Looks like Pokémon POP Series was just added. Also, there's now a section for HeartGold & SoulSilver, but no set types yet.

Here are a few cards I noticed were missing from some set types. I did not see a place where we can report them on the site (maybe I missed it somewhere?). This is by no means an exhaustive list - this is just what I happened to notice:

The MTG creature type registry options are also bizarre. You have registry options for tribes like efreets, atogs, dauthi, riggers, and scorpions, but don't have registry support for angels, demons, dragons, goblins, elves, etc. Just bizarre.

Looking at the creature set types, they all have less than 35 slots, which might be why those were chosen and not say... humans, which would have close to 3,000 slots or something ridiculous. I can see why they would do that at launch, but it also makes it look incredibly unpopular as they are not the most popular creatures (as of right now, there's only 1 set in all of Creatures, with 1 card  ).

I also noticed a TON of cards in the Artist Series category don't have scores assigned to them, and there are sets with cards sitting at zero points.

I hope we'll get more MTG sets added soon. I think one got added right after launch, and nothing since? 

I personally prefer them without the subgrades. I wish they'd introduce some custom labels for trading cards, though.

Since these are the only Pokémon cards I own, this would be the only Pokémon set I could participate in 

Back from CGC today!

Crisis averted, arrived today!

Bruce Lee does look tempting!

That may be so, but it's not Bruce Lee

I parted with all my VHS tapes the last time I was in the poor house. Drove them all to Movie Trading Company and took what they gave me.

Most were $2 or less, with some less than $1. That's how those places are - give pennies, charge dollars.

However, they gave me $18 - eighteen frickin' dollars - for this, which makes me feel like I should regret it every time I think about it:

For me, I'd personally like to see the following supported by CGC:

• Corunea (2008-2010?) (Unsure when it was discontinued)
• The Spoils (2006-2016)
• Vs. System (2004-2009)

Some others of note not on The List™:

• Cardfight!! Vanguard (2010-Present)
• Dragon Ball Z/GT (2000-2017)
• Legend of the Five Rings (1995-2015)
• Raw Deal (2000-2007)

Corunea had some of the best artwork I've seen in a card game. I just wish it caught on. It was pretty complicated, though.

Additional suggestions from this thread and others:

• .hack//ENEMY (2003-2005)
• Battle Spirits (2009-2010 English, 2008-Present Japanese)
• Marvel Hero Battle (2019-Present)
• Precious Memories (2010-Present)
• Star Wars Destiny (2016-2019)
• WIXOSS (2014-Present)

Is there any service that grades/encapsulates miniatures (HeroClix, DnD, Warhammer 40k, etc.)?

What's next? Comics near EXPOSED ANKLES?

My Metroplex resto is complete. Picked up this yellowed Metro from a friend a few weeks ago. He’s a rubber tire version and in solid shape, so I thought he’d be worth saving.

For those who might be interested in process:

First step was disassembling, and some of those screws were tough to remove! Luckily I got him apart without breaking anything. Next, I gave all of the non-metallic parts a soapy soak overnight to loosen the old stickers. The next day, with the help of an exacto blade and some goo gone, I got the remaining stubborn stickers off. Then another soak and wipe down.

Then those parts got a peroxide and sunshine bath, while the rusty rods got a Coca Cola soak overnight. Then I filed the rust off of the rods, and soaked the plastic parts again to remove the peroxide.

The hardest part was waiting three weeks for new stickers to arrive from Toyhax! They arrived last week, and I finally had time to apply them last night!

And here he is! Missing the Six Gun body and chest. And the small laser pistols, but otherwise he’s all here and looking pretty close to new!

Wow! I need to learn how to do this with mine. I think he has all the parts except Scamper (he's been in storage for so long, no idea), but had an unfortunate accident and is no longer connected at the waist.

I have collections of comics, coins, trading cards (sports, non-sports, TCGs), music CDs, LEGO, miniatures... when I get bored of one thing, I bounce to the next.

Looks like it's fixed! Thanks 

Thanks dena! 

Hello!

I see that the Third Stage has Invasion - Saviors of Kamigawa, but Invasion is listed in the Second Stage.

(Also, there are a ton of missing sets. I know we're supposed to be requesting adds, but these are core sets. For example, you have Mirage - Prophecy as the Second Stage set range, but neither set is present.)

Could you please swap this announcement with the Uno grading one? I'd rather this be an April Fool's joke and the other be the official announcement.

Thanks in advance!
