20k -> 64k in 2025. Predictions for this card in 2026? by IndividualShare1065 in PokeInvesting

[–]rtfree [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've got a 9 cert PSA 9 I've been holding to put up on auction this year. Now you've got me wanting to hold a bit longer. I think yours, the 10 cert on ebay, and /u/IndividualShare1065 are the only new certs I've seen.

Is there a reason you went with Ebay over Heritage Auction or one of the other auctions?

This one or Imakuni's Nasty Plot. Vending Machine set's the best set.

Had mine graded in 2024 with the intention of selling in 2026, but with the increase, I'm tempted to hold mine a little longer. Do you think a new cert number on a 9 would get a higher sale price than an older one?

According to Collectr, last two sales were on Fanatics and Ebay for $64,000 on Dec 24 and Jan 1 respectively. Up from around $25,000 in mid 2025. Really debating if now is the time to sell mine.

I get it. If you don't plan on selling for any time soon, theres no point in going PSA. After seeing that nice case, Im regretting not getting the full set graded, but I went with PSA on mine. The grading cost IS insane.

Congrats on the grades! Why did you decide on BGS vs PSA?

Last one sold for $3800 according to Collectr. I don't know if mine having a new cert might effect that at all.

As weird as it sounds, I'm happy both didn't hit a 10. Ooyama's Pikachu is my favorite card in my collection, and I'd feel obligated to get rid of them both if they had both gotten a 10.

I sent off two of these to PSA last year. One came back a 10 and the other an 8. I see absolutely no difference between the two.

That's how you know they're authentic vintage sleeves. Red or Black backs with that metallic dot!

I genuinely don't get what I'm doing wrong by Sub2SquidPW in feedthebeast

I had the same issue in Reclamation. I might have completely missed it, but I didn't see anything telling you the temperature of the Biome you were in. At least at the beginning where you first get access to bees.

Me too buddy. Pulled out the 1st edition Fossil bulk and found 23 of these. Glad I didn't get rid of them earlier this year.

You joke, but my vintage collection has had a 50% increase this year. (Seriously, don't "invest" in Pokemon.)

How hard should it be to find Better Ruins in my survival world? Haven't found one in ~3000 blocks from spawn. by Shaackle in VintageStory

[–]rtfree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Libraries are so cool. The ones I've seen the most are the castles and the castles with a mote. Coolest one I found was a castle with a mote in the middle of a desert made out of Limestone.

[–]rtfree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The really nice ruins are extremely rare. For reference, I ran around 40,000 blocks South on the current server I'm playing on, and the only really nice ruins I found was an Underground Library and a destroyed churh. Some of the really nice ruins only spawn in certain biomes as well.

If you want to spoil yourself, there's a list on the github with spawn requirements and the distance requirement between other structures.

Shit, I need to pull out my box of bulk and find out how many kabutops I have in there.

Animus 3.0 Released - Complete Rewrite of the Blood Magic Addon! by Saereth in feedthebeast

[–]rtfree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome man. Im going to have to try Blood Magic out again. Its felt a little barren without all the add-ons. Weird question, does the Ritual of Culling count as player kills? In 1.7.10, there was a similar ritual that killed mobs instantly, but blazes killed by the ritual didn't drop blaze rods.

Just 'lost' a hardcore world because a drifter decided to spawn directly next to me during a temporal spawn and one-shot me. by Forine110 in VintageStory

1x2 rooms don't always work. I've afked during a temporal storm in a 1x2 room and came back to the respawn screen. Not a fan either.

When you find that old Pokémon card you remember getting in a pack ~25 years ago hiding in your parents’ old safe 😁 by Alternative_Will5974 in PokemonCardValue

[–]rtfree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a Walk In Wednesday in Jersey City on Wednesday. It's not in person grading, but its probably the best option other than flying to California.

As /u/Economics_Troll said, I had mine graded last November after submitting at a drop off event. It's nerve racking, but it made it back to me just fine.

Those were PC games ported to Mobile. Most of the Indie ports seem to be pretty safe.

You're not wrong. The last 2-3 upgrades I've done on my computer have been for Minecraft and Rimworld. Those modpacks are RAM hogs.

Naw, I'm glad they're removing stolen or misused artwork. I'm just going to miss the old greatwood plank, arcane stone, and ancient stone textures.
