>>59235712
you guys like my new drip?
>>59235712>>59235719Pdf poster... Disgusting >>59235732$300 on eBay right now
I got... pokemon card
>>59235712>>59235719Looking at these images is illegal in my country so I will immediately vacate the thread.
>>59235712Anon you motherfucker i want to lick your cards AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
ok bros, it's gambling time!
Fuck me. I hate non holos but I could never spending $700 more just for a reverse.
>>59235793Both or only one? Good luck
>>59235803both obviously
purging some of my SIRs (trainers), I feel they're lackluster (at least to me). Down to 2 trainers, I feel it's fine, at least
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH
>>5923585222.5% fees hot damn
>>59235852gemerald
the gambling didn't go so good...at least erika's tangela is a beautiful cardthe kingdra as a bonus that I bought as single
>still buying vintage
>>59235717>Japs setting up crowd crush conditions to ensure hundreds of K*reans dieBased
>everything is ridiculously overvalued>vintage is for millionaires>modern is for billionaires>ultra modern is for scalper retards >special event promos no longer allowed because TPC encourages violent mongoloids by not taking any crowd control measures whatsoever even when they know they need to>can't even buy cards at a normal retailer >game isn't even fun to play right now and the tourney setup is wackJust burn it all down honestly. Start by gassing all the scalpers and skinning the investards alive, then go from there.
>>59235852To be fair though those packs were worthless for over a decade.
>>59235910I moved onto pocket for now
Sup
Before I get this design custom etched on a zip-closed card binder, are there any official Pokemon binders as cute as this?
Kind of stupid they didn't give out any Project Voltage promo cards.
Gonna pick up these bad boys to fill out my Pokedex with
>>59236254that roxie koffing looks nice
>>59236021In what way does that provide any of the same satisfaction? Gacha bullshit with no physical ownership and not even a real game attached is sad.
>>59236263this is me>>59230592>>59230888I know I can't afford cards right now due to highly inflated prices, even if I had my old job, but pocket scratches the itch a bit opening daily free packs.
>>59236272Bro I’ve sold cards when I’m in a bind and it never works that way. I’ve sold Blaine’s charizard, kyoto pikachu, surfing pikachu, jp dream league lily’s clefairy, 2x komiya snorlax+eevee. I bought them all for single digits. Theres no way I can buy them again
>>59236294I regret selling every card I've ever sold.
Thoughts on Champions Festivals cards? They seem like festas for poorfags.
>>59236687Idk but I'd pay $250 for her if you know what I mean
>still grading cards
>Go to Card Show>Vendors are chill like usual>Most good vendors will pick up that you're looking for something specific if you speed through binders.>Them: "What are you looking for"?>Me: "Yea I collect the Hyper Rare Energies from Scarlet&Violet">Them: "You mean these?" <Shows HR Jet Energy>>Me: "No, the Basic ones"I need a better way to fucking explain this. The real fucking champs are the ones that go out of their way to sift through their junk to find them. I then try and explain that I go to shows all of the time and have yet to find a dark one in the wild.
>>59236829sorry for my dumb questions but are those all the same or from different sets?what is the reason to have 9 of the same?
>>59236829This is retarded.
>>59236847I want 18 of every card in this search result: https://www.tcgplayer.com/search/pokemon/product?productLineName=pokemon&q=Basic+Energy&view=grid&RarityName=Hyper+Rare&page=1&CardType=Energy
>>59236936why 18?
>>59236942>>59236936wait nvmI think I know why. To fill the binder page, front and back, right?
>>59235732>No Charizard colorsFAKE FAN
most nostalgic cards?
>>59237082for me it would be the charizardnot because I like it or anything like that but because I was just a little kid when the cards first came out and everyone was crazy about that charizardI only had a fake card of it but it was fun to play with the other kids with it
>>59237094Like me and my fake blue eyes
>>59237102man, I wish I still had my yugioh cardsafter I moved in to my current house back when I was in 7th grade, I just couldn't find them anymore...
>>59237144If it's any consolation nothing you had was worth anything and you could easily buy them again for cheap bulk prices.
>>59237220perhapsbut I had some really good stuff. I had that chimera thing from the movie and it was like my treasure...
>>59237220this
>>59237082Probably my Mewtwo movie promos. When i found my childhood collection last year, those were the two I was looking for the most.
>still buying modern
>>59237220Damn, you're right. Lost all my yugioh when a box was stolen during a move a decade ago. Just looked up the price of my three favourite cards: 23¢, 8¢, and 35¢. It's refreshing to see such cheap prices for once.
>>59235910It's kinda weird how the economy seems to be going to shit but this hobby of ultimate waste of money on cardboard is taking off. Even enough for people to pay 2-3x prices of packs to scalpers.
I hate Pokemon cards
>>59237381I hate niggers that make carboard expensive, every single card should be no more than $5
>>59237344The world as we know it is ending but people do not want to acknowledge that
>>59236936just ask for gold modern energies
>>59237391Capitalist pigdog that you are! Fooling comrades is not possible for you.No card should cost most than exactly the unit cost of printing it! $5 is far far too high.
>>59237082Base set charizard or pic rel.Ex dragon was the last set i bought as a kid. Only a few packs but i somehow managed to pull 2 of the 3 secret rares out of those
>>59237381I finally decided to get only the 3 Kanto Eevees so I can skip any overpriced Umbreon and Sylveon from any past and future set.
>>59237082Base set, as I started buying packs as soon as the TCG came to my country. But after a couple years I was mesmerized by the random japanese neo packs that for some reason our local stores got mixed with the regular ones, so I remember my neo cards more than my gen1 cards.I pulled left as a kid 25 years ago, and I bought right in Japan last year. Circle closed.
>>59237719Neo and rocket were the best expansions. Everything looked so good there and they had really cool choices too
Aaaaand I got hit with customs fees and they won't let me pay for them online using my debit card fuck off
>>59237805I stopped bothering with Mercari now that they removed the law that under a certain amount (45€?) you get no customs fees. Now you always get them and it's like 20-30% of the fucking value of the item, plus a fixed amount of another 6-7€ of (((((((postal management fees))))))).I had hoped that customs didn't check all the packages, and that it still was chance based, but I got jewed 3 times in a row so now I stopped buying outside of the EU. So much for the free globalized market.
A (biological) women talked to me for a couple of minutes and told me she liked to collect Trubbish and Garbodor. It was a mistake not asking her if she wanted help looking through cards.
>>59237836It's a good thing even if i hate it>>59237837There are only women or men you faggot. And you're a double faggot for not helping her
>>59237837It was a subtle hint, she meant that you smelled like garbage and you need to shower.
>>59237867I shower every day, sometimes twice a day, but thanks.
My 5 y/o son has opened 4 packs, all sleeved POR. In those, he's opened the rarest Pokepad and this - the latter of which is now in a magnetic loader and will be returned to his control at an older age (he told me he wanted to give it to me when I told him it was very rare which was super sweet. I'm going to hold on to it for him or mount it on his playroom wall).He's doing all my cracking moving forward.
Wish we could get TCG pocket cards (with the Crown Zenith-type foil, always found the JP set more textured than usual)
>>59237849Are europoors really this cucked? Us burgers get fucked the same way now but we dont pretend it's a good thing
>>59237849Hey faggot, get the kike cock out of your ass and stop sucking orange daddy off too while you're at it
>>59238195>>59238217Thank the burgers for creating the issue that is the (((globalized))) economy and near shoringhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972_visit_by_Richard_Nixon_to_Chinahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_and_opening_upMaybe when you stop sucking ((nasdaq)) cock you will become something better
>>59237223>chimera thing from the moviethe 50 cent one?
>>59238100That's intensely fucked up just give the kid his card back, man.
>>59238398I'm not taking it for myself. It's still his, and it's either going to be sitting in his tin in a magnetic top loader or put on his wall.
>>59238411>>59238398I wasn't clear - I did originally put it in a loader but yeah it's back to him now. It's in a magnetic loader in one of his tins. If he wants to hang it up, I'll do so, but you're right there's no reason to "keep it for him".
>>59238389This happens every time someone brings up yugislop and doesdn't know there's zero collector's market for yugislop unless extremely niche/rare/misprinted cards you don't know about.
>>59238389I don't know anymore, maybe>>59238488bro, I was a kid. I didn't care about money. It was cool and I loved that card
>>59238492So if you don't care about the money then buy it again? That's the exact card. You must not have really loved it if you don't want it back.
>>59238496>That's the exact cardlike I said, I don't remember anymorepretty sure it was a monster you had to combine like 3 different cards to use it
>>59238500It's definitely Theinen The Great Sphinx. It's the only movie promo card that fits your description. It needs Andro Sphinx and Sphinx Teleia on the field to be summoned.
Off topic tangent but it's pretty crazy that after 25 years they don't have more than 3 cards worth over $1000 on tcgplayer: https://www.tcgplayer.com/search/yugioh/product?productLineName=yugioh&page=1&view=grid&ProductTypeName=CardsWhereas Pokemon has like 50: https://www.tcgplayer.com/search/pokemon/product?productLineName=pokemon&view=grid&ProductTypeName=Cards&page=1
>>59238510yeah, I know it was those two but I remember the art of the card differentlywell, I don't know. It was like 20 years ago, my memory is fucked
>>59238515You'll only find crazy expensive cards in the OCG because of Grandmaster Rares or the odd historic value card like this Kanan going for 30k. She was the first prize card ever or something.TCG should never be used as a baseline for anything. You should only laugh at it.
>>59238515Another off topic tangent here. Lorwyn Eclipsed for mtg was somewhat recently launched and I was checking the overall market. Apparently the preorders were at $150.90 using amazon in january with many places still listing it in the range of $165 to $175. Eight months ago the preorder was at $164.70 and currently amazon lists it at $125It really says a lot about pokemon's landscape
>>59238798Yea Pokemon seems to be the only TCG where card prices generally stay stable or go up, even with shit sets like Picrel. Probably has to do with the fact that TPC doesn't do a lot of waves of the same set. Also I'd love to master set BLK/WHT but I'm too busy chasing other stuff right now.
>>59238798>>59238845Lorwyn was a pretty low powered set. Not really a surprise that it fell.
>>59238845Oh nice i pulled 2 of those last summer
Will the PF Zard drop in price eventually? I really really want a PSA 10 slab and am scared that it'll just get more expensive over time.
>>59239016if it was any card besides the charizard, maybe
Can/should you repair cards to increase their grade? Googling it I get conflicting answers.
>>59239037It depends what needs doing. I've seen plenty of videos where cards need maybe minor dents straightening out or whitening edges pressing down and they'll get higher grades or at least sub-grades, but anything beyond that and it might get popped for tampering.
Why is this so expensive?I thought people didn't like 5ban Graphics
>>59239150it's one of the 3 color rares alongside the reshiram/zekrom promos
>>59238886Have you seen this happen before for pokemon sealed items?
Lol!!!!!!!
Costco is starting to sell Ascended Heroes in California Bay Area now>>59239416some older japanese ones like the hiroshima sets have dropped in price
>>59239437Why
>>59239069
>>59239507I'm retardedFixable? Back side in a sec
Post your SAR Touko please.
>>59239510
>>59239512Yeah that kind of thing just goes through a humidity and press treatment. My Zard is cleaner in terms of that but there is a small scratch on the attack info that goes through to the holo which is unfixable.
>>59239522Post cleaning, any idea what grade it could get bumped up to? Its mine from back in the day, and 9s and 10s are worth more to me than the nostalgia.
>>59239530Looking at the front, the holo is scuffed to shit and there is a chip or two on the top border so nothing high. Though i find low grading vintage pretty charming.
>>59239510Bro, I'm sorry but this is fucked. Just appreciate it as a nostalgia piece.
>>59239535>>59239566No fixing it? If its fucked its fucked.
>>59239510Raw HP is probably the best you can hope for. Maybe damaged. Still worth some money, since it's shadowless I think?
Are there any Rotom cards that are singing or music related? Trying to make a Project Voltage page.
>>59239016>>59239023This is my least favorite recent zard, the head looks bent to me. Don't get the appeal
>>59239530solid psa 5
>>59239530draw a cock on it and get an 8
>>59239773I'd prefer if you made it a dickbut.
>>59239652Because it's not just a zard card. Only card ever made with Charmander and Charmeleon in it too. But holy fuck it's so hard to pull, I still can't pull the damn thing after over 400 packs.
I'm glad anything after gen 3 does nothing for me
>>59239846Prove it.
>>59239851It's just not for me, you can enjoy all the slop they pump out
>>59239881>>59239851
>>59239846I still like gen 4 cause thats what I grew up with. But it was the beginning of the end
Why aren't they doing a 30th anniversary reprint of Base/Jungle/Fossil? Dis is an outrage
>>59240221because you’ve have 30 years to collect those cards, uncpoor
>>59240221Surely base set 2 is cheap>checkYeah, singles are cheap as fuck.
Damn this card goes for a bit now
>>59240432It's so weird to me that base 2 is as cheap as it is. It feels like I've seen LC and XY reprint holos more expensive than base 2
>>59240629Legendary collection is a way more desirable set to collect.
>>59240765Outside of the fireworks, what would be more desirable about a LC holo vs a BS2 holo?
>>59240821It’s a more sought after set for collecting/completing is what I mean. Exclusive mtg mewtwo, rocket’s dark pokemon, reverses. Also more demand for even the regular holos because it was a smaller print run I think
new cards arrived :)
>>59240853Not a fan of any of these
>>59240886that's fine, they are for me
>>59240888Get taste
>>59240893I already have based taste
>>59240904>top loader prison hell no
>>59240909the fuck else am I supposed to do with it
>>59240914You gotta laminate and superglue them in, in for life
>>59240919yeah no that's one of the few cards from my childhood that survived being mompurged
>>59240924It looks minty, so I guess keep using top loaders or whatever
I'm gonna sell all my Pokemon cards and buy gas and food with the income
