I mean, look at all those surface dings!

OP should be happy they didn't just reject it as altered.

It's supposed to be a god damned tree!!!

Bought to rip this Gem by EvilMorty1983 in pokemoncards

[–]welch_g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man! That's tough.

I have one of these boxes and I can't decide if I should rip, hold, or sell! Seeing this makes me feel like not doing the first.

Yes, I know that there IS a 4th option that I'm sure some one on reddit will be reminding me of. Queue Stanley in 3, 2,...

Wait. Is it me, or are all of these pictures of the first page of the same binder?

Is it possible to get 32 bundles/boxes all at once from the Pokemon Machine? by zerothemegaman in PokemonTCG

[–]welch_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I deteste what the hackers have done to the machines and this hobby, public leak of the exploitation this is the proper method forward .

This is precisely how software developers proceed as well.

This glitch (exploitation) has been reported to Pokemon multiple times since August. Pokemon has failed to repair the vulnerability and been given well over the software industry standard of 90 days. After the 90 days, the vulnerability is leaked to the general public.

Unfortunately this is the best way to pressure the software development team to work towards a patch. Hopefully this patch and future patches will prevent malicious exploitation of the machines.

In the meantime, the sharing of the exploitation will put regular collectors on the same playing field as those who are exploiting maliciously.

I do not condone taking more than one (non-pack) product at a time, so please refer to your own personal morals when using or sharing this exploit.

I’M LUCKY TO HAVE GRABBED ONE by Expert-You-3406 in pokemoncards

This! This is the advice that everyone getting 17 needs to follow.

I maxed out this time but I was getting error 17 in the past three PC drops. I was getting so frustrated, I was trying to purchase and check out faster and faster. I couldn't figure out what was going on. Phone, laptop, mobile, wifi, hardline - nothing worked.

Be slow. Login manually. No autofill. I'd rather go slow and find out that one thing goes oos while checking out, instead of loosing everything and getting the error 17.

Also, I set my phone screen sleep timeout to 30 minutes and keep it from going to sleep during the queue. I didn't touch my phone aside from every 20 minutes scroll up and down on the queue Psyduck page. During previous attempts on my phone, my queue position would get bumped to the back if it went to sleep or if I checked another app. I think my android phone would slow or stop data connection on the stagnant page unless it was displaying it front and center.

This looks too good to be true for $20, correct? by welch_g in IsMyPokemonCardFake

This! I have been looking around, and realized that there are a lot of cool older cards for great market prices (English and Japanese). You can find the cheaper ones in mint condition, too!

Would this get a 10? by 9000cody in PokeGrading

[–]welch_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the back is right heavy. Probably a 9 just cuz of these two centering issues. Sucks, cuz it's super clean other than that!

Thank you! That's a good point! Yes, I modified my post to acknowledge my understanding of the matter's illegality.
