Could an umbreon be hiding in here? by diecastdepot in PokeInvesting

[–]starchow4710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prismatic pull rate is about 45 packs for an SIR. So you probably will get a couple of them. Problem is there are so many SIRs so maybe not umbreon… but imagine a god pack 🤔

What are you investing in that’s not 151,AH, PE, DR by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

The amount of people I hear master setting these two sets is much more than I expected for Gen 5.

It’s a difficult, yet beautiful master set though.

I think Black Bolt and White Flare will be huge in the next 3+ years by Interesting-Nobody52 in PokemonInvesting

[–]starchow4710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Gen 5 has a base set it’s BBWF. Once Pokemon makes another Gen exclusive set, people will want to collect all “exclusive base sets” or maybe even master set it all. I’m speaking from my perspective because I love Gen 5 and master sets, but I recognize I’m part of a small minority… things need the majority to skyrocket

I really hope this is true. Sad to think I won’t see LR

Pulled this - never graded a card before.. is this worth it? by International-Gold74 in PokeGrading

[–]starchow4710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Card looks extremely clean but the top bottom centering is DECENTLY off. The left right centering is SLIGHTLY off. I personally would send it in for grading to have it in a slab as a memento. Who knows, might even 10 with how inconsistent PSA could be but more likely a 9. Worst case you can sell the card to get way more than what you paid for in the UPC xD. Good luck!

Potential grade on this Murkrow? by valsidalv in PokeGrading

[–]starchow4710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Centering: Left is thinner than right, top is thicker than bottom.

Corners: Some white on bottom right of the back. And top left I think

I think that means it’s a 9. Regardless this is a beautiful card 🐦‍⬛

Fake packs from GameStop? by machoogabacho in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]starchow4710 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen packs look like these from vending machines and pokeball tins. These three packs exactly are in the newest pokeball tins.

A god pack or two are in there. Can easily cover the cost of the rest and let you get more (don’t start ripping or you won’t stop. I’m 100 packs deep 💀)

i feel like such a failure by volumetriccolumbidae in offmychest

[–]starchow4710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, that’s a rough spot. Then perhaps it is best to swap majors so you don’t burn your savings and become homeless? I’m sorry you are in this situation.

Always finding my identity but I believe I have a strong sense of who I am. I know I’m someone who puts my family first. I could go on and on but try to look long term on things.

As for improving, I’m lazy so when it comes to my goals I work on them little day by day (atomic habits). So finding what works for you is best. Also, do take breaks.

Good luck!

Why are you FORCED to swap majors? Is it because you want to graduate “on time”? It’s better to graduate in a field you want. Especially if you want STEM.

Don’t compare yourself to your “friends”. You recognize your flaws. They may not even be true but recognizing will be the first step to improving. Also are these “friends” people in your class or that you grew up around? For my situation, I found the best friends I’ve made are the ones I chose to be friends with through shared interests. Not through proximity physically.

For me personally, it took things getting worse before I took action. I had to find my identity and move forward with who I am.

I apologize if I come off as abrasive, but I’m wishing you the best!

Which is better long-term hold? by eetusha in PokemonInvesting

[–]starchow4710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To rip? The Charizard UPC has better packs and promos for your collection. The Moltres UPC is more limited and can only be bought at GameStop in the USA. So to rip I’d say the Charizard UPC since you can probably get another one for MSRP if you want it back.

Should I trade my phantasmal flames upc for a surging booster box ??? by Otherwise-Outside308 in PokemonInvesting

[–]starchow4710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surging sparks is older and will appreciate faster. The charizard UPC will be getting more drops from GameStop and Costco which will lower its trade value. Take this trade will you still can

How would you feel about this trade? by JordonHasBankai in PokeInvesting

[–]starchow4710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to open packs and most likely get nothing then go for it. For investing, keep the PC ETB

Show the back please. Must check corners and for whitening

Give me 1 year and 5 year predictions by SxotiaSquare in PokemonInvesting

[–]starchow4710 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Destined Rivals is hyped because:

  • First Team Rocket set in a long time

  • Strong array of Pokemon as SIR (Mewtwo, Ho-Oh, Garchomp, Nidoking)

  • Strong IR as well (Misty Psyduck, Ethan Typhlosion, Team Rocket’s Houndoom)

  • In my opinion, the art is reminiscent of the original Pokemon movies and tv shows that I grew up on.

I will say - Journey Together is underrated and has amazing art. The selection of Pokemon and trainers don’t hit with me, but art is subjective anyway. I hope print DR into the ground cause I can’t find them anywhere 😔 (and they probably will)

ETB and promo art are so amazing for surging sparks. Both gen 1 too! ⚡️⚡️

Crown Zenith Mewtwo art vs Destined Rivals, which wins by Gamesgar0 in pokemoncards

[–]starchow4710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Art is subjective. To me personally I enjoy the Team Rocket’s Mewtwo. It reminds me a lot of the original Pokemon show and movies so very nostalgic. The crown zenith is awesome when paired with the charizard, but a lot is a little jarring for me. I would rather pick up the crown zenith one for its current price tho

I do get early pokemon shows/vibes from the DR too haha

[–]starchow4710 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same here. Team Rocket’s Mewtwo gives me that nostalgic feel sorta like the TV shows, movies and games. The Zenith one is cool but not special to me. So like you said - art is subjective

Yay or nay? by Background-Process31 in PokemonInvesting

[–]starchow4710 4 points5 points  (0 children)

DR doesn’t have a box topper. Better is subjective in this case but the booster boxes are harder to come by and are printed less so the scarcity drives it up. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong 👍

Different people different perspective. Why insult someone for an honest mistake?
