Can anyone legit check this for me?
>>58222315>soonbros...im so fucking preparedMega era will be fire. we didnt even get a Rayquaza set. holy shit bros...
>still buying vintage
>>58222352I'm 38 and im all into modern. When i was a kid we didnt have cards with cool artworkit was always some awkward mon in a tiny window-card
>>58222306Yeah. My little cousin got really into Pokemon and I busted out my old binder to show off all my old cards and told him if he got an A in his big exam then he could pick any card out of the binder to keep. He got his A, so he got his card. And evidently he had great taste, because he picked the holo Umbreon from Aquapolis.
>still buying modern
Faggot ass Cardmarket seller listed the Vocarona V full art as a Japanese version but it turned out to be Korean. The price was low enough where it wasn't worth bothering to send it back plus its my only Korean card so its good as a comparison piece, the quality is in fact way shittier than Japanese.
>>58222452>cardmarket>no photos/shitty photos>probably will get a LP-card because you can't see itjust buy from Ebay you dumbass
I can’t believe Mega Mawile didn’t get a fancy alt art, absolutely fucking suffering. That was my shit in the Pokemon XY games.
>>58222473dude chill. it's just the beginning. the existence of mawile card is a hint that we will get herWe still have to see a charizard Y or mega rayquaza or other stuff fom megaswe will have a full year of mega evo cards
>tfw you will never have both bubble mewsbros...

>>58222452Cute Yuuri. Sucks what happened but its the only way to offload Korean cards I guess.

>>58222478>the existence of mawile card is a hint that we will get herWhat the fuck is this ESL babble?
If you could only keep 1 card from your collection purely based off its artwork(not personal sentimentality) what card would you keep?
>still posting Steelix
>>58222473Hopefully they'll release a nice alt art on the eventual premium set but knowing TPC it will just be more Mega Charizards and Lucarios.
first time I had the chance to get cards for retail and got this. haven't opened pokemon in so long
>>58222614
>>58222614Because he's literally me
>>58222615I wanted Steelix and Scizor so bad as a kid playing Pokemon Crystal but I had no friends to trade with :(
>>58222831why is wailord jizzing on magikarp?
>>58222527All muscle, no brains. They definitely take each other up the ass.
Dunno why I thought it would be a good idea to buy a pack of Journey Together today. Cool, another Salamence EX
>tfw no qt emo flareon gf
>>58223083So funny seeing these start to really blow up.
Got a "cheap" deal on Team Aqua's Kyogre, $120 for "LP" but there were no pictures, looking forward to seeing condition in person
>>58223198English?
>>58223150I bought a card on TCGp for $100 years back without photos. I was lucky that the card came in mint condition. But the moment I bought the card I realized what a stupid idea it was to spend that much on something sight-unseen. Never again now.
>still posting Alakazam
>>58223254>But the moment I bought the card I realized what a stupid idea it was to spend that much on something sight-unseen. Never again now.I'm not really concerned about that, I've had good luck across various sites complaining about condition. I have never been out of pocket and regularly get refunds (including shipping) or 40-50% off if the condition doesn't match. If the card has a nice front then I'll be good. For reference this is the cheapest one on ebay right now at $180. I paid $120 for "LP" rather than Poor/HP so anything is a win, if the front is nice I'll keep it for my collection. If the front isn't nice enough for me to keep I'll resell for a small profit and if it's really bad then I'll refund or get 30-40% off (10% per grade) that it's under. I quite enjoy these gambles knowing the sites will have my back
>still sleeping on the best pokemon
omg moonbreon!!!who gaf
>>58223473>unintentionally get the best leafeon>decide not to sell it>now want to get the best card of each eeveelution
>>58222315Anyone else have trouble moving rare products like ES boosters for full price? I have to sell at 80% with it taking a while, but I guess it's better than nothing and still a profit. Not touching ebay cause it'd be even more % loss. Currently everything's exploding in price yet it's so difficult to sell it off. What's a better way? LCS are fuckers who want stuff at 50-60% value, guess the next best thing aside from fb marketplace is card shows?
>>582235274 letters:MSRPOpen your box, or sell it for what you paid for it. Take the L you've already got in your hands.
>>58223529That's dumb. I'm losing a bit on my collectr forsighted total value but it's still more profitable than selling at msrp..
>>58223537Here's a crazy idea. Open your box, see what cards you got, and enjoy the Pokemon?Or, I can buy it from you for MSRP + shipping. your choice. Wanna know something? Nobody wants to pay stupid scalped prices. That is why you aren't about to sell it off. Sure, the LISTINGS might have $$$$$'s, so much money omg!! But you know the reality first hand. You can't sell to a non-existent buyer.Also juicy secret: Sold listings on eBay are cooked where the scalpers are selling back and forth to each other in a ring to make the prices appear organic and "people want this".Read my lips, carefully.Nobody. Wants. To. Pay. Those. Prices.
>>58223548>Open your box, see what cards you gotIt's a collector thread not a retard thread. People do buy it just takes longer, was wondering how others did it. You clearly don't do it so idk why you're adding your dumb opinion. Guess slow and steady is the way to go.
>>58223555Ok ok you're right, I'm wrong.Pray and hope someone will buy your overpriced crap. Surely someone will buy any minute now.In fact, you might just get a sale! One whole sale, gosh you might even make $83 in PURE profit off of it!! Holy shit! Money!Meanwhile: I get paid $975 every single week. Yes, that's right! It's this crazy thing called... a jobWHOAAAA WHOAAAA WHOOAAAA OMG WHAT IS THAT????
>>58223561They do buy though, just slower like I said. You can literally check tcgplayer, fb marketplaces, and ebay. They'll move slow sure but it's still sales. You're living in your delusional world where Pokémon can't sell. Also got a job and have Pokémon as a hobby but okay.
>>58223568Then why are you crying, pissbaby?What's the matter, I thought you were selling? People are buying, just "slower"? Why so worried? What's the rush? Got little credit card debts to pay off, oh you poor thing. :(
>>58223572I'm asking other sellers how they operate duh. I have slabs too, I collect. You're not a seller so idkwhy you're so salty.
>>58222315>still grading cards
>>58223555Yes collecting the cards not the packaging retard
I was looking at my amiami order history and it brought a tear to my eye. We used to have it so good.
>>58223825
>>58223827
>>58223829
>>58222614I'd rather have it in Japanese, but I couldn't say no to a 50$ deal in current times
>>58223555You are right, it's a collector thread not an investment thread. Too bad everyone now has to keep everything sealed because box prices are so inflated that in some cases even if you pull the biggest chase of the set, it's still worth less than the sealed box. Hobby is invaded by retards and a big percentage of singles will never see the light because you gotta keep your boxes in a basement for 10 years.
>>58222614>keep 1 card from your collection purely based off its artwork(not personal sentimentality) what card would you keep?that's easy
bros...i want an update on Inferno X so much....it's monday why there are no updates. I want more cards and info!!

YOOOOOOO LOOK AT WHAT I JUST FUCKING PULLED!
>>58224320This is a deck in Pocket
>>58224542psa 8 at best
I really need to stop getting ETBs. I only collect, I don't need all the dice and stuff
>>58223825>>58223827>>58223829>>58223831Nice figures, bro. Does AmiAmi even sell Pokemon cards anymore? Don't think I've ever seen them there.
>>58224760They are like a really bad value for packs too, you can get two booster bundles for the price of an etb
>>58224781It's just so tempting when it's the only thing in the PokeCenter
collections are meant to be liquidated at some point
>>58224826Unless you like them and want to keep them. I also hoard gold and silver with my favorite Pokemon cards
>>58224826No, that would be an investment. You collect things that bring you immediate happiness, not trying to get any monetary gain. You invest in things that give you potential future monetary value, not initial happiness.
>>58224832>>58224835of course, keeping my favorites. but at some point some shit I bought out of impulse that looked pretty just don't hold any personal value and I sell them off. keeping my mega mawiles, glaceons, and tinkatons forever and collecting future versions of them.
>>58224826Liquidate this*unzips cock*
>>58224842This I can agree with. Some people just buy a bunch of random pokemon that they don't even like because they're valuable or because they of an impulsive moment. Just sell them unless you really want to hoard cardboard for the rest of your life. Their value is currently the highest it's ever been and it'll let you repurpose that money back into your actual favs.
>>58224826>>58224832>>58224835>>58224842>>58224843>>58224852dumb investorcucks
I'm not investing, I collect cards cause it is fun to have cool looking cardboard of my favourite creatures. But it makes me feel better spending thousands on them thinking that if I ever enter a personal financial crisis I have the capability to undo the damage the hobby caused to my bank account by selling
>>58224882>I'm not investing, I collect cards cause it is fun to have cool looking cardboard of my favourite creatures. But it makes me feel better spending thousands on them thinking that if I ever enter a personal financial crisis I have the capability to undo the damage the hobby caused to my bank account by sellingSame.i never sold anything yet it's always good to know that..i hope i will never be in a situation when i need to sell my collection but it's good to feel safe knowing your collection actualy worths something
>>58224882i'm also a collectorcards going up simply means i get to sell and make a profit so the actual card collecting aspect is subsidised by the profit i makeit's not my fault that buying two or 3 copies of the same card ends up with me getting rid of 1 or 2 copies and the last one or 2 are free for me to keep forever
>>58224762None on the English side while the jap side has only pre-built decks.
>i'm also a collector
I wanna follow up to Friday's posts: >>58213682 and >>58214006I need the people of the various "Restock Tracker" paid discord groups to know that your trackers are not infallible. You don't know where *everything* is. Your funny little methods are finally showing cracks. Lurk some more IRL, touch some actual grass, or keep chasing those same empty store shelves as you sit there gob-smacked that they're out of stock yet again and you wasted your entire day driving around from store to store because now it's gotten to the point where you are now being cannibalized by your "own kind" and other slightly faster people beat you to it all. It's become mainstream. The gig is up (for you).And yet, in spite of it all, you still rely on the Discord group to tell you where to go, and you actually PAY for the privilege of these useless information. You'll never learn where organic stock is lurking. I just walked in to a store, got this Team Rocket tin (the 2nd of the 3 in the set I'd like to collect), and I will be able to get my final Persian whenever I feel like it.I will not buy a single "sealed product" from you.And, just for you, I will continue to tear open the boxes of cards I want to enjoy, bought at beautiful MSRP and not a penny more, breaking that oh-so-precious shrinkwrap seal. Sometimes I pay less than MSRP in the case of Gamestop's rewards points taking $10 off my total and this [redacted] store having stock a-plenty.You lost. Keep wasting gas on that "restock chase", faggot.Oh and I also got one of your oh-so-precious Prismatic Evolutions tins as well, also ripped open and enjoyed. I think I'll be able to focus my collection of that set next after DR, I have all the time in the world now that I don't have to deal with you pesky cockroaches.[Retar--I mean, Restock Alert!!]Better hurry over, my homie!! Hurry-- Ohhhh too late again. Out of stock and nothing left for you to scalp. Boo hoo.Everyone else. Keep an eye out for "unusual" places in town.
>>58224435To be fair it's more like 25 since the yen was much stronger back then
Pull anything good lately?
>>58224962I'll let you know in a sec.
>>58224882Sell while you can man. Just 2.5 years ago from late 2022 to early 2024 product and cards were selling at msrp or below and very hard to move/liquidate. If it drops again suddenly the shit you care less about is harder to liquidate for thousands. Not to mention how cheap they were pre-2020.That's how I justify my rationale for getting rid of cards I care less about.
>>58224923I will never pay for restock discords because that means im already paying over msrp for products, im in one of those free ones for pokemon center restocks thoughver
>>58224962>>58224965Very first pack from my tin.Today is a good day.I'd like to take a moment to say fuck Pokerev, fuck scalpers, fuck whatnot rip-and-shippers, and fuck yeah Ho-Oh.
>>58224882some people think moving your collection around while keeping shit is being an investor. bro should I just hold on to everything forever until I rot? hits are hits but people who just hoard everything like it's a dragon's treasure and equally as dumb, especially if they just 'like' it cause it's a rare SIR or alternative art card of a mon they don't give a shit about.
Try selling your shit right now without losing 20-30% of the value on it at minimum. You will only sell at 100% minus ebay fees if you have a 500+ review store. Niggas don't know game, they think this shit is an investor stock market where you can just dump it all when you're done with it. Hope you don't have a day job cause selling cards is going to become your day job. And time = money LMAO
>>58224997>NOOOO THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR WHATNOT RIP AND SHIP SCAMS!!! HOW DARE YOU!!!
>>58224962I opened a demigod pack of terestal festival.

>>58224882Poor people are disgusting. My collection is worth thousands and it's still a very small % of my bank account.

Mail day! The only good (still gay but good) tera SAR. Love my palm tree.
>>58224928Still, 25 for a booster box of Blue Shock, thankfully I pulled the Bridgette from the box I opened but I'd give anything to pull the Alt Art Mewtwo EX.
>>58225156The break cards really held back those sets. Pulied way too many of them.
What cards besides zard are going to be in Phantasmal Flames? All I could find is this.https://www.pokeguardian.com/sets/set-lists/japanese-sets/2687384_m2-inferno-x-main-set-list
>>58225524the set is not even revealed yet you fucking normie
>>58225529It actually was officially announced, lmao dumbass.
>>58224882how the fuck does anyone make money off this to begin with? is it just reselling sealed product?
Got all of 151 regulars, how much is it going to put me in the hole to get the other 200+ cards for a master set?
>>58225534show me a link to a fully revealed set then faggot
>>58225565>fully revealed setNot what you said originally, double nigger. Now put that goalpost where it was.
>>58225314BREAK shit ATE my full art pulls for my XY9 and XY10 booster boxes.
So was this what the queue was for?
>>58225671no, queue was for nothing that was already there

Of all things the plushies and non card things are what's absolutely never in stock at a PokeCenter
>>58225541No point if you don't get the exclusive 1/1 Geodude promo with the KFC stamp from the only KFC that was open at the 2023 Indonesian championship and was rewarded to the winner of both the TCG tournament and the fried chicken eating competition.
>>58225948that was the first one i got
>>58225541dont bother with stamped slop/promos only autists care about that
>>58225975>still butthurt about anon finishing Lost Origin Grand Master Set.>that worth gorillions knowing how UP HIGH lost origin right nowhit a nerve huh? 1 year have passed.Im sure 5 years will pass and you still will be butthurt about my grandmaster setWhat a weirdo loser
>>58225998ESL
>>58226021butthurt
>>58226268I have 1 of these cards. Can you guess which one?
>>58226277Ninetales?
>>58226298You are correct. But on further inspection, that one seems to be from 2016, so I actually don't have any of those cards. It's one of my favourite base set arts though.
>>58223527>full pricei mean yeah the mrsp is like a hundred dollars normally you have to put things lower than msrp for someone to buy it
>still posting Machoke
>>58226336Machoke is one of my favourite Pokemon. I had forgotten that until this post.
Burgerchu came in the mail today. Cute...
>>58226336Pure Kino
The regular megazard x just sold for $400
opened some packs with the GF the other day, Paradox Rift and Glory of Team Rocket. $350 down the drain but it's always a fun experience. Hadn't cracked packs since three years ago with Brilliant Stars. Do you guys want a better pic of the hits or my gf's 9/10 feet?
>>58226687>he put the knobs on his oxberg doorsOh no....
>>58226687feet are gay. show me your rocket hits
>>58226697that's actually a billy bookcase good ser.>>58226698Sure thing boss.
>>58226711Billy refers to the bookcase itself. There are two door options which are Oxberg and Hogbo. You have the Oxberg doors.
>>58226724lmao, okay Ikea bro. I kneel.
>>58226361>paying scalpersdumb nigger
A little pick up today for the binder.
>>58226336That card says Goriky, not Machoke. Anyway, still a sick Goriky card, love the pidgey cameos across 151 cards.
>>58225524>mistranslated effectsOne job lol blacklisting this site
>>58227277>Goriky??? Who?That's Machoke, lmfao
I found some base set holos in a box the other day. I have some rare ones like venesaur, charizard, blastoise, but they are not in great condition at all. What would be the best way to flip them?
>>58227367Gently with your hands.
GIVE US MORE TINK CARDSTHE ANIME DOES HER GREAT JUSTICEWE NEED MORE OF HER CARDS IT'S HER GEN
>>58227404Mega Tinkaton better be in ZA.
>>58227430real n fuckin' true. it's criminal that her statline is so shit. if any gen 9 deserves a mega, it's her.
>>58226687>>58226711How did you spend $350 on a team rocket box and some paradox rift?
>>58227264What place does it have in your binder? How are you organizing?>>58227430>>58227404I hope they do an anime inspired set during the mega era, this brat needs some cards
>>58227578If an anime set happens I will shit bricks.
>>58227347The card reads Goriky, nothing in text on that card mentions "machoke".If you want a machoke card, youll have to collect english unfortunately.
>>58227578feel like there's not a lot of actual horizon watchers? maybe the set will be worth nothing and I'll be able to rip as much as I like? nah that's cope they'd scalp the shit out of it anyways if it were ever to be made. unless it's japanese only? then the odds of it being scalped are much lower considering how hard japanese is deflating currently.
>>58227594>unfortunately?Unfortunately for you, lol. It's machoke. And any english speaking person that sees that card will also say machoke. Hell, even native japanese people, if you say "machoke" to them will understand. Sorry! Try not to get too distraught over this!
>obvious fake cards
>>58227665How do these chimps even get away with 99.8% positive feedback? Ebay lets these frauds just delete every bad review it's so dishonest.
>>58227665Every time I report this shit ebay comes back and says>YEAH OUR AI BOT CHECKED IT>NO PROBLEM HEREridiculous website but to be expected from a multi-billion dollar company. whatever, let the idiots get scammed
>buy white flare etb>remember I don't even like Gen 5What the fuck is wrong with me
If I want to start collecting, is a good idea to go to local shops and ask about bulk and anything they might be pushing out for some cheap finds to start the deck-making process? And pick up new packs as I find them/if I find them? And then once I have a base, I can begin looking for singles I may need or rarer cards I like? Does that make sense?
>>58227848That works. You could also buy from tcgplayer. My local shop has like 25c bulk. It's pretty expensive compared to online where cards are like 10c each.
>>58227848If you want bulk there are plenty of people who will give you a bunch of shit for like $20. If you want the chase cards or fancy shit go to a card show or store and get what you want. People are ripping like crazy right now and have cards they just want to get rid of.
>>58227714fomo got you
>>58227851They have sane shipping costs? I'll check it out. Do they have like sets for starters like that? Or would you have a list of suggestions good for deckbuilding?>>58227852Nice
>>58227864They don't have sets but you can buy starter decks there too. Shipping is like $1.50 or 2. You can usually get free shipping if you go above a threshold the seller sets. Usually Direct from TCGP has like a $50 minimum for free shipping which is absurd. The other sellers that are just regular joes have it set to like $5.Also you'll probably want to go to /tcg/ >>58184161 instead if you're focused on playing. This is /tcc/ which is for collecting and showing off cool cards you get. Before you start buying, try out Pokemon TCGL. They'll give you free decks to play with and you can go from there.
>>58227707I sold a card to ebay specifically listing it as damaged and clearly showing the signs of damage in pictures. The card gets bought and when it arrives buyer immediately asks for a refund because the card "is not near mint". It turns out, no matter what you do, if the product you're selling is in any way damaged, the buyer is automatically entitled for a refund or to keep the card. Shipping doesn't get refunded btw. So I get the card back and 2 days later I see a listing with my same pictures, very obviously a scam seller. I report it to ebay as fake because that is literally my card and they reply that they found no issue with it. Absolute dogshit site genuinely worse quality control than the fucking flea market
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
>>58227641>Absolute denial and copeIts alright dude, I think your shitty japanese cards that you cant read are cool. You keep collectin them Tim, and you call them whatever nick name you want kiddo.
Illustration Rares with the pokemon places ontop of an abstract background arent illustration rares.These are like, lazy as shit.
>>58228208There's a few things i'll never understand about Japanese collectors. Most aren't Japanese, can't read Japanese, and have zero ties to Japanese whats so ever. They'll say things like the cards are a higher quality and its the country of origin so its like the first edition of the card in their eyes. Which is all completely fine on the surface but the moment you push back on them even a tiny bit, the facade of being fake ass fans slowly becomes ever so obvious. They never know the Japanese names, they just equate to whatever they heard it called on the anime or whatever their introduction to Pokemon was. Theyre always trying to convince people they should be worth more, when clearly the market share for people who would like a language they dont understand is miniscule. They dont come across as fans, they come across as these people desperately trying to make their cheaper/ more affordable version of the more valuable english cards seem like a good "investment" and hope they sky rocket in price so they can feel like a sevaunt of the hobby or some shit. Its so cringe and pretentious. One, you say you like Japanese cards, but have put zero, absolutely zero effort into knowing what that card says or any appreciation into Japanese culture or language to begin with. Youve bastardized it down to "hurrdurr i like pohgeymans". Its so obvious these fake ass timmys either just want their low monetary entry cards to boom or theyre just broke ass collectors. Either way its cringe, like support local, fuck imports you traitor.
>>58226640It's worse than that actually going off that screenshot, a FAKE regular MegaZard X EX just sold for $400
>>58225541dont call it master set if you dont even bother to get all the languages
>>58228213you are right but im a huge berry fanaare there any other nice berry cards
>>58228213love this picture!
>>58228238Japanese cards have better quality standards and better texturing. English cards are mid like the countries they represent.
>>58228238>Most aren't Japanese, can't read Japanese,what is there to read?i don't play he game and i know every pokemon by name because im not some normie I collect for art quality and japanese cards provide with that.
>>58228213still not as bad as Eiscue ex
>>58228376>>58228385You're replying to the resident schizo, don't feed it attention.
Are these the best boobs in the TCG? Would like to see some alternatives if anyone thinks they've seen better
>>58228238Why would they need to know the hook names when they've told you their reason for purchasing the Japanese cards is the card quality?
>>58228526BOOBA!
>>58228559T-They don't look real
>>58228526Full art Wicke.
>>58228594Not a bad pick, looks too much like a granny for my tastes but appreciate you mentioning
>>58228238>never know the Japanese namesNot a problem. >convince people they should be worth more,If thats happening they're just trying to make money and yes they aren't really fans.>zero effort into knowing what that card says or any appreciation into Japanese culture or language to begin withThey don't have to. It's Pokemon.>theyre just broke ass collectors.Not a problem.>like support local, fuck imports you traitor.And then you show your true colors. You're just a poser trying to make a quick buck.
>>58228238>replies to himself to fuel his retarded take with a wall of text probably about money, value and appreciation Didn't read lol

>>58228868Don't they just open packs for kids to watch?
>>58228887>sell high once people realize they actually want it.>FIRST set with both Gengar and Chari-fucking-Zard>FIRST in a long time set with Charizard art on Etb>FIRST set is A VERY LONG TIME with Gengar art on Boostersmy condolences to those who will wake up too late...
>>58228847how many times are they going to say a set will flop? not even bbwf which was the best contender for flopping didn't flop. it's also the only set i want besides mega symphonia.
>>58228936i know it's probably annoying to repeat already but...IT'S A SET OF CHARIZARD AND GENGARA FUCKINGMEGA CHARIZARD X (EEEEEEEEEXXXXX) CHASE CARDANDA FUCKING MEGA GENGAR CHASE CARDHOW THE FUUCK IT WILL FLOOP?!?!?!??!?!?it's literally one of THE sets ever
>>58228943>A FUCKING MEGA GENGAR CHASE CARDThere's no Mega Gengar sorry anon. It's Mega Charizard with Gengar pre-built deck (Haunter IR). There is no Gengar SR because Gengar is not a part of the set, it's just the pre-built deck.
>>58228951there are 2 mega pokemon in each set.the first one had- Mega Lucario- Mega Gardevoir (so...two top tier pokemon)the next one gonna have Mega Gengar and Charizard - another two top tier pokemon.I'm sorry you missed on preorders, anon.
>>58228961I've already paid for my prerelease
>>58228951>no Mega GengarPokemon Company really doesn't want another psychic deck competing with Gardevoir.
Any good charities to send cards I don't really want to?

>>58228208>>58228238lmfao holy booty blasted, paragraphing in a 4channel image thread.I told you to not get too distraught over not caring about calling things the japanese name like some weeb. When I'm talking among friends, I'm using the english name.Just like when you use a french word in an english sentence. If you say "croissant" in the middle of an english sentence and say it in a complete french accent instead of the anglicized version of it, you're a pretentious douche and people look and think of you like the weird gremlin that you are. Same shit here.
>>58229143Best looking slabs though
>>58227533team rocket is $100A paradox Rift box is 250
>>58228936well one set did flop in recent times and that's JT. I still think JT is beautiful but hey it's all I get to rip at msrp because scalpers won't pick those products up lmao.
>>58229487I wish all these sets flopped so I could find them in stores. The last retail pack I found was Stellar Crown last year.
It's been three years since i unearthed this shit from my small but abandoned collection and still done nothing with it.God it's fucking cool though.

>>58229852I do like that card but I don't think her chest is superior to the other two
>>58224997Congrats anon :o>>58227665You see if >>58228208 wasn't allergic to the Japanese language he might have accidentally got scammed by that fake charizard and roped the same night.
>>58229857tru
>>58229881Look closer. Her torso is like 1/3 breasts. Compared to the Aqua girl who is like 1/6 breasts
>>58229890You're not wrong when it comes to pure size but but I feel like Team Aqua and Wicke really highlight and detail the individual breasts more whereas Zinnia is mostly just the outline of her, admittedly big, milkbags
>>58228943>A FUCKING MEGA GENGAR CHASE CARDNo one's gonna chase a regular ex, you literal retard.
If there's one thing I'll give English over Japanese, it's the set logos. Why is JP's so bland?

>>58230340not him schizo. calm down.
The last 2 ogerpons should arrive soon. We are probably never getting cards that look like these ever again.
>>58229753They really fucked over the English versions of these. The textured gold borders were revolutionary back in the day.
>>58230355Are those even Pokemon? I don't recognize any of them
>>58230319now you know the pain i felt watching retards blow there money on frankly not rare cards. while parading them around, sticking a feather in their hat and calling it macaroni. nobody cares about your black label burgerslop chink shit card. couldnt even make them holo.
>>58230441Ok, then post these supposed "rare" cards you own.

im still waiting for yankee doodle to show us his pony.
>>58230492I still have a japanese version of this from when I was a kid and I have honest to god no recollection whatsoever how I found it
>>58229547oof. I live in a kind of remote area so maybe that's why JT lives on. still the only product I'll see on the shelves and usually slowly drains away from collectors like me buying them out. still haven't gotten a fucking hit yet BTW GRR

>>58230662nah they are going to milk it and put the gengar SIR in another set.

>>58230662They'll totally make an SIR just for English, lil bro.
I'm desperate for money so I think I will finally sell all my english cards and hopefully rebuy the Japanese version next year.
>>58230876japanese collectors are just coping. people participating in the western market that have supplemented their collections with japanese cards will never understand why thats bad because japanese isnt as liquid as people think. for 20+ years english dominated the western market. no surprise. you are better off keeping english instead of replacing with japanese. historically i am right, which feels weird that i have to explain this like you are a child. because i think you are being facetious
>>58230906Go on I posted my slabs, post your rare english slabs.
>>58230906Every time someone even mentions japanese cards you start crying like a little bitch.
>>58230935>>58230939you are supplementing your collections, you even admitted yourself that they are cheaper and you want to sell the more expensive english to put money in your pocket and supplement the cheaper ones. you live in an english speaking market, if you buy cards that are in a different language you are basically saying you cant compete so you go another route. theres nothing wrong with supplementing, but i believe deeply that english in an english market would be stronger than buying another language. so if i were to supplement my collection, then i would go after MTG, or Yugioh, or some other TCG in english that the commone people would appreciate. in fact its become so funny, first people got priced out of the modern market, then then supplemented their collections with japanese. then japanese got too hot, so they started going after korean and chinese. this is like the worst magic trick ever. you are the worst magicians ever. im not fooled by your trickery. basketball collectors will supplement with football if their market is too hot, vice versa. i just dont trust cards not in english because i rely on the western market. you cane pull all your hoodoo voodoo about it being pokemon card center exclusives from japan, but in america there are tons of cards that are rare chase limited edition that will fetch high value.
>>58230972didn't read
>>58230972Ok cool. Post your rare english slabs.

>>58230972I don't care about """""value""""" or my cards increasing in price. I'm not here to maximize shareholder value. I'm here to get the art of cards that I like. If a 1st Edition wotc card is too expensive, I rather get the japanese equivalent than the unlimited english print run. I'm not going to buy a completely different game's cards lmfao are you stupid?
>>58231017thats how i feel looking at japanese cards too. >>58231020post your rare japanese ones. >>58231056stop humble bragging. we all know the people that project the most about how they are just heckin wholesome quirk chungus collectors talk out the sides of their mouths about how good their collections are.
English Slabs. Not posted.Convincing anons to buy my english cards. Successful.
Why is this nigga so deathly afraid of posting his rare english slabs?
>>58231070pre 2020 i could get full arts for 5-30 bucks all day, even chase cards would be 30 bucks. i would look over ebay listings of japanese copies of the sam card and they would be like 2-5 bucks and no one would buy it. i dont know how you got psyoped into believeing that japanese is strong in the western market, but its always been weak. for 20+ years its been weak. why would i spend 7 bucks on a chase card that goes for 40 in english? its the biggest cope ever, i am a cheapskate but japanese was always too low for my liking and would sit and collect dust. its only popular now because people have supplemented their collections. there, i just made a good arguement for why japanese sucks despite the hype. I said the same thing about the modern market and was right about how there were undervalued cards that surpassed it due to pop reports. but whatever.
you fear the day that english returns to 50-100 bucks chase cards10-50 other full artsjust wait until full art japanese goes for 10 bucks a pop for a chase card. such a joke market.
people a couple years ago would brag how japanese cost 1/5 the price of english. now people with japanese act like their shit was always rare and valuable and hard to aquire. like i said im not fooled by your hoodoo voodoo crap. i know how much shit is in a normal market, japanese was too cheap and weak for even me to look at. why risk it?
people slinging vintage japanese booster boxes for profit probably have forgotten by now that they were so cool with selling them because they were not their most prestigeous pieces in their collection and started to like the smell of japanese shit.
>>58230341Fuck you the dog is cool also
why dont some people realize some people like to collect good quality shiny cardboard, it's not about the money
>>58230906>supplemented their collectionsThis nigga making up theories lmaoJapanese cardstock and foiling are outright SUPERIOR to western crap lmao
>>58231026This was true but S&V ruined it now ours are just as bad

>>58230972>but in america there are tons of cards that are rare chase limited edition that will fetch high valueLmao such as the Greninja and the Kingdra right? Truly staples of the TCG that needed to be pumped by discords to reach 50$. Even the van Gogh Pikachu is pumped discord trash.Luckily you can rely on your English corocoro shining mew, or your English Mario Pikachu, or your English team rocket suitcase promos, or your English munch Psyduck...oh right..

>>58231392s/v is truly a gringiest eras in pokemon TCGi dont remember another one like that.s/v was absolute trash. Sword Shield also had investing cringe but it wsnt like crypto market pumps with discords and bots.I'm hoping that Mega Evolutions will be saved because now you have an army of true fans also willing to get cards because mega evolutions is a classic gimmick with old pokemon.s/v can go fuck itself. What a shitty era. shitty gimmick shitty hyp
>>58231065>talks about projecting when people mention their cards preferences and taste >writes consecutive walls of text often replying to himself to defend his position>his position is always MONEY MONEY MONEY>no one cares >b-but your collecting choices are wrong!
>>58231396>stock artwork is le badnah>>58231399I see that you traded your ETB card for jap crap.
sorry i meant to say EBT. you know i sometimes forget what its called.
>>58231356>he overpaid for japanese boxes
this what daddy last got. bottom left corner, playtester, only 105 copies ever made.
>>58231425The red Gyarados is sick, rest don't really do it for me but they're nice enough
>>58231425I took a shit this morningIt's a 1/1 ONLY EVER MADE turdWant to buy it? It's pretty rare
>>58231421>he will get cards>while americands won'tWow that japanese anon is based...
>>58231428how about this?
>>58231432did you get a celebrations 25th anniversary charizard though?
>>58231440>>58231444I like the Vileplume the best, Venusaur also very cool. I'm actually on the lookout for an Espeon too, I want this one. I don't care if it's first edition but I do want the front to be free of scratches/creases, LP with only back whitening is fine
>>58231448what about these ones? these are all in my "to grade" box. might see some good value.
i have like 250-300 cards on deck for grading.
>>58231425>>58231444>>58231454>>58231457So many cool artworks ruined by disgusting yellow borders
>>58231454Well I'm jelly of Mewtube, looks nice condition too. That's on my "one day list", I was deciding between that and Team Aqua's Kyogre and went for the Kyogre first. Starmie is also really nice but I think that's one that's just better in JP. I feel like Zekrom just some obvious upgrades recently when it comes to nice cards
>>58231464already got them, pulled myself and graded myself. i tell people i been collecting for like 8 or 9 years. lot of potential value after grading. could be like 10k-30k just for what i posted depending on how grading could be.
>>58231477Very nice! Not really a fan of keeping graded cards, I feel like if I started grading I would just sell them for a profit and buy a new raw copy to display in binders, maybe with a couple of exceptions that I'd have as ornaments on shelves. I am tempted to get the Groudon too but it kills me Courtney is 90% covered by text, the Kyogre doesn't have that problem thankfully
>>58231477>already got them, pulled myself and graded myself. i tell people i been collecting for like 8 or 9 years.whoa based...
>>58229487JT flopped because it has fucking Hop in it.
Black Bolt and White Flare kind of suck
>>58231726No real chase card and it's a small set, Phantasmal Flames is also a small set but it does have (1) chase so far at least
There hasn't been a good set since Shrouded Fable
>>58231748DR is good but otherwise I agree
Best set was Twilight Masquerade
>>58231748I liked DR a lot. Good Ethan cards and the MewTwo is sick. Didn't pull the Misty's Psyduck though, that was kind of my chase
>>58231777>MewTwo is sick.Woah don't get excessive, I like DR too but that Mewtwo is one of the ugliest ever printed. Misty's Psyduck, Ethan's Typhlosion/Ho-oh, Cynthia's Garchomp are all great, many of the others are nice too
>>58231776>4 (FOUR) copypasted ogerpons sirsNot even Carmine salvages it
>>58231788You don't like the Mewtwo? I get his dick being up in your face is kind of gay but Giovanni being in the card too being all smug kind of makes the art for me.
>>58231797this will be one of the best cards everand the best Giovanni card (i consider this giovanni card actually - not mewtwo)i didnt pull and gave up. and i wont buy it - preparing for the charizard x set.But yeah this card is awesome and i wish i had it
>>58231797Giovanni being smug is good but the proportions and angle of Mewtwo himself just look all wrong, ugly as sin and Mewtwo doesn't lack for amazing cards. Personally I love this one but Mewtube is amazing too.
>>58231857>of Mewtwo himself just look all wrong, ugly as sinyou was gaslighted by a shitty community and jewtubers.You say exact same shit as shittubers do when not pumping this card.It's not ugly and proportions are not wrong. it's just an angle.and it's the perfect lore/story card.First card: Mew in Captivity: >>58231797Second card: Mew is free: >>58231857thinking the first card is bad is fucking dumb
I feel the need to flex now
>>58231887I don't watch pokemon youtubers, I said the same thing here the day it was revealed. If you want a better "captivity" story then it doesn't get better than Mewtube, it's incredibly ugly and doesn't do him justice. Alternative, use the Full Art, same concept and Mewtwo isn't completely broken
>>58231961Eh, I don't really like that artwork. It could've been done better. Giovanni should look like an asshole, not just "heh better luck next time kiddo"
>>58231951gibGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIB>>58231961this card is badfuck off
>>58232002Still better than the the SIR from DR
