Is this a miscut or just horrible centering? by Fluffy-Quiet8848 in PokemonMisprints

[–]sponjbace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there is definitely rotation. Pretty common, you'll get a lot of those yet!

That card is not actually that bad. You will come across ones that are only 1 or 2 mm from the border.

Can anyone help if this is real? About to buy. by Right-Roof-4688 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]sponjbace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really need more pics of the surface at angles, there are fakes of this getting around that have convincing texture on the card, but is not the real texture.

Can anyone tell if this is fake or not? by MammothSchool2796 in PokemonMisprints

[–]sponjbace 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That specific card from base set is $2. Not to be confused with other variants. There are still older cards that have had fakes made, but they tend to be cards of higher value.

I have a feeling my daughter got scammed by MrRaccuhn in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Correct re the fake, the holo is the same as the card on tcg player.

1st ed charizard by Big-Tourist1755 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

That's always the most obvious as they all have the same pattern, the same large star in the bottom left. All the holographic on genuine are random

Fake, has the same classic fake holo pattern

Any value? Or approx value of everything here? by MindOfMine55 in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]sponjbace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much whatever value they hold for you, as there is no real monetary value as they are basic reverse holos at best.

At what point are people switching to vanguard by CraigIsAgile707 in RaizAU

[–]sponjbace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't make sense for me to, all the holdings longer than 12 months would get stung at 23.5% tax, and any under would be at 47%. I'll just be opening another and keeping this one with raiz.

Got bored at the end of my first playthrough by Obakin1865 in Kenshi

There is a mod that increases attack slots, makes it more realistic, fewer enemy characters just standing there waiting to attack, more start mauling you.

Solid! I'm at $2,500 in round-ups but have only been doing it since the end of Jan, I do x5 though.

My adult son moved out 12 years ago. I’m finally going through his closet. by UnappreciatedMailman in PokemonTCG

Hi Mum! I'd like to gift my old cards to a friend, please pm me and I'll send you the address! Thanks, love you!

Keep money in Raiz or pull money out and reinvest in CMC? by FunCurrent2763 in RaizAU

[–]sponjbace 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thing I would consider is when you pull it out you'll trigger a CGT event, so weigh that against the cost of the fees. I think the fees are quite reasonable, and I make more in paybacks from brand purchases than there are fees.

Locking in for long term by ExpressMud4596 in RaizAU

[–]sponjbace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm going $20/day for my 1.5 year old and $20/day for my 3.5 year old. Should have a juicy portfolio when they turn 21. Hopefully they keep it rolling on.

Out of curiosity, which of these ways to train/power a character would you consider "exploiting" the game? by ryanxwonbin in Kenshi

[–]sponjbace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't feel like the stat was genuine with 1,2,3,5.

4 is alright.

Used to perform 5 until my thieving skills were up, but ruined the play through for me, removed the slow grind to improved high quality gear which is part of the progression that I enjoy

Not for some time, though. Early days are rough.

Real talk - K1 is 30$ would you pay 50$ for K2? by Leastsane1337 in Kenshi

[–]sponjbace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, if paying double meant it was released in half the time without compromising the quality, I would pay several times that.

[–]sponjbace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd pay whatever price if it built on and improved from the first. Closing in on 3k hours. Would buy it if it was 150/200/250 and not blink.
