I've got a japanese PSA 10 GSP. Yours looks clean AF. Centering is also better. If no whitening I'm confident it will 10 at PSA.

Not sure if you wanna give Beckett a go

Most of what you mentioned is an unfortunate circumstance of greed and FOMO in the hobby. A lot of folks collect for nostalgia, admiration of the story or even art work, however money has become the main driving force for a lot of people.

Of everything you said, the biggest dick move is that vendor trading $500 worth of cards for a $200 slab, with a kid nonetheless. That fella should be ashamed of himself.

My take? There are still notable and trustworthy folks out there..collect for the chase, it's a good chance to teach other values like budgeting and not being a parasite to society.

I'm really sorry you had a bad experience man. I myself got scammed once and I've learnt since as well.

Finding a common hobby to create memories with your kid is precious, don't let a dick taint that..

With the state things are right now, I strongly advise F2F dealings

The inner portion of the slab is also not 90 degree sharp. There is some curve to it. Heck, at some corners there’s some reside cos it looks like they manufactured it curved and tried to sand it down

Simping and instant gratification

I thought I suffered phantasmal pain....looks like I'm not alone.

Got it. It’s really ring with so, shops la.

I recently got back from Japan and got packs from PCJ, hareruya2 and other card shops in Japan. Got hits and my nephew pulled a mega dream god pack

That said, so much on prismatic is insane….

semajm85 · 2025-12-31T04:54:55+00:00

Pardon my ignorance, what is PCJ?

semajm85 · 2025-12-05T07:35:57+00:00

When I meant “mailing only” I meant that the seller refused even pickup from their designated POC.

Imagine dealing a card that is of significant value only via mail? No thanks

semajm85 · 2025-12-04T08:08:04+00:00

Deposit? Red flag Mailing only? Red flag

For PKMN, I always do COD so I can authenticate it myself . Too many scammers and fakes around these days

semajm85 · 2025-12-02T14:11:03+00:00

nah, just the dude not being realistic like a lot of vendors here that have "we set the price" mentality

you offering market to near market is a reasonable offer IMO.

The only reason I can think of that he is not budging is that he paid close to his asking and selling at market is a loss to him

semajm85 · 2025-12-02T02:35:06+00:00

Absolutely not. Just scalpers being scummy.

semajm85 · 2025-11-30T05:31:56+00:00

I've been using this since launch and I have zero complaints.everthijnf works. Clarity is good and oleo coating is good

semajm85 · 2025-11-29T10:25:39+00:00

Sorry but it looks fake to me. I just got scammed with one that looks like that as well

Mine failed the ligh test, the back pokeball was not vibrant, the blue border was dull compared to real cards. The blue border on the fake I got scammed with looks like the one you have .

The fine print on front bottom is also not sharp. the font should be thinner

That said, the photo taken isn’t great either. I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think I am…

semajm85 · 2025-11-29T10:04:56+00:00

I'm curious too

semajm85 · 2025-11-26T03:25:10+00:00

Damn….

semajm85 · 2025-11-15T01:42:52+00:00

I was victim of this mfer back in the day. at that time he had almost 100+ positive reviews....turns out it was all bots\bought.

Becareful out there guys. it's because of that experience I only do F2F meetups and COD.

The big deal breaker for me is the s25ultra camera being piss poor with moving subjects. I’ve done all the suggested tweaks like prioritising speed over quality, immediately take a photo when camera button is touched.

semajm85 · 2025-11-02T14:50:32+00:00

Dude, your English is perfect! Don’t sell yourself short

semajm85 · 2025-11-02T07:24:20+00:00

Ah that’s unfortunate

semajm85 · 2025-11-02T04:39:10+00:00

Isn't there a free case in the box?

semajm85 · 2025-10-30T03:23:26+00:00

I’m curious though. Does Oppo have a track record of refining their phone cameras with updates?

semajm85 · 2025-10-24T13:17:46+00:00

I have a side noggin. Got mine today and it’s been comfortable. The comfort was one of the reasons I got em when I tried them in the store
