My collection!

My mom donated all my cards when I was 11. That was 18 years ago and I decided to get back in to collecting during Covid. I have been going a little crazy this year so I wanted to post my collection !

Keep stripping crank arm where it connects to the bike. ? Do I need beefier crank arms or are they stripping because I didn’t tighten them fully before a ride?

Do I need to tighten these (with a torque wrench which I don’t have) before every ride? I’ve ridden this bike probably 30 times and this is the second time I’ve stripped a crank arm. I don’t want to make it worse if I can fix it with loc tite or something, but this is really frustrating. The first time REI Gave me a new set of crank arms for free because it “shouldn’t have stripped that quickly” but now here I am again another 3 weeks later and it’s stripping again.

I don’t think I can physically crank it hard enough with my Allen key set, is a torque wrench the only way to prevent this and can lock tite fix it?

Four cards I got today, did I overpay?

Pidgeot was $75 flareon was $160, dragonite was $55, pichu was $40.

The holos are pretty scratched, the pidgeot has a corner that’s completely split. I saw the holo scratches at the shop but didn’t realize the condition on the corner of the pidgeot was so rough.
Condition stated was nm for the dragonite, LP for all the others. I think the pidgeot should have been considered damaged.
Overall very happy with them, these are my first 1st ed cards prettty much.

Demanding access to UPS store security footage- employee stole my property

Hello, I am in WA. I was accused of lying by a UPS employee who I believe took the contents of a package I was attempting to ship. I dropped the package off with him and he saw the internal contents and I asked him to help me seal the box better and he said “it’s all good.” He is claiming to not remember any of this interaction.

The “owner” or manager of this location (38th street in Tacoma, WA) is on vacation. I was told I can’t file a claim, and I was told I can’t get security footage. The police arrived today with me to question the employee who I witnessed with the property IN his pocket 2 days ago.

My package went missing from their store on the 19th of this month.

All employees have said that there is nothing they can do to help with security footage and the owner is not responding to my emails.

Someone, PLEASE help. This is a felony charge for over $1000 and it needs to be investigated.

iPhone 17 pro max went missing after handing to UPS employee (WA)

I handed my iPhone 17 pro max in a box to a UPS store employee. They are refusing to share surveillance video with me to determine what happened after.

I filed a police report and I’m attempting to get an officer on scene. Yesterday I went to the UPS store to try to get an update on tracking but they said I never dropped it off and accused me of lying.
I then saw the iPhone in the pocket of the employee, and came back today and he had a different iPhone. I could clearly tell that it was a blue iPhone 17 pro max. Today I came back and asked if he would be willing to show me the IMEI on the iPhone he had and he pulled out a different phone.

It’s all circumstantial but I am almost certain that this is what happened. I really need help as this theft is over $1000 and I have absolutely no proof that he took the box from me, other than security footage I can’t get access to.

PLEASE HELP!

Very excited specifically about how many cables are on the top of the desk while still having it look somewhat clean. Lol

This is my custom desk with a tabletop from an old Amazon desk on 2X4 off cut sliding risers.

It’s literally a folding table with a spandex table cover that goes over the feet. And two random pieces of wood I found, that had drawer slides put in them, and an old L desk top from Amazon from my previous desk.

I have a few goals for today. I want to move my midi keyboard to the. Ottoman tier which will look worse. But it also needs to be all the way to the right side. My laptop sadly goes right in front of it, I don’t want a dock, because if I get a dock I will want another monitor. I could fit two monitors between the speakers but not of the same size, I used to have a smaller one and it looked alright.

Basically, as it is here, I can use the midi keyboard but I have to awkwardly move around my laptop screen. It’s clunky.
Sadly, my desk I think looks best like this (I didn’t clean it for this picture. Sorry lol) but I think I can deal with increased functionality vs. aesthetics.

The Rokit speakers are mounted to clamp stands.
