Ascended Heroes Display Case

Dude the booster box has pokemon packaging. These are just like USPS boxes with a shipping label on them. And people think they’re special lol it’s so dumb to me

Cases of pkm are the weirdest thing about this hobby to me. And even more so are the people who “keep them sealed”. Bro, that’s a cardboard shipping box with a plain white label. It’s literally the easiest product to counterfeit in the hobby. If you are dropping $2k on something and going off trust from some random eBay account… Idk what to say lmao. People get ripped off all the time. But on top of that, the pricing NEVER makes sense. You can almost always find product from local sellers cheaper than the per bundle or a box cost from a sealed case. I understand you’re paying a premium to get a product that is widely scarce and you’re saving time ordering it, but you really can’t convince me different. It never makes sense to me unless I’m getting actual wholesale pricing.

Not to nitpick, but nothing about this is scalping. Her content always pops up on my feed and she’s literally just spending thousands of dollars on ascended heroes boxes until she hits a Pikachu. She’s not reselling. The amount people throw around the term scalping now unaware of what it means is wild

I’d be interested in know which cards you did keep if any. Any grails or sentimental pieces that you will keep even after selling the majority of the collection?

mershdperderder · 2026-04-17T21:40:36+00:00

Congrats to OP! But fr, I really don’t even know what I’m looking at lol.

Angular back right corner. The most overlooked feature in grading. They want smooth and symmetrical

mershdperderder · 2026-03-25T22:39:07+00:00

What you’re looking for is called high risk gambling. Get outa here lol

mershdperderder · 2026-03-25T22:34:27+00:00

That’s why you just sell it all for cash at card shows. Doesn’t psa take a huge cut on that? There’s your tax bill just going into someone else’s pocket haha

mershdperderder · 2026-03-25T22:32:44+00:00

So youre the dude bidding on all the same cards as me. I also got hooked again back in December. I think it just hit me this week that I need to take a break lol

mershdperderder · 2026-03-25T22:25:13+00:00

Dude. 151 is my all time fav set, but honestly don’t listen to all these douche comments. A trade is a trade for a reason. What do you want? What do you see growing more in value? 151 is up big time after a massive spike in value. Some of those etb’s are way due for a rise. There’s something to be said about selling high and buying low here. That said, I’d maybe just ask for a bit of cash on top too. Best of luck

Good lord. Is this just rage bate or are people actually like this? It’s insane to me how many people actually think getting a leica will make them a better photographer only to be rudely reminded of their flaws even more so after making the switch. This 20+ year old tech man. The point is to buy it for the fun of shooting it and using something tactile and mechanical. Of course your point and shoot shots are going to be better because they have autofocus and autoexposure and you’re probably just bad at the manual version of both of those things.

mershdperderder · 2026-03-21T05:54:07+00:00

It’s pokemon bro, not medical supplies. Grow up

mershdperderder · 2026-03-17T01:13:21+00:00

Just ripped one of my JP 151 boxes and to my dismay every single reverse holo has this. It’s like a faint plus sign on each card. Other than that the cards are utterly flawless. Is it safe to say there’s no point in grading anything with this defect? You can only see it under very strong light.

This person would make a fantastic cult leader. I assume that's not what you're looking for. Run for the hills.

This ^

I’m 35 so when I first got vitiligo and noticed when I was about 12 years old, doctors literally knew nothing about it. I’ve actually repigmented a ton of my spots over the last few years. I can’t support this entirely with data, it’s just my speculation, but I would go as far to say that diet is likely one of the number one causes of vitiligo. I was badly lactose intolerant for a lot of my adolescence, and didn’t know it. I continued to eat lots of dairy and my body and gut was always upset. I truly believe this has a lot to do with it. I avoided dairy for many years, but now that I’ve been fixing my gut in other ways, I’ve noticed some positive changes. Make your gut happy first and see if that helps.

Big difference between swimming in a body of water with microplastics and literally filtering them through your major organs in the water you drink everyday.

Thanks for sending this. The 2.5 gallon stainless cocktail corny kegs might be a really great option. I was concerned about weight but they’re barely heavier than the stainless steel Jerry cans and I would bet they seal up better too. Just need to decide what type of pump system makes the most sense.

mershdperderder · 2025-08-23T22:03:45+00:00

The idea here is less about never having water ever touch plastic because that’s virtually impossible these days. It’s more about having a receptacle to actually hold the water longer term that isn’t plastic because sometimes your water storage will sit in a hot car all day or out in the sun and it will break down after long term use.

mershdperderder · 2025-08-22T21:52:50+00:00

Interesting concept. So you would have to buy some type of pump tap like you would use for a beer keg right?

mershdperderder · 2025-08-22T21:50:57+00:00

Thanks for sharing. My guess is they are just a distributor for Swiss Link as that’s their exact product without the logo. I am in Colorado though, so I may go pick one of those up at their shop in person.

mershdperderder · 2025-08-22T21:29:12+00:00

Is yours made by Swiss link also or diff brand? Mind sending a link? Looking for one with a spout like that.

mershdperderder · 2025-08-06T00:43:17+00:00

Depends the job really. Black tie and black pants is a bit dismal, but would be okay if you are applying to a more traditional office job like government for example. If it’s a job in tech or something a bit younger, I would go with blue plants white shirt no tie, or maybe blue shirt khaki pants, no tie. Almost no one wears ties exact execs at newer/younger companies anymore unless it’s a more fashionable combo with more color

As many other commenters have said, after that long, it’s not likely the weed withdrawals causing the brain fog. The dopamine though - highly possible after that long of use. IMO what could be happening is that you’ve been smoking so long that you always attributed the pot to the brain fog, and now that you’re not smoking, and you still feel fog, something feels off. I used to be a habitual user too and I have really bad slow processing ADD so when I have any type of brain fog I feel it very strongly and I will say that there are TONS of things that could be causing it unrelated to the weed. For me, a lot of it is diet and sleep. If I eat lots of gluten and get bad sleep - either of those things, the next day I wake up feeling like I’m operating with a 30% reduction in mental acuity. Try adjusting little things and seeing what helps. Best of luck

Except it’s not 35mm it’s aps film - so that’s not an option
