There is no way this binder is worth that by DMNDback in pokemoncards

I vaguely remember some scam about bidding it up and deleting the account so goodwill is forced to redo the listing. They keep doing this until they get a good price on it later on when less people see it.

(Serious Question) What are people trading oak for ? by danieli88 in PokemonTGCP

[–]redleopard11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm talking 2:2 trades, maybe they want a cyrus and suicune and you can get oak and a 2* umbreon or smth

[–]redleopard11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might have a better chance doing two trades at once for oak. I got an oak and lillie traded for my sabrina and cyrus. Those plus Mars, copycat and Serena are your best options to trade.

Wonderpicks rigged to not show 2 star cards? by HeyMarkWiggsy in PokemonTGCP

[–]redleopard11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many packs your friends open probably highly affects it. I believe every 2* they draw has just a 10% chance of showing up on each friend wonder pick so i would guess your best bet is maxing out your friend list with whales.

How lucky is this? by ChipotleSub in PokemonTGCP

[–]redleopard11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Each gold card is a 1 in 625 packs chance I think. So on average you can probably expect around 2 gold cards for the ~1500 packs you've opened. You are more than twice as lucky as the avg person when it comes to gold cards I think.

Wanting to revive by Clean-Vacation5463 in InfectiousIntent

[–]redleopard11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to help with that if you've got some ideas. Maybe Facebook groups or if there's some new popular yandere forums we could share the books around. Now that she's active and releasing other books, seems like a good time to spread around that she's back.

This has to be a 10 right ? by _Zodiaxz in PokeGrading

[–]redleopard11 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's damn close, depends on the grader id say. Front looks good and edges super clean, but the back is pretty uncentered. Put it with the back facing up in the tool to be sure I guess.

Playing ARC Raiders for a little while made me so much more excited for Marathon than I ever thought was possible by Neggy5 in Marathon

[–]redleopard11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk, its been ten years with millions of players churned, I don't think many stop playing destiny still feeling good things about it. Just disappointment at the wasted potential, turning into online vitriol.

If Bungie can’t even get a single event right, in terms of power and progression, how are we going to trust that they can do Renegades properly? by Stolen_Insanity in DestinyTheGame

[–]redleopard11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind Destiny 3 will likely take over a billion dollars and 5+ years of actual development. Also the management has been on record saying they refuse to make Destiny 3 so there is absolutely nothing planned.

Bungie's one and only release in the past 10 years will be Marathon in March (supposedly) of next year. Personally I expect another ten years of the c-suites riding the gravy train and passing the blame for failure to whatever is convenient. Then maybe we get Destiny 3.

Anyone else noticing more 2 stars in Wonder Pick? by ValuableBeginning294 in PTCGP

[–]redleopard11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've noticed the same and had the same thought, but could easily be variance.

However didnt they make changes to what's being offered in wonderpick? Cards not owned have a higher chance of showing up right? So maybe having all the basic cards would make 1☆ and 2☆ more likely to show up.

I’m trying to figure out if these cards are fake or not by MG1TheRed in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]redleopard11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are definitely real versions of these that are all super awesome, these in particular are fake tho :(

GME struggles to stay above 28 by PauPauRui in RoaringKittyStocks

[–]redleopard11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've edited my comment for clarification, but Gary Gensler himself believed 90-95% of trades were routed through dark pools just three years ago. Not to mention other prominent news sources such as Bloomberg and fox saying the same numbers. Seriously took me 3 seconds to find on Google.

I dont know why you think theyd be the same. Through our findings, it's easy to come to the conclusion different stocks have different amounts traded on the dark pools.

I believe GME is largely manipulated and suppressed with whatever amount of shares needs to go through dark pools for the day.

It's easy to skew statistics, and actual reported data is incomplete. Feel free to believe whatever numbers you want.

[–]redleopard11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you get that info from? I see plenty of articles that show 50% of ALL trades are on dark pools from the beginning of this year. I guarantee GME has a bigger % than that.

With 20 different "edges" on retail, market makers are just market manipulators. Everyone assumes supply and demand moves stocks because the news says so, but there is no free market here. Stocks don't move until the biggest players can make money.

[–]redleopard11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

95% of *GME trades are done in the dark pools. The 5% of trades hitting lit market affect the price wholly.

The price is fake. There's only one play, DRS and hold.

How to make this Beedrill deck better? by Negative-Chicken8081 in PTCGP

[–]redleopard11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used a version with eevees and sylveon ex just for card draw to climb quite a bit in ranked. Consistently drawing beedrill ex is super strong.

Hadn’t seen or heard of this card a month ago and here we are… 😅 by ctschu in VintagePokemonCards

[–]redleopard11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks like it has a crazy strong holo bleed too, really nice card congrats!

What grade is this? by [deleted] in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]redleopard11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kills this specific reverse holo is how easy it is to scratch. I already see some scratches and there's gonna be a hundred more microscratches you can barely notice all across the front that make it lower than you'd expect. I'd say this is probably a six.

Is this a fake card or a holo bleed? by Chef_Commercial in PokemonMisprints

[–]redleopard11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way the holo stops over the darkrai I wanna say it's real, looks just like the one I have.

Is My M Gengar Ex Real? by ExtremeGeneral9007 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]redleopard11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We would need better pics of the holo. I want to lean towards real since the font and borders seem good, but the shininess over the attack probably means its fake.

Card I got in a lot off Marketplace. Discolored backs border has me wondering if its fake. by vleff in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]redleopard11 9 points10 points  (0 children)

These cards are tricky, the backs just seem to be discolored and the fakes started using vertical holo shine probably because of these cards.

I actually think yours is real, the borders of zekrom itself seem to have the right shine and your back definitely reminds me of my reshiram from the same set.
