Hello! I’m kind of new to cleaning retro game cards, this one was in a sleeve and the sleeve has deteriorated a bit over time and left some residue. There’s also a sticker on it I would like to remove. Any help on how to do this without ruining the cartridge would be appreciated!
Hey everyone! I figured here would be the best place for this, I wanted to get a “set” of Gengar evolution line cards, so currently I have these 4, I am thinking I want to replace the Haunter, since the gastly is regular non holo, the Gengar is full art (? Ish) and the mega Gengar is an SIR, I was thinking a cool reverse holo Haunter would round out the set, caveats are must be Japanese and preferably from a 2005 set. If anyone could give me a suggestion that would be great.
TLDR:looking to replace this Haunter in this evolution line set with a reverse holo Japanese Haunter from 2005, any help or suggestion appreciated!
What’s everyone’s thoughts on mangas as long term buys right now?
My main concern is, would Japanese mangas increase in value over time? I am buying for my collection, and so I don’t care if it does up or down in the short term, but I also don’t want to spend thousands on a graded card that will likely lose value over the years.
My secondary concern is, does a Beckett 9.5 and a PSA 10, reflect the same quality of the card for the most part? I love the Beckett label look for the mangas, but 10’s are more than a PSA 10 and 9.5’s are a small discount from PSA 10’s.
Anyone have any tips to get this leather watch strap off my Tsuki-Yomi without ruining it or scratching the hell out of the inside of the plugs?
So I bought this Tsuku-Yomi A-T about 3 months ago, and it’s my weekend watch. I’ve been skeptical/scared of the titanium so far so I’ve babied it more than my others with stainless steel cases. Until I got to work this morning, and the wind caught the metal door to the office as I was coming in the building and banged the watch as I went through. However the result (shown) was a small 1/8 inch scratch on the edge, and I’m convinced if it wasn’t on the edge I wouldn’t even be able to see it. It was hard to even photograph. Wow this changed my whole outlook on titanium!
TLDR: Titanium case is stronger than I thought, banged the watch on the door and this was the result (shown).
