You can keep repeating it as much as you want, mr contrarian, it will not make it true.
I expressed how I didn't like those cards and you immediately felt threatened and resorted to "post cards!!!1!" instead of simply moving on or pulling a De gustibus non est disputandum which would have closed the argument in your favor. I posted my card which is more tasteful and gorgeous than anything you posted and immediately went into another meltdown. It says a lot that you can only repeat "you're a tastelet" because you cannot even find anything worthwhile to defend about those cards.

Listen kiddo, we were talking about how dogshit Komiya cards were, next time you ask for someone to post cards then preface it with "post cards that are not in toploaders, are raw, are worth less than mine and will not make me cry like a little bitch"
If you do it this way dicussion will move more smoothly. Next time I'll also teach you that when you asks someone to posts cards because you can't come up with a counterargument to someone else's, it makes you look like a brat.

Japanon help me shop on mercari, am I still not able to directly shop on mercari without japanese phone and address? Is going through buyee mandatory for international sales? Are shipping costs high? I don't care if it takes a month to deliver.
Also how to search on mercari, can I input the english pokemon name or do I have to wiki the japanese name? Is "name + number in the set" enough to filter all the relevant results like on eBay?
Misty's tummies for the trouble.
>>
>>58804271
Just search by the number in lower left only.
191/173
104/094
And so on, that is sufficient to find the card
>>
>>58804271
yeah you need to use a proxy site i prefer buyee but dejapan is also popular, postage pricing depends on what you use i use the buyee air delivery option which uses dh or fedex and arrives in a few days its normally like 40-60 gbp. ems is sometimes cheaper but takes longer to arrive and is less smooth throguh customs in my experience and yeah i normally search the japanese pokemon name and the card number, theyre not always listed like that though i hardly had any results for reshiram 22 but lots for reshiram shiny collection or レシラム シャイニーコレクション you can figure out keywords to used based on other listings too, of the sites buyee supports yahoo flea market, yahoo auctions and mercari are the best imo mercari is normally cheaper than auctions. surugaya is a good sites also but you cant buy from them on buyee i use dejapan for surugaya

I'm probably gonna sell my Unlimited english base set & jungle instead of completing it. Looks like it's worth around $1,800 AUD but most the holos are damaged / heavy played.
Just can't justify spending another thousand getting fossil

Best Egawa for me is this 0.20 bulk Tauros, or the AR Espathra or Dondozo.
If you're looking for more expensive cards I'd go for Moltres. Not a fan how how small and distorted Giratina looks in the gold card, unless you have the complete set to showcase.

oh weird last time i got cards from them they repackaged into a small box maybe just depends on who there is packing
>>
>>58807145
no idea why but japanese cards look so flat. it's something about their golden border compared to the eng yellow one. It makes them pop out less.
>>
>>58807301
>tries to take picture of envelope

huh?
>>
>>58807496
English thick pastel yellow border goes along well with the bright pastel monochrome body of the card, whose color is carefully chosen to make the pokemon's type immediately recognizable at a first glance. Golden border doesn't go well with pastel, and it looks more like a dark washed out yellow. Same for modern silver borders that just look like a colorless grey against the colorful body of the card.
For the same reason, yellow border on full arts looks like trash, without the colorful pastel body i'ts better to have a more neutral border, or you risk having a lone bright yellow that clashes with whatever color scheme the artwork is trying to convey.

I mean, the fact that outside of full art cards nobody cares about modern cards says a lot about their quality. Remove those SIR from modern sets and nobody would care about any modern set, meanwhile vintage ones were good all around bar from a few stinkers like >>58807880

The problem with modern cards is the gray border and layout. (on top of sets being too big)
The actual art of the carts, aside from the cherrypicked ones that existed in every era, has stayed great all around.
>>
>>58807912
Gray border works for illustration rares, they should have split the colors and left yellow for bulk, or made illustrations borderless.
>>
>>58807747
true, my silver gains have been insane the past few weeks. still not outperforming my pokemon investments, but its honestly close.

>>58807935
that would make you able to spot IR from the packet with a flashlight to the back of the sealed pack. The 2 packs I opened I tried that and I was able to easily see inside, if only those had yellow borders I would've been able to spot them.

>>58806976
Too bad they dumped rainbow glitter sand all over that nice art
>>
>>58807999
no, they are the superior holo variant. shitty ass cosmos or variants of the standard holofoil obscure the background and make card collecting all about holos and money. meanwhile reverses highlight the actual card art and give you an additional chase of scratchless mint condition reverses. for the most part casuals and investors only care about holos or full arts. while true collectors prefer reverse holos and non holos.

>EX Hidden Legends to EX Legend Maker changed it up by having a unique alternate foil
>EX Delta Species to EX Power Keepers also had their reverse holos done differently depending on set and whether the card is a Delta Species or not
>the aforementioned EX series reverse holos are also known as parallel foils and are so far the only sets to deviate the reverse placement for these alternate foils

Only reason is that they are in the spot where reverse holos were traditionally located within the pack. Which is a really shit and lazy reasoning, lmfao.

They are set stamp holos.
