In the Philippines it goes as far as they want it to go. “Professional Gaming” could mean pretty much any gaming event where you can win money. It is archaic and intentionally vague wording that can be (and under the current admin there, will be) abused.

I mean to be fair, any signature devalues the item unless someone is specifically looking for that exact comic to be signed by that exact person.

I always see autographs as a reminder of a fun encounter more than something to sell. Then again I don’t go to conventions and drop $50 or more to meet a celebrity for 30

Some collectors like those autographs but honestly they drop the condition pretty significantly. I mean we are talking a graded 9.5 could go down to a 6.0 due to a signature. On a black lotus that is somewhere around $10-20k value lost. (Granted we are still looking at a $10k+ graded piece of cardboard)

Now playing

The real question is if Pornhub has the entirety of The Trial Of Captain Hook?

Sister blows NOT her brother in front of NOT their dad.

It likely has to do with the grey area of obscenity laws in some regions.

Same here.

Also many stores that aren’t exclusive magic dealers don’t want to have hundreds of thousands of dollars in liquid inventory on hand.

Hell I hesitate to even buy duals for cash -gladly give 80%+ in credit though- these days. I can sell a $20-$50 card a dozen times but those cards that hit that $100+ range and aren’t

What’s that? You have 20 comics all autographed by Stan Lee?
Great..I’ll pass. There is probably no one beyond Jason David Frank or Lou Ferrigno that has signed more merchandise out there outside of the WWE. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was intentional of Stan to tank the value of his signature, so people looking

The problem is there are far too many speculators and far too much in print to sustain the speculative bubble. Everyone is holding on to EVERYTHING. Every gaming shop that has any liquid capital is dumping it into booster boxes, and players are doing the same thing. This is not good for the market.
Essentially a

Yeah I was going to mention the parallel to cryptocurrency but felt it was a redundant point. So many people that aren’t putting any effort in or understanding of what they are getting into are going to lose their shirts.

Yep. This is a constant that people expect money without any effort.
It is really bad right now with Pokemon cards. Every so often some shitty clickbait website runs a listicle on how YOUR POKEMON CARDS COULD BE WORTH THOUSANDS!!! and we inevitably get a couple dozen people over a few weeks coming in with

As someone that runs events and manages the gaming side of a LGS, I would welcome the removal of the reserved list.

There is nothing more annoying than amateur investors. The ones that play the game and think they are going to get 200% value out of their played cards that they invested a whole $100 into. Oh and all

Agreed, a purple lightsaber would be appropriate since usually (Prequels excused, since there wasn’t any rhyme or reason to the colors explained) blue = light, red = dark. Yes there is EU reasoning for the colors, and synthetic crystals vs naturally grown ones...but it also has a thematic element of good vs evil.

Battlefront II’s space maps in multiplayer are spectacular. They are exactly what I have been waiting for since X-Wing. I like the fact that they have multiple objectives that keep people moving rather than circling for pks.

I also would assume she didn’t know if it would work effectively. It was a last-ditch one shot effort.

While I agree with this sign, the same ramp sign guy also had “FINAL FANTASY 8 SUCKS” so I have to hate him/her forever.

I think you hit it on the head. It is showing the grey that we know exists in the real world.
It is no longer “Good guy Jedi” vs super evil “Sith”, War is hell. War never changes, there are no winners, some just lose less.

It shows all these people that are not actually good or evil but they profit off war in some

I think it was done to show Luke in a different light. He is now the “Crazy old hermit” that Ben Kenobi was known to be. Aside from a bit of a silly gag (And possibly show the origin of blue milk) it is to show us Luke has really left the reality and conflicts we know to be the rest of the galaxy.

Agreed completely.

I went in open minded and only one scene took me out of the film: When all the main resistance characters boarded the same shuttle.
The other shuttles being picked off like nothing and the one with multiple named characters magically survives took the suspense out of the sequence for me.

We all went
