>>56444977I'd forgive a Dark Blastoise. We're definitely getting Nidoqueen/King, Persian, Gengar, Gyarados, and Mewtwo.
>>56445059I thought this was the individual starter collections, I pulled a reverse XY zard from one of those once
I want it
>>56445318just buy it rofl
>>56445330I didjust letting my pals at /tcc/ see theres a cool card
>>56445350My gen2 collection is all in english... if the price for that skarmory is crazy I'll just get it for 5 bucks in japanese just like the paradox rift groudon.
>>56445381>paradox rift groudon.my gen 2 collection is all in english besides a korean umbreon because of furfaggots and slabheads
>>56445388I mean... you could have gotten the brilliant stars umbreon, it's no moonbreon but it's pretty good.
>>56445388actually now that I think about it I have a jap tyhplosion too, but thats because his card kicks assI have an english one too thoughever
It always feels good saving money from just buying the jp versions instead
>>56441632This actually seems like a cute idea. I'll have to think about it when I wake up tomorrow
Guys, look what I pulled!
>>56445387very nice anon
>still buying modern
>>56445917Very nice, Anon. What is it though?
>>56446018Turtle with a crown ontop of its shell. The turtle is balanced on a semisphere surrounded by rupees reprinting each of the Pokémon types.
Whose dick I have to suck so this girl gets fanart?
>>56446069Try ai
>>56446541Fuck you.
thinking about getting this

>>56448946Cute!

Post your fave Pokemon card art
>>56449110
>>56449110Zorua is my fav, and I'm glad it finally got a pretty illustration rare.
>>56445890 It generates interesting collections but I noticed myself that it's way, way too hard. I thought I make it myself easier to skip the legends like Arita, Morii, OOYAMA, Kusube, Hajime, Tanaka, Komiya… and instead focus on new amazing artists like akagi, REND, matazo, Masa, Kedamahadaitai Yawarakai (fucking longass name), Mousho, Tetsu Kayama, Whisker, Ounishi and many more… Paradiese Dragona introduced some new as well like buchi or Wintr Wandr or Nakamura Ippan and it seems like they include more and more artists that participated in the contests like Taiga Kayama and some that didn't win but I can't remember right now. But then there are still Akira Egawa, kawayoo, Shinya Komatsu, Jerky, kirisAki, OKACHEKE, Oswaldo KATO, Shibuzoh, sowsow and the list continues for so long that I had to give up. That >>56441695 anon managed to do it though.
>>56449301Problem with newer illustrators though is that most of them haven't managed to do 9 cards yet for a full binder page.
>>56449110>no illustration ho-oh ever printedsad.jpg
>>56449432not yet but it does have these. I'm sure it'll get one since luigi got an alt art.
>>56449432Your Silver Tempest Ho-Oh V?
>>56449556>>56449579got 'em here I've placed these in a toploader binder since I took this photo, but too lazy to take it out to take another pic
>>56449432It's because ho-oh's domain is in our imagination. By not getting an alt art or a SIR, and not getting a movie (or even an episode really), it lives in your imagination as brief flashes. It appears quickly in the series and leaves you wanting more. So you build the lore and the mystery yourself. Would I revel at a SIR or ho-oh movie? Yes. But it also means they could fuck it up or make it underwhelming. Ho-oh has lived in our imaginations for years and anything they do to it now likely won't live up to what we've made for it.
>>56449587>toploader binderSoullessA regular side-loading binder would have been more than sufficient. Now you have a bulky binder with more plastic in it an a desperate housewife, obscuring your cards.
>>56449647I like what you're saying but he did get episodes and the first movie was remade with him in mind
Where can I find the highest recently sold psa 10 cards? eBay only gives me psa 9 or below and low value results
>>56449694Minor footnotes compared to what Lugia and Celebi get. Ho-oh gets the big role within the games and lore. The others get the spotlight.
>>56449650It is bulky and I don't like it that much, but I want to keep these birds in pristine conditions as long as I can. If you're saying i can achieve that with a regular binder, should I downgrade the cards in magentic loaders into this binder and whatever's here into a smaller binder?
Reminder that KU is the best card they ever printed and everything else is pretty much a huge fucking let down.
>>56450160was this never localised
>>56450207Unfortunately not, we only ever got the VS Rockets Sneasel and Scizor as Best of Game promos. Plus a fistfull of random shit which WAS printed in English, but with the Japanese card backs, that came in a deck at the Tropical Mega Battle in 2001 and 2002. Karen's Umbreon wasn't part of those.
>>56450207nope
>>56449579erm achtually it's technically not a full art
>>56449556Fun fact; all the Legends cards are illustrated by one of the founders of Gainex who was also an executive producer on Evangelion and is the reason why the main character is named Shinji.
Umbreon not being a holo in the new Halloween set is super disappointing. Pikachu being the same as last year is also lame. This years set feels super cheap.
>>56451686peak soul
>>56451505>Pikachu being the same as last yearbut it's not :^)
>>56451505>>56452150What's the difference? Cosmos foil?
>>56451505Agreed, but it is pretty nice that there are at least some more playable cards in this year's set. Munkidori and Fluttermane are legit meta staples.
>>56451227
bit the bullet and bought the lacey SARNot actually as expensive as I expected
>>56452675The new one is from Paldean Fates while the previous one is from Paldean Evolved.yeah, I know...
>>56453412lmao what the paldean fates one was a reprint from paldea evolvedits a reprint of a reprint
>>56453451ikr I guess TEF pika wasn't spooky enough
>>56453764>FUSION STRIKE >SINGLE STRIKE >RAPID STRIKENot a fan desu, takes up so much space
Just copped my first e-series holo
>>56453176Bite a bullet literally, pedofag
>>56445059Calling starter pokemon first partners instead of starters is so fucking gay
>>56453875Why don't you, if you can fit one around the cock in your throat?Fuck off and stop shitting up the threadI bought it because it has all 4 of the BB elite 4 on it, not to jerk off to some hairdyed twink in a cardigan.
>>56453810any of those stamps always look like complete shit and ruin the art. can't they come up with a subtle way to mark it on the card that doesn't interfere with the art? like maybe that entire area reserved for the text? why is this so hard.
Got an opportunity to buy 10 knockout boxes all with ES, and 8 tins all with 2xES for 260 + tax.Am I fucking myself over or will be happy doing 4x on them in 5 years?
>>56453945what's ES?
>>56453954EVOLVING STONKS
>>56453956260 each or 260 for the whole lot?Cause that latter price seems far too cheapYou might be getting fake goods
>>56453956kek
>>56453979Target doesnt sell fakes.All the tins and the ko boxes have that osc stamp. I bought and opened 2 ko boxes and 2 tins already. The tins are the eeveelution ones. They all had evolving skies (plus bs, fs)Target sells the tins for 20, the boxes for 10. I wouldnt even be clearing them out with buying 10 boxes and 8 tins.
>>56454028The packs alone go for like 10+ eachbuy out the whole damn stock
>>56453176Haven't played the newer games so no clue who she is but she cute
So I just saw this listing on facebook but was put off by the blatantly fake gold cards what are the bets on everything else being fake?
>>56454486The rest is obviously fake as well.
>>56453810That adds to the card in this case. It almost ironic. Especially with the inclusion of the set stamp as well.
How many cards can you store in a tin compared to an Elite Trainer Box?
>>56454605how and why do you keep posting this?
>>56454306Her whole schtick is cute pokemon and fairy type e4. Also Clay's daughterI like the design, I don't want to fap over her
>>56454595about 500due to the shape I wouldnt put anything other than bulk in them
>>56454717>I like the design, I don't want to fap over herSame. I just like cute things in general and she has that non-sexual cute girl vibe
>>56454058Update: someone bought all the tins, but i got 20 KO boxes. 100x here i fucking come
>>56454959well you already made 40 bucks ignot sure if i would hodl for those promos, i'd open them and see what dross packs you got
>>56449110I like the ones that tell a story the best.
to the anons who told me where to get jp booster boxes last week ty, i pulled two of these today
>>56454959how are you gonna break it down? Keep them sealed or bust them open and sell individual packs?
>>56455385You open to selling one? Post some pics, would love to see the foiling up close and detailed. Havent seen anyone take good texture pics or anything like that, people are just talking about its price mainly.
>>56455385fuck youI haven't even had my box shipped yet reee
>>56455300I really like that you can see the ralts and the kirlia in the background mounted pictures
>>56455042>>56456254Lol im not opening them. They all have ES and FS with those promos. Im investing! :^)
>>56457280OH GOD IM INVOOOOSTING *sploot*
>>56457280Good luck trying to teach people they actually contain evolving skies packs
My buddy says all the cards he's seen for the rocket set have been Kanto pokemon and he believes the new rocket set will be a sequel to 151.
>>56458021Oh yeah well somebody in my discord said the rocket set will have all dragon pokemon and it will be a sequel to evovlivingn skies!
>>56458021>My buddymy dad works at pokemon and he says your buddy is gay and so are you
well I work at pokemon and can confirm this >>56458035also can confirm that buying the rocket set will make you gay
>>56453412>>56453451>>56453474They clearly & intentionally did not want any 151 variants within the Halloween & Holiday sets. I bet there will be none in the McDonald's set either.
>>56458033>>56458035I like when people have melt downs over Kanto. Always the funniest spergouts
My dad is mr. Pokemon himself and he says u suck dick lol
>>56457367Pretty
is it actually worth keeping any modern bulk cards?
>>56458476maybe just 1 of each for master sets, or 4 of each in case you play too and it ever goes meta
>>56458476I like to keep at least 1 of each. I sort the duplicates into lots and bundle them into tins and put them on ebay.
>>56458074yes and? deal with it
What's the easiest way to collect cards from a certain artist? I want to collect Asako Ito and Sachiko Adachi (approx 35 cards each) and maybe Yuka Morii. Yuka's done about 300 cards and some of them are expensive but it could be achievable over time, the other two are pretty cheap but the main issue is buying singles. Most of these I'm going to have to buy one by one and the shipping costs are going to get pretty stupid. Is there a better way around this?
>>56458476not worth it unless you're collecting specific artists
>>56458530Deal with what?The reprint of a reprint Pikachu?
>>56458212People claim that Kanto enjoyers aren't true Pokemon fans.I'd argue the guys that sperg out over Kanto fans aren't true Pokemon fans.Kanto enjoyers simply love what they love.Kanto haters are based entirely on hate and spite.
I like Johto
I forget if it was mentioned here but the gold border was cool so I bought one
>>56459072
>>56458543Not collecting artists but a bunch of others and I've been trying to find single sellers that carry at least a few of what I want on tcgplayer.com and hopefully enough to get free shipping. Then use the optimize cart feature. You could just add everything to cart and see what it comes up with. It kind of sucks though, especially as older sets are phased out, most sellers don't carry commons, etc., so that's why I've been doing a lot manually which is very time consuming.
>>56454306The SAR looks like shit compared to the regular full art lmao. I don't know why people are wasting their money on these bland characters SARs.
>>56459608There's a reason why they tumble in price so fast
>>56459222I graded mine
>>56458476for children maybeI jobbed off 2000+ cards to my niece
>>56458961Expecting anything worth a damn out of a fucking mcd's set is bloody pointless is my point
>>56458543go to your lgs and ask for the bulk pile
Lacey getto
Redpill me on 1995 topsun cards. They look incredible
Surging sparks looks fucking terrible!
>>56460754Take the jappill
>>56460754surely the other half will save it...trvst the plan...
>>56460754then why is everyone hyping it up as the next big thing?
>>56460949KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPeople are idiots.Stellar crown is the only decent set this year
>>56460951is ponpon a joke to you?
>>56445059Is Brilliant stars worth buying? I got a good offer on a booster box. I only know that the charizard is popular.
>>56461056its a mid set
>>56461120Not even worth it then? That sucks.
>>56461146unless you pull the zard or arceus its worthlessI'd spend the money on singles
>>56461056Buy the eveelution singles, don't bother with it otherwise. Still better than the average SV set tho lmao
>>56455385Where'd you get them? I used to get them on Amiami years ago but looks like they don't sell booster boxes anymore.
I want to do a binder set of base, jungle and fossil in pokedex order but I'm having ocd about some pokemon such as raichu and magneton having multiple cards in the first 3 sets. Are the base or fossil versions typically used when organizing these sets in pokedex order?
>>56461822Kino pages anon
>>56451435cringe as fuck
Is Rare Candy legit? $60 for 17 packs seems pretty good.
>>56463097That's being sold by a third party. Rare Candy is Leonhearts site.
>>56463514I see. It seems mhdealsplus has their own site with the same bundle. It looks like they do these kinds of bundles with new releases while they are plentiful.
Is collecting all the Lapras cards a reasonable collection goal?
>>56464272It can be done in an afternoon with like $250.
>>56464272I feel like Lapras is a good one to collect. Things to consider:Do you want to collect variants like reprints reverses/holos/non holos?Do you want to collect English and/or Japanese, other languages?Do you want to collect non TCG art cards?
>>56464764>nishida
>>56464780TopSun cards are pretty cool. I should have bought these when they were available on Ebay.
>>56449110Easy
>>56465097https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya1ySdk9Oao
How do you order your binders? Set? Rarity? Pokemon #? Do you put several pokemon in the same page or the best card per pokemon?
Ahh I want this card but it's pretty dear and I've just recently spent a few hundred dollars on singles.>>56465420Most of my collection is based around specific mons that I like. They each have their own section with all the cards I have of them including evolutions ordered by set. Then I've got another binder for nice or full arts for other mons and trainers.
>>56463097Pretty sure you can get literally anything you want in stellar crown for 60 bucks lol
>>56464341I might just go for it this weekend then if I can find everything and it's as inexpensive as you think it'll be.>>56464780I think it makes more sense to just get the cheapest version of each print with the best visual features. So go for the holographic art reprinted if the reprint is cheaper. I never tried to collect anything other than what I pulled from packs before, so I don't know if this makes sense?The TopSun Lapras vs Blastoise is pretty neat. Might be cool to collect, but if there are a lot of TopSun cards per pokemon and they're expensive, maybe I should refrain.
>>56466020love this card, but i recently had to rebuy most of these gallery cards as the japanese versions because the silver border just looks so much better for art cards imo. I wish we could have best of both worlds and kept yellow borders for normal cards and silver used for any IR
>>56465420I only keep my set collections in binders (everything else in boxes) so by set.
>>56466020
>>564654201 binder for vintage. 1 binder for modern. Both have no order, I just buy the cards and put them inside. 1 binder for 151. The cards are ordered after set number. 1 ring binder for theme collections like same artist or same Pokémon per page.
>>56465097Great card. It's too bad that it inspired hundreds of thousands of unoriginal fanart copycats that now try and replicate this scene whenever they draw pokemon. Very uninspired.See: Pokemon illustration contests (especially ones submitted for arcanine)
>>56467045>>56467055>>56467059>food water and garbagevery nice anon!you don't see many unique themes like this, most recent posted was the mons with other mons ones
>>56461822>>56467045>>56467055>>56467059So based
pokemon cards if they had lore like yugioh
MetaZoo is being bought and is coming back. i got a bunch of really rare shit for a super great price when people panic sold. already have had some of my rarer cards go up in value. wew lads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMS0Nrgipws
>>56467104?? 99.999% of yugioh cards have no lore at all
>>56467171they show certain characters more than others and you can piece together a story from cards over the years
Holy shit this is so cool. Why does china get cool shit like this???
>>56467329Forgot pic.
>>56466119I think it depends on the card on some the yellow acts as a nice frame
>>56467329>>56467369Pokemon china's exclusive products have been home runs. From their anniversary box, to their eevee boxes, and even the lillie, marnie, and charizard boxes.They even have very nice trainer tins that come with sleeves.
Recomend me a good binder from amazon, is that one with the pokeball design good?
>>56467369What is it?
>>56468786I use Ultimate Guard FlexXFolio Xenoskin 9 Pocket. Good quality, and the front and back are sturdy.
>>56467045>>56467055>>56467059Kino
>>56466119Not a fan of silver, I like the yellow border because it's one of the unique attributes of Pokemon cards. Silver (shiny) borders should be reserved for full art and better cards.
>>56469366cringe, please tell me they don't all look this obnoxious
ポケット女
Thanks anons>>56467073Nice I'll have to look for it, great cards in that theme
>>56431412Great cards anon>>56427358You may already know about it but there's luvdisc in Piplup 33/133
>>56469609How about you open the binder and look at the cards instead of looking at the binder
>>56471797kino
>>56471937The fact that the speed forme is in a different set and will have a different stamp triggers my 'tism
>>56472229>tiger giraffe>dragonlmao
Bought 4 Jap boxes, but ran out of room in the binder. Ignore the garden voir and eevees, they are old. The normal EXs and art rares are waiting outside for a new binder.Parasol lady is my favorite
>>56472125It does seem odd that they didn't think to make a speed forme along with attack and defense. It seems like such a natural inclusion.
Never been a fan of binders in order of national pokédex, but all of a sudden I'm thinking about it. Would be fun and cutesy to pick out the prettiest card for each pokémon.
>>56445059Is there a way to fix peeling edges? I've been going through the stash of cards from when I was little and there are some nice cards in bad condition. It's mostly for aesthetics rather than selling as I don't think they're in prime condition regardless (I've got a reverse holo Numel which is completely fucked) but I'd like to fix the edges back down if possible. The image isn't the best but the top layer is peeling off of the cardstock.
>>56468458Holy sexo...
>>56473997i think it's a great idea. putting together a binder should be an exercise in creativity and expression. honestly never really understood the appeal of set binders where you just fill in every card where they belong. it's like, yep that's the set, what's the fucking point.
>>56465420I haven't got them all yet due to money constraints, but I'm planning to have one for each type, one for favourites (which I've got) and one for trainer cards
I know everyone has them but some of the trainer gallery cards really are nice to look at
I've got pic related, I'm aware that it may be worth a fair amount and I don't personally care about the card enough to keep it for myself so I'm probably going to sell it. What do I actually need to do to sell this and not get scammed? I feel like it's worth getting it graded for the value but I'm not certain it's the right card as some cards have reprints that look exactly the same but aren't worth shit.
>>56475454you aren't getting a good rating on that
>>56475353I literally don't have a single one, but this one >>56475416 I'd really like to buy.
>>56475466Fug, I found it in a tin from when I was like 12 so none of the cards are in great condition. Am I better off just selling it as is for a lower price?
>>56475454Bro...
>>56475466>>56475504Actually, I'm not versed in this. There's a little peel on the top left but the pattern on the card isn't dirt, that's how it's come out in the photo. Does the corner just fuck the value by itself?
>>56475548Look at sold ones (not listed, but actually sold!) on eBay to get an estimate of what you'll get for it.
>>56475569The ungraded sold ones all went for about £1500 (~$2000).
>>56475353They are pretty cool, ignore the chonk.
>>56475718Yours would rate a 1 or 2. Doubt you get more than a couple hundred for it

What's your most expensive card? Here's mine. Not my listing, I just own this print.
>>56479790That toxicitry is terrible
>>56479944I have four out of the seven Illusion's Zorua. Three of them as PSA 9s, an one as a PSA 10. The one I have in PSA 10 had an ungraded sale in eBay in July for $5,000. I have no idea how to sell them without risk of being scammed.
>>56480163Forgot image of the sold variant.
>>56480163>>56480168And apparently this PSA 10 sold for $8,700. Holy hell. I hadn't checked the price for a long time. https://www.fanaticscollect.com/items/3564681/2010-pokemon-japanese-design-promo-televi-kun-winner-illusions-zorua-psa-10-gem
>>56480168wtf Zorua's Japanese name is Zoroa? Why did they change it to something that makes less sense?
>>56480163Honestly, you might have to go through an established auction house. Less chance of getting fucked, although you lose a fee to them of course.
Does anyone collect energies? What's your guys' favorite energy design?
>>56481550Forgot pic.

>>56482328Good luck anon! That card is pretty cute, I hope you can get your money's worth.I know Catawiki.com is also doing Pokemon auctions now, but I'm not sure how trustworthy they are They are bound by (Dutch?) law as official auctioneers though.
>>56481550I like the special energies a lot more than the basics.
>>56482075>40 bids>6 days remaining>Currently $2061 USD151 is King, and carrying Scarlet & Violet Tremendously. The other sets have a little bit here and there but like barely, in most cases it's a kanto illustration rares.Try not to sperg out.
>>56482386As a kid I hated them. Special energies were often a rare card and sometimes even a holo. It was morale crushing to open an pack, get a holo, only for it to be a shitty energy card that no one cared about. This was worse than getting a holo trainer card. No one wanted these things and it was almost impossible to trade them away for something worthwhile.
>>56479790>not picking the sick af foundry melmetalabsolutely scammed
>>56483519Is that a still from the meltan/melmetal reveal trailer?
How would you go about photographing every single card in your collection? Including bulk. I'm thinking about building a simple robot with a vacuum gripper just for this.
>>56483859why?
>>56482437I opened a 200 dollar pack a few years ago and my reverse was an energy. It was one of the cool Power Keepers ones but still, I learnt my lesson. Got a cool holo rare though.
>>56483579Not that I'm aware.
>>56483859You can buy an inexpensive phone tripod/stand. Then angle your phone down towards your cards and take a photo.If you wanted prettier photos you could buy an inexpensive light box at a drugstore or something.
>>56485391Sexo. Wish she had more doujins
If pikachu amd charizard have the overall most expensive cards, who has the 3rd overall most?
>>56484093Autism I suppose. I like keeping track of my stuff.>>56485721>light boxYeah. Might go for this, in an automated way of course. Ordered robotics parts already, Robotic arm places card from a stack, phone/Raspberry Pi takes photo, robotic arm changes card to next one.
They're releasing a set called Scarlet & Violet 131.>Features the 100 Johto Pokemon and their evolutionary families from generation one.>Reverse Holo Master Balls symbols are now Pokérus symbols and will be in the English release as well.>gold card hyper rare are special Illustration Rares of Shining Celebi, Shining Ho-Oh, and Shining Lugia>The set will also include Dark & Light named Pokémon, which will replace full arts as the Ultra Rares.>The SARs are Espeon, Umbreon, Typhlsion, Feraligatr, Meganium, Clair, and Karen.>The ARs are Cyndaquil, Quilava, Totodile, Croconaw, Chikorita, Bayleef, Hitmontop, Steelix, Scizor, Kingdra, Politoad, Crobat, Porygon2, Slowking, Bellossom, Blissey>The Ultra Rares: Dark Typhlsion, Light Meganium, Dark Feraligatr, Light Espeon, Dark Umbreon, Light Suicune, Dark Entei, Dark Raikou, Dark Tyranitar, Light Sudowudo, DarkSkarmory, Dark Sneasel, Karen, Clair, Whitney, and Jasmine.>Items: Sun Stone, King's Rock, Dragon Scale, Metal Coat, Dubious Disk>Energies are the HG&SS silhouette energies, cosmos Holo variants exist as well.
>>56486194>They're releasing a set called Scarlet & Violet 131.???>Called SV 151 due to there being 151 pokemon discovered in Kanto>Called SV 131 for some reason despite there only being 100 pokemon discovered in johto
>>56486194Haha you failed when reposting
>>56486194Can we get a spikey promo?
>>56486194No black spike Lugia, no care.
>>56485391Beautiful.
Would now be a good time to buy the felt hat pikachu, or are they about to crash in value anytime soon?
>>56486097umbreon lugia or gengar
>>56486097Probably Mewtwo or Eevee
>>56486406Looking at prices on cardmarket, I'd say yes. People are hyped out for the moment and looking at other things, so prices aren't too bad. This will always be a card that's wanted because Pikachu. Or maybe wait until the Rocket set is released in a few months, and people are even more focussed on other nostalgia.
>>56486406only if you particularly like it, they print a new "limited" pikachu once every few months I don't see any of them mooning like the mario pikachus for example
>>56486660Cool!>Rocket setIs that the same as Surging Sparks, or the one after that?>>56486673Yeah, not planning on buying it for it to increase in value. I had a work trip scheduled where I was supposed to go to the museum during my free time, but the museum decided to abort the card handouts just before I got there. I just want a copy of the card because it's cute.
>>56486660>>56486730People are putting too much stake into the Rocket set, it could be shitmons.Not only that but chandelier hats.151 was magical because it dodged the chandelier hats.
>>56486880There's also a possibility it's 151 pt. 2Which some people would think is awesome, but others would HATE that.Which I don't even understand, team rocket is literally Kanto/ Gen 1's villain team/ antagonist. They LOVE team rocket but HATE Kanto/ Gen 1... Literally makes no sense.
>>56486931>They LOVE team rocket but HATE Kanto/ Gen 1... Literally makes no senseTR was a big part of GSC as well.
>>56486956That still doesn't resolve the issue
>>56486991What do you mean that the issue is?
Someone knows how open a TCG "milkbox" without ruining the carton? See pic related, is from amazon from someone complaining that their Iono's milkbox got opened, got the rare card stolen and resealed, look how they perfectly opened it without ruining the material and resealed it with cheap tape, how the fuck they do that? How the fuck they clean the glue so perfectly?
>>56486170link to robot arm parts? interested in making something similar
I am looking into getting full foil sets of base to all the way to skyridge. What would be the best way to go about it? What places to pick up full sets online in EU?
>>56487401boxes sometimes can open slightly or all the way naturally, and I've had boxes directly from pokemon center come like thisI think it's due to a combination of temperature/humidity and movement in shipping, that makes the glue not stick and or stick very little and the box jostles open.I personally am capable of opening boxes without ripping the cardboard by doing so very carefully with a knife and slow movements, so it's not that hard actually
>>56487441Wanna buy my Charizard? :^)
>>56487556Post a pic
>>56475454>>56487659:^)
>card was worth 30-40K at its height for psa10>now only worth 10k~ Do I wait? It doesn’t seem like there will be another spoken in interest. We had Pogo and the Coof for that
So in my country they are gonna release another round of 151 from restocks, and its average 6 bucks per booster. How many do you think its worth picking up? I heard the pulls rates of 151 are dogshit
>>56488189>I heard the pulls rates of 151 are dogshitThey really are. I'd be careful if you're buying to rip, don't spend too much money because o fomo. If you want to hold it to invest it might be worth it. I stopped trying to pull anything after the worst pack opening experiences I've had so far, switched to singles very quickly.
>>56486730>Is that the same as Surging Sparks, or the one after that?After that, or it might be even later. We don't know much about it other than that it releases early 2025.
>>56487401i picked mine up from gamestopi used my monthly rewards\discount as welljust buy the "rare art" loose is my recommendationits 12usd
>>56488189>>56488214Threadly reminder, 151 is the only good set in Scarlet & Violet. >First set ever in the history of Pokémon to contain all 151 Pokémon in a single set.>First ever set ordered by dex number instead of typings. This is good from a binder collectors point of view who may have OCD issues with organizing. >The return of Kadabra in a very long time, keep in mind Uri Gellar gave up his lawsuit victory over Pokémon to make his grand kids happy as they loved the Pokémon and changed his stance on it. >New silver boarders.>Set avoided stupid crystal hats gimmick during the era of stupid crystal hats. >Starters got connected evolution line illustration arts.The set is a love letter to Pokémon fans and fans of the original 151. It's the everyone is here version of smash bros.
>>56489305>Historic>Nostalgic >Special Set (Less production, shorter availablity, no booster boxes or single packs)>Commemorative >Great arts>Fan favorite pokemon>Majority of long time fans having the money to acquire it. It's great, might be the greatest ever.
I'm having a collectors dilemma, I have a 151 set, attempting to master it. I don't know what energies to include or what one's not to. Should I just incorporate every Scarlet & Violet energy? Definitely not aesthetic when you think of battle academy variants.
>>56488879>Implying gamespot exist here.LMAO, but seriously, I already have it, I bought from Amazon like a month ago, but recently it appeared in my country most popular web store and I am really tempted to buy again so i have a "perfect sealed box" in display as the old one has some damage...unless there is a way to open the milkbox without damaging the carton, ergo my previous question.
>>56489767just freeze the box and try to open it with a flat sheet of metal like a butter knife
>>56489918kek try with an energy or code card too
>>56449110Also my favorite card in general.>>56465040Surprised this is the only trainer card chosen.>>56451686Based tropical islands enjoyerThose cards have a comfy energy never matched
Does anyone have this binder? It seems to be ultra pros highest tier binder, but there is seemingly 0 review videos about it and only a handful of reviews on amazon and their website.
>>56481557>>56481550EX Emerald is that good shit as far as basics go. Overall it's gotta be the original printing of Rainbow Energy.>>56469609>he doesn't want official Gigachad branded binderslow test>>56486248Did they change him at some point? I'm not a Lugia fan so I guess I never noticed.
>>56487439It's just servo motors and a PSU, plus a vauum kit like the one linked below. The rest is 3D printed stuff. If I get something that works, I'll share it with you guys.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006885601348.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.6c76ARneARne70&algo_pvid=2c32ba7f-54fd-4164-99a7-147125e8b027&algo_exp_id=2c32ba7f-54fd-4164-99a7-147125e8b027-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21SEK%21398.18%21318.54%21%21%21269.33%21215.46%21%4021039cc717272431198007710eeca4%2112000038676685886%21sea%21SE%210%21ABX&curPageLogUid=3us7QBAN1geN&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A
Two 151 sealed displays for 432 bucks, worth or no?
>>56488189I'd at least buy one binder bundle.
>>56490007>he doesn't want official Gigachad branded bindersCorrect
Don't all expansions have a booster bundle? Can't find one for Stellar Crown.
How hard is it to crack open a PSA slab? I found a card that I want in a PSA 7 slab that's cheaper than raw cards of the same condition, but I don't want it in a slab though.
>>56491607it's just plastic it's not meant to be very durable
New>>56491701>>56491701
>>56489988wtf why is it so expensive
