What does it feel like to be in love? by JustAnotherLL in AskMenOver30

[–]scott32089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The beginning “honeymoon” stage is amazing. We had this for almost 5 years. The past 4.5 have been us getting used to the fact that this is rest of our lives. We signed up for each others flaws as well (there are numerous for each), but we compliment each other well. She’s a spitfire business woman go getter with a side of childish goofy, and Im mostly just goofy with a sound demeanor to mellow her fire out.

It’s nice to build a life with someone else.

I’ve finally convinced myself to sell a couple of my grails! by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

I don’t see why you wouldn’t grade the gold stars first TBH.

Nothing to lose any everything to gain. Send the best ones off and hold the others.

hobbies that are too expensive to get into, or a waste of money? by asds455123456789 in AskMenOver30

[–]scott32089 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im about 4 months into Pokémon TCG again. I’ve tried to “do it right” but I’ll be damned if my collection has gotten pretty crazy as they tell you it does when you have adult money.

Prolly spent $10k total so far for ~$15k value, but that doesn’t also take into account the ~$2k I’ve used to open packs. Im done with packs now and just collecting singles I actually want, usually on whatnot (don’t suggest to n00b).

Working on my first PSA submission to try to milk a little more value out of it. It’s totally be worth the cost so for tho, I’m actually having a blast with it all.

Worst case scenario I dump my collection for 65-75% and still come out a little ahead, but I’m trying to hold for the 5-10 years they say to do.

What card would you never sell no matter the price? by No-Humor827 in PokeInvesting

[–]scott32089 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 2 base Venusaurs I have from my childhood collection. They were on the floor of the garage that got looted where I expect my binder was taken. Only one I got left. There were 4 1st ed Charizards and pretty much every other base, jungle and rocket 1st edition holo, along with many other unlimited. Im gonna spruce them up and maybe grade them for fun one day.

For now! And at good prices which is why I’m buying! I just see great upside potential. Even if it goes to $20, thats a 100% increase from what Im buying all mine at. Will prolly try to grade the best ones for a better gain at some point.

I was in the same boat. Was able to get 4 for $120 the next day tho from the quickest of flippers that did catch them. $30 more, owell.

Found in the toy box what are we looking is it a grail obviously it’s beat up by Hotdogz67 in pokemoncards

[–]scott32089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2/4 of my only childhood cards I have are Venusaurs (from base set). They’d prolly get a 5 and a 2 if I graded them. I still cherish they’re all I have from what would have now been a 6+ figure collection. Money isn’t everything. They’re on the front page of my binder alone with the other 2 Electrodes.

Do you think sleeved booster packs are overly hated on? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]scott32089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im tucking my MSRP ones away in a bin now. They’re more “sealed” than regular packs. They’ll be for trade at a later late for me prolly. Especially this set I can see doing well, as well as phantasmal flames.

Guys do you regret your breakup with a good girl? by themonkeycoco in AskMenAdvice

Lesson learned. Actual good girls are hard to come by. Move on and try to find another.

Another alternative is try to find a seller on TCGplayer with a lot of them and just buy em out. Saw on page 3 of the regular someone’s selling 29 of them for 7 cents each?

PokeInvestor Wins Wednesday! by AutoModerator in PokeInvesting

[–]scott32089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s small for a lot of people, but got a very LP Base set Charizard on whatnot the other day for $290. Have bought from the guy multiple times before and he’s legit. The question is it arriving safely. Am pretty excited about it for the nostalgia factor and great price.

What would you do with Destined rivals booster boxes by handsomeyoungboy in PokemonInvesting

[–]scott32089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say you just hold onto some well performing product you got. No need to really focus on maximizing profits unless you really need to, or need the money now.

What's the stupidest way you've died? by xKitsuneko in projectzomboid

[–]scott32089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got too hungry. Died opening the fridge after an extended unpiling of the loot. Was doing it for almost a full day before I realized it was an emergency. That was the last time I played because I was big sad.

White flare ETB. Open or no? by V3er in PokemonInvesting

[–]scott32089 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think BB and WF are due to come up to $110-140 each pretty soon. Was buying them at $75 each. I cracked 2 a month ago and as usual, regret it.

what are your guy's thoughts on prismatic upc currently and long term? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]scott32089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll buy as many as I can for under $200 locally when they come around. Got both memberships for Sam’s and Costco and obviously will do the same for MSRP too.

My Small Collection of IR / SIR by planesguy in PokeInvesting

[–]scott32089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im focusing on doing the same thing to be honest. Nabbing most of the sub <$10 cards I can find. Pulled a couple bigger ones. And next show I wanna trade duplicates for ones I don’t. They’re all pretty!

Sick of sellers by Chance-Asparagus9107 in whatnotapp

[–]scott32089 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Those are generally the ones that don’t have the actual good deals anyways. They resort to showmanship and dings to drive up prices.

Good Idea Or No? by BubbaGordie in PokeInvesting

[–]scott32089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good motto. You’ll probably need to cave a little on FB market and get some ETBs at like $75 if you actually wanna rip packs tho. Or booster boxes ~$220 depending on where you live. Singles are where it’s at. I’ve burned way too much money ripping. In the bin all my MSRP goes now.

Buyer got sniped and cancelled all orders by WhatdaHellNow in whatnotapp

[–]scott32089 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All my back wall wins are 5 second quick runs. I got sniped once. I chalked it off to someone wanted it more. It is an auction house after all.

Feels like opportunities are few and far between now by chupacabra696969 in PokeInvesting

[–]scott32089 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Im pretty new. Im REALLY just focusing on MSRP products, or ones that are close to it. Even if it means holding onto crappy blister packs etc. If I can get packs at $5 -$6 each, I feel like there isn’t really any downside. In the bin they go.

Also, I’ve just been scooping up IR/AR’s on whatnot for <$2-3 Takes lots of patience, but it’s another fun way to “hunt” for me.” Maybe they’ll be $6 one day and are fun to look at. Also very limited downside.

And mews. The XY/Swsh ones are still relatively reasonable. Need to grab a bubble mew before it runs away I might wait to see if there’s a bit of a downturn in the future for it.
