Just got my Beckett submission of one card back yesterday. This card has had a bit of a journey

I think I was called “bro” another 5 times this week, can’t stand it.
Don’t know what “fam” is.
I found a new way of reacting on the “bro” callers. Most time it’s about "he Bro, I offer this for your PSA9 …
I now answer: Hi Sis, for that money you better look for a PSA8.

Yeah I think the lingo is just a side-effect of the new types of buyers entering the market from the sneaker-NFT-crypto etc world where everyone has to do the Hey Arnold handshake before discussing the details of a sale

I’ve never said anything to buyers or sellers if they use that lingo, but I do subconsciously act differently and from time to time offer more money to the ones who dont.

Why is this frowned upon? don’t both seller and buyer both save money?

you are forgetting about the poor ol ebay

they work tirelessly to implement new features for us, handle our disputes and make selling easy

The last of my three $15 special subs - this time all Japanese YGO (OCG).
Collecting vintage Yu-Gi-Oh has been a fun and relatively inexpensive diversion from Pokemon for me. I encourage anyone who has any nostalgia for that time to do some digging into the OCG for themselves.

My longest outstanding Ludkins sub got back last night :sob: All cards I bought back in mid-2020 and sent to Ludkins in December so it’s been 2 years since I’ve seen these cards.
Mostly Japanese pokemon, specifically Neo holos and Promos (player’s club, victory medals, etc). Managed to scratch a lot of cards off my PC list with this one - better late than never.

Alright so this return is cute as hell (love the Polish World Pika), but there’s a SALEM card? That one gave me whiplash

Also what’s the story with that hand-drawn “STAFF” Pikachu?

Salem is now POP 1 !!! Big sadness it didn’t get the 10

The world pika set is one of my faves, happy to have a near complete 10 set now

Here is the origin of the STAFF pikachu. I had a stamp set laying around and the card while reading that thread and a meme was born

Speaking of the World collection, is the blue or green version more rare? I know the green was a 7-11 exclusive, but if I could only get one which would I want?

Green is much harder to find

That post PWCC’d my computer. Much better than scrolling through 24 Charizard Vs, though

Pleasantly surprised with this submission, the Base 2 Venusaur was definitely unexpected. The best part was no upcharges!

Makes me wonder if I can get away with submitting some Charizards in the $15 dollar special. :sweat_smile:
