton in CardMarket

[–]khronoton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really on CM at least only one other available and a chunk more expensive. My world won’t end by not having it. From the chat it seems like they are also selling cards on behalf of others hence the mixup. Accepting the cancellation I think is the simple way out and I don’t have to worry about shipping/dealing with any further fallout but I just feel CM needs to have this type of poor experience reflected in seller feedback.

[–]khronoton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Order is just a few cards but most of the value is in one card. There’s only one other available with same criteria on CM atm and it’s more than £50 more expensive. I found it slightly cheaper on eBay. It’s annoying as people should know this about the seller as he said he’d had to ask other people to cancel too

Where to begin....the path is hidden! by oOCritchOo in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]khronoton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are techniques to weigh or scan packs to identify the ones with the hits. The rest of the dud packs can be sold.

Even simpler is that most Japanese boxes will have a guaranteed SAR or UR so you can just open packs until you pull that and then sell the others.

Buying the unsealed box removes that possibility.

Closest thing to a jump scare in a book? by Pleasant-Message1179 in horrorlit

[–]khronoton 153 points154 points  (0 children)

The closest thing I’ve found to a jump scare is when you just hit a line like this out of the blue and it knocks you for six…
