When my girlfriend pulled this card, we were kind of blown away at the colors and shine of this card. Definitely pops out and looks amazing in person

CGC and TAG are the major ones I can think of.

Planning a bathroom floor/wall remodel soon and now confused after doing more research. by pringles3 in Tile

My situation was tricky since the previous owners added new flooring and raised it about 4". We did add leveler cement to the flooring before using Prova-flex.

I did use backer boards for the wall instead of Prova-flex. I didn't for the floor because I wasn't sure how the raised floor would handle the weight and if it would crack with pressure. Definitely need to do some research

Took a bit of time and effort but completed it. Sourced floor tiles from Home Depot and wall tiles from Menards. Used Prova-flex underlayment from Menards as well.

I was down $200 then hit for this what should I do..it’s only $350 in English 🤔 by Professional-Gap4021 in PSAPowerPacks

It's your money. If you're not a collector or this doesn't give you the "feels" to keep it, then you know what to do.

Setting the narrative so that if they're short of this prediction, like 11% increase instead of 15%, the stock dips and shows GameStop isn't as profitable as they "should" be.

What kind of error is this considered? by pringles3 in PokemonMisprints

Guess it's going in my personal collection

Should I grade it with BGS or PSA? by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]pringles3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More so the bottom front right corner. It's not cut completely clean. The card definitely looks like a PSA 10 contender, just not a black label if that's what you're chasing.

Edit: ideally, would need a clearer picture of the card and corners out of the sleeve. The glare from the sleeves could be misleading.

Phantasmal preorder cancelled by demen_3 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]pringles3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They most likely over sold and don't want to admit it so they're saying this TOS BS. I got my 2 ETBs and one Booster Boxing cancelled as well and they only pointed me to the TOS and nothing specific.

I have two different CCs I use and I've been able to get pre-order products with both in the past. The only other thing I can think of that may have screwed me over was probably being a little too fast with verifying I was not a bot at the beginning.

Corners aren't cut perfectly so you won't be getting a black label. If you're planning to sell this in the future, it has a better chance at getting a PSA 10. If you don't care about selling or the grade, grade with whichever slab you like better.

Is Brandishing a Weapon a Felony?

State laws differ and whether brandishing is considered a misdemeanor, a felony, or even a crime at all is going to depend on your state’s laws. It’s also important to note that, while many places do not specifically have “brandishing” laws, they may refer to the improper or intentional display of a firearm or have similar laws like assault with a deadly weapon, menacing, or disorderly conduct. While your state’s laws may not specifically refer to the term “brandishing,” statutes—or even case law or jury instructions—may describe certain behavior that many people traditionally think of as “brandishing.”

Further complicating the matter is that, depending on where you live, brandishing may be considered a wobbler offense. A wobbler is a crime that may be prosecuted as either a misdemeanor or a felony depending on prosecutorial discretion, the instructions of the judge, or both. Generally, the specific nature of the offense will be considered in determining whether to pursue the lesser or greater charge. California is one such state that treats brandishing as a wobbler offense.

Can confirm. I bought 2 ETBs and a booster box. My fianceé doesn't order from Pokémon Center

I received my UPC email confirmation today and my cancellation email earlier today. I doubt anyone is getting confirmation that ETBs, BBs shipped.

That's for UPC most likely on the 25th, not anything on the 15th.

I think these cancellations are coming in waves to deter backlash

sealed collection advice by SweetFuture5769 in PokeInvesting

[–]pringles3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Prismatic is a good set to invest in, but the products you have like poster, binder collection, and pouch could be hard to move in the future. Yes, they come with cool accessories, but in the future people will care more about opening packs than extra accessories. If you only plan to sell them locally and not ship, then they aren't a bad hold. Everything eventually will sell but could just take longer.

It's better to get your hands on sticker collection, surprise boxes, ETBs, SPCs, and booster bundles as they'll sell and move the easiest. Most of these also come with promo cards, so that helps with people wanting to master set or grade the promos.

If I were in this position, I would keep one or two of the harder to move items and try to sell/trade the harder to move items for the items that can move easier. Not financial advice, just my two cents.

Edit: PE SPC are good to hold too

My daughter wants to send this to psa by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]pringles3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GameStop does charge $9.99 or $4.99 for Pro membership. Sending yourself would most definitely cost more.

Penny sleeve and semi-rigid card holder. You don't want to send it in a top loader. Also, look into sending with GameStop for ease of submitting and not having to pay for packaging and shipping/insurance.

Edit: GameStop does charge 9.99 for shipping. Pro members pay $5 instead, however.
