Just got back from Ireland. How did I do?

Just returned from a fantastic two week trip in Ireland. I only had room for three bottles and it was so hard to choose what to bring back to the states. I had The Irishman 17 in hand but an employee recommended I grab Redbreast Cuatro Barriles instead as it’s a Dublin/Cork exclusive. I already picked up a CS Redbreast 10 at Midleton earlier so was hoping to try something a little different but I also didn’t want to miss out since I don’t know when I’ll be back. Did I make a mistake passing on Irishman 17?

I’m still thinking about the Redacted Dingle/Dick Mack’s 11yo Sauternes I had while at the pub. Wish I could have picked one of those up to bring back. Love Ireland, can’t wait to come back

Any baseball fans here?

Went to the Baltimore Orioles x Pokemon GO night game this week. Did a bunch of raids, no shiny. Game ended and I walked over to the last gym with an active raid as people were filtering out. Stoked to finally pick up my shiny Camden Yards Pikachu at the last minute

Why did this get an 8? Any tips for pre-grading?

Have two DRI Mewtwo SIRs that I'm getting graded. First one just came back today and it got an 8. Grader notes say "Both Left Corners" without any other clarification. What am I not seeing? Should I just crack it and keep it raw? Debating on sending my other one in, multiple people looked at them and said to send both in as they look like they both have a shot at a 10.

After getting repeatedly cooked on DRI, I finally pulled the Mewtwo a couple weeks back from a Poké Ball tin. I started a PSA submission which I will be dropping off in a couple weeks. Last Friday, I grabbed a single DR blister from a VM and pulled yet another Mewtwo. This one also looks clean. Since I haven't dropped off to PSA yet, I was wondering if I could get an opinion on which one to submit.

No. 1 is the first one I pulled a couple weeks back from the tin, and No.2 is from the single blister pack from last Friday. I'm hoping to grade the best one and use the other to trade for other chases I'm looking for.
