Hi everyone.
I’ve come across this gull on campus who clearly has an injured foot. I’m not sure what I can do, if anything. Is there anyone I can call at all? I’m not anywhere near my house so I can’t take it back or catch it but I would feel awful to just leave it.
Hi all,
I'm been trying to keep track of my Pikachu 151 Chinese exclusive cards which I've seen skyrocketing in value for the raw cards. When I check the recently sold raw listings they're really high and are all coming back as CCIC graded.
I know before the Chinese exclusive boom the APH and the like graded cards were basically sold for raw value but that absolutely is no longer the case for the CCIC graded versions.
Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone know if Collectr plan to move CCIC graded cards out of the ungraded pricing calculations?
Just saw this in there and thought I would share. As long as you don’t mind the box being a little beat up this is a great deal, especially as the price will increase soon.
I want to stress I didn’t buy this! I already have one haha. I just wanted to share in case anyone in the area was thinking of getting one.
So, I have a Switch with a large library of games, mainly first party as that’s pretty much all I use my Switch for.
Now, there isn’t actually anything on the Switch 2 that I’m particularly interested in playing right now. I would, however, be very interested in a new 3D Mario game whenever that comes out.
My question is, in light of all the console price rises, is now the best time to buy a Switch 2? Even if there isn’t anything in particular I want to play on it. Is it still worth buying to get ahead of any price increase?
EDIT: In light of all these comments, you guys convinced me. I literally just picked up a Switch 2 and I also ended up getting Donkey Kong as well. Thanks for everyone’s input!
Absolutely stoked about the results
I really think perfect order is an awesome set, I don’t understand the dislike in the broader community. Love these SIRs and can’t wait to display them on my wall.
I’m got a bunch I’ve picked up online and am now looking to send them to CGC, I’m just curious if anyone has done this before?
I’ve sent one slab to them before from an obscure British grading company but never these Chinese ones. Thanks for commenting
I bought this online, just got it through and noticed the scratches/damage in the corner.
Give it to me straight guys, like a pear cider made from 100% pear. Will the grade be totally crushed by this? I always grade with CGC and I guess I’m hoping they won’t completely bomb the grade due to this.

So this is after many many failed attempts of not getting anything at all. Since I figured these things out I've managed to get the last 3 PC ETBs.
I use two different devices on seperate connections - so my laptop on WIFI and my phone on 5G.
I'm pretty sure you can't use any browser with any plugins installed, I just use Edge (and it's the only thing I use Edge for, so it's a completely clean version).
Once you're in click around very slowly, maybe once every 5-10 seconds or something.
Never log in, I always use guest checkout and never autofill, I type out my details slowly each time.
As for payment, I tried AMEX, Tesco Mastercard credit card, First Direct mastercard, none of these work, the confirmation on the app on my phone either doesn't pop up, or it does but the website window times out. The only card for me that works is my debit visa card with Nationwide for some reason. I also confirm it on the app and it works fine to update on the browser.
That's basically all I do, I had luck with Ascended Heroes, Choas Rising, and Pitch Black yesterday. I just thought I would share in case it helps anyone out.
I recently got this card back from CGC. I’ve sent a lot of cards to them for grading, and I remember thinking this was possibly the cleanest card I’ve ever submitted. Now I’m wondering whether it might even be black‑label worthy.
I’ve never sent anything to BGS before, so I’d really appreciate it if anyone can spot something obvious that would prevent it, something I might be missing.
Thanks for looking
So I sent a package yesterday special delivery by 1pm service. Tracking said that it wasn’t delivered when I checked at 1pm, then again at 1:30. I checked again at 1:45 and it said it was finally delivered, however the time on the tracking history says it was delivered at 11:06.
Is that common? I’ve never known Royal Mail online tracking to not update basically straight away when a package is delivered.
So this is the CGC UK website - where you submit your cards at the London office and they send them to the states for grading.
How is it possible that all the tiers have the exact same turnaround times? So there is no actual difference between each of these "services" it's just done on the value of the card.
It's really weird because this isn't the case if you go on the CGC US site which has different turnaround times for each of the tiers, as you'd expect.
Pulled this right after uploading the Mega Lucario photos yesterday.
I’m thinking it looks really clean but not 100% sure.
I typically grade with CGC so would be looking for a pristine 10 grade with them.
Thanks for taking a look!

My initial thoughts were that it’s pretty clean.
what do you guys think?
It looks good to my eyes!
Although, I’ve been somewhat hit and miss lately with my submissions.
What do you all think?
Thanks
It looks good to me!
I‘ve had a pretty high success rate recently with submissions that I thought were pristine 10s.
I’m not sure with this one.
Thanks!
So, on my walk into work, I go past a Blackwell's book store. I know they stock Pokemon and had a bit of luck last week on release day for the AH booster boxes. Each day I peak in as the till is right next to the front door and you can easily see and Pokemon cards they have in stock from outside.
So yesterday morning, I walked past at about 9 am. The door was closed but I could see the guy inside (seemed like in his early 20s) beind the till swapping a big box of the Perfect Order 3-pack blisters, I thought he was putting price tags on them or something. I did think, oh cool, they have blisters so I'll pop down in a bit and grab a few - the store has purchase limits and PO isn't the hottest set. I went back about 2 hours later and there was nothing there, I thought they may not have put them out yet. I went back again at 3:30 and it was still the same. I walked past this morning as usual and still nothing there.
I'm now thinking that they don't actually put price labels on their products (especially the pokemon) and he was most likely just scanning them and buying all of the inventory they had in stock before opening.
Question is, do I go into the store and ask about it? Potentially mention that I saw an employee doing that? Or should I just leave it?
Hi all,
I made a claim as my next day by 1 pm parcel was delivered quite a while after 1 pm. I followed the claim form online and today they replied saying it was successful and “we’ll be issuing a payment shortly in recognition of this service failure”.
I posted the item at a Post Office and paid on my card, so the question is, how will they refund me? I didn’t give them my card details on the claim form. Will they be able to match it to the transaction I made in store and refund it onto that card? Does anyone else have any experience of this?
Thanks
