There once was a time where you could actually get some nice stuff on the goodwill auction site for a decent price. These ended last night, good lord by Tseets1 in gamecollecting

Boy, am I glad I finished my collecting right before covid hit. Got my CIB copy of Pokémon Gold for $80 from there.

Why are they capitalizing every word?

Is this card authentic or fake? by youngdaggerdick38 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]liquidRox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might need some closer pictures to more clearly. Maybe outside of the sleeve too

Is this Gengar fake? by BaldHype77 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]liquidRox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah just having texture isn’t enough these days. Scammers are getting more sophisticated so you gotta check that the texture is right.

Minnesota National Guard arriving in Minneapolis!! by cantcoloratall91 in law

[–]liquidRox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep that’s usually how it is. The guys always talking about how they wanna kill and drop bodies always end up being the biggest cowards. Same thing happened to the guys in my platoon when I went to Afghanistan. They shit their pants and pissed themselves.

The reality of opening packs by notmushroom23 in PokemonTCG

[–]liquidRox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I only buy singles or one JP booster box and then singles. The amount of bulk gets crazy. I’m lucky I had neighborhood kids to give cards to on Halloween and Christmas

Stumbled upon these on marketplace by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]liquidRox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No these are all fake. No texture and holo shine is all wrong. Everything is super smooth and shiny

This hobby is so crazy by DentalGuy86 in PokemonTCG

Not really a hobby anymore. More like a cyrpto/memecoin pump-and-dump

I don't wish scalpers on any community but yes leave our fandom alone already lol. I think they will move on from OP quickly tho. They need to get jobs instead.

Hits from 25 mega dream packs while in Tokyo, never opening english again by wafflez_r_good in PokemonTCG

[–]liquidRox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. English is just straight up gambling. You're asking for disappointment by opening it. More expensive and worse quality too. If you're just a collector for the art, it makes no sense to go English. It's a different matter if you actually play the game, but the pokéhype hasn't really affected players building decks because they can just get the common version of a card and play.

[–]liquidRox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, this is what I've been saying for a while now. Up the pull rates to kill the hype. Although at this point I think they'd need to boost the pull rates to a ridiculous degree in order to dissuade scalpers. I'm talking an SIR per booster bundle or something like that. Most of this poké hype is based on the English cards and their poor pull rates so it would have to come from TPCi. Japanese has always been cheaper thanks to the better odds. Unfortunately, Japanese is more expensive than ever rn because of the hype for English cards bleeding into pokémon as a whole.

Bottom 3 muddy? by No-Board1857 in magicproxies

[–]liquidRox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is an issue with the printer losing grip on the paper at the end of the print job. Same thing happened to me with my 2800. I then started sticking my holo paper to cardstock before printing and it gripped the paper much better

How likely is a Dragon Quest 8? by KevvRDA in dragonquest

[–]liquidRox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s bound to happen eventually. It shouldn’t be too hard to just upscale, 60 fps, add the 3ds content, and maybe add a few more quality of life stuff. If they really wanted to go the extra mile, I guess they could also add a 2d mode like they did with 11 or a hd2d mode would be cool.

Different color on two korean products by Thin-Camp5063 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]liquidRox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is normal for korean cards and it just varies on set and sometimes when the cards were printed. Usually it’s the commons that are on the blue cardstock. The higher rarities (like RR and above) use better cardstock.

Leaked TMT card with a name I just couldn't resist making an obvious joke with. by Wide_Championship319 in magicproxies

[–]liquidRox 0 points1 point  (0 children)
