>>58642990Cute artwork. Still though, the set isn't wowing me.
>>58642996Great art!
>>58642926Nope. It was the battle boxes and Stellar Crown ETBs. Fuck this dog shit queue I was probably the first one in and tons of faggots checking out before me
WHY THE FUCK DID I JUST WASTE MY TIME AND MONEY ON FUCKING STELLAR CROWN

>>58643273I'M DIPPING
>>58643116I do actually quite like the noctowl, maybe I can try to flip the stamped one for something nice at a shop
Picked up today, I thought the spinarak was the ditto version but I am big dumb.
>>58642598uoh cunnycat
I just got into collecting and desu all the best cards are full art cards that cost <$10 for the most part. There's some shit like the roaring moon and magikarp that are obviously really cool but too expensive that I might """""""chase"""""""" if I ever in my lifetime see a pack at the store but in the meantime I'm happy buying the japanese cards and enjoying the cute art.
>>58643782Japanese AR are the way to go, until you have a binder full of them and realize that $5 after $10 you have spent hundreds anyway, like me.But at least we have it better than Englishfags, for which each good looking IR is $20 to $50 minimum.
Real (left) vs fake (right)Excluding the bottom border watermark which is the first clue you should always check, side by side the difference is obvious, right has washed out colors and the silhouette of eevee is slightly misaligned and creates a white border. Also font is slightly different.BUT without the real one as reference I believe it's not that obvious, and they are getting gud with the holo, it's identical to the real one, no more vertical rainbow glares.Beware of chink AR exclusives, the ones that have no texture are dangerous.
>>58643849It's chinese, it's fake on principle regardless
>>58643849Also just noticed they got the wrong block: eevee is the only AR in block F while the other eeveelutions are block E
why must rares exceed the current number in cards? like 251/224 for example. i don't know what set, but full arts are worth getting, but then you have hoarders and scalpers, and even worse factory workers taking it for themselves to make money for a living.
>>58643273fuck you logan paul
>>58644038>why must rares exceed the current number in cards? like 251/224 for exampleBecause its suppose to be 'secret' and somewhat hidden to the rippers. It add to the fun of ripping and discovering something that are not suppose to be there.
>>58644063who decides what cards go in that pack?
>>58644063That was cute 20 years ago but we have the internet now and everyone knows how many cards are in a set before it even releases. I'd rather them appeal to people's ocd nowadays and have the final card in a set simply be x/x instead of x+y/x.
>>58643910Chinese cards are fine but honestly, if they really want to have any market after tcg hype is over and done with they need to start cracking down on fakes. With the two eevee cards anon posted, i geniunely cannot tell which is the fake one without a real one as reference. It really fucking sucks and I hope sellers over there understand that this can and will destroy their market
we should go back to having 1-3 secret cards only
Personal grail arrived yesterday.
shiny set from japanese d/p and b/w is kino. low population as well....
>he bought
>still grading cards
>>58642590Asked in wrong thread.I got a Surging Sparks Elite Trainer Box drop from a pokemon vending machine.My nephews have been talking about how they check them all the time for stuff.Will they be excited about this box or is it ho hum and give it to the littlest and go buy some boxes from fucking scalping local card stores for Christmas?
>>58642905What are prices for non-Eng/Jap cards? Generally cheaper? I only have a Korean Shauna and a Korean Tsareena.
>>58644813usually lower than the EN/JP ones, but the chink cards are more valuable thanks to the exclusives they sometimes get.
>>58644818I don't see much over here other than En/JP. Guess maybe in European circles you'd get a shit ton of languages.
>>58644808It sounds like they just want cards in general so just give them something cheaper if you want to keep or rip it
>>58642724This kind of deflection attempt never looks good for the person doing it. You only end up sounding more mad.
>>58644901Good advice. I will accumulate more card packs for Christmas and just hand off this box to the littlest one to start his own for some Thanksgiving excitement.
>more 151 promos
>look at usual trusted places for buying>theyve all given up the charade and just openly rip you off now>cant even buy stuff even if you wanted tobust when?
>>58644063It loses its charm when a set has 100 secrets
>>58644088Me. I specifically moved mega Gengar from phantasmal flames to the next set just to fuck with that anon who was spamming the threads last month.
>>58644841On cardmarket sorting by price always gives you Italian Spanish French and German first, partly because English has higher perceived value (retarded filo-american mentality), and partly because UK being cucked from EU means you'll have to pay customs to buy from UK sellers and, along with the high shipping costs, it defeats the purpose of cardmarket being the cheapest EU marketplace with a good reputation compared to shit like Vinted or Facebook.
>>58645337Thankyou for posting these exclusive promos. I never get to see them here in Australia.
Any >London bros recommend best place to buy Japanese singles? I've been using cardmarket but because of the shipping thing it usually means fishing around for a seller who has multiple cards I want at non-gouged prices. Maybe there's a better way.

>>58645646Just go on a holiday to Japan. Nigger loving stores in this country charge absurd amounts for anything
>>58645337I-is that GENGAR from KANTO??? Drawn by KOMIYA-SENSEI???? With an exclusive COSMOS HOLO pattern like in the CLASSIC VINTAGE WOTC ERA??????
Did somebody say KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. My favourite pokeyman is Charlizard. I was a huge fan back in 1996 when pokeymon first came out and Charlizard was the best. I saw that pokeman was getting popular again and the cards were worth something so i bought a booster pack. How much do i need to open for charlizard?
>>58645882>>58645890it's an objectively cool card and I respect gengar enjoyers 999x more than charitards.>>58645855the stores do seem to be full of tweenage mandem in nike techs - it's pretty offputting. can't wait to go to a card show and meet a bunch of pedophiles doing trades for 30% value and scalping packs after a 25 pound ticket :)))

>>58647425It doesn't say tera pokemon are getting illustration rares. It's probably just reprints.
>>58647415Yes but the jews at google have disabled the possibility to share a map anonymously, so anon's links would display his name and email address, so anon will not be posting them.
>>58647473could you try this it should give a json list with the locations for each of your lists https://www.nickgracilla.com/posts/export-google-maps-saved-places/
>>58646911whats crazy? i pulled dozens of holos from base as a child and placed them in my binder directly and now i wouldnt grade any of them. the best ones would be PSA 7s i bet. compared to a large scale mcdonalds marketing stunt with everyone placing their cards directly in semi rigids and sending them in makes this as one would excpect. especially after van gogh
>>58647502I managed to export the .kmz archives, they can be imported in your own mymaps or you can open the .kml file inside and parse it like an XML.Now, I don't believe 4chan wouldn't ban me for posting a link to a zip, so...files[DOT]catbox[DOT]moe/pkkeze[DOT]zipYou'll have to take my word for it not being a virus or dolphin porn.Happy card hunting (if it works).

DR kinda just came and went huh? Dunno why they'd do that, seemed like a pretty popular set
Just realized Tomokazu Komiya has only done like 5 full art cards. That's fkn insane. They're the best artist by far. All their old work is amazing. One of the few artists who brings the Pokemon to life.
>>58649798I don't think the Nips like the mildly psychedelic stuff

>>58650084>Porygonkinorino
>>58649930Whats wrong? Japanese quality on english bsck design. Thats pretty good. So long as they keep getting exclusives they wont die and they wont stop because TPC wants china money
>>58650320japanese back is better
>>58650320Is Japanese quality a good thing? Is it better than the International sets?
>>58650341Yeah Japanese cards are made with some like patented printing process that makes them higher quality especially when it comes to texturing. On cards without texture it's not so noticably better (except that centering tends to be worse on average)
>>58650341Yes. I should find a video example as well

I got the feraligator, mew and black lotus off aliexpress. The feraligator is a little darker than my other cards and I feel the holographic bits should be a bit shinier, the Mew was plenty shiny but seemed a little fuzzy around the edges of the decals. The black lotus also seems a little fuzzy, the color is also a bit off from my other older mtg cards but I don't have any alpha/beta to compare it to.

I wonder how many people are going into debt buying these cards. Everything gets bought up and a lot of people buy everything they can find at every chance they get.
my mega charilard and some more cards arrive tomorrow.
>>58651625Unironically holding onto ETBs is the only thing to do with them. Yeah it's shitty scalper behavior but the card game itself kind of sucks

>>58652140Can't wait for more of these niggers to crash and burn their way out of TCG. So many dumb faggots if this card can get a 10 or if it's well centered. Imagine being so much of a retard you don't know how to pre-grade your cards

>>58652498sick psa 8 modern filler, dude
You know PSA would probably make a lot of money if they started opening shops you could go to and drop off your cards instead of just sending them in. More collectors would do it
>>58652782they literally do that now, just drop off your cards at gamestop. if you dont grade a lot just dropping off at gamestop is infinitely cheaper than buying the $200 psa membership and then paying for each card and then paying for shipping to and back from psa. gamestop doesnt charge you for the shipping either since they mass submit cards.
>>58652818Oh, I didn't know GameStop was just $20 to grade. Does it take a while?
>>58652838It's 95 days, please don't be a gradetard...
>>58652843I mean I don't play the card game, I just collect so
