Dont be a stranger! Good luck with everything!

[fourthstartcg]

Very sad to see you leave collecting, but its amazing to see everything you’ve done. Hopefully I can win a few of your cards and give them a good home.

Just a fun fact, you sold me my first ever PSA graded card (a Delta Species Salamence holo, PSA 9). Without that sale I wouldn’t be the collector I am today. Thank you and best of luck in the future

Great way to disguise a sell thread

Best of luck with everything! Hope you get your dream car. Mines a Toyota Supra inspired by original fast and furious when it used to be good

haha. that did occur to me, but something this massive doesn’t need much help here.

I hope so too. The biggest thing for me will be debt free for grad school so i can take on even more debt hahaha.

[Fireftw_TCG]

Don’t worry nothing like a good bit of debt to keep you on your toes! I’m currently just ignoring my student loans until the government tells me I have to pay it,but they have their hands full with brexit right now.

Sounds like you’re making moves for all the right reasons mate. Nobody could possible fault you for getting your priorities in order. I wish you all the best with the sales, and more importantly (as money comes and goes), best of luck cracking on with life in general.

We’re going to miss you around here, but it’s nice to hear you will eventually be back. In the meantime, you are pursuing a truly noble career. Wishing you all the best!

[jjnoriega]

Didn’t know you too well but this a touching story man. I do wish you the best with everything, especially with that upcoming graduation in a year! The world goes around many times so I hope to see you back soon!!! Who knows, maybe you’ll come back to the hobby in a few years stronger than ever .

Hello, Sir. I don’t know you, and am not sure if I have seen many of your posts, but I can relate to chronic injury (and problems popping up in other places due to it) and the feelings of loss of self and mental health difficulties that comes with it. It takes a strong person to come through at the end of it. It’s a shame that you have to part with your collection, but these things have to happen sometimes. I wish you all the best.

All the best

Sad to see you go, as many have said your collection was stunning and has helped us a lot on our collecting journeys. We wish you the best of luck for the future, and we hope to see you back here again.

[pokemonsyndicate]

I just wanted to say, that I will miss you, and argueing with you.

Also, Just know the synd is proud of you… Because you literally graded every single ex engrish card in psa 10… You did this your self. There is not a single person that will ever grade the entire ex set themselves in 10. If there is, then erm… I dont think there will be, and I dont believe you and you were the first, so yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Now… I also Want to say… The amount of salt it takes to grade engrish cards is estimated to start in the 100dreds of tons… BUt TO GRADE THE ENTIRE EX SERIES… Well hisoka. Again… There would not be enough a-salt rifles on the planet and ammunition to cover the salt involved.

And thats the thing… The japanese ones are difficult enough. But once you told me the engrish have quanitity in the ex series, but not the quality. The ex japanese have alot of them damaged, but if there found mint they have the quality.
It was one of the biggest arguements/turning points in pokemoon history for me… I just want you to know, when you say tingz, they always question my beliefs. Thats hard to take for human at first, but laterb on a realization starts to happen.

You will be back to complete the ex series again. Just like i traded off my entire ex series collection and gold stars for no rarity charizard… I got them back in 1 auction. You will be back to do it again… THIS IS NOT OVER.

bye hisokerb

@smpratte

Good Luck Mike! Glad you took the time to share this publicly. Also sounds like PWCC was the best route. They are set up for exactly what you need, and I think you will get a good return.

Hopefully years later, when you have achieved your goals, you google “pokemon cards”, and google says "did you mean log into efour, and get back in the game! ".

Good luck man, feel free to pop in whenever!

Thank you. I really appreciate it.i believe it was the best route but it could have been better with it broken up.

I’m sure I’ll log in occasionally. Seeing the cards for sale on PWCC was more sad than happy. I know it’s what I wanted to do but finally seeing them go was bitter, bitter Sweet. Lol

@KingPokemon

A 1968 Corvette? Loved the grill on those. I was 14 when they came out;)

As you know, e4 is a community of friendship with a common bond…Pokemon. Its members may have large or small collections but the emotions are 100% the same. Regardless of where your collection stands you are still a friend and staying in touch is kinda an obligation:)
So keep us all abreast of your progress with your career goals but keep in mind, life is simply something that happens while we stockpile memories, and there’s a lot of those packed into the last 5 years.
Love ya man…

I love those grills as well. It’s something I’ve wanted for 15 years. I really hope these auctions do well to make buying the car much easier. I will do my best to keep you all updated. Definitely a lot of memories. Whenever​ I’m feeling nostalgic I can go watch my videos to remember what it felt like. Thank you Gary. I enjoyed our conversations and your advice helped me a lot with PSA.

good luck. I have w feeling a lot will go over $100 and several dozen ex will go over $200. Last night TMTA suicune went up to $207.

@hisoka107 how do they handle non payers? Same fees to you they just relist it a week later? Any time I have thrown up 100+ auctions ending in one day, I usually see at least 5% non payers. It is so frustrating as I am usually trying to clear space or free up cash. In this instance of ~500 auctions if you see the same rate will unfortunately be around 25 items, though PWCC may have requirements set up or other forces acting that keep their non payers much lower.

I don’t know. I imagine they’ll do a second chance offer first then auction it off on the next non sports block.
