>>59329674H-he's so handsome...
>>59329688well, it's in the house somewhere unless you took it somewhere. it cant walk away, so it has to be somewhere. try cabinets or even storage boxes.
>>59329927I met someone once who wouldn't stop talking about how much they loved Tinkaton, this card specifically, and how they have a max rarity expanded Tinkaton deck.
>still buying vintage
>>59329688fuck off tourist

>>59329946Yes, we've all met someone with autism
Why do both 30th anni Espeon and Umbreon have that pose and expression hinting at unprotected sex on the bed with their trainer?
>>59330186you already know why
>still buying modern
>>59330192the great scientist richard sanchezium said itsex sells
>>59330186This >>59330208 houndoom started it all
>post cards
I've waited long enough, I need this fucking card. Knowing my luck it will be $50 in a month.
>>59330602buying cards for more than 20 bucks is stupid
>run out of space in my top loader binder>Blue 12 slot one costs more than the others and keeps selling out quick as shit>Had to shell out $60 for oneWhat the fuck Also those 30th anniversary cards look ugly as shit So the 25th anniversary cards had Japanese ones look great but their distribution was fucked and now everyone has the ugly Pikachu stamp
>>59330644nobody is making you do it
Always funny coming back here and seeing you all argue about the same shit on loop. None of you are improving at life or collecting either from the looks of things.
>>59330910buying that booster box left me in ruins so I can't buy new cards until further notice
>Go to card show>People price their cards according to what the latest ebay sold listings are>Some people purposefully sell cards at inflated prices to themselves before the show to fake real valueI wonder, can we do the opposite? Like sell + buy Prissy breon for a couple hundred dollars with your friend multiple times to fake a substantial decrease in value and take advantage of cheap breon prices at a card show? "Oh why is this stickered at 1.2k, last sold listing an hour ago was $150" that kind of shit. If they're happy to fuck over customers we should be happy to fuck over sellers.
>>59330407This fucking houndoom is the best and worst thing to have happened to this thread. You're able to put whatever spin you want onto the card and what it means and what it's trying to say.
Was kind of hoping this Typhlosion would get put in the anniversary, seeing the Gengar is kinda disappointing because they just passed over this cool card.I already have the original but it's beat up since it's from my middle school years
>>59331094Prime cards are so ugly anyway. I still can't believe the set doesn't have a gold star mon.
We got over 100+ cards unrevealed, trust
>>59331181No gold stars is absolutely criminal, imagine if they rereleased Rayquaza
Shirona is VERY proud of her cute girlfriend.
i can't wait for the 25th celebrations set
>>59331343Gold star rayquaza after the rayquaza set would make sense. I know Larpizard is overrated but the gold star version is so beautiful I'd love to see a reprint of it.
Gold Star chinpokomon would be so based tbqh
>>59331358Lole
What could even make the invoost retards leave this hobby at this point? I was looking at old receipts when I bought singles back in 2011~2016 and it made me feel so fucking depressed.>>59331358Cute Yadon...
>>59329688I'm having a similar kind of problem but on a smaller scale. I have no fucking idea where these two cards went - they were in my binder and now they're gone. Wonder what else has disappeared along with them.
>>59330644We can't all be Yu-Gi-Oh collectors
I can access card rush with my brothers iphone but not with my Motorola phone. Does anyone know why that might be? I can't be hogging his phone all the time
>>59329674where can we actually buy legitimate cards that are not fakes?
This is so fucking bad I want to beat someone up over it Fuck this new special rarity tier implying there'll be more like this. I thought we left garbage behind with rainbow cards gone.
>>59332483>inb4 i get this and sell it to buy the singles I actually want.
>>59332483it's a really bad cardbut it will cost millions somehow
>>59332518gold cards are pretty cheap for how rare they are
>>59332543>pretty cheapfor someone with a good job, perhaps
>>59332543Yeah because barely anyone wants them, just like the stadiums or random terrain
>>59332543Because they're ugly as shit>>59332549True I hate this fucking game, people making less than 6 figures are basically priced out
yeah thats what I mean, gold cards are kinda ugly which is why they are not worth 1k+ even though they are extremely rareand if there is any sense in this thing the ugly ass mew and mewtwo will have the same fate
>>59332616Is this the ugliest Arita card?
people are too busy with SIR cards to care about the gold rarity ones, despite most of them being meh the sheer rarity makes it worth i think, just wait until the era rotates out and they go out of print and the fucking content creators make prices shoot to the moon... i wouldn't mind getting the gold dragonite now
>>59332709People starting to love Prime cards now are proof of this. Mf'ers will gobble anything up that is close to being considered "old" even though it looks like shit
1000 years from now every 2 cent bulk fodder in your closet will be considered a collector's grail. It's all relative.
>>59332758no akshualy they'll be priceless arch relics
You faggots posting r9k shit would do better to spam pokegirl images instead of the troll shit you spew
>>59332483i don't even like modern stuff really but I like both of them. I think they're going to look good in person. What i really want is true hologram cards
>>59332008Sumiyoshi Kizuki and Miki Tanaka are the best artists the game has ever had
>>59332934*Trump voice* Wrong.
>>59332938you've probably got one of these in your living room if you think that's cool
Radiant Collection hit foids harder than crack in the 80s
last night on the most popular eBay live stream for selling Pokémon cards twice this guy paid $700 to have 50 packs of ascended heroes that were loose and opened on the live stream. both times he hardly got any hits and everybody started saying those were definitely weighed packs. let’s just say hypothetically the packs were not weighed; who pays $1400 to have 100 packs opened on a live stream of ascended heroes?
it's all foids and groids and slop and tok with you newfaggots
>>59333035you're retarded for even watching that scam crap
>>59333035rich fags? gambling addicts?
>>59333035Rich fags or retards
>>59332934>KizukiDigital art and it's consequences have been a disaster for the Pokemon TCG>see also: Kagemaru Himeno
>>59332959Show some fucking respect to the artwork Fist of the North Star Mangaka you peon
The best cards are the ones where they take the default marketing art of the Pokemon and put it on a windows wallpaper background
>>59333097People love to shit on those but I actually always enjoyed them, the Gym sets were my favorites because seeing the "real" Sugimori arts made them feel more legit, and I always thought the weird CG landscapes were super interesting. The stock art cards went to shit more recently though, ever since about... DP they've stopped putting effort into the backgrounds (plus the lack of watercolor is shit)
I take it back, several Gen 4 cards have the fun backgrounds, eventually they started just using geometric backgrounds instead of "real" photos. Neo and Gym had the best ones still imo, they're most interesting when someone has TRIED to do something with the art, N1 Donphan being zoomed in and half out of frame for example or the way lots of the Gym cards rotate/change perspective on the drawing.Shit like this is hilarious but really retarded.
Pure kinoEarly DP had a lot of these just lazy as fuck ones where there's no sense of scale and someone just used the blend tool on the outline to make it "fit".
>>59333081Let me rephrase: Vintage Kizuki is one of the best artists the game has ever had
i like photo bgs too
>>59333093damn he fell off
Naoki saitou, kanako eo, and kirisaki are the 3 best poke illustrators of all time.
i like kawayoo, kinebuchi, morii, adachi, himeno, komiya and kusube the best
>>59333233Kanako Eo is great but they haven't had a full art since the XY era for some reason. My vote goes to Mizutani and I think En Morikura has a promising future.
>>59333210This gorgeous ass card looked better than the Darkrai it was packaged with.
I just impulse bought an LP Mysterious Mountains non holo Magikarp for $60 USD. Am I sucker or did I get a good deal? I'm not planning to sell it, I just really like the art.
I have Pikachu exhaustion
>>59333267Neat card, but not worth 60, you should've offered 35 dollars going off what pricecharting is saying and it being LPPersonally, I don't even think it's worth 40. More like 25.
>>59333097I think this is easily one of the most beautiful Pokemon cards ever made.
>>59333189I agree, I loved both the heavy outlines and the almost construction paper look he used during the e Era. Actually kind of odd, they released an Ambipom from him relatively recently that was drawn in the older outlined crayon style, but it wasn't a recycled art, in the midst of all his awful digital airbrush shit
What do you use to search for cards? There are a few cards i knew i want but i might be missing some cards that i don't even know
>>59333300According to pricecharting the recent sales have been trending up. There are definitely cards I thought about buying late last year but didn't because I thought they were overpriced and then life got in the way so I wasn't really thinking about cards for a few months. Now they're all substantially higher. I'm sure a correction will happen at some point, but who knows what the new floor will be.
>>59333331I use pkmn.gg
I'm looking at recent eBay sales on that Magikarp. Is this really what passes as MP these days? I'd call this one LP. https://www.ebay.com/itm/366444738902And then there's this one https://www.ebay.com/p/18074369371. Sold for $80, supposedly NM, but there's obvious whitening and dings on the edges. Not quite as bad as the first one, but definitely not NM.Either my definitions are completely off or eBay descriptions can't be trusted.
>>59333351Good enough thanks
>>59333376so sick. Texture makes Kusube cards look like lithographs
>>59333321That's a beautiful card. It's not real, right?
>>59333490>he doesn't own a gb vaporeonembarrassing
>>59333035>"Ummm the packs were weighed!!!"Those people are retarded.
Managed to snag one without the massive waifu tax
>>59333544I ordered one of these recently.
>>59333300There isn't a whole lot of availability of the e-reader cards on the market though so it's hard to get an accurate price. I wouldn't rely too heavily on pricecharting for low volume cards.
>>59333473All these counterfeit cards man.
Hello lads, long time no seeGot some code cards for anyone who wants em, I just hope the scrapers don’t take the codes
If you guys want em, I can post the rest. Just wanna make sure everyone gets a chance at one
>>59333691>>59333700>>59333703nobody plays here, browe just collect pretty looking cardboards
Why isn't there more love for Chinese sets? It's like the only way to buy Evolving Skies boosters for cheap and each jumbo booster has a hit in it.
>>59333713some people here don't like buying cards in languages they can't read and others don't want to risk getting scammed by chink scalpers
>>59333713Because Chinese is an ugly dogshit language and you're likely to get scammed by equally dogshit people.
Post your pimped out cards
>>59333730i'm jealous of that lillie card
>>59333723Why does it matter, nobody plays the game anyway. I am thinking about buying a jumbo pack of CS4aC (which is evolving skies) and sitting on it because I'll never not regret the day I brought a real evolving skies booster for $15 online from an out of town store only for me to get cold feet and cancel the order last minute. They sell them for $60 now.
>>59333748>Why does it matter, nobody plays the game anywayBecause the greatest irony is that Chinese cards look like fake Chinese bootlegs no matter how official they are.
>>59333730Another one
>suffocating cards
>>59333708The other TCG thread said this was the place to put these
>>59333775What I don't get is getting guards for slabs. Isn't one plastic prison enough?
How do you convince girls looking at your binder that you aren't a performative tourist with a bunch of counterfeits?
Does Team Rocket's MewTwo belong in my 151 binder? I have space
>>59333964If a girl looked at my binder I would probably just cum in my pants and die.
>>59333964It's very obvious when cards are fake no?
>>59333842don't forget the sleeve too
>>59333812no dum dum we said it's okay over there since you don't play and just collect (indicating you don't care about the codes) it's YOU that belongs here
>>59333998This implies that the people who do play should care about the codes in which case the codes should be posted in the player thread
>>59334003yes they should be, that's what I'm saying
