it’s interesting because every card has been scanned, documented and easily discoverable with the click of a button or a couple of words into google. Things only become real to these people when they see them on tiktok or whatever
>>
>>58812628
ive noticed from ebay live auctions and what ive seen people buying at card shows that most people only want like base set, neo, jungle etc or modern, people do bid on the middle era cards but theres nowhere near as much interest unless its a charizard even though so many of them look so good, ive managed to get good deals tonnes of times on dp/adv/e series but if its the old stuff or modern price always goes way above market kek

I wanna grade some of my cards, which company should I grade with? Ideally I want a true representation of the condition while maintaining the most value long term.
>>
>>58812976
If you absolutely have to grade, go for a company that actually gives you a detailed explanation on why your card got the grade it got.
>>
>>58812976
PSA is the only one with value
>>
>>58812981
>Well uh you see there was this speck of white on the edge of the reverse side and thus it is not perfecto, so I'm gonna have to give you reduced marks an devalue the item.
>>
>>58812976
Grade them yourself, all grading companies are being exposed as scammers so by the first half of 2026 having a PSA slab will be equivalent to having a heavily damaged card.

>Well uh you see it was slightly left of centre according to my gravitron so I'm gonna have to deduct two points and give you a near mint 8, hoping you'll understand. I am highly professional and qualified
>>
>>58812976
if you want a fair grade then go for one of the ones that actually give you a detailed report with scans etc. If you actually want value long term the only one is PSA. They are fair in their grading 90% of the time unless it's a particularly valuable card they need to keep the pop low.
>>
>>58813006
That's literally what grading is. What is the point of having a grading tier if you want YOUR cards to score as a perfect 10 even if they have by your admission flaws?

Not sure what you're talking about. E-series cards and gen3 cards are some of the most expensive things out there for what they are. Trying buying a reverse holo from expedition, aquapolis, or skyridge and look at their prices. The price of non-holo common cards from skyridge will make you throw up.

The stamped holo/reverse holo cards from the ex-era are also very expensive for what they are. You can only buy a few stamped holo common cards before you're above $100 already. And it just gets wilder the higher the rarity.
>>
>>58812747
>>58812749
What exactly is "cool" about this? It's just something you haven't seen much of before. Or else it's just a desaturated card. I much prefer the vivid colors intended by the illustrator.

they are expensive because there is less supply and they are less desirable than other sets. i worry they will become far more desirable if there is a re release because it will drum up more interest in those eras
>>
>>58813823
I like it when things are white and get upset when they are darker towards black, so a white eeveeloution is very interesting. I don't really see it at first as a flareon but a new type

Anyone in the UK know where to buy cards? I want to get back into collected and used to get them from Toys R Us as a kid but those are gone now. Some supermarkets sell them but never the solo booster packs, always one of the overpriced bundles whether it's a tin or one booster in a pack with a coin and a promo card. I could get them delivered but I can't afford to move out yet and I don't want my parents to know.

N00b question but what is the difference between "MEGA Start Deck 100 Battle Collection" and a regular set? Will these cards go down in price? I got burned last year buying that stupid Meowth in Japanese right before it got released for cheap in English. That stupid purchase and a lost order have really made me go sour on the hobby

Unironically, this is why i’ve been buying so many Cradilys for my fossil-themed binder. Only card I need now from the Gen 3 sets is the EX, stamped LM lileep, and stamped fossils.

Local newsagents or Smyths. They usually keep the packs at the checkout. They have random restocks so check now and then or just go in the morning when a new set drops. Some newsagents just let you buy the entire half booster boxes sealed. Managed to get Surging a few weeks ago and this is all I got 10 packs.

Shitposting aside I do need to organize my shit better and its starting to get untenable. I have base set getting mixed with circa 2025 carss.
How does the average collector here organize your cards.
For storage personally I use 7.62 ammo cans becuase they are cheap and the Amerifart bases here in weeb land have tons of em.

What were the other lewd misty cards?
I've recently gotten into collecting lewd anime cels (pre digital era).
>>
>>58815849
Not as lewd as Misty's tears sadly, but her tummy is normally shown in every card, and the first gym series has a couple more.

Store your binders like this if you use ring binders. You can even buy nice sideloading pages if you don't like toploading ones. Stiff binders with a zip are best for this.

I was about to tell you you shouldn't store folders flat like that till I realized you probably don't have gravity defying boxes and chairs.
>>
>>58816476
>>58816702
I was under the impression this is bad because gravity / jostling when taking and putting folders back causes cards to slip out of slots because the slots are facing gravity
>>
>>58816751
the alternative is those rings slowly bend your cards. Most of my early sets have those bends from just sitting there cause the pages buckle. It's why I now don't use anything with rings.
>>
>>58816763
I double sleeve my fav cards so they don't move at all even if I shake the nice side loading binders binders. The only issue I've had with double sleeving is that you can overfill a binder a lot easier since there's those extra layers of plastic. The good thing about ring binders is that you can move pages around.
>>
>>58816803
IMHO that's more of a specific binder issue, I have a couple of DS 360 binders that are full with double sleeved cards and they don't feel overfilled at all.
>>
>>58816807
yeah, most my binders are the 504 card guardian ones and one is 3/5 full of double sleeved cards and it isn't overfilled. I feel like 30 full pages is enough for any ring binder.

You're supposed to dry your hands after washing. Also, toss the moldy cards and the binder they were in. That shit spreads like wildfire, and will do so in small enough specks you will not see how far it's gone.

What is this question?
Are you asking if its either holo 1st edition or just reprints holo?
Either way, there should be 1st edition print on the lower left of the card. Can't see shit from the glare, so I can only assume its unlimited.

>>58818409

a normal holo or first. I wasn't sure, there is nothing in the bottom left. I am sorry for the bar lighting

Yours is unlimited then, pic is 1st ed.
Japanese is a bit odd when it comes to 1st vs 'unlimited' as most of the time the reprints run is usually shorter thus making it rarer.

But that doesn't make yours more valuable tho, since it comes from a set that nobody give a shite about.

If you're just a casual collector.... hey, maybe it's just time for you to find a different hobby. Why complain every single day? That's no way to live. Because all of us that are enjoying the hobby by pumping and scalping, that are successful in our businesses , in our careers, you know, people that can afford packs, we don't care. We're not listening to you. You can scream in all caps all you want, no one cares. Get out and work more hours to buy that 150$ seismitoad.
>well but I shouldn't have to work more hours!
Maybe you shouldn't, but maybe you need to. Life is not fair. It doesn't work the way you think it "should", and sometimes you have to get out of this mindset and say "hey, this sucks, but but this is what I gotta do". That card is NOT going down. It's the next magikarp. Invest NOW!!

English base, jungle, fossil and legendary collection have a different, higher quality holo. Vintage Japanese also suffer from holo bleed. Japanese late mid era have really egregious printing dots. But Japanese overall has English well beat.
