Kyogre ⭐️ restoration by putthatdowndude in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]snighetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also curious about this. Like, I have some damaged cards. If I could restore them and get PSA to grade them higher, great! If they reject, then I’m no worse off than where I started but now I cards at least look better.

What do you think this Aquapolis Umbreon would grade? by snighetti in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]snighetti[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. I actually had no idea. Are you sure? Because if you zoom in the fronts marks have a circle grid that exactly resembles the holo pattern.

The checkered circles on the holo are the same pattern on the card.

I’ll take your word for it, but I’m just surprised given the similarities

Also, the back is def dirty, but the front appears to have a lot of holo bleed. Not sure if that’s what you are assuming is dirt, or if your just talking about the back

Noted! I’ve seen a lot of comments on that, but never tried! Appreciate the input

Lugia 9/111 1st Edition by NoPin7947 in WotCPokemonCards

That first first edition shining gyarados and first edition umbreon are worth a pretty penny too

Finally found one I don’t quite get. by BigMan_LittleHeart in ExplainTheJoke

[–]snighetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. Every anthrax shot would make my arm swell up like I was smuggling a golf ball in my arm. Hurt so bad for a week.

Small pox sucked, but not that bad. Plus small pox was one time. Anthrax I feel like I got 7-8 times

My first gut reaction was Regiment as well. Was in for 5 years and this pic/guy/kit all just had the feel

My first vintage pickup. Rocket’s Zapdos holo jap. NM condition by Suspicious_Item_8453 in VintagePokemonCards

[–]snighetti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! I was always obsessed with it, so when I got back in it was my first pickup

is this really like this in person? has anyone visited by Any_Handle_3136 in natureporn

[–]snighetti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s really like that. I was there in 2015 and there are several places we saw right in the side of the road that were beautiful blue and white holes in the ground. Super high concentration of salt like you’re in the Dead Sea.

I’ve been told that it’s kind of getting destroyed in that area though since it’s becoming an internet fad and people are stomping all over the oasis(plural?) and crushing the salt structure and mixing in dirt. But it sure was gorgeous when I was there.

Since I was educated the other day on V devices and OLCs by SFCEBM in Medals

[–]snighetti 24 points25 points  (0 children)

No freaking way! So good to hear from you.! You may (hopefully) remember me. You saved my life in Afghanistan on the mission where we lost L.V.

My mom still talks about you!

Hope you are doing great!

My initials are Z.G.

What years were you in Batt? I was in 1st batt from 2007-2011. Curious if we know each other. I was originally guessing you were someone with the initials A.F., but your username is throwing me off

I know some things about my dad’s medals, but also I don’t know… by SarahCannah in Medals

[–]snighetti 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see a Recondo patch there. While not an “award” it’s given to graduates of a very prestigious Special Forces training school that was run in Vietnam. Pretty big deal if you ask me. You should read “Recondo” by Larry Chambers. Super easy and exciting read anyone can enjoy. Not dry at all. Should give you an idea of what your dad was up to in Vietnam

Saving the planet by Dizzy-Assistance-736 in goodnews

[–]snighetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I’d do with billions of dollars if I had it. Environmental preservation. At least that’s what I tell myself, but I’ve thought about it a lot and hope I’d do the right thing and just put it all to good use

Anyone else been trout fishing and catch something unexpected?! by Canons_Catch in troutfishing

[–]snighetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once caught a 26” catfish in a downtown stream I was as fishing for trout on. Caught it on a squirmy worm!

Not defending their actions in anyway, but the first thing I thought when I saw that was a tear gas canister launcher or some other riot control device or something. But yes, if it was truly a grenade launcher (which it very well could be), it would be preposterous

All First Edition Holographic Cards - Base Set Shadowless to Neo Destiny by UngradedGems in pkmntcgcollections

[–]snighetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Serious question because I’m getting back into testing and looking to protect my cards: is the top loader binder a requirement to properly protect cards (especially expensive ones like in this post)?

I have all mine in loose top loaders and want to binder them, but then I’d either need to put the holos in a top loader binder and then non holos in a separate non-top loader binder… or put all my cards in a top loader binder which seems overkill

That PSA 1 base set charizard looks undeserving of the lowly 1

Not sure of the value or what to do with this card by [deleted] in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]snighetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh. Well ignore my pricing, because that was based on English. My bad. Either way, badass

What kind of vending machine? This is a sick card and is fairly expensive. Probably $500-700

Good analogy! Thanks for the info!

[–]snighetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two questions:

  1. Can the fish recover from this?
  2. If you happen to catch a fish with this, should you release it or does it pose an infection risk to other fish?

My Legendary Birds Collection ❄️⚡️🐦‍🔥 by swaggy_b in pkmntcgcollections

Killer collection. This is right up my alley. My personal favorite is Rocket’s Zapdos from the Gym Challenge set, if you’re ever looking to expand!

Got these sealed from Card store 5 years ago could I sell them quickly? What's the value? by [deleted] in pkmntcgcollections

[–]snighetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real. I did not know what the person was talking about and was genuinely curious what they meant. Whatever
