traded Lugia V, Gold Giratina and a bunch of JP shit for this
>>59109920are you happy?
I saw this thread way to late.I fucked up and bid on this card from the wrong seller. can someone outbid me and take this off my hands?https://www.ebay.com/itm/406791424918
>>59109925I think I am, since I didnt have to give up my DR Mewtwo SIR. I am an Umbreon collector, and this was one I thought Id never be able to get. But there are some that will always be unattainable like Gold Star Umbreon and Karens Umbreon
>>59109920The kawayoo lugia is 10x nicer than this, if that’s what you traded. You’re an idiot.
>>59110046i care about Umbreon and Ho oh much more than Lugia thoughever. And I was never going to find another store that was going to give me $2k in store credit on the spot for all my obscure JP IRs and full arts
>>59109920>Engl*sh

>>59110092kawayoo umbreon also mogs that umbreon
>still buying physical
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 80$ drowzee.>>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 Umbreon. Invest NOW!!
>>59110278one day a guy like this will go into a wrong alley and get murdered, that's life baby
>>59110278Why is he wearing a hat inside?
>>59110583he's retarded
>>59110583>he doesn't knowhat wearers are coping because they're balding
>>59110608I know, i just wanted to be funny
>>59109739opening shit is part of the funif you only ever buy singles you can't keep a crusade or gypsies from mtg so you can laugh at nigger companies

>>59111043retard heredo people really get rich thanks to pokemon cards?
>>59109920I had an Umbreon too in my old pile from when I was a kid.Traded it for 100 bucks at a video game store. Was pretty cool.
>>59111050High 'value' economics is just circlejerking with monopoly money. Nobody ever converts the assets into currency because it's never actually worth as much as they claim. People making money off cards are going to be your casual resellers going to card shows or scalpers selling new set items for triple msrp on ebay to desperate fools. The retards that pretend they're rich because they claim their psa 7 charizard is worth 20k will never have 20k. Nobody will buy it, and they won't even attempt to sell it. But one day they might trade it with a second retard for a 21k moonbreon and then they'll pretend they're even richer than before.
I spent over 3k on pokemon cards in the last month fuck

What I picked up from a local con today
>>59111575Do you have a lot of other Gengars?
>>59111585Yeah
lilliefag retard hereI think today I did the worst financial decision of my life...went to a local event in my city and only one guy had this lillie card and I got it for $125I don't know if that was good or not. The price on tcgplayer was around that price as wellI just got tunnel vision...
>>59111662Well? Post them.
You still participate in this shit market?
>>59111718One day I will, they are sort of all over the place in different binders.
>>59111704Better than me paying 130 for captain Pikachu
>>59110196well yes, I already had that one for years
>>59111777that's a big black cat
>>59111704Japanese is the same price for way better texture.
>>59112129>Japanese is the same pricenot if you include shippingI live in a shitty country and in the shittiest city so shipping would be like an extra $40
>>59109920DEX Ho-Oh is awesome dude
>>59111704Nice pick up, Lilliebro. That's not a bad price for her but you can usually haggle a little bit more. Inspect the card to make sure there's no imperfections like scratches, whitening, or off center printing. Even if it is minor, if you bring it up, they vendors will usually drop the price down.>>59112129Eh, in general that's true, but Lillie jp cards are usually more expensive. English is definitely the cheaper route if you're a Lilliefag.
looking to buy a single over the web what should i look for when asking for pics?
>>59112368>That's not a bad price for her but you can usually haggle a little bit moreI actually did, I got it for $10 cheaper than originally was (might not be that much but still)>Inspect the card to make sure there's no imperfectionsI should have done this because I noticed that there's some black ink/dirt on the clefairy that I just can't unsee anytmoreI don't know if that's normal or it's because of the owner touching it too mucheverything else looks great tho
>>59111704No regrets, only Lillie gets. I should have gotten the Lillie SIR from my local shop. I'll see her again.
>>59112394I learned the inspection shit too late on some other expensive cards. I'm much more careful now. You can definitely point them out and check out comparable prices, telling them it's Lightly played or whatever. Good sellers will agree and find a reasonable price.
>>59112423yeah, I'll be more careful in the future. This was just a learning experience
>>59111149What information are you basing this opinion on?
>>59111704Here's a piece of advice that 99% of the retards buying Pokemon cards don't realize: TCGplayer prices are all inflated by at minimum 13% because that is the fees that TCGplayer charge. And then on top of that for a card of that value TCGPlayer requires the seller to ship with tracking which is another $5-10.So for that card selling on TCGplayer would net 125-13%-5=~104. If you had offered $110, everyone wins. You save a little money, they get a little more money and saved from the hassle of having to ship cards.The only real issue is that like I said 99% of the retards buying cards don't realize this and the seller may still say no because he knows that he could just sell the card for the full $125 to some idiot later in the day.It works best during the last day/hours of an event when it's highly likely no one else is going to offer anything.
the fuck?
>>59111777Umbreon is gay.
>>59112923I'm gay for umbreon tho
>>59112484That matters much more for higher value cards. There's so many under $5 though.
Should I sell my duplicates that are worth like $400 to get more cheap cards I want to collect?
>>59113023That's an easy yes.
>>59111729lmfaomakes me feel better about my vintage 9s
>>59112484Are you the kind of person who believes that the "buyer's premium" or taxes on an auction is not included in the price? lmfao
>>59112425damn that's a nice card
>>59113150Yes, there's a difference between what the cards value is and how much you pay for the card. Middle man fees are not part of the cards value, but they are part of how much you pay for the card. But only when the middle man is actually involved. Paying middle man fees when doing business without the middle man is low IQ behavior.
>>59113148yep. nothing is more sobering than compiling all the PSA 10's across every set in PSA's database to show how miniscule the population reports are on earlier sets compared to modern. you would hope people would grow a brain one day and stop giving money to sellers that dont deserve it for cards that are frankly not worth it in the bigger picture. but hey, thats just me raining on people's parades. because im a bad guy like that. it aint easy being evil. you got to do a lot of counting and bar graphs and shit.
How does this make you feel?I personally got shafted on my pulls.
>>59114040I haven't opened any perfect order pack yet
>check 151 ETB price available in my country>picrel>1106% msrp>$650 fucking dollars>in a shitty countryWhy can't this entire investing and scalping shit rope itself.
>>59114076too late for that anon
>>59114084how about we start roping them on the streets
>>59114085I mean, that sounds great but you will have to deal with the consequences
>>59114076>Not in rotation setOk buddy.
>>59114089Chaos Rising is not in rotation yet and it's already +60% MSRP here
first pull
>>59114160why does it look curved?
>>59114162no idea some others online were like this too
>>59114162Probably because anon put in a sleeve with a card in it that was already curved like that and the sleeve took its shape
>>59114162 >>59114168 >>59114180jap cards always warp like this newbies
>>59114187i should be able to unwarp it with some pressure like with other cards

Mail day!
I found a card like this in my older artist brother's shoebox he left when he moved out. Idk anything about pokemon, is this worth anything?
>>59114441I will give you $3.50
>>59114441I can give you a bubble gum for it
>>59114472>>59114478damn, I thought I had something rare. Thanks for info I guess. Gonna check the rest of the box for a charizard or something
I would like to say I have pulled 100 packs of Journey Together, and 75 packs of Ascended Heroes and no Iono's Bellibolt ex. Not even the double rare version.
>>59114603I got one from the first booster box I opened, I'll sell it to you for three fiddy
>>59114619I have a playset of the Journey Together SIRs. I just think that it's insane.
>>59114441>Let me ring up my friend, Logan Paul, who's a Pokémon card expert to get his opinion on this
>>59114622yeah it truly isI remember opening a bunch of obshitian flames ETBs just to build my zard deck but I ended up buying the singles as I didn't even get one
>>59114603I know pulling it yourself is part of the fun but have you considered buying it instead?
>>59114652isn't chumlee kind of an expert too? why call someone else?
>>59111775Based, planning on grabbing more meloetta cards
how come a sealed booster of some old stuff is worth 1000$ but the singles are cheaper? Dumbfuck market
Time for Jack to let er rip(Only one of those pokemon center boxes is sealed, I just wanted the other ones/sleeves and shit for collection purposes minus the promo card)
>>59115173You're paying to gamble.
Does anyone here collect posters?

if only I had infinite money to buy new packs and post cool pulls...
Passed up on this dogshit copy a year ago and just bought a "damaged" one today in 10x better condition. Sure the scratches are noticable on it but besides that and 2 tiny indents it looks great
>>59115368is your pic the one you bought or the one you passed up?
>>59115368Brutal
>>59115384Pic related is the one I bought. No creases so I'm happy.>>59115403some sucker ended up buying it a few months later.
>>59115420>Pic related is the one I bought. No creases so I'm happy.oh okay, that does look better>check price>$500 cardholy shit... what was the price for the damaged one?
>>59115432>$500 cardthat's the JP version since they are all pedophiles in love with Gardevoir. The English one is only $70 but I paid $20 for mine. I also got this for $30 but this one sadly had a crease on the top left corner.
>>59115174I was told symphonia is shit
>>59115481oh I seeyeah, I've checked again and found the english onegrats anon
>>59115482It is shit and as I'm about to post the pics of the cards that showed up, I ended up buying the gardevoir sar and mur anyways I only just got back into pokemon a month ago so I made some dumb purchases
>>59115490>so I made some dumb purchasesyou and me both, broand I only started this month...
>>59115490>>59115496Started this month too. What fuck ups did you do?
>>59115509just spending money I shouldn't really spend because I need it to pay for something else I bought back in januaryI don't have a proper job so my income is very limited
>>59115509This is most of my purchases I think unless I put some cards into my Nobeta card binder Also I ended up buying FIVE mega symphonia boxes for some fucking reason despite buying the sar and MUR afterwards
>>59115615I'm jealous of your Lillies...
>>59115509I spent over 3k on pokemon cards and I'm planning to spend more since I don't want to upgrade my PC due to the ram crisis Gonna buy some more acerola, gardevoirs maybe a darkrai, rayquaza kyogre and groudon later this year
>>59115615Nice Roxanne and AcerolaI'm considering getting one modern box for cheap making that my fuck up
If we're taking about fuckupsI fucked up by spending over $70 on whatnot auctions Got that gold solgaleo and lunala out of it for cheap though (shipping from the US made it not worth it)
You ever fapped to one of your cards?
>>59115775mistys tears :)
anyone here own any low pop vintage psa 10s?
>>59115496>>59115509You guys are unironically the same kind of marks that i'm offloading $650 premium collections and $700 ETBs on rn. >post overpriced/inflated sealed product>get messaged to meet>at the meetup, think to myself "damn this is just a kid (mid20 year old) and he's spending $700 on a single ETB, he must be serious">how long have you been into Pokemon for?>oh I just got into it 5 months agoLike it's whatever, it's your money spend it how you want. But maybe dropping literal thousands without the proper research and experience isn't the best idea. This isn't specifically about you guys, i'm just astounded by the amount of people with little to no market sense that have been coming into the hobby
Alola girls sex
Gaijin who spend hundreds on English Etbs etc are retarded Japanese is where it's at duh
>>59115931I don't understand buying ETBs if you don't even play the game and just collect
Thoughts on the XY era? Aside from pokekyun I think most of the sets from that era are pretty unremarkable. A bunch of the chase cards like rayquaza use that ugly cg art and the full arts are still mostly lifeless
>>59115965I hate the games and that generation too much in general to even care
>>59115615Excellent collection. Excellent taste. I adore that new Iris card by Kuroimori, she made Iris older and into a fantasy princess, it's beyond gorgeous. One of the best trainer cards I've ever seen.
I'd really bad at storing cards. Seems like they're all warping
>>59115862I only really got into into it in July, but I've been doing mainly singles and trying to check condition before purchase. Or if it's sealed, it's gotta be MSRP or just slightly above. As they say, you really do need to have a plan in what you collect. I collect female trainers, Gardevoir, Froslass, Tsareena, Pheromosa, Reshiram, Zeraora, Serperior, Glaceon, and also the gold stadium cards. I think those are neat. Or just others that catch my eye, like the Tapu Koko SIR.Pokemon becoming a literal art gallery is just such a neat thing.
Is picrel a good product?
>>59116400Modern has been shit since DR if you ask me
>>59115965The only era with good English texture
>>59115965best era
>>59116403In what sense?
>>59116414Just a lot of ugly cards, a lot of new Pokemon just aren't interesting. Everyone just wants SARs, at least when it comes to collecting. I dunno, they should slow it down.
>>59116421That doesn't answer my question
I bought some cards. :)
>>59116629Based Japanese Chad
>>59116409 >>59116410I'm buying these next, I just bought this >>59116629
>>59116400Why not just buy the Japanese versionIt's cheaper, comes with two booster boxes and cute acerola merch
>>59116629Based mega starmie enjoyer
>>59115862I'm looking to spend 100$ on a card and around 200$ on a booster box so i know my research is lagging. Although the market seems to be so fucked that the price is whatever. I was looking to get some of those for nostalgia sake and bragging rightsI'm all ears if there's any suggestion you want to give when it comes to researching>ETBLooks seriously like a trash buy
Nothing exciting this year coming out except 30th which is going to be scalped to hell. Why isn't Pokemon printing to meet demand or are there just that many people out there now buying stuff compared to 5 years ago.
I bought 100 of these as a joke for $2ea and now they’re going for $20. When do obscure singles plateau in price after release? Now sure how much longer to hold or if I should grade them.
>>59117111Printing to meet the demand is never a good idea. Does the japanese pokemon center ship those 30th outside of japan?
>>59117149>Printing to meet the demand is never a good ideaAre you new or something? Sub $100 booster boxes were a thing forever until very recently. The returns on buying a $250 booster box at release are garbage.
>>59117140i would kms if i was a grader and received a stack of the same card and had to grade it 100 times
>>59117162It's not about the price or what you and me want. If you create to meet the demand you will end with surplus that does not sell. It's about balance and making sure you sell your product
>>59117140It’s a cool card. Idk about grading that many, the price increases on modern singles are literal pump and dump discord trannies
>>59116738Where? I couldn't find it in Amazon JP
>>59117172Pokemon TCG only makes money on initial sales to distributors slightly below MSRP, they don't get anything from secondary market. Vendors are forced to buy a certain amount from distributors and Pokemon company is never left holding supply. There's literally no reason to print to demand which they have ALWAYS done and never worried about balance until recently like I said. There is no reason kids and players shouldn't be able to go to Walmart and get some packs any day of the week. And it's fuckign retarded new sets literally never dip below 2x MSRP. Pokemon is just facilitating scalpers at this point while hurting their fans.
thoughts on the japanese stamp box? shit's going for $4k now which is crazy. Is this next Scream Munch or Poncho?
>>59117217>There's literally no reason to print to demand which they have ALWAYS done and never worried about balance until recently like I saidPlaying the devil's advocate here by saying that when pokemon tcg was launched it was not unusual for it to not sell and it had little to do with the printing amountIf everyone is making money from the product and only a few customers are affected why would and should they care?How many console or computer games did you want when you were a kid and were not able to get them because it wasn't some blockbuster shit? Next you will tell me that books, movies, games and all that should have a constant supply to meet demand and get surplus inventory after the demand was already met>>59117227Beautiful pikashit
>>59117227This, munch, ponchos, Mario cards etc. all absurdly priced now. I will be going all in on the next promo similar to these items.
>>59117238Only thing I remember back during the TCG Boom was that it cost $85 for a Yugioh box. I never actually paid attention to Pokemon card prices.Regardless, Pokemon is print to demand, but they do limited print runs. I've had no issues getting any of the past few releases. People seem to not understand that Pokemon Center preorders are a thing (Also literally bought 25 packs of Perfect Order at a Seven Eleven for $7/ea this weekend).>But $7 is above MSRPThe system will eventually correct itself. Buy cards at the prices you think they are worth.
>>59117270>Pokemon Center preorders are a thingThere never used to be buy limits and there was no virtual queue that you had to enter within 10 seconds of it opening to have a chance of buying off PC.
>>59117346There never used to be roving gangs of middle-aged working poors trying to flip cards and people who get paid to open packs on stream either.
>>59116629Based af
>>59116629>shipping>freewish that were me...
>>59116738Because it's not cheaper or even the same set
>>59117410HENCE, PRINT TO DEMAND
>>59117666The roving gangs don't play the TCG. TPC prints to demand of the TCG players based on Play Event turnout not the schizos.
>>59117666You're right. Print me some Conan the Barbarian trading stickers from back in the day. I'm demanding it after all
i was about to buy a card on cardmarket listed as NM and then in the picture under the lights i see a long dent, like someone drew over it with a pen

Mail day! uwu
why is evolving skies so stagnant
>>59117971You wouldn't go on the internet and pretend someone else's cards were yours
>>59117971overhyped chinkshit design
first and last time I buy from tcgplayer ever again. they let chinese cards be categorized under Japanese. this level if scamming isnt even on ebay. I messaged the seller saying that it was categorized as Japanese but theyre falling back on the fact that the photo shows a Chinese card which is just crazy. I could care less cause its only $62 but nobody wants Chinese cards come on.
I like the extra goodies whenever I order cards from Japan on eBay. I ordered a Raichu and they gave me a couple pikachu cards and a sticker
>>59118259You paid $62 for a $30 ChineseGOD card
>>59118293you always say this, but I have yet to receive anything for free from any Japanese seller. >>59118296Im gonna just give the card to my asian food take out person I dont want it. im just shocked that TCGplayer allows sellers to categorize Chinese cards under Japanese. I know this sounds stupid, but I dont speak the language. How am I supposed to know?
>>59118259BUY CHINESE CARDS NOW
Some cards arrivedThey sent me some random old men
>>59118259Yeah noticed that the other day They let Koreans cards be listed under Japanese tooWas thinking of buying Chinese cards because they're made in the same factory as the Japanese cards but according to actual chinks there are a bunch of fakes out there Also all the jewtubers already jumped on that train
got the Mew cards, cute
>>59118364Based but why 2 copies each?>>59118313It's easy to tell apart japanese from chinese, and if you collect japanese cards you better learn it fast.
>>59118375>Based but why 2 copies each?that's how it was in a box, it was a league deck or whatever it's called
>>59118375true. gonna learn japanese, korean and chinese. still super shady of tcgplayer for putting different languages under japanese. this was my first and last time using them, back to ebay and haggling with the sellers in the messages.
>>59118392Does haggling work?>t. wimp that doesn't haggle
>>59115615Man I miss using sneakerdunk. All those taxes, fees, and duties killed it.
>>59116629>>59118259It literally says Chinese right there btw
>>59118569On tcgplayer ANY seller can mark Korean and Chinese cards under the Japanese category. The title the seller used had Chinese in it, but the card was under the Japanese section. Many more are still there. Makes no sense why it's not separate.
>>59118522Yeah definitely works you can even send them screenshots and some sellers are actually just trying to move cards, so if you show them prices from TCGplayer or recently sold on eBay or other places typically they're cool and they'll match the price
>>59118563Yeah not a fan of those extra fees but sadly they have stuff other sites don't have like promo packs
Just ripped open a box and got nothing Certified anti gambling commercial right here Looks like I gotta buy those two acerola cards now

Anyone bought cards from rakuten rakuma before? The prices seem too good.
Do they ever reprint cards? I want a Hex...
my mum got me these on holiday
>>59119593i have through buyee
>>59119999HOLY
>>59119999>clutchClutch
>>59119652
>>59119652English hex isn't even that expensive Sadly the art sucks
>>59120227She's a bit pricey. A lot of those older trainers hover around $50 but she's double that. There's very few trainer cards that get that expensive. Mainly the older female full arts like Skyla, Bianca, Lisia, Misty, Cynthia, Rosa, and then of course, Lillie. Like when looking at all female full arts, she's definitely on the very expensive end.
>>59120251Despite being a shitty hag she sells for that much... If only there was a loli hex

Was planning on buying a random luxray and misdreavus commonBut the local card shop has a cringe minimum $5 policy Added a bunch of misdreavus and a few kirlia cards and somehow I ended up spending $22
My Skyla cards still haven't shown up reeeee
>>59120542$5 policy? Like they won't sell cards that are obviously $1-2 dollars for that price? I've gotten shitloads of cards for under $5, that shop sucks.
Against my better judgement on current prices...mail day!

And as a bonus: real (left) vs fake (right).Aside from the anti-counterfeit border logo, the only noticeable things are Pika's pupils being transparent on the fake one, and some small differences in the fonts at the bottom, which you would never notice without a real reference next to it.The holo reflections and colors are exactly the same, these things are scary.Be very aware when buying stuff online.
>>59121373>Aside from the anti-counterfeit border logoI must be blind because i don't see it
>>59121442>character outline more pronounced>colors off like washed out/possible saturation fixes after scanning>energy symbols look sunken>card art cropped so the edges are closer to the silver border than in the real oneI guess I know too much about photo editing and that's why I can tell right away
>>59121442My camera has shit quality but the logo is indeed present on the left card.
>>59121373what if both are fake?
>>59121516Statistically, 85% of your collection is fake, but you'll never notice
>>59121561well, unless my whole city sells fake cards, even sealed, then 99.99999% of my collection is fake because I've only bought sealed shit like ETBs and nothing more
>>59121460For sure. I couldn't see this one until you mentioned>card art cropped so the edges are closer to the silver border than in the real oneIt's less than 1mm. And the anti-counterfeit logo might be from your camera thenRecently I came across some fake ancient mews. I had no idea shit was so wild
>>59121373man, this is scary as a newfag at card collecting...I can't really see much difference besides font of the G beside the CBB 1C logo? at the bottom left corner being different in the fake one. Looks smaller
No personality lolifag thinks the best trainer art of all time is bad.
>>59121693I have that SIR, it is indeed one of the best looking cards.
This Eevee is way more obvious, they even got the rotation code letter wrong.
So don't buy Chinese, got it
Buy Chinese
>>59121760the art looks bigger tooand the illustrator font in bigger as well
>>59121790BASED
>>59121693Which are are we talking about? The Hex card is not that great. Carmine on the other hand is such a fan service card, it is great.
>>59121646oh that wasn't me, not my pic, I was just pointing out stuff I also noticed after you guys posted>>59121666take a look at the energy symbols, for me that's what always gives it away as fakeof course be sure to take a good look at your real cards so the way the symbols is presented gets stuck in your head lol
Is it better to go for jap booster boxes or eng?I know I get about 6 boosters less and they only have 5 cards but do they have better chances for good stuff?
>>59122027jap boxes have a guaranteed hit
>>59121693Putting that Carmine next to that Hex is the best way to say that we need a lolihex
>paying for a nm card on tcgplayer and finding dents on it
Forgot I already ordered the Japanese versionGod i love cunny
>>59122027JP but it's next to Impossible to get them for MSRP. Everyone's charging 10k yen or even more
>>59119999Did she die in the holly
>>59120630Nah they force a total of $5 before you're able to check out your cart This shop opened on the sketchy part of town where a weed shop used to beOnly found out about it recently. I gave them a shot because their competition is another store run by some foid former tournament player
>>59122819is the foid store worse?
>>59122710>trusting someone else's evaluation of a cardalso>buying from a place that doesn't necessitate including pictures of the exact card you're buyinghey at least you saved a few bucks :^)
Slowly getting into non trainer SARs. Was thinking of getting the Miraidon and Team Rockets Crobat next. What are some good ones under $50?
>>59122916Please be my gf

Who's ready to not be able to afford the 30th anniversary set.
>>59124741I still can't buy the first partner set in english because scalpers go feral over themI could buy the spanish one but I don't like it (even though it's my native language)
>>59124805where the fuck did all these scalpers come from?
>>59124899social media influencers triggered this response
>>59124741Try to buy it directly
How are repacks even legal?
>>59124972because there are retards that fall for them
>>59124972Why wouldn't they be?
What binder do you use?
>>59122794Nice child.I collect more children than 'mons these days. It's funny how Pokekid, Bonnie, and Acerola's Premonition are much more expensive in Japan.
Everyday is mail day
>>59125050Just a cheap one from Amazon.
>>59125058Nice kidrensJust ordered that Schoolgirl
>>59125075Good choice. You may have noticed that particular child is drawn by the infamous Megaman artist, Hideki Ishikawa. He's an expert in little blonde girls.
So many p3d0s in the thread

>just spent over $200 on pokemon cards FUCK>>59125101Nice! Didn't know that
bros, how do you stop yourself from overspending or spending money you shouldn't in pokemon cards?I spent all the money I could and now I can't buy new cards or packs until who knows when but seeing youtube shorts of people opening packs, people buying singles here or people selling cards I'm interested in a local whatsapp group makes me want to spend morelike, I feel like if I don't buy them now, they're gonna go up in price or they won't get more reprints, etc
>>59124741Please for the love of God reprint some more gardevoirsI ain't paying $800 for a Japanese tagteam gardevoir/sylveon
>>59125194>Afraid the prices will go upI literally spent over $3k on pokemon cards over the last month, just checked my watchlist and missed out on some massive deals because I decided not to buy themSome bastard snagged an MUR charizard and tagteam gardevoir for under market price FUCKFocus on cards of mons and girls you likeTry to save for the upcoming darkrai, rayquaza and anniversary set. The aura lucario set sounds ass Only buy pricy cards if it's a really good deal and if it's the last one left
>>59125207>I literally spent over $3k on pokemon cards over the last monthgeez... well maybe I should have mentioned that I don't have much money. I don't have a proper job so my income is very irregular and sometimes I could go over a month without a job so no money>Focus on cards of mons and girls you likethat's what I'm trying to do. Sadly, I chose to be fan of one of the most expensive girls in TCG... which is Lillie>Try to save for the upcoming darkrai, rayquaza and anniversary setnot much fun of darkrai but a rayquaza set sounds great. I'm still trying to find the first partner set in english but no luck since they get sold out in seconds...
>>59125236I bought those expensive Lillie cards Literally spent hundreds on themI feel nothing.
I buy because I'm depressed and lost control of my life. I just don't care anymore.
>>59125271This.No point in saving money due to the ram crisisDon't feel like upgrading till the 6090And it's not like I have a wife or kids anyways
Who is this bitch in front of Urshifu?
>>59125294isn't that gloria from swsh?
>>59125355nIce
>>59125198All I want is more Gallade, there is a criminal lack of prints
>>59125058That is a nice collection. Can't wait for the games to improve with better 2d art so that we can get even better card arts
>>59125058I'm still missing Poke Kid and Bonnie, but my female trainer collection is growing nicely. Basically what's left are most of the older cards that are $50 and up. I doubt I'll ever own a proper Sightseer or Lillie. Maybe Cynthia if I find her for a good price at LP. Those ladies are just so fucking expensive.
Just bought Bonnie schoolgirl, sar Sr hikari, arezu, and a bunch of other shit There are way too many Japanese card sites to keep track of Might try gambling on their oripa one day
