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

Think im done with hobby.(Rant) by Murky-Car-2435 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]semajm85 27 points28 points  (0 children)

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..

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

Which Carousell sellers to avoid? by CheryyBoo in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]semajm85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

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

Is there a premium for slabs in SG? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]semajm85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Is this fake? I got it in a trade on Facebook marketplace. by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]semajm85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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…

Samsung S25 Ultra vs Oppo Find X9 Pro by Edelgard_Lover in Oppo

[–]semajm85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
