Curious to know what else other people can add, but i've been buying slabs since 2023 and this is what I've compiled in terms of things to look for or know beforehand given some mistakes and learning over the past few years:

• BGS Black Label 10 > CGC Pristine 10 > BGS 10 > PSA 10 > BGS 9.5 > CGC 10
• Always verify the card cert # first via the PSA app or CGC website
• Cards below cert number 60 million for PSA do not typically have a photo scan for them in the PSA app unless it gets re-shipped to the PSA vault to be scanned.
• Use the ebay filters to ensure card language and card grade is accurate
• Check to see in the PSA app the different versions of the card; many card promos get reprinted, and the promo that the card comes from really does make a difference in terms of price
• CGC does not make a difference when it comes to certain reprints- they label the card with 1 label. An example would be the Rayquaza #SWSH029 black star promo re-used in rebel clash and Sea & Sky. PSA on the other hand makes distinct labels per re-print.
• For some blue label CGC slabs, the QR code does not properly navigate to the new website because it directs you to comics and not cards. It does not mean the cert doesn't exist, but you must check by manually typing the number.
• Reverse Holo > Holo as a genreal rule. Reverse holos come with a stamp.
• know pre-release vs pre-lease staff vs pokemon center exclusive cards
• Shill bidding on ebay- as people have recently mentioned, the (XX) number next to people's name indicate how many sellers have provided feedback to that person. a 0 or very low number indicates a new account and most likely fake bids!

Let me know what else you fellow slab collectors have to mention!

Relatively new to CS and trying to get my hands on NG-SIEM. For those that have taken the instructor lead courses (the 8 hour ones), which courses were actually useful? My experience I'd say is between CCFA and CCSE certification

I've had roughly 3-6 months on the platform, but went on a hiatus to take care of some other things. I just feel like there is never ending modules in this platform...lol

Since 2023-24, getting product was pretty obtainable. But ever since prismatic has dropped, i have never seen it get this bad before. Given how easy slabs are to acquire and sell, I feel like slabs have begun to appeal me more. Now you're paying 4x more of MSRP for release on a product, which as an entry point is horrible for an investment.

Not to mention: exit plan. Alot of us here seem to not know when to exit or how to sell their stuff. With slabs, it's as simple as listing it via PSA vault or some other trust worthy ebay to take care of everything for you

Was this really neccesary to release? Feels like they're milking it at this point lol

Can someone give an easy to read, yet technical detailed (like a paragraph) explaining why CS EDR and MS Defender both can't be active AVs on a single end point?

So far I've had written that: it has to deal with Defender going into passive mode once another AV solution is detected, and that it's because they install kernel-level drivers. But beyond that, I am not sure how to explain it in detail.

Anyone here work at CS or is sysadmin and understands how it works at the technical aspect?

spending 2 weeks in new york with a group of 4 staying in chelsea. I did a ton of research; last time I went, I ate chinese and mexican food and I'm here to redeem myself this time around. Please let me know your thoughts.

I could use a little more spanish or italian spots recommendations; and maybe a good steakhouse or american spot. Pizza is pizza, so i'll stop by for a slice at bleekers st or something. Vegetarian friendly too please

For the snoopy promo, do they rip your boarding pass? I'm seeing videos where you only keep the small stub; I kind of wanted to keep it as a souvenir

As someone who played 95% AP, I've been playing AD to test it out and i lowkey see why people say AP is useless; obviously the major factor is landing your backstab to 1 shot opponents, but i've been able to snowball much better with AD.

Voltaic -> Glaive or Yommus (I like the extra speed with Q) -> Collector

Unless i'm against 2 tanks like a sejuani, I've been really liking the build so far; personally I always path top to bot regardles of comp and go blue pet.

Since it's a little too late for me to use Alaska Atmos points for a trip in 6 months, I was curious to know are there any other ways to optimize your purchase to either increase rewards or reduce cost of the ticket? Things like using a specific credit card, cashback, coupons, rewards, etc.

E.g an example would be buying the ticket through alaska airlines compared to starlux to get alaska miles, since cosmile miles won't serve me much use.

Seems like all the discount codes exclude december travel, but it was interesting to see that the Dodgers as their partner had a 15% discount code at some point. I was heavily considering on using 100k chase points to buy a seat to reduce my cost, but i feel it's not worth the risk with an international flight

I am thinking of visiting taipei to visit family for the snoopy promo and I’m debating between premium and regular economy. I was originally going to book economy until I read that you cannot even buy wifi with regular economy?

I am flying from SFO; any tips on where to or not to book? Going during christmas

also how was the wifi?

Edit: Looks like when u book premium economy is shows the price Per way...not the total round trip. What a dissapointment

I know someone who put 50k on france

I think im going to watch over him this weekend

apologies, 700k*

don't be like that idiot. Take your profits and cash out

vegas made quite some calls this week

I can't imagine the people who cashed out on Argentina ML in the 80th min too

Staying by the convention center downtown and i’m stuck between 3 options

Yama
UOBEI
Sugarfish

Specifically prefer just nigiri; any advice out of these 3?

Compared to disneyland, i have to say this was quite underwhelming

-Bought the multi pass to later realize i didn’t even need it. I could everything by just waiting in line
-Only 2-3 real rides (guardians and incredicoaster)
- guardians made me feel extremely sick after
- the incredicoaster gave me this insanely weird sensation in my body where i couldn’t feel my legs for abit
- everything else felt catered towards children

I got bored after 3 pm and left to go eat at din tai fung lol; compared to when I went to disneyland last year, it felt insanely lackluster. If I were to do disney in california again, it would be disneyland 2-3 days with maybe 1 day park hopping
