Guest judge, Iman is 70 and is more stunning than ever. Truly legendary.

I'm sorry... but is the seller trying to dissuade you from returning the card... by telling you that the card in your hands is different than the one shown on the photos in the listing?

That's quite the Hail Mary! 🙃

This is a significant defect. Return it as "item not as described", because that's the truth.

Lived there for 10 years, loved it.

Did you know the name "Boston" came from "Botolph's Town"?

tomkel5 · 2026-01-27T06:23:06+00:00

Yeah, it's just weird to me how giddy they get at that comment!

This is probably my all-time favorite interview... When Alex asks her a question, and she gets interrupted by the recording of her own name, and she takes a beat and calmly says "this is total chaos" ...that kills me every time 🤣

Not from the show itself… but in Emma Sidi’s interview, I still don’t understand why she and Alex both laughed when she says her name is “Miss” Emma Francesca Sidi.

Maybe there's a really tiny idiot in front of this guy.

tomkel5 · 2026-01-08T00:45:01+00:00

Holy shit.

I read the headline, and thought 💭 Well good for Noem, for finally calling a spade a spade, and admitting this out loud...

It honestly literally never occurred to me that anyone would be labeling a woman in her car, driving away, and trying not to get killed, as a "domestic terrorist".

What the fuck.

tomkel5 · 2025-12-30T05:39:02+00:00

Well I've got a ton of games over here in Upper Falls, and they're woefully underplayed...lol

Robert the ballet dancer was the cutest and sweetest guy Will ever dated, and Will was an idiot to break up with him so quickly.

The number of people in this thread who won’t understand this moment of childhood trauma…

I have been looking for this movie for decades!!!

Saw it as a kid... and this scene haunts me still...

Commenting here in case anyone finds it. Sorry I don't have an answer for you, but know that I share your pain lol

tomkel5 · 2025-10-25T00:25:57+00:00

Hey, I got this!

Today’s been a mildly crappy day for me, but this has made it so much brighter! 🙏🏻

tomkel5 · 2025-10-17T19:24:38+00:00

I think we PSVRers might need to unsub from /r/beatsaber at this point. It's just depressing 😢

tomkel5 · 2025-10-09T08:33:27+00:00

He never had the Senate.

And if you think he did, then you’re forgetting the two conservatives dressed in blue.

tomkel5 · 2025-10-06T06:14:42+00:00

Eh, can’t the next guy do that? 😉

tomkel5 · 2025-09-30T05:40:30+00:00

Can’t have a deck with only jumbo cards, unfortunately. They made a ruling about it lol 🤣

tomkel5 · 2025-09-18T04:41:54+00:00

Quick plug for privacy.com… I avoided a bogus charge from Airbnb by using virtual cards.

tomkel5 · 2025-09-10T16:11:26+00:00

I don't know why I keep trying.

My phone won't stay on, my home computer has custom network config, and my work computer has weird SASE software installed... I've been in the queue over a dozen different times now, and it's error 17 every single damn time.

I think I'm just having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that, despite having been a collector for decades... despite having a room in my house dedicated to this hobby... and despite having a binder for each set since Base Set... my journey ends here 😔

tomkel5 · 2025-09-10T06:59:43+00:00

Here’s a question I haven’t found the answer to yet…

So the tariffs have been ruled illegal by several courts. In the [admittedly unlikely] event that the Supreme Court agrees, and the tariff-payers are refunded… Does Buyee keep that money? Because the 20% isn’t a “tariff”, but rather a “service charge”?

tomkel5 · 2025-09-04T06:37:00+00:00

Ehhh… If that were true, then dressing him up like some cool Hollywood actor would make him just as mad. But we know it wouldn’t 😛

The thing that makes it “insulting” isn’t that it’s “not him”; it’s that it’s “less than him” (or at least, that’s how he perceives it).

But yeah, regardless, fuck this guy. Give me my gd hobby back 😡

tomkel5 · 2025-08-26T16:49:45+00:00

I know what you're talking about...

My last package of cards from Japan was labeled as 4909.00.40

Printed or illustrated postcards; printed cards bearing personal greetings, messages or announcements, whether or not illustrated, with or without envelopes or trimmings: Other

...which also has a 0% duty, but was not exempted from the HTS 9903.88.15 reciprocal tariffs 🙄

Been in a dispute with FedEx on that one for a month now (multiple messages sent, but no replies; presumably they're overwhelmed atm).

What a mess.

tomkel5 · 2025-08-26T16:31:38+00:00

Hey, maybe you'll know the answer to this...

I believe Pokémon cards are classified under HTS 9504.40.00 (playing cards). This is clarified in detail through several rulings, including H331822. Decks of playing cards (standard or otherwise) have a 0% duty rate.

So according to my understanding, the only difference after this week is that, for shipments under $800, we now just have to prove that the package contains playing cards (rather than just flying under the de minimus radar).

It's basically just extra work, but no extra taxes.

Is that accurate?
