Melbcat has been poked and prodded. Her blood pressure is really good! (I think like 125-130?) The medicine is working.

Unfortunately I’m struggling to get the phosphate binder into her. I’ll either need to do a second oral syringe with it dissolved or get it compounded.

You would love Belgium, they have a waffle and apfelstroop aisle in the supermarkets. 🙂

Does anyone here know about grading collectible cards? I've got a bunch of old magic cards that I should sell and it seems getting them graded will improve my sale chances, but it looks like $40/card. I've got about 20 cards that'd be worth over $100 but that's $800 worth of grading.

Could you informally engage a mate to take a look and tell you if there’s anything good? Otherwise you could list them high and see if anyone bites

Edit: I found a guide for grading them yourself but it focuses on condition and doesn’t tell you about rarity or worth https://www.threeforonetrading.com/en/guide-to-grading-magic-cards

Apparently though there’s other signs and there’s a TCGPlayer app you can scan them into.

Otherwise the other place might be able to tell you

Yeah, it looks like a hassle to me but better than paying $800 out of your sales

I know a guy that used to sell MTG cards for a living. He can't officially grade them but I bet he could quote you a sale price at a glance
