Then on a trip to my in-laws, we stopped by a Walmart in a smaller town and found a bunch of card packs there as well. I guess the flippers don't venture out that far from the big cities. they do. i live in small town. bet there wasnt any basketball cards there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't go inside, so I don't know what they had, but the next time I'm up in Litchfield, IL, I will check. But if they had tons of Pokemon cards, there is a good chance they had some other stuff as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mind it’s people poring through archives for info on obscure ancient coins and books. In reality it’s probably entering all the latest Italian set Yu-Gi-Oh cards into a database. Being a grader sounds like everything bad about working for the post office but also requires specialized knowledge and ruins your eyesight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine how monotonous being a grader must be. I hear the pay is terrible as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From The Verge: "Target has decided that it’s had enough: the company has officially confirmed to Bleeding Cool that it will halt the sales of Pokémon cards throughout the US, starting Friday, May 14th. The retailer cities “an abundance of caution” for the safety of both guests and store employees and notes that it will still be selling the cards on its site. ... Target has recently started limiting how many packs customers are allowed to purchase, and has even threatened to get law enforcement involved if it found people camping out by its stores for them. There was also an incident at one of the stores where someone pulled a gun during a fight about sports cards — which could explain why the halt also applies to MLB, NFL, and NBA cards as well." https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/12/22433236/target-halts-sale-pokemon-mlb-nba-nfl-trading-cards-may-14 I like how this doesn't apply to MTG cards because we're all nerds who won't get physical. Also no parent is fighting other parents for MTG cards their kids want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I don't trust CGC for grading but I don't know their standards yet. I actually work with a guy who worked for a card distributor back about 10 years ago and they started a grading company on the side. He got picked to grade cards off of no experience or requirements and was just given a check list and a handful of examples to go off of. Ever since I met him, my idea of grading has been completely thrown out the window. CGC grading cards now just doesn't sit the same way with me as PSA does but with how backed up PSA is and how over priced they've become, CGC will definitely start to get more grades and I'll get a better idea for consistently. I probably would send my cards to grade there at the end of the day. They do have a strong record with comics and they have an image to uphold. This dude was hilarious. But I think he was talking the truth. Edited August 20, 2021 by FireHazard51 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
