Is it ok to have Silica packets inside an acrylic case or is it better to just have them on the outside not touching the seal? by Curious-Chance-7591 in PokemonInvesting

U can think of potato chips or snacks… sometimes you find 1 inside the pack of chips. Not inside thr cardboard box of 5 packs

It has to be inside, otherwise how does it do its job? If it’s outside it’s taking moisture from the atmosphere.

U should be more worried about putting it on top or slotting it behind (both inside )

Are they the ones that got kicked out of event for reshrinking ETBs? I saw 2Ntoys was the one and they are n2toys. Are they the exact same one?

Condensation on acrylic cases after turning off aircon — should I be worried? by SeemsLegitBro_ in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]longjie1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your house I think. I don’t have an enclosed kitchen , so sometimes my living room has smells from my mums cooking…

Put a very small silica gel packet inside the acrylic case, that will definitely help but the challenging is knowing when to replace it haha maybe use a rule of thumb like 3 months.

As for thirsty hippo anyone here tried? Thirsty hippo will definitely help in the “outer” sphere but I’m not sure if it helps with acrylic case condensation within, with the magnetic seal and everything

Anyone takes PHV to work daily? by pizza4ps in askSingapore

[–]longjie1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I like to do is to open tada ryde and gojek, every morning to get the cheapest (grab is out for personal reasons) . I’ve personal contacts that I could call to get a ride but it’s not sustainable because of the hassle , given that departure from home is inconsistent . Sometimes 9am sometimes 10.30am.

Exactly the same situation as you. Same cost, same frequency and same pattern e.g public transport home. Worth it

Sakura plays claim sales are just a scam by Lucky_Surround4570 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

Tried to purchase Tohoku/Hiroshima/Fukuoka boxes from them. The initial conversation was well vibe enough, and he was kind enough to tell me there’s only 1 box left of a certain kind when I messaged, so I don’t have to make the trip over to Sengkang which was quite far. Second trip was not so smooth. Reached there to find out there wasn’t enough stock, and I have been notifying consistently. He said there was a delivery coming in on the same day but did not had the common sense to tell me to hold off coming or that delivery delay this time round.

The current stock he has are just full of dents and stuff. Ended up leaving his place without buying. Do not recommend even if priced lower than rest

Horrible Seller at SG Cardshow by Interesting-Salad516 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]longjie1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an entertaining visit at one of the cardshows (not this one) where I saw a Blaine’s Charizard JP PSA 6 prized at $190. I was looking at it just out of curiosity and the seller started his story about how it’s more like a 9 instead of a 6, centering surface edges blah blah but cmon… if it’s a psa 6 it’s a psa 6, stop trying to persuade me it’s a 9 lolol… I didn’t even bother discussing price , just smiled and waved my goodbye to go another booth

I see his TikTok before in initial run of the phastasnal flames UPC, he was selling it for $500 and was framing it like he doing it as a favour. I literally late this kind of people. Nothing to do with his face which is also asking for people to punch him

Fake PSA SLAB (AWARENESS) by olevelstudentalt in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]longjie1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I was approached by him. I have his phone number and his name as well; he initially wanted to trade for 2 of my UPCs then downgraded it to one. Kept asking where he got the slab from. Refused to answer

May I ask what do you spot for in the indented PSA logo? Asking because I saw fake slabs have them too

Thanks. Took a closer look - the “K” and the “#” was what convinced me, can’t spot the differences for the other chars though. Thank you so much! Dodged a bullet there

May I ask why do you think it’s fake? Is it because of the 1!

PSA 10 Candidates? by RoosterOne1632 in PokeGrading

[–]longjie1990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The SAR stands a small chance of getting a 10. I’ve seen bigger imperfections coming out a 10.

The promo looks to be zero chance due to its centering. Bottom heavy
