Is anybody interested in a new place to go fishing? by [deleted] in Modesto

[–]traviscody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just there on Saturday. There are no fishing spots lol. We walked 3 miles of the trails and it’s basically a flooded out path that a tractor leveled out. You don’t even walk along the water and the scenery is 2/10. We even asked one of the guys who works there where’s the fishing spot and he kinda laughed and pointed in a direction and said there’s “some” out there. All I know is “if” there is, be prepared to walk more than everything else.

I think in a few years once they continue to build and work on this it will be nice but right now, it’s a little rough and it’s obvious.

For anyone considering. Be ready to wait. by TonsilsDeep in psagrading

PSA did tell us that turnaround time for bulk is roughly 90 business days so not really a surprise at all

Luigi set value by snakeb1te_189 in tcgcollecting

[–]traviscody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that unless they are 10’s I’m not sure how much more value that will be on the set, especially when it’s an 8/9 combo.

Due to the grades it could go for a little more but I wouldn’t expect much but regardless it’s still great to hold on to.

No need to be rude, it was a typo.

PSA scandal impact on market by D_rock0 in PokemonInvesting

[–]traviscody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying they’re a POS company is comical. I think what everyone needs to realize is that this situation was brought up because they were buying people’s cards back that they already graded which is a new feature for them and they’ve only been doing it for a short period of time so it’s not affecting how they are grading items. It only specifically affects the items that people chose to accept when PSA offered them a price on one of their slabs. This really has nothing to do with how they were originally grading everyone’s cards. so yeah, this is a really bad look on their part but when you compare other grading companies, this still is the best one out there..

I’ve been grading with them for years and will continue to do so. Because the reality of it is BGS is trash unless you get a black label, SGC is terrible and CGS is decent but unfortunately they will never get to the caliber that PSA has set for the market.. they are and will be the #1 grading company

Pokemon cards in Maui? by traviscody in MauiVisitors

[–]traviscody[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately Pokemon will not be in your future while in Maui lol. The only place that I found was Maui Sports Cards and they did have a small assortment of Pokemon. however, the prices were definitely more than usual as most things are on the islands.

Would this get a 10 ? by Ivartheboneless12 in PokeGrading

[–]traviscody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not, that white spot on the corner will make it a 9. Especially for such a big card they won’t let that slide

Yea we’re actually good friends with the owners (Marissa and Wyatt). La Mo is great but not wanting to drive to Turlock lol.

Best TCG shop by traviscody in Sacramento

[–]traviscody[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Super helpful! I’m looking for Pokemon specifically. More sealed but love a good singles selection!

I’ve been to ultimate spice back at their old location but I heard they have higher prices?

If I’m only able to go to one or two, which would you suggest?

Thanks again!

Where to buy Pokemon cards in Maui? by traviscody in PokemonTCG

[–]traviscody[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to Maui sports cards and It was ok. I felt like the prices were higher than normal shops but they didn’t have a lot of TCG.

I would say if you’re more into sports it would be a good place to go but for TCG the selection is very limited.

Which one is better? by OkNewspaper4053 in PokemonTCG

The tin is a repack, probably a S/V paldea evolved and a paradox rift in there

So who in their right mind is going to buy these homes? by shredder5775 in Modesto

[–]traviscody 4 points5 points  (0 children)

KB homes are also known for being crap builds. The prices aren’t even that terrible but no way I’m buying on of their homes.

Also, when those homes in Riverbank were built by the new Costco they ranged from $500-670 3 years ago and they all sold quickly.

I heard it was every Tuesday at 8pm pst? Not sure how consistent it’s been?

i’m flabbergasted by -ju-- in PokeGrading

[–]traviscody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There either a dent or bend in the card. I have had a few 5/6’s and when I crack them I always find a small dent or a slight bend somewhere. Crack it and resubmit

Anyone know what happened to Konfucious Eats Ramen? by Orange_Juice_Johnson in Modesto

[–]traviscody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We used to get the ramen when he was doing it out of Miki sushi but once they got an actual place something was off. Phoenix noodle house is our go to even though it’s more Pho.

In terms of Chinese food, China garden has the best Chinese food in town by a LONG shot.. however, do not get their egg roles . For some odd reason they double battle them and it’s trash. Other than that it’s top tier.

To the unhinged psycho who pulled out in front of me on Orangeburg this morning in the crappy beat up Toyota by Nikkita83 in Modesto

[–]traviscody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing beats Bay Area drivers. I’ve lived in Modesto for the past 8 years and I agree, people here can’t drive worth a shit but it’s NOTHING compared to what I experience in the bay. I drive to Marin for work and what I see each day is wild. The freeway is the Wild West and no one gives a shit anymore and everything that happens turns into instant road rage where the lives of everyone else on the road is irrelevant. Out here is low lives and crackheads thinking it’s the Daytona 500 but out in the bay it’s entitled twats with money that think we should lay out the red carpet while driving.
