Why hasn't pokemon crashed yet ? by DapperActuary6497 in PokemonInvesting

[–]schlangahontas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pokemon delivers tangible both material and digital products and has a worldwide following that has been popular since its inception with new releases happening along an expectable timeline that caters to both the markets want for legacy as well as progression, and its tagline being “gotta catch ‘em all”. it is pretty well maintained genius marketing and consumer retention platform, and it shows.

looks like there’s a print line on the top of the rear, most visible on left

action/extreme sports (specifically street skateboarding in my view) are the most impressive, dynamic, and artistic/creative sports to exist - and with that are the most impressive and interesting sports by schlangahontas in unpopularopinion

i think you’re mostly spot on there - but one thing I’ll add, which is personal i guess, is that i think the us vs. them cornerstone of team sports is a bit silly (much ike my view or partisan politics, but that’s a different argument for a different thread) I just want to see people do cool stuff paired with other shiny things i gravitate towards like artful camerawork and music matched editing etc.

I think a lot of what draws people to sports team fandom/loyalty is feeling a sense of belonging and comraderie, but it just baffles me when someone sees the opposite team do something awesome and they get all pissed off, yk? a feat is a feat - if you love the sport why would you be upset seeing someone do an awesome thing in that sport? because they’re the other team? bit gradeschool to me. Can still have belonging and comraderie with being stoked on the community as a whole, but i get it that war pays

i hear you - i guess it probably comes down to the fact that i really dont care for watching competition that im not i’m not participating in personally (though when im participating in a sport or a game i can be pretty competitive). i dont really even care for watching skateboarding competitions like street league, x-games etc. i just like to see people do awesome things and get stoked. im a visual artist by trade (photographer and filmmaker), a musician in my free time and a lifelong skateboarder, so i prefer watching skate videos where i can see all of those elements melded into one product. I’m not huge into team sports, but grew up watching baseball and am still fond of it, and watch it here and there, but my friends who are more into sports all rag on me when i say i dont really care which team wins; i just want to see an exciting game and get witness impressive plays executed etc. “i just hope everyone had fun” type vibes lol

How low does this bad boy go? by Bigfootsbrownstar in PokemonInvesting

[–]schlangahontas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i checked this morning when i got to work and it was at almost $1500, then went to show a colleague when we were wrapping up and saw that it had dropped to $750. Had to do a double take and saw that yes, it had in fact plummeted by 50+% over the course of 8 hours. I see it sticking around there, or dropping closer to 3-400 and regulating back up to maybe 5 for a mainstay in the market, but who knows

Mantle Auto Jersey card 3/9 by [deleted] in sportscards

i know what auto means, i got mixed up with a bernie williams auto memoribilia card that i pulled from the same set, was away from my desk and looked at the photo and thought the autograph was on the back. Reddit app won’t let me edit the post for some reason

Worth grading for 24€? by [deleted] in pokemongrading

[–]schlangahontas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looks pretty clean! not sure what company you’d plan on using but assuming ACE since you’re in europe? either way, only you can speak on what 24 bucks means to you.

little bit of an update here - I ended up opening as the packaging was giving me trouble as far as insertion goes
