  1. There's multiple factors at play. First is no, it's not an average of the 4. They are weighed differently, don't remember off hand which are higher and lower. Another is if 2 sub grades are the same, the lowest one will be the final grade. So say you have a 9 - 9 - 2 - 2, the final grade WILL be 2, regardless of the 9s. Last I can remember is the highest final grade can only be 1 point higher than it's lowest grade. So if you have a 1 - 9 - 9 - 9, this card will have a final grade of 2. Hope this helps.
  2. Completely walk away and come back to it in a month and repeat till you receive cards. What you're doing now is the same as staring at the clock and waiting for an undetermined time to arrive. Stop staring at the clock
  3. I found through Trial and Error(mostly Error) how annoying this could be. BTW, the average wait time to talk to paypal is 1.5 hours -.-* I also learned how to talk to ebay customer service in under 2 mins Ultimately, if you can get another paypal account up(without doing anything against TOS) that really helps alot. Also, do NOT try to checkout with more than 1 seller. That almost completely destroyed the Ebay account and it's still giving me issues weeks later. It's got a name called "multi-seller glitch." Granted when I did it there was like 5-10 sellers each time but that seriously messed things up. Best thing to do is schedule out payments. I ended up having to wait upto 48hrs to pay auctions cause at least those were locked in. The buy now stuff just had to come first. Toward the end of the campaign I started to see a massive increase in my cart losing items from other people noticing what I was doing and buying it up as well.
  4. I fear it's the explaining part that upsets her the most. I feel the less she knows, the happier she will be Btw I live not so far from this store lol. Funny part? I know there's a Walmart with likely twice as many of these 10 mins away I might pay a visit tomorrow
  5. Thank You! They went up alot. There's some other super great finds elsewhere. If the wife wouldn't kill me, I'd pull the trigger on like 4 cases of what I am eying right now. Aaaaargh.... I got away with the cereal cause she don't really pay attention to that. But she would definitely flip out if I spent $2,500 more. Argh..
  6. Luckily there's a whole community dedicated to collecting cereal boxes and read up on what to do. Apparently it's important to do something about the cereal itself due to bugs. I can cut into the box from the bottom and remove the cereal and then I either have some kind of dedicated refrigerator just to keeping the cereal bags cool and thus no bugs or get rid of the cereal(likely donate or give away). I am likely to get rid of the cereal since I don't really like things with this much sugar =/
  7. Yeah I looked it up but pulled the trigger for the box itself. Debating on taking the cereal out or not Not sure how to open the box without hurting it.
  8. Damn, right as I left they just happen to ran out of every single one
  9. Well I know what my kids gonna have for breakfast for the next... well we'll find out later today lol.
  10. Here's what I picked up on the way that's come in so far: One with a crimp misprint, super nice. Stonks! 5 Nintedo Mews, some lily pad and frame shift promo. Some southern islands I found for cheap. Notice top vile has line misprint, nice. Awesome Chari that's still going for super cheap if you get 20. I so want to pickup 90 more... Some CoroCoro Jynx I found for DIRT cheap and couldn't pass up. 76 Sealed 2021 Lunar pikachu red envelopes with packs. The empty envelope is going for twice what I paid for these lol. Some of my 10 cards that came in. Still waiting on others. A lot auction of stuff I won for like $15 I think. Good find. Some Japanese promos I picked up and English stuff too. Part of my next 500 card set I am making. Will share this coming week and so much more! 55 Mystery Packs And Mystery Box And I think that's most of what I received thus far. There's so much more I am waiting on
  11. Close! I also wouldn't really recommend those cards, at least in the hundreds . Namely, you got the decimal point wrong 1 spot, those cards are like $35.00 I don't have any or have any plans currently to. Maybe they can be something? Personally, I think I caught a way bigger fish. Funny part? After spending my bait(funds), I find the same fish in bigger and for less bait O well, just gatta be happy with what I got, can't be too greedy afterall.
  12. Here is April 2nd of what's come in for my "2020s" collection. Man, 13 Misty's Tears sure did turn into something else
  13. Next week I'm gonna share 250(or 500, haven't decided) cards I plan to have Sub Grades that I paid less than $3.50 each for and are 2021 cards Reason being I would rather get them graded valued at $3.50 each rather than well I doubt anyone would agree what they are gonna be worth in 25 years so I'll shhhhhhh about that part God, I'm gonna love the responses
  14. I am, patiently, excited for this. I don't think most people realize they are not likely to just slap on some search feature to their database. It's very likely the entire site is getting a complete overhaul, maybe from scratch even. I also suspect they are going to add features they do not wish to share about yet as well as place some foundation for the future such as a Mobile App. That takes ALOT of work. It's not that easy.
  15. I think Sub Grades matter ALOT. The only people who think Sub Grades don't are flippers cause it gives them a hard time. Things are sooooo much easier when it's just 1 overall grade, don't have to think about pricing as hard or compete as much. So whenever you hear someone who hates sub grades, it's cause they only care about the money.
  16. Try buying the dirt cheapest one you can find on ebay. That way you have the actual slab to work with and not really worry if you scratch up your good one figuring out fitment. Here's a couple for $30 shipped: $30 CGC Ebay $30 CGC Ebay 2 Or just search, you'll find something not too expensive.
  17. Gotcha, kinda hard to tell when you're not in the know. You're meme library just overpowers me It's about figuring out who gets them now and who gets them later and the laters will always complain no matter how fair the choice becomes. Not sure what Bias can come from a random lottery unless people claim conspiracy and I don't see why anyone should even pay attention to those. Well, wonder what other ideas anyone has to not off the laters too much
  18. What's so bad about it? No matter what, we're talking how to figure out who gets to have their cards graded now and who gets them later. Random lottery seems the fairest. Also, it would be lotteries for each tier of service. Not suggesting to get rid of those, just lottery out the spots for each one.
  19. Submission Lottery would be my idea. Every X weeks or month(s), people will sign up with how many submissions they would like to do. Computer does a lottery and sends out confirmation to all people who signed up. Placement is locked when payment is made within 24-48hrs to lock in their spots. It won't be a problem to pay upfront because it'll be controlled how many can come in, thus wait times can be more predictable.
  20. Honestly, I just call em Banned cause people are more likely to understand(or so I thought) what it means. I think censored doesn't exactly work cause it's not like it's blurred out. To be fair, Banned doesn't either cause they were never "banned" from anything. Ultimately, I don't care what the term is called to describe what these cards are. Currently, everyone who knows about them call them Banned Cards. It's what it was called 20 years ago too so wtvr.
  21. No one listen to a thing I said, no way Japan changed cards. It's all a conspiracy. I infact made these cards in my bathroom and spread decades of misinformation. THESE CARDS ARE NOT REAL
  22. You are 100% right! It is completely normal to have hentai in a children's game card. While I am at it am going to make a time machine and listen to the 20 years younger you advice of not getting a single item in my 13 year old me collection. I tried, I give up.
