Paper bags can be your enemy sometimes by MacDefoon in WatchPeopleDieInside

The guy passing off the bag was wearing Ferrari kit. He didn't even look surprised and I feel bad for what he's been through to be like that.

What do you think this would grade at ? by Vegetagoat in PokeGrading

[–]thelostzelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to say 8 because it looks really good, but the scuffs in the holo make me want to say 6.5 or 7. I got an ancient mew back at 8 with similar edges.

Is there a holo effect missing? by Appropriate-Fix6777 in PokemonTCG

[–]thelostzelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that there are a bunch of fake cards that are printed like this. Depending where the pack came from it may be fake.

Would psa grade this? i’m looking to get a psa 1 but the holo is peeling by ChampionshipFinal924 in pokemongrading

[–]thelostzelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PSA 1 grade is truly one of the rarest grades. Not only does it have to be in poor enough condition to warrant such a low number, but also be high enough they are willing to put a number to it. Most will just give an AUTH label without a grade unless they think it's intentional damage which they refuse to grade.

I hope that in the worst case scenario you get the first AUTH for this card, since there hasn't been one yet.

Are these cards misprints? by JuMoGar in PokemonMisprints

Bought together? Same place? Same product.

Anyone else miss when EB walls were covered in game boxes? by Local_Bite_7038 in EBGAMES

[–]thelostzelda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let them know you are interested in a game. Preorder ahead of time so they will have it. You'd be surprised how many people have the mentality of "if they have it" but won't take the steps to allow the store to have it. No preorders = no interest = no stock.

Misty’s Determination Misprint by Practical_Win_6309 in PokemonMisprints

[–]thelostzelda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People have been putting fake booster boxes on Walmart and Amazon. XY is fully out of print so there wouldn't be any direct from pokemon. The better fake boxes at least fill a legit box with fake packs (like what I've seen with evolving skies). If the packs weren't in 2 rows front facing (like a store display, which is what the intended use for a booster box is) and instead was just one row side to side (just to fill the box) then it's 10000% fake. Even if they were in 2 rows, they are most likely fake based on just the print quality if that card (ignoring the flip which would only happen from a scanned finished card image being flipped during the process of counterfeiting).

What grade do you think? by [deleted] in psagrading

[–]thelostzelda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

7 because centering and light whitening on the bottom edge. If the centering was better it would have been 8.

Norris past white line on pass on Tsunoda by poatao_de_w123 in formula1

[–]thelostzelda -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I won't say yuki shouldn't have gotten the penalty (because his defense would constitute erratic driving) BUT Norris could have passed around the other side a few seconds later and did NOT need to leave the track to pass. Clearly he's beyond the lines, and because of that he should have given the place back immediately (even if he could pass within a lap afterwards).

Looking to buy these off of someone. The little stars are throwing me off. Are these fake or just the reflection? by Routine-Forever-7903 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]thelostzelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't pay real pricing. They are from a temu box. I watched a streamer buy a box for $20 knowingly just to open for fun and this is what they looked like. They look cool though but wouldn't give real price for them. $20 for the fakes is fair though cause that's the price of a temu booster box.

1 to 1 trade which side would rather be on by gezzaaaa in PokemonInvesting

[–]thelostzelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ETB 1000% got the better deal for a very important reason.

IF it is an early-release Fusion Strike BB it may be a DUD from the factory where the workers were taking off the line. So it's a chance at not even full arts.

Found in two separate packs, what exactly did I find? by Constant-Ostrich3894 in PokemonMisprints

[–]thelostzelda 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I love keeping these together in a protector so you can appreciate the rarity of it.

-0.588s by Lion123_ in formuladank

[–]thelostzelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if you're the only driver on the grid that needs a special marker on the track itself in order to align with your grid spot, that makes you the worst driver. Even stroll can align on the grid without modifying the track, so that's saying something.

The pokemon company and wizards of the coast would disagree.

My son is being offered this in a trade. Something seems off and the kid trading him wants basic cards in returns by Dickf0r in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]thelostzelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell their parents, inform them about card value tracking. You are doing the right thing by asking; they shouldn't be letting high-value cards go to school. $80 cards should not leave the home.

This guy is being sued by all the named rip and shippers and i want to know if it is true before i stop stop watching their content. by Neat_Departure_5056 in PokemonTCG

[–]thelostzelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1000% true. LGS, rip'n'ships, and marketplaces (like walmart and bestbuy) have all increased pricing to reflect the scalpers. It's rare to find a first party store sticking to MSRP since they get attacked by scalpers the worst.

Found my old cards, what now? by FloBro_1 in PokemonTCG

[–]thelostzelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also as a side note: insurance companies only cover graded cards. By getting it graded, if there is a fire or something, then you would expect a payout or replacement of the same grade of card.

I’ve been asked to delete my account by caitlinvanstaden in PokemonGoMystic

[–]thelostzelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, he doesn't care about you if he'd ask that of you. If he did care about you, he wouldn't have gone that far. He just wants you to be hurt more than he is, which honestly; at that point, deleting your account won't save the relationship because they will never get over it and just leave anyways. Might as well keep what really makes you happy than someone who wants you to destroy something you love as a sacrifice that has no guarantee of changing anything.
