People buy all sorts of cards. You could still maybe get like 30 or 40 for this I would think. Maybe more.

Post an ebay link! I collect damaged cards for my PC.

I just use the plain ones, cheapest I can find lol.

These look like dragon shield. I usually buy 5k at a time, they are very nice.

Looks like maybe an extra green and magenta layer to me.

Can you take some more close-up? Particularly on the flowers and other areas which typically have minimal color. It could be a missing white or extra color layer.

Interesting. It looks similar on the patches of my card. Seems like some sort of incomplete foiling I agree. Wonder if CGC would recognize this.

Not sure if the little spots are damage. They are smooth and there are little sparkles in the spots which makes me think this is some sort of obstruction error where the final layer did not adhere properly in those spots.

I don't line up but the local Facebook groups usually post when lines start to form.

I've seen people line up 12+ hours early, no thanks.

I would get into a bidding war with you over this card.

Poorly designed roads, red lights which purposefully change to interrupt traffic flow, and lack of reliable public transport push people to drive a lot, take unnecessary risks when driving, and mentally push people to speed to beat the lights they know will turn red on them.

This is a fairly well-known phenomenon on the east coast, and roads have been/are being updated to allow for better traffic flow and more options for people to not need to take their personal vehicle everywhere.

Put em up on ebay then post a link!

Nothing. Honestly if you crack and resubmit its going to be a toss up between a 9 and a 10.

The only issue is that it can rip the little holo pixels off vintage cards.

IMO its only for cards you are going to keep in the PC. I have a few cards I have restored and make sure to keep them in marked toploaders as "restored"

Neat, got 3k + cards im currently sorting. Would be nice to have something like this that is reliable

Put it on eBay. I'd bid on it.

Yeah I recall populations declining before I left. Yes crack the crab in half and throw a little spice in there I agree. Also can't go wrong with some crabs in old bay and beer.

These look wonderful, I have once piece of cooking advice which makes the crabs absorb flavors much better if you would like to hear it. So, a lot of people say to cook then clean, but one thing my family has done is clean and THEN cook.

Put them all on ice and it sends then into hibernation. Once they stop moving(if you pick them up they seem limp and dead) you can quickly and humanely kill them by pulling up the apron and folding it back, and driving a knife into the spot where the apron connects. Its the spot where the top and the bottom half of the crab meet. Pull the knife up, and it rips the entire top half of the crab off. Then you clean the guts with some running water and you have a pre-cleaned crab to cook so its less work when eating, and the meat is more exposed to the seasoning.

I haven't lived on the east coast in about 10 years but its one of the things I really miss, some fresh blue claw crabs. Crabs with tomato sauce and spaghetti is a wonderful dish.

They are fairly equal in terms of value. Unlike most sets the "first editon" topps were printed more than other print runs. Also, each edition has slightly different patterning to the holographic pattern. Blue labels and black labels are the most common. 3rd edition green labels are the most rare. 4th edition red labels are more rare than blue and black, but less rare than green. Its because topps physically printed less cards of run 3 than 4, less of 4 than 1 and 2, and printed 1 and 2 to similar amounts.

Same thing with Alexa. Asked for Moana songs and the new ones played. If you want the old ones you need to ask for the 2016 version or ask for the animated version.

Just off eBay and other sites with buyer/seller protection.

See if they Zapdos is worth grading with Beckett! More pics! Good pull!

I can now. Just no fix when it happens until the queue ends.
