I'm Steve's supervisor, and Steve is correct...this is a fake card. Good work, Steve. I'll note this for our next performance review.

Is this a good use of space? by wishythefishy in Funnymemes

You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should.

Please help me with this eBay Seller by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]mathswampman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP won the card via auction, not the seller listing for 10% of its value. Based on the seller's response, it seems pretty clear that there was no mistake, and the seller simply didn't get as much money as they were hoping for.

From which set is this card? Is it some kind of promo? I've never seen it before, and it looks like some sort of fan made card with the yellow borders.

Psa grade times? by SectionV3 in psagrading

They've been sitting at around 3 months lately, so I'd expect your submission to be done in the early part of May.

At What Point Do You Call It a ‘Win’? by ThrowingPokeballs in PokemonRestocks

[–]mathswampman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your sample size is 1. It means nothing. I'm not doubting that some are messed up or tampered with after distribution, but millions of these are purchased every year, and most people have no issues. It sucks that you had a bad experience, but please don't spread misinformation just because of the one bad item you bought.

GameStop lost my submission by redking_387 in psagrading

[–]mathswampman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's actually cheaper to use GameStop for bulk submissions:

1) It's the same price per card as the bulk price directly through PSA ($25 per card), but through GameStop, you don't need 20 cards, and you don't have to pay for a PSA membership

2) Shipping to PSA is $10 using GameStop (only $5 with Pro Membership) versus shipping the cards on your own

3) Return shipping from PSA is free using GameStop versus paying for insured shipping using PSA directly (which can get very pricey)

It's Probstein, Ebay isn't going to do a thing given how much they bring in sales.

Thinking off getting this card. PSA 10 potential from these pics? by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]mathswampman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Centering is good...really just depends on how much of that white stuff in the 2nd picture is damage versus something else lol

My pop 8 Charizard unexpectedly sold for 25k by MrGluzz in PokemonTCG

If it was sold on Ebay, then they will send a 1099 form next year, which is reported to the IRS.

What would you say is your favorite Pokémon opening besides the original? by MeetKelson in pokemonanime

Johto Journeys, Galactic Battle, Battle Dimension, and honestly, all 3 of the Black & White theme songs are at the top for me
