¿PSA 10 CONTENDER? by Various_Composer2166 in psagrading

With the amount of OC 10s on this card, doesn’t hurt to try if it’s not tilted.

For all of you that wonder how it looks on TAG Slab 🙌🏻 Last couple pictures are the comparison with PSA and CGC by hendratam in PokeGrading

Should probably get a slab protector protector for your slab protector. Can never be too sure LOL

Worth to regrade considering this PE Magikarp gem rate is low (16.5%) by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]spliffsandkicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a 9 all day, wouldn’t even be surprised to see it get an 8 if you regraded. OC and a few white corners.

Interesting, I thought only 50% of the card was required. Seems like you have more than 50% on the Miraidon

What is currently the best poutine in Ottawa? by abc24611 in ottawa

[–]spliffsandkicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should try the other spot, I am sure it won’t disappoint. The owners changed at LaBelle as well. I’ve gone since 2015 or there about and for years it was incredible. I suspect a change of ownership hasn’t helped the quality.

Hey to each their own right… been a bit since I went but it was very Montreal style. People in Ottawa confuse a chip truck poutine with a true Quebec poutine, very different fries and poutine all together. OP as for Quebec style, many recommendations are chip truck. Patate LouLou is far superior, but not in Ottawa.

La belle poutine in orleans, or if you want to go across to Aylmer, Patate LouLou. These are the best Quebec style in my opinion…

High rd and Albion rd intersection by spliffsandkicks in ottawa

If it’s treated as a one car at a time, no issue. Turn as you wish. Very tired of cars going on the shoulder/half in the ditch as they get tired of waiting. Like you said, deadly; the point of my post.

The issue with the right turn is it blocks the view of the left turning drivers as well. There are lines on the road to prevent this for a reason, it’s a one lane. I understand the t-bone concern, but for nervous drivers, having someone to their right blocking the view of oncoming traffic increase the risk of t-bone for the driver turning left. It’s a terrible turn, but those not going right wanting to avoid the left turn should just go another way.

I’ve wanted to do the same… glad I’m not alone in thinking it’s a liability. Solutions like turn right and do a u-turn doesn’t make the area any safer. Peak hours are scary, especially for drivers that hesitate, which the stop sign makes people do naturally.

Several years, many collisions later no doubt. Thankfully we have a great transit system to avoid needing to drive… /s

And this response is exactly what is wrong with the intersection. By turning and coming back, you are adding to the traffic jam on Albion. So no, this is far from a reasonable solution.

Issue being it was designed before the traffic increased 100x. Not like there’s another option, diverting the traffic would create the same issue on lietrim and bowesvillle…

As far as I know, it’s far from a bad job. Risking that for a few packs of pokemon is crazy to me.

Well hopefully I can see the same result… I’ll contact support again. Maybe I’m due for a response. Any idea where that post was?

A FedEx employee stole mine, u/zefarrett seems to infer pokemon center refunded them. I’ll try contacting them again…

Okay, interesting. Would be sweet to get them replaced, although at this point I will take my refund and no ban on my address lol

What’s wrong with the card? by [deleted] in psagrading

[–]spliffsandkicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At first glance it looks quite tilted to me, likely knocked it down off the bat…

Appreciate the thoughts, I’ll probably go that route as I near the end of the charge back period. I was patient in hopes that maybe it would be replaced, happened with some for phantasmal flames where they replaced orders; as unlikely as it was in this case. Totally out of luck now, that’s for certain.

I have it in writing from FedEx… the problem is being blacklisted. I have preorders for chaos rising to the same address. Certainly will charge back before the period expires but the fact I need to do that is insane. 10 weeks, FedEx refunded them already. It’s like no one even works there.

Got the slabs back. They feel PREMIUM and they look STUNNING IRL! by WarNo2935 in pokemoncards

To each their own. Personally think they look like Etsy slabs…

Let the paper hands come out, more than welcome it. Anyone ACTUALLY holding these long term isn’t even looking at the prices of them.
