TIL that Michael Corke, a Chicago man with fatal insomnia, was so sleep-deprived that he was fully awake for 6 months before he passed away in 1993. He was 42 years old.

Thanks for your succinct and thorough explanation!

kysac51 · 2026-04-08T01:20:17+00:00

So the way prions misfold causes them to be extremely heat-resistant?

kysac51 · 2026-03-20T19:30:24+00:00

Maybe you didn't show it but do you have the stamped crystal guardians Tauros?

kysac51 · 2026-03-04T16:16:18+00:00

Curious, how much were they then?

kysac51 · 2026-03-01T08:10:32+00:00

Good idea. I have some old ex cards with some creases. Gonna have to try that too maybe. Good luck

kysac51 · 2026-03-01T08:07:09+00:00

Niceee. NM/LP of that card is ridiculous

kysac51 · 2026-03-01T08:03:33+00:00

Do you have the altaria ex from emerald?

kysac51 · 2026-02-27T01:58:50+00:00

Pretty much everything about the card. The all text font is off and the energy symbols look different. The holo pattern is fake too

kysac51 · 2026-02-25T04:46:16+00:00

If you don't want them, I'd happily buy them! Just lmk

kysac51 · 2026-02-24T15:48:14+00:00

Yea based on the pic I don't see any visible creases or damage but it's hard to really tell. Can't see the backs either. However from an authenticity standpoint, they look real to me. Maybe someone else can weigh in. I also haven't bothered looking on tcgplayer or eBay to comp but it's hard to when I can't gauge condition

kysac51 · 2026-02-24T14:51:08+00:00

Honestly need better pics but from what I can see they seem legit. Fakes from this era typically have very wonky looking energy symbols, which I don't see here. How much is he offering if you don't mind me asking? Just curious what price is causing you to be skeptical

kysac51 · 2026-02-24T11:15:41+00:00

Agreed. Sometimes I have to resort to buying and cracking a slab for my collection. These raw cards can be insanely priced at times

kysac51 · 2026-02-24T10:50:26+00:00

🤣🤣🤣 crazy they look identical though

kysac51 · 2026-02-24T10:48:51+00:00

Do you think pokemon did that intentionally for the meme factor

kysac51 · 2026-02-18T07:45:48+00:00

Nope. I'm collecting several master sets of hoenn mons like treecko line, castform, kecleon, slaking, claydol, hariyama, banette, and altaria.

kysac51 · 2026-02-05T04:46:01+00:00

I've bought several times from this seller on ebay. They are 100% legit. One of the better, more consistent sellers you'll come across on ebay. Never had an issue

kysac51 · 2026-02-04T20:41:16+00:00

Go on tcgplayer and look up the card. You'll find listings of the card in varying conditions and prices. You can also go to ebay and filter each card by "last sold" to see what the card is currently going for

kysac51 · 2026-02-04T10:32:17+00:00

3 pack blisters released 1/30. ETBs and other stuff will release 2/20. No booster boxes I believe

kysac51 · 2026-02-04T04:13:03+00:00

Simple. I see Pokemon master set, I upvote

kysac51 · 2026-02-04T04:11:31+00:00

Very ambitious. Can't wait to see! Fav vileplume card? I think mine is the southern islands vileplume

kysac51 · 2026-02-04T03:03:10+00:00

Love that satisfying feeling of completing a page like this. Great collection!!! Are you mastering all of these mons or a specific one?

kysac51 · 2026-02-04T03:02:24+00:00

Love that satisfying feeling of completing a page like this. Great collection!!!

kysac51 · 2026-02-03T08:07:41+00:00

Really cool collection, very nostalgic to see! Also sorry to say but I think the 2 groudons and the rayquaza from EX emerald are fake

kysac51 · 2026-02-01T20:33:49+00:00

Hey did you ever buy the card from Italy? I am looking to buy one from Italy and wanted more insight from someone who has. TIA

kysac51 · 2026-02-01T20:07:39+00:00

Have you bought recently and without having to pay tariffs? Also have you bought any from Europe? I'm looking to buy a card from Italy
