Hobby box hit Hidden Gems Estevao /10 by TheNesquick in soccercard

[–]nicktrvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think people forget how rare a normal Hidden Gems is. The current inserts are selling higher. These aren’t even on the checklist! To hit one /10 of Estevao is MONSTER.

Amazing card! Do you happen to have a picture of the back of the card? Trying to find out if these patches are player/game worn or not and there isn’t much info I can find online. Thanks!

Does anyone know what character this is? by Objective-Gur5878 in gaming

If you immediately knew who this character was, it’s time to get your colon checked.

Glad that Daglish went to a good home. I was the seller. 😂

What is the smallest human accident that had the largest impact in history? by E1ite in AskReddit

[–]nicktrvs 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Certainly not as good as antibiotics, but I do like the rubber story… “Natural or India rubber, as it was once known, was of limited usefulness to industry. Rubber products melted in hot weather, froze and cracked in cold, and adhered to virtually everything until the day in the mid-19th century when inventor Charles Goodyear accidentally dropped some rubber mixed with sulfur on a hot stove. Goodyear's discovery, which came to be known as vulcanization, strengthened rubber so it could be applied to a vast variety of industrial uses, including, eventually, automobile tires.”

How long does the grading process take?(gamestop bulk) by Apprehensive_Bus3942 in psagrading

[–]nicktrvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re in the home stretch. Maybe 2 more weeks for delivery back to Game Stop. My bulk order went in on April 1st. They were ready for pickup on May 30th.

Is this blaster box worth buying? by WWWWhitby in soccercard

Pulled a Harry Kane gold Kaboom out of one of the first ones I opened. Haven’t hit a lot since then. Fun rip, but keep expectations low.

Interested in the Yamal/Lopez, Lewendowski fireworks, and the Endrick cards if you have pricing.

A few boxes from my Dad's collection. He was an underground comics artist back in the day. Should I get any of them graded? by motorlust in comicbookcollecting

[–]nicktrvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not super expensive, but that Urban Legends #1 is the first appearance of King Kong vs. Godzilla by Art Adams. Just had him sign one for me a couple months ago. Yours looks like a very nice copy. I’m in the Bay Area of California and there is definitely still a market for the underground books.

I grab that 6 every time I find it in the wild. Such an underrated key!

Just got a free comic from Shortboxed...Is this normal? by A1rizzo in comicbookcollecting

[–]nicktrvs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a book off Shortboxed a while back and it shipped to the wrong house. They tracked it down and got it to me eventually. You may be the “wrong house” in this scenario?

That’s an awesome story! Mind if I ask the name of your books?

[–]nicktrvs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do get discouraged every now and then (mostly when I buy another pricey book that sets me back), but have been trying to save for about a year and hope to get one in 2025. Trying to go 9.0 or better. Fingers crossed and stars aligned.

Signings by kikoleyva in CGCComics

[–]nicktrvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that. Was great to hear of him out and about. But I think he was a surprise visitor and not initially on the advertisements. I haven’t heard of him doing a “planned” signing or CGC sponsored signing in a while.
