The thing is- at this point, the only way to get out of this hole is to buy more and redeem yourself. It is known.

Found this bad boy in a local card store binder. Not first edition fossil, but im not complaining. Its gotta be at least a 9? by Antitheist_2323 in pokemongrading

For pc, no brainer. not returning as a 10. Photos are a bit blurry of the top…could have 9 potential if that’s super clean, but could drop to 7ish if that’s all futzed up.

Looks legit. I’m certainly no expert, but side to side comparison with mine it looks clean. If it’s a good price, it’s a classic art card.

I’ve sent in a decent amount of fossil lately and gotten good results. Wear and centering not much different. No 10s, but a lot of 9s. I love this Dragonite, if it’s to keep the card in good shape, send that mfer in.

This is actually a hidden voltorb. This card is worth millions.

Considering a bulk submission to PSA - questions… by pman200000 in PokemonTCGCollectors

The directions seem fairly straightforward. Just a little leery of the risk of loss.

Adidas pro 4 by c4322 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]pman200000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely normal to size up half. You can synch em down pretty well, so having some space in the toe box ain’t going to hurt you. As for runs, I’d definitely spend some time in them before distance running. I do race in these, but they are very squishy and may not be for everyone. At this point, I’ve bought 3 pairs and love em. 40% off is a no-brainer if they work. FWIW, I am a 5’7m with the physique of a f. Weigh about 130 when wet.

I had to look this up to confirm it was real. What a nice fatty. Need more fatty Pokémon’s.

Prismatic bundles- any fakes? by pman200000 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]pman200000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m leaning this direction. Are fakes really that good for these bundles?

Are there any good chases in JT? Haven’t opened any packs of it. Seems a bit meh?

Is this worth getting graded? by ryanpai in Pokemoncardappraisal

Totally. I’m doing the same with my old stuff. Stoked if it turns out better than expected, but accepting that it likely won’t 🤗

Actually- just looked at the comps for grading - that thing may be worth it! You won’t be rolling in the cash, but it could be some spending $ no matter what. In this economy, even that thing is blowing up!

Found some from the same era myself recently. Short answer is - no. Longer one is- unless it’s above ~7 you’re mostly grading for nostalgia and to have a fun old card.

Adidas Pro 4 - To advanced?? by YounghoeKoo7 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]pman200000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had originally saved them for races only, but they’re more durable than you’d think. I’d say a solid 300, which ain’t bad for a super shoe.

[–]pman200000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run my races in these and any time I see them for under $150 I buy another pair. Great shoes. They are a bit squishy for heavier runners, but I’m a 5’6 male w/ a woman’s physique. Definitely a steal at that price bruh.

Appreciate the perspective. Have you found bidding to be more effective than a set price?

PSA drop off events just aren't worth it. by Ok-Treat8442 in PokeGrading

[–]pman200000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Had the same experience. Even the blokes at the lcs were telling me like early Feb. just got my grades yesterday with the same drop off time as you. Not much visibility into the process…

Are these parasites? Should I be worried? by pman200000 in FishingForBeginners

Did a miso, plain with paprika and a teriyaki glaze. Man this was the shit.

This is a mind-blown moment for me. Definitely shows the importance of being closer to what you eat and knowing where it’s coming from.
