Asked before to no answer: how do you display your collections in an enjoyable manner? There are a lot of high quality art cards by this point, but how does /tcc/ get beyond simply putting slabs or top loaders in boxes?
I was finally able to find an Ascended Heroes ETB for retail at Target today. Assholes didn't even put it out right away, they only put Perfect Order ETBs when they opened and only put Ascended Heroes out at 11am. Feels so good paying only $59.99 for this, it was the last one too and the guy behind me was so mad.>>59183804I put them in top loaders, stick them with double sided tape to a 6ftx3ft picture frame and display it on my wall. Forget binders, they're meant to be seen all the time!
>>59183846>and display it on my wallaren't you worried about the sun decoloring your cards?
I miss the XY eraCheck out this old etb
>>59183882I collect Lego too, my room is completely sealed off from any sunlight.
>>59183938I still remember people hating that set so much, is it sealed?
>>59183938sometimes I forget volcanion is from gen 6
>>59183962No it's not sealedAh 2016 take me back
They don't make em like they used toAlso these cards are shinier than modern English
Never took it out of the packLook what I found
It's him he's here Imakuni
KANTOOOOOO
This is my third copy of this sylveon wtf It's been sitting in this pack for over a decade
>>59184057gimme
Just bought prismatic ETB case for $1800. When will it be worth $5k?
>>59184273how the fuck does that happen?I bought a prismatic box (the one that has like 4 or 5 packs) last month for $40
>>59184286ETBs probably just got their very last large print run. They corrected down for now but will easily double in price over the next year. Idk where all the money is coming from though.
>>59184339sometimes I tell myself I should buy a perfect order ETB and just leave it there sealedbut I'd probably not gonna be able to hold myself from opening itbut maybe perfect order is not as insane as prismatic so it wouldn't be that expensive in the future
To perfect fit or not to perfect fit? That is the question.
Why are AH cards still so fucking expensive. Prick is $100 raw. Defies all logic
>>59184483why would you not
>>59184492What if it's too tight
>>59184483I see some mallow ass
Do you have a top 10 list of cards you would never sell?
When did you realize that scratches = SOVL
>>59184518I don't have enough cards for a top 10 yet
>>59184518>all hyper modernYikes
Just bought these :)
>>5918453410 years old is not modern. Furthermore even If I owned the Corocoro mew or the CD promo Charizard. They would not be in my top 10.
>>59184503well then it isnt a perfect fit
>>59184555you can barely see the font in this card lol
>>59184548Based
>>59184518Just my old neo sets in general
I finally took her out of the toploader and put her in a binder.
>>59184708congratsshe's ruined now
>still buying modern
>still buying vintage
>still grading cards
>>59184650Isn't Acerola supposed to be flat?
I'm about to buy those expensive eeveelutions from terastal, they are japanese so cheaper but still it's gonna hurt my wallet...At least the collection is gonna look nice.I guess I will get it over few weeks to lessen the blow.
Mail day! And with 7 bucks, everything I needed from ninja spinner has been completed.
>>59184518My carddass
>>59183938XY is goat
>>59185058just buy the terastal festival booster box that already has a guaranteed SAR, you have a 50% chance of pulling an eevolution anyway and a 5% chance of pulling a godpack. it's way more fun to own a card you actually pulled yourself.
>>59184647>shining steelixGimme>>59185053Not after my dick
>>59185058I know the feeling had to buy all of the other ones after pulling the umbreon
>>59185496>it's way more fun to own a card you actually pulled yourself.it will be exponentially more expensive and I am not american so I don't have the same purchasing power they do>>59185703well I will have to buy them all including the umbreon
>>59186026Damn duplicate.
>>59186019Dark jolteon is awesome. Cards now look a lot shittier than what they could
>>59186133Easily top 10 card arts for me.
>dialga and giratina got several nice 2D art cards in the Platinum era>palkia got 0
>>59186247I need a shiny mudkip cardwhy mudkip doesn't get any love?
>>59185496jap boxes don't have guaranteed SAR, they have a guaranteed SR that COULD be a SAR
>>59186267That would be awesome. I was afraid it would be GREEN when looking it up. Looks cool.
>>59186281Terastal only has SARs
>>59186284>I was afraid it would be GREEN when looking it upblue pokemon almost always end up being pink as shiny and the mudkip line is one the best pink shinies imo
>>59186293not from what I can see here
>>59186284>those legendary beast cardsGorgeous
>>59186300have you not watched terastal festival openings? guaranteed SAR in each box, I pulled umbreon twice in 25 boxes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9P1NH4NEb0
>>59186374>25 boxes>750 boostersalso fuck the pokejew
>>59186374>in 25 boxes.that's too much
>>59186374>25 boxesnigga wants me to spend my entire wages from a quarter of a year to buy some cards
>>59186393Jeet behavior.
>>59186374Dude smiles like he's in pain
>still buying physical
>>59186133Recent rocket sets showed us that we will never have dark Pokemon again, nowadays children (< 18yo) can't be exposed to "evil".
>>59186467how do I buy digital?
>>59186514ebay
>>59186573I did that and I'm still waiting for itI don't know if I got scammed, the package got lost in the way or it has a delayI fucking hate that they do it through untracked shipping so there's no way to know where it is
>>59186514You don't. That's the point
>>59186597what do you mean I don't? what are you talking about?you can't just get stuff for free. You have to pay for it or there's no meaning!
>>59186580If it doesn't show up after the expected date, report it and ebay will give you a refund.
>>59186682it should have arrived last weekI decided to wait one more week just in case but I didn't get anything this week either
>>59185675mogs base set garbage
>Got 2 ascended heroes ETBs + 1 gardevoir and lucario box coming in mail that i ordered like a month ago but the store didn't get enough stock so they are only arriving now>Not sure i even want to open them now looking at the pricesWould probably just be smarter to sit on them and just buy the singles i want
>>59186881I would open the lucario and gardevoir boxes but only because the rates are better on those
>>59186479Yeah every company that has been having deals with USA and also going for "family friendly" has been full of that shit mentality
>>59186400Isn't msrp on 25 boxes only like $3k?
>>59187800>onlyLet me give you my crypto wallet so you can share your measly $3k
>>59187800nta but I can barely make like $300 a month
>eBay>Japanese booster boxes>Seller in Shenzhen ChinaIs this a scam
>>59187994maybebut also chinks love buying shit from japan since it's just right there
>>59187976that's grim, I already spend that much every month on gasoline alone for my car. eastern europe?
>>59188025>eastern europe?nah, just a lazy guy with no proper jobI only work with my dad, doing construction stuff and other small shit. I work for like a week and then nothing for the rest of the month, that's why
>>59188034I wish I had your free time, I'd use it to chase after restocks at stores every week and then scalp them for profit
>>59188053well, I wish I had your money. I would buy more packs or buy more singles with it but right now I'm struggling to buy the stuff I wantI need to pay my switch 2 and gym subscription too...
I forgot I had this Gotta rescue BIG MAN BLASTOISE
Rescue kyogre
>>59188065>>59188088open themrecord yourself too
>>59188065Literally the best Kantoslop set of all time. Kill all 151fags.
POKEMON CARDS USED TO BE SO CHEAP WTF
Lucario
>>59188171Honestly, that pricing is pretty standard across all TCGs. A Magic booster is like 8 bucks now for whatever reason.
>>59188206I thought that was a caterpie, brothanks for the clarification
Found this and that lucario in an old latios tin
They're gonna force some new gay ass mechanic next year or in that lucario set aren't they
Why does rayquaza keep getting paired off with random legendaries Rayquaza -> deoxysMega rayquaza -> hoopaIt's been that way for over a decade now
>>59188317how is rayquaza and deoxys random?they always had a rivalry, at least since the 5th movie
>>59188317>>59188320I would say that the fandom, tcg, merch and marketing do not follow the games or they're not canon or something, but then comes oras with it's space fight
>>59188382forgot to mention the anime as well
>>59187800watch out guys, we have a nepo baby here
>>59188025I make about $10k yearly after taxes, you americans live in a bubble and don't even realize how much less the rest of the world makes
>>59188887$10k in USD? How do you survive off that?
>>59189045I don't live in the US, that's how
