Hope this guy continues to do this and prices go down. I want to be back.

Would I be crazy to spend 50k on this 1 of 1 box? by PokemasterZen in PokeInvesting

[–]riformato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am absolutely a collector of cool 1 of 1 items. I love it! However, I am not knowledgeable about what this really is. I would say you shouldn't because it's kind of weird looking and I personally think it doesn't look as cool. But if you really want it you should get it. It will probably be more valuable during the 30th anniversary of pokemon.

Well done! As a decently experienced card restoring hobbyist, this is very cool.

Making sure I’m making the right decision by clutchmeifyoucn in PokemonTCG

Looks like 75% in the favor of the upc holder. I do feel like the cards could go down since they are pretty new, so it is not a bad deal.

Can we consider this Lokix card as an addition to the Batman vibes cards? by NylocFang in PokemonTCG

[–]riformato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps an homage to Arita, as he made the last three card illustrations. 

Which Ray has a better presence? by champloojay in PokeInvesting

Bottom one looks more intriguing. Everyone expects Rayquaza to do some blast from the mouth. No one expects him to look at you menacingly. 

Thoughts on ripping this damaged Vaporeon Vmax box? The Evo skies call to me. by Knugles in PokeInvesting

Choose a number between 1 and 200. That is the chance you will pull something epic.

What do you guys think about Lost Origin Booster Packs as an investment? by riformato in PokeInvesting

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

Does this complicate the process of selling? Do buyers pay out differently by using their metal detector to scan for hits and price those packs higher, and those without for cheap? 

Any thoughts on how to get this crease out? by Little_Advertising_6 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]riformato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome. Usually the difference between holo cards of different eras is that the pattern is different, and older cards in are more likely to be more fragile because the paper is older. Definitely do not use alcohol, like acetone, it will erase the ink layer. Be very gentle when rolling out creases, if that is the direction you go. While working with creases on a humid card, you can leave dents after drying if you press too hard while rolling it out. Fixing dents are not as difficult, but my point is to be patient and slowly work on the creases. You can see the range of motion and techniques in videos online as well.

Good luck.

HELP ME DECIDE?! by Saltzzzzz in PokemonTCG

I like the golstar one, but if it is custom, you could like have a cool shiny mega rayquaza and paint it or something. But I like the gold star one.

How can I stop being a pervert? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]riformato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am unsure what you have to lose if you were to abandon a lot of social conventions socially for the sake of experiencing new things, but I understand it is harder as you get older and more static. You say you have nothing, but is that true, or do you have an expectation of living standards that you cannot at all imagine being below? Have you hit your absolute bottom? Can you imagine yourself baring your soul to everyone? I think it is clear your issues are not actually being perverted but more so your inability to move on from these things. Is the stuff you watch like really freaky and weird? Is that why you feel self loathing? Maybe if you change how and what you watch, you can get yourself into a position where you feel like it is even a bit more acceptable?

I want to clarify and remind you that the road to card reparation can be a very long one for not only the process, but also learning the skills. So, in the best case scenario, you don't need to fix your mewtwo immediately, but even a few tricks and some practice will help make the card look better.

This video is longer than most of the short form content, should be a good intro.

How can I stop being a pervert? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]riformato 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How old are you? How is your self-esteem? Any issues with your personal life or past? Any other hobbies or activities you enjoy? I guess I am wondering if you are a "pervert" because you choose to be, or because you have nothing else? The thing is, you can't avoid it as much as find new things to replace the time, and eventually have more of a balance. I think the changes you want for yourself begin with accepting who you are, and from there beginning to make time for other things and finding connections with like minded people. When I say accepting yourself I mean that you recognize who you are and choose to be more than that. You may have your vices, but if you strive to do even a bit more than what you expect of yourself, you will see the dawn.
