My binders are so shitty. I wonder if I should buy new ones.
>>59602475we really live in crazy times...
>>59602475Those Mews will go down to at least <$1000 and stay there.The chase classics will be like $100-$200 max while the rest at $50 and below.
>still grading cards
>>59602102It's good to see a vid first thing in the morning that makes me smile.Fuck scalpers.
>>59602418Uhh does +$10-15 over market price really feel like a scam? The only MSRP I can get outside of that is my pkmn center hit. Idk where you're getting product at msrp because it ain't my lgs that's for sure.
>>59602482>Those Mews will go down to at least <$1000 and stay there.Cope
hits from 23 packs
>>59602621Lmao
>>59602621HAHAHAHA
>>59602637>>59602682mental breakdown?jealous you didn't get your product, Timmy?
>>59602621No Lugia, Tyranitar, Charizard, future Mewtwo, SIR Mew and the 2 SIR PikachusNot even the SIR Meowths
Things are getting a bit wild with the 30th anniversary scalpers and FOMO, so please allow me to distract you with a basic brokie card.I'm just enjoying collecting.
Damn mercari still banning 30th sealed product sales.Anybody know how long it gonna last? I thought it gonna be just on release date.
>>59602621Its wild how varied the hit rates is. English having some batching issue again?
>>59602730It would be good if it happened, and if stores started cutting the sealed packs. Saw a video earlier and some places are doing that in Nippon, and I think some stores in America are starting to do that.
21 packs dunno if i should try to get the premium collection for another shot at lugia or buy directly later
>>59602417Anyone here sell on eBay? I've recently learned about the "Authenticity Guarantee" thing that's automatic for cards over 200 bucks, but apparently if you mess up details in the listing it doesn't activate. Is there a way to tell if your listing has it before actually posting it?
>>59602748Selling singles in case that wasn't clear. I'm not scalping sealed shit. plz no bully.
>>59602748I'm just a pleb who googles things.
>>59602686>>59602686I'm relishing in your hypecattle misfortune. I'm just gonna buy singles of the few cards I want.
>>59602758These are all basic info I've already read. I'm trying to find out how to make sure I have the guarantee BEFORE I list it.
>>59602761nta but what makes that post """hypecattle misfortune"""?>I'm just gonna buy singles of the few cards I want.what makes you think that person didn't get the cards they want?
>>59602766Just a hunch.
>>59602772Your life must be exhausting if you spend it assuming the worst most negative reads of every social interaction.
>>59602763I suspected that was the case, but posted it anyway just in case.Good luck with the issue, hope you work it out.
I sold my entire collection bros. All that's left is couple of Mcdonalds 25/25 sets, some 1/1 painted pokemon cards & a single Unbroken Bonds blister booster.The only thing that would bring me back is a proper 151 base set anniversary reprint
>>59602773>>59602773>>59602773My subjective appraisal of his pulls for his $200 worth of "product" was summarised with a simple lmao.
>>59602480>>59602475I'd rather get some vintage MTG stuff everyone sleeps on for 1/4 that price.
Check it out
>>59602621>The hit rates are good guys You guys lied
>>59602822even that picture is a better result than opening any other set since Crown Zenith
>>59602828not when booster packs cost double
>>59602835yes, buying sealed at market price is always retarded even if every pack had an SIR
>>59602838yurp
sunny days are on the way
>>59602855>casually spreading cyberAIDSdo us all a favour, faggot. Keep that trash in its containment zone
>>59602858not sure what youre mad about but hope your day gets better
>>59602818Very nice.
>>59602863it will be when you stop sharing scalper retardation in my collectors thread. Reading that trash does psychic damage, idiot
>>59602871youre not pleased that scalpers are getting fucked?
>>59602874i'm glad, but i don't need to see their mindless drivel on /tcc/. Let them suffer in silence without the pleasure of having their undue whining acknowledged
Was able to luck out and enter a store just as they put some 30th boxes out. Got 2 blisters and 3 ETBs. I haven't been that lucky in ages.Scalpers lost. I won. It's over.
>Tell a local collector I'll bring him back a sealed set of paradise resort promos from worlds for $900>He says sure, assuming that price is close to what the market will be>Come back and try to sell it to him>He says nuh uh, TCGPlayer lists it at $400I'm trying to convince him that TCGPlayer only shows for the individual english card, how can I convince him to pay the actual price of the full promo set, how do you get pricing for stuff like the indonesian or french versions of the cards?
>>59602818>Charizard above Venusaur>not in dex orderOff yourself
>>59602855kek what a faggot
>>59602855“small business owners” as an ACTUAL small business owner, fuck this clown
>>59602855I doubt this is real to be honest. Reads like an over the top parody.
>>59602924I know a couple that wears diapers to camp out at Best Buy overnight. We are dealing with a community of real-life parodies.
>>59602855I don't trust any LGS. They'll happily smile as they sell shit 2-3x over msrp to normies and try to do the same to me. No thanks man 30th better keep killing these faggots.
>>59602475i seriously hope nobody is buying these ugly shits for that much cash
>>59602919Charizard is on top because he is the best
>>59602818Noice
I wanted to buy some boxes because my friends want to do a rip party, get pizza, rewatch the older movies and LARP as our 10 year old selves but none of us can get shit, oh well. Party is gonna have to wait until reprinting overtakes scalping, just hope we don’t all die of all age.
I wish I could already predict how low cards like the Lugia will go so I know when to buy
>>59603026all you need to know is that it's just been 2 days since launch. it can and will go lower for at least another few weeks.
My local tcg store wanted 200 for trainer boxes today. You read that right.
>>59602936You should have centered him for emphasis. I think having the warm colour sandwiched between the cool greens and blues would have also balanced the piece a bit better
>>59602855at first i thought this is one of those ironic comments to get likes.Then i see it's probably Discord and that faggot actually PAID to make his nickname GOLD and with MASTERBALL next to it.so it's 100% genuine. The dude actually thinks like that.He also probably likes dogs over cats (and prefers pitbulls) and his food photos contain nothing but fried meat.I'm in one of thos scalper/investorcuck discords just for curiosity andthose people are so souless and i even have this "garbage food" folder where i save what they eat.I'm from europe so we have all kinds of neat food but... why the fuck all americans eat is FRIED MEAT.do you guys eat anything else? and if it's not fried meat it's hamburger (of course!)Pokemon Scalpers/Investors are so fascinating to me - i actually keep track on their behaviors and want to understand how their brains work...
>>59602804>classicfag is a petty dickheadAs usual.
bros...i want this card so much...
>>59603126We will both get it. The stamp is kinda okay on this one due to the overlap with the yellow border.It's much worse on this, fuck.
>>59603115You need to publish a documentary on these creatures.
>>59603126>>59603129i hope, anon. I wasn't opening packs for so long. gonna go full into this set and probably will get something good.The art Deco mewtwo is also cool. a lot of nice things to pull. And finally an easier way to get lugia/magikarp/the zard without selling your kidney
>>59603137The stamp really blows on that one too
>>59603140i adapted not to see it. After all it's "30".it will happen only one time in our entire lifes. Having 30th anniversary stamp is okay (unlike for example just "25").
>>59603115Not all of that looks fried
>>59603143The stamp japan used for 25th was a lot less cringe than the pika head. They really should have gone with that for 30th.
>>59603143What do you mean by that, 25th is also one time
>>59603106Yup. Hitting a large retailer purchase is the best you can get right now. Pokemon center has been inactive for a while, they already dumped out their etbs and bundles. Only UPC left god knows when. TCG stores want 200-300 dollars for ETBs. When large retailers sell them for 70-80.
>>59603166Mini tins and ditto collections are still coming too or did the Pokemon Center go through pre-orders for those already?
>>59603126the glittery border ruins it for me. the original reverse holo from Aquapolis looks better than this
>>59603149>What do you mean by that, 25th is also one timeThe thirtieth anniversary is a significant, golden milestone.anniversaries like 25, 22, or 35 aren't as important; they aren't "round-number" anniversaries.The next big thing after 30 is 50. (35-40 is "meh" of a date).So i'm very proud i have an opportunity to live through a 30th anniversary and it just started this week.I will cherish these cards with 30th Stamp for years. I'm not sure i will live long enough to see 50th anniversary so im sure fucking thin i will enjoy every single minute of 30th anniversary.
>>5960319725th is a quarter century and much more significant than 30th.
>>59603187>original reverse holo from Aquapolis looks better than thiswell good luck with buying an original Aquapolis lugia in perfect mint condition.
>>59603201i disagreeYou probably not old enough to understand numbers. Nobody fucking cares about 25/35/45It's usually 30-50
>>59603177Mini tins are already gone but you're right that ditto collections haven't appeared yet.
>>59603204What surprises me is that even the Japanese version is so fucking rare. At least the other Crystal types are more affordable, so hopefully I'll be able to add one of them to my collection someday.
>>5960320625 is not even remotely similar to 35/45 in significance. You seem to be the one that doesn't understand numbers.
how many doggos would you value a 30th UPC at
Costco better get 30th anniversary stock in. I just want to open some fuckin packs.
First 4 packs from Amazon arrived.
>>59603312my condolences...
>>59603312Why are they in nazi speak?
>>59603323The Pokemon are racist
>>59603312>masskito>mosquitoheh, made me chuckle
>>59603326>not ultrabestie
>>59603323>>59603325You both made me have a silly moment, thinking of the german fans having to deal with scalpers.
>>59603283dude it's a life-thingPeople care only 30th anniversary.then they move on until 50th hits hard.nobody gives a shit about fucking 25th "anniversary". It's that awkward timeline when you finished your student years and looking for job/not knowing what to do.stop coping (i assume you are hater who hates glitter/rgb cards or some other stuff like that). There is nothing better than RIGHT NOW. the 30th anniversary.This set is legendary. It will be remembered loved and adored for years to come and in the future people will be jealous of not experiencing the epic 30th anniversary and not pulling these cards themselves.Seethe/cope/dilate.
>>59602919This anon is right>>59603126Why? The glitter border and stamp are atrocious. Especially since the didn't even do the whole border. Pokémon TCG fags really have no taste, evident in the recent price increases on some of the ugliest cards ever printed like Prime cards
>>59603344where did you get this picture of me?
>>59603345in terms of just pokemon 20th had great stuff25th had garbage bin recycled card choices30th has great stuff and some good recycles
>>59603289Extremely degenerate binder spread with no organizing principles
>>59603350I asked chatGPT for a cool badass pokemon fan in the prompt.
>>59602855Good, Pokemon should continue overprinting and keeping the old WOTC hit rates so these stupid scalper investor fucks go away
>>59603289>>59603387I mean good god, if I were just a touch more autistic, I think I might seize up looking at this. Mix of eras, mix of languages (you almost had a fully Japanese page, but you inexplicably fucked it up), mix of gimmicks, one of those Classic Collection pseudo-cards thrown in for some reason. The beasts are at least in dex order, but the birds right under them are not. Could have had a nice tag team spread, but we’ve got a snorlax and a vintage Charizard thrown in for some reason. Really just horrifying to behold.
>>59603347>Why? The glitter border and stamp are atrocious.i disagreeAlso show your original mint condition Lugia if you like the previous one that much over this one, contrarian faggot
>>59603413Glitter border is GOATed, stamp is just part of the anniversary cards, so it is what it is.
>>59603387>>59603408Hahahahaha chill the fuck out, it makes sense to me and it's my binder. It's one of the last pages and I decided to fill it with legendary Pokemon and bought some tag team things.
>>59603408>The beasts are at least in dex order, but the birds right under them are notOops, I will actually fix that.
My local finally had its stock show up last night to be bought today. Apparently people lined up overnight to get their hands on it. I will never, ever see one of these packs in person. Just another thing that covid ruined.
Nice, I have 3 anniversary cards. The pika by accident, and the evolutions&generations just because they looked cool. Thought I had the rattata from evolutions but it's just the normal version.
>>59603424>>59603429>it makes sense to meA chilling glimpse into the very mouth of madness.
>>59603418>Also show your original mint condition Lugia if you like the previous one that much over this one, contrarian faggot
>>59603474You dumb retard, I’m agreeing with your appraisal of the anniversary cards! It’s the other guy you’ve got beef with.
>>59603387I see the vision.>dogs>birds>holos.cards with similar art styles/action lines>snorlax and snorlax>moonrunes
>>59603479Every time I look, I see some new element of disorganization. Why only one shiny beast? Why place the birds below the dogs? Just two of the three birds are vintage Sugimori illustrations (granted, I don’t think Articuno ever got a Sugimori card). There’s an almost complete page of Arita tag teams, but inexplicably one hideous 5ban tag team. I can understand totally unfocused binder pages (cards placed in order of time obtained or something), but this dude couldn’t even commit to either organization or chaos, and I think that’s the worst part about this spread.
>>59603429>>59603424These are borderline explicable, or at least they don’t strain the eyes. No idea what’s going on with the set cards, but I can kind of see what’s going on with the promos. what do you do if you get, say, the Black Star Meowth? Do you just shift every card after it down a slot?
>>59603469I'll explain but you won't care or understand. It was the end of the binder, I had spare cards. One bing the Entei from that Neo binder (same with Charizard). So I wanted the other 2 cats, I liked the shiny Suicune, and the Raikou was cheap and I liked the art.My fossil Zapdos is with my fossil, and I had the Rocket Moltres since I was a kid. I liked the Articuno art so I got it for cheap. Mr. Mime, Raichu, and Garados were just extra holos with nowhere to go.I liked tagteam and I got the 3 birds in English first, but decided to get some more and Japanese was cheaper. So I got a bunch of KANTO and JOHTO ones and basically those were the only ones I liked. So I had space left. I liked the Snorlax so I got it, the Charizard had nowhere to go, and the tag Charizard and Braixen card I got from a pack my friend brought me back from Japan.There's the lore :) updoot and subscribe.
>>59603526>No idea what’s going on with the set cardsIt's not meant to make sense to you. I just put the cards the way I like. And of course the Promos make sense, I put them in numerical order. And with the Meowth I tried twice on ebay years ago and each time the seller fucked me so I returned them. One was NM but had clear tape on the holo. I decided fuck the card. I don't have them all, I got the ones I liked and had plenty from when I was a kid.
>>59603504It's organised the way I organised as a child. Legendaries go here, umm holographics I guess, these ones look kind of the same so throw them there, okay let's go with all gym leaders on this page and then let's go with Dark, Light, normal variations together on this page, okay now let's go by colour from here on, hmm these ones are Japanese so should probably keep them all together too.I can understand his organisation because I lived it as a wee lad. The dogs and birds should be at least in the same colour order though. It looks like he committed to doing blue/yellow/red in differing orders and then realised he didn't have a red card on hand and went Mr Mime's close enough lol
>still buying physical
AHHHH OWWY MY EYES! MY EEYYYESS!
>>59603555Stop it! It huuuurts!
yea anon would hate my ass. I just put cards in order of how much I like them in my binder. ends up being a bunch of random mons together with no theme aside from >I like it
stop spamming your dumbass cards
>>59603578Okay, you're mad. It's okay. But this is a card collector thread. So basically, piss off LOL. Ya like this?
>>59603578oops sorry I didn't mean to quote you
>>59603578No.
>>59603578Nah.
>>59602804You're really focused on the value of the cards instead of a person's enjoyment of them. You're the one who sounds like a """hypecattle""" to me.
>>59603326I bought Guzzlord in german because>schlingking
>>59603578
Another card from generations. I messed up and thought it was worth more, and thought I'd got a great deal. I overpaid, fugg. Annoying, but mistakes generally are.>>59603598That's nice. It's on my list for komiya.
>>59603625Yes I will have to get the jap version for the pokekyun card. That will have to come later.
How do reprints of old and highly valuable cards affect the original cards usually speaking?Like the Lugia reprint. Will it have an effect on the situation of the OG aquapolis version? Is it gonna go down because many people will be content with the stamped reprint? Or is it gonna go up because seeing the new card reminds people that card exists and more seek it out now?
>>59603658The new version is ugly af so I doubt it'll affect the original.
>>59602475Oh, so now pricing is too expensive and manipulated on newly released product.
>>59602475i'm glad these absolute pieces of crap are the chases, i can buy the rest of the set for cheap
>>59603798Lugia seems to be the most popular card of the set going by the popular sorting on CM
>>59603288>Trading an ever apreciating for a liabilityWhy the fuck would anyone do this lol
>>59602475the non puke mew SIR is 100000x better
Scalperbros will just abandon 30th and focus on Delta Reign and beyond
>>59603658My intuition is, if anything, it might serve to renew or reinvigorate interest in the older cards or archetypes featured.
>>59603575>bunch of random monsBetter than the half-organized mess the other anon’s posting.
>>59602931Good news for you not a single mew has sold on tcgplayer and ebay sold listings have been as low as $1500 (with an average around $3000 though)
>>59603862variety is the spice of life. You sound boring and lame.
>>59602855This has to be a troll
>>59602919Red Green Blue order isn't the worst thing in the world
>>59602818I look at this image and I see a future full of sun damaged cards
>>59603625Loli feet
>>59603958I can't control how you think, but I see a wholesome image.
>>59603413I'll show you my Ho-Oh instead, since he is the superior mon :^)
>>59603974let that anon cook
>>59602475>Here's your non-stamped cardLmao, wtf were they thinking?
>>59603984I almost like it but they really just hit posterise or something in photoshop, so lazy.
>>59603984I wouldn't even know what to do with this card if I ever get it out of a fucking pack
>>59603977I know, I should have kept quite, but just been arguing on another board, and I think I brought some of that attitude with me, and thought he was thinking that was my reason for getting it.
>>59603984They made it was ugly on purpose and knew faggots with no taste would slurp it up
>>59602475That's cheap af.
>>59603984Social experiment, investorbros will actually buy them from scalpers while normal people rip their packs for the actual good cards
>>596040191 seller with 1 item on his list of things, joined this year, 15k. That's a scam. The 2 images he ha of the card, is the front (no sleeve) but the image of the back of the card it is in a sleeve.Any investoor want to see if it is a scam? I'm just a poor brokie collecting slop.
>>59604029I doubt it. Putting the card on its face risks scratching it so they sleeved it. Just some basic bitch ebay seller who wants to cash in his winnings
>>59604055Weird how if it was from packs he's pulled, where are the rest of the things?I should say that I overthink things a lot, and get called schizo a lot, so probably is just a normal seller.Do you get dubious if you see a mexican scalper with lots of investmoont type stuff? If I see them on a vid I think cartel money.
>>59604077I don't know, I avoid that shit like plague. It's makes you dumber by proximity
>>59603994Oh I know exactly what I'm doing. I'm selling it.
>>59603582How much for the Hitler?
>>59604090I spent a couple of hours watching scalpers fighting with each other in stores this morning (youtube). Saw a short on here of a scalper/scammer crying so I wanted to see more as it had cheered me up.
>>59603115I'm doing research myself. Would you be interested in collaborating our findings?I'm planning on starting a podcast and one of the topics I wanted to cover was this perpetual scalping hell Pokemon has landed itself in.If this interests you, reply with a throwaway email address and an upload of the Garbage Food image ending in 7403, I'll reach out when/if I see the reply
>>59604120NTA but they are on ebay. Not too pricey either.Sod it I'll say it, it's cool. Bit of history, I have an old 2 reichsmark coin. I'm tempted to get them.
>>596042092 of my coins. Sorry it's not pokemon related.
>>59604215I believe the 2s are only like 40% silver. 5s are where its at, at around 80% silver. Much more expensive though, of course.
>>59604219Jewgle AI thinks it's 62%, but I'm not bothered about value, it's a cool bit of history. I want to buy those stamps I posted. Good job I live alone, because at 01:00 (ish) out loud I said I'M BUYING SOME NAZI STAMPS!.Nearly bought a decommissioned pistol when I was working. A police pistol, but I'd just read a book about nazi death squads, and it mentioned police being involved a lot, and I thought about it and it was a bit too dark, it could have been used and I had a hippy moment and thought uh oh bad vibes maan. Life is mad, 10 years ago I nearly bought a nazi gun, now I'm watching beard dad vids and into collecting cool (brokie) looking bits of cardboard. And got my stamps as well, and an old banknote from Japan. Really enjoying getting back into collecting cool shit again.
>>59604219My note.
I'm gonna paint some cards. Has anyone here done it before?
>>59604288Nope, but I'm interested in seeing what you'll do.
>>59604246I would have bought the gun though since you're in bongistan its probably still illegal because you can still use it to bludgeon someone. Also, stop reading state propaganda. The evil Germans were the last line of defense against this hellscape we live in now.
>>59603984these look infinitely better than the FUcked up Rares that were put out, despite being designed by the same guy.
Scalping isn't even real, just go out and buy whatever the fuck you want.
>>59604343but its all gone
Found these rare 1/1 cards in the front pocket of my binder. JACKPOT!
>>59604343I would but it's a holiday over here and my local store said that 30th anni stuff doesn't arrive until monday or tuesday
>>59603984It's genius. Low IQ browns are chasing this actual garbage while everyone else is buying the rest of the set for cheap
>>59604364Nice.
>>59604364muscular vileplume and gengar with two crack pipes are awesome. Need hi res scans.
Did I overpay for this? Paid $40 for, It's damaged but the lowest listing is $50 and has a crease through the middle of the card where this one is in the corner. Also has a sick swirl on it and holo bleed to boot (didn't notice when I bought it)
>>59604407who cares
>>59604407are you happy?
>>59604410I care>>59604413very much so, I was beating myself up over passing on this card a month ago. Then I find this for 1/3rd the price, I don't care about condition. I will never sell it.
>>59604423>very much sothen enjoy it and don't question the price
Is holo bleed more common than you would think? Found a bunch of cheap cards with swirls and holo bleed today all in the same binder.
>>59604423so you didn't overpay? Ok, just post your cards then without the shekel counting autism.
sexy swirls
Thank god I waited for this card to crash before buying. Is Naoki Saito washed??
>>59603862>half-organized mess:)
>>59604635it's just a shitty nupokemon character
>>59604635you can't really do much with that character
>>59602417How do you guys store your non-card shit? Things like coins, sleeves, etc?
>>59604692in a box
>>59604692a hole in my backyard
>>59604659this is gorgeous
Mew FUR went up a bit, but the bidding and individual sales seems to be resisting anything above $100.MewTwo FUR on the other hand seems to be holding it. Classic collection Charizard emerged as the top hit (other than RGBs)for the set selling for about $200. It seems that the market realized that hitting a specific classic collection is harder than it seems with selling price increased by quite a bit across all the top classic hits like Lugia, Gengar, Magikarp and Jirachi. On the SAR side Gengar SAR went up by quite a bit, notable sar like day/night parade Pikachu SAR, Mew SAR, Sylveon SAR and Jiirachi SAR seems to be holding.Like I said before, were definitely in the uncharted territory with this set.
>>59604734she's wet
>>59604782
>>59604332Anon, I'm new to this board, not the site, don't worry. Yes my country is truly fucked, probably could still buy it, if I wasn't poor now. I do get money, but every time I do I think "ok look at the list, what do I want?" Speaking of, I have 10 things out for delivery. Woohoo.Sorry for the late reply, I was in bed.
>>59604540I only have a few cards with swirls on, but I agree, they look good. I've not pulled any, only bought them.I wouldn't mind learning how to play the game, and watching some vids, I need a load of energy cards, and lots of each type of energy.
it's over...

>>59604996Kek KWABLet them burn
>>59604635Worst character in the game. At least Taunie is a hot dumb slut.
>>59603984>tfw only care about the stampThank God I'm autistic that way. Does mean I have to grab that Pokemon day Pikachu and the What's Your Favorite promos though.
>>59604692Sleeves go I random tins or my little giveaways binder with coins and cards kids or casual friends might like. Can paste something in the tin window to say what it has in it, which is useful.
>>59604996Hilarious if true, the eventual fate of everybody who buys into a bubble late.
>>59604996Okay this one is a bit too on the nose to be real
>>59604996Good thing I buy singles.
>>59605033That Darkrai tin had a cool Spiritomb card in it.

I've been flipping for the last 10 years and can tell you, this is the end of Pokemon. When Nike started releasing too many Jordans, everyone stopped wearing them. During covid, when Walmart started selling too many inflatable pools... everyone stopped going there. When Rae Dunn pottery became overprinted, all the white women stopped buying. Over printing is the sign of a failing business, and Pokemon is on its last legs. As for me, I'm going to try and return all this inventory. It's useless and no one is buying. Plan on shifting to reselling power tools next. Extremely untapped market and builders have infinite money.
>>59605396Just wait for the current 15 year olds who can't afford the cards they love to become 30 and have money for a second wave of nostalgia
>>59605396good for you or sorry that happened
>>59605396>I've been flipping for the last 10 years and can tell you, this is the end of Pokemon. When Nike started releasing toonobody cares you filthy investorcuck loser
Do you guys even smell like Pokemon? Does America get these shower gels?There's also a purple eevee and espeon one I just showered with the rayquaza one
>>59605509I almost bought some of these last year but decided last second that buying shampoo for children is a bit too much.
>>59605515There's quite some people who buy baby shampoo or hair wash cause they are very mildNot that these are for toddlers, they're just standard shampoo with a pokemon sticker on front
>>59605509I wish I could smell you right now bro..
>>59605509Is the pronunciation of the brand boobshen?Also duschgel, is that what girls use to clean out their lady bits?Pokemon vaginas? Being honest, there's some of those I wouldn't catch. Don't stick your dick in crazy.
>>59605530https://youtu.be/_LArvuxYwos
>>59605530sadly, crazy aren't insane enough to date me so I can't stick it even if I wanted to
>>59605530It's just shower gel what are you talking about duschen = to shower
Man it's hard to resist, I do really want to open some 30th myself as well but fuck paying those prices right now
>>59605549not him, but dusch looks like it would be pronounced like douche.
>>59605541I thought so. >>59605549Sorry I was thinking of douche. I didn't even think to google translate it from German, I just thought it was German for douche.
>>59605554No need to pay scalpers, just find whatever MSRP product you can find.The print is high and the demand is high, at some point rippers will get tired and stop buying because they will get almost all of the cards they want.Months from now it'll be like Perfect Order and 25th Celebrations on shelves.
>>59605554just wait for the next wave and make sure you have Pokemon Center alerts set up.
>>59605564I know, I am waiting. But It's not easy to relax and tell yourself to just wait some weeks, all I'm saying.
>>59605542You might find one, you never know. I do think there is somebody out there for each of us. We're fucked if she's on the other side of the world though, amarite.
>>59605569>You might find one, you never knowbut I do knowI'm just a 34yo loser with no job, no degree and still a virgin. I don't go out and I can't speak with women either. This is only the result of my own decisions and I think it's better that wayI'm happy spending the little money I get doing some odd jobs here and there on games and cards
>>59605568That's just FOMO kicking in, ignore FOMO30th Celebration will be printed on the ground for the next 2-3 years
Should I go for 3 row or 4 row binders?3 row works for evos but 4 row is more in line with the TCG
>>59605583There's a lot of trios, there's a bunch of full-page 3x3 mosaics. It's more pleasing to the eye too.
>>59604635She doesn't appeal to the waifu crowd because she's a big lesbo.
>>59605577>I'm happy spending the little money I getIKTF.I won't tell you how to think or act in regards to the other thing.
Yesterday a guy looked at me with a bit of an expression as he was going through my binder and saw this card
>>59605603reverse holos are ugly as fuck
>59605396Two more weeks until pokemon becomes toilet paper You heard it here first folks
>>59605577Same Billions must die
>>59605664I really want a Lillie toiler paper for my collection
i had no idea that the story behind 5BAN cards is so deep...https://youtu.be/ws0XRbgm2ag(some autisti would screech at tube-link but i don't care - i was always curious about this whole lore behind 5ban cards...finally a Pokemon cards video that is not about investing or "collecting")
If you don't buy all the pokemon cards NOW, tomorrow there will be none
>>59605803wtf going out right now to buy them all!
>>59605583You mean columns? 4x3 is pretty standard for a binder, but I have never seen one with 4 rows and 3 columns
>>59605624Did he notice the cum stains?
>>59605661You're ugly.
Are they ever going to reprint blackbolt whiteflare? Or is it fucking over if I wanna collect that set now?
What is actually fun to open right now? Set wise. >not too expensive to rip>but also not so bad that there's next to nothing one might want or be able to pull from it
>>59605624The JP version of this card cost 10x more than the EN version lol. A lot of JP SM full art trainers are pricey in general.
>>59605860a first partner collection
>>59605860prismatics
>>59605922>>59605913I think I'll do some Paldea Evolved. There's a lot in there I'd still love to get and the 3 pack blisters are "okay" price wise.
>>59605860Perfect Order, Chaos Rising and Pitch Black are always available at MSRP
>>59605661you have bad taate
>>59605884Nips take their waivues very seriously, your half-baked western hebephilia can't compare.
>thought japanese first partners collection came out with 30th set >it comes out next month 2 nukes weren't enough
>>59605396>Plan on shifting to reselling power tools next. Extremely untapped marketSerious question: Are you self aware thst encouraging scalping power tools is a bad idea? Do you want to live in a world where power tools are hard to buy for an ordinary person?
Do any of you recommend on set grading for psa? When there's an event and you give them the card early in the morning for them to give it to you later? I've never graded before and don't want my shit stolen by deliverymen or "lost/damaged" by PSA (aka them fucking the card up and giving me a shitty one like what they did to the lenticular deoxys). I'm grading because I'm hoping it'll get a psa 10 (lmao I know, pop control, I know). I already had a buddy look at the card with some special lab equipment and we agreed it should be a 10 or a 9 at least. Need to cash it out because of need, not desire.
>>59606138I suggest not wasting your money on grifters charging you for arbitrary grades for cardboard
>>59606182>ugly core
Engrish could NEVER
card should be okay?
I got the classic collection N and I'm not gonna lie there's too many fucking glitters it looks horrible.>>59606364Uhh... gl...
>>59606307You're posting the busiest, glittery modern cards from reddit. That looks disgusting.
>>59605940if you can find paldea evolved for cheap sure it's a good set
PokeMiku cards and some other stuff arrived today.I'm a collector not a photographer please excuse the shitty image.
>>59606655even for a non-photographer, that picture quality is assare you still using a fucking flip phone from 2008?
>>59606688A Kodak Easyshare Z981 that I found in my grandma's storage. It really is terrible, isn't it?
>>59606692>It really is terrible, isn't it?it's all blurry, bro...but nice cards so congrats
>>59605521e-reader reverse holos are pure soul. i should have bought more of them when i was young, but i was young and poor...
>>59606700Thanks.I tried to see if maybe it's better at capturing fewer objects, but no.
Card was literally MP-HP condition and the guy wanted $100 over market because of the HD swirl. Fucking hell
>>59605521wich sleeves do you use? they look pretty glossy
>>59606783Off Amazon, perfect fit, brand is Mlikero. And damn these sealed Marill cards have more than doubled recently.
>still buying modern
Whoever said lugia would be 1500 yen get your bitch ass out here
>>59606826i told you fucks Lugia was going to keep going up. The classic collection is hard to pull and there's tons of worthless garbage in it.
>>59606826we dont need your anime reaction commentary shit on /tcc/
Finally got a Giratina V alt art that isn't either beat to shit or so off-center its almost a misprint
So do you think it will even be possible for them to print enough of the 30th set that you could walk into a big box store and actually pick some up without having to be there when the store opens? I'm willing to line up, but every time I think about it, it makes me feel disgusted.
>>59606734I could see if the card was LP, but MP? Is he fucking for real? Take better care of the cards and THEN you'll be able to get people to pay over market lmao.
>>59606840>Hard to pullIt's 1 in 4 packs anon, that's easier than the SIR's which are 1 in 8.
>>59607089Well ebay has people taxing for HD swirls. I'd pay like 20% over for one if it's a card I love, but fucking $100 over market is aggressively jewish.
>>59607098Classic Collections are 1/10 and SIRs are 1/20
Where's the best place to buy old japanese cards?
>>59604659binderfags = scrapbooking addicted female behavior. japanese = poorfagknow the difference.
>>59607213I love Lv X's
>>59607330>>>/biz/
>>59605860Chinese gem packs, maybe prismatics, their gambling laws mean they have to have something holo in every pack so they’re fun to open.
>>59607290Tokyo
>>59606826Investorbros need to find "a" card to latch onto, to justify having wasted their money on this set and to keep up the hype for the brand, because they know if this is crown zenith 2.0 their bags will tank hard.Lugia is the designated cope card atm, because it's clear that the RGB mews will go down like the rainbow cards in the future
I’m getting married in Vegas next month, i want to take packs with me to rip while my wife gambles in the casino. What sets would be fun to rip?For now, I have 3 151 packs and 4 ascended hero packs, was thinking about get an AH etb
>>59605884Marnie guy here, slowly building up a collection of her cards, and yeah, they can get pretty expensive. I'm just thankful she doesn't have any cards that were only given out in limited tournament packs, because that would absolutely destroy me and my wallet.
>>59607290JP Mercari. You just have to follow the same rules as you would on eBay by making sure the seller has good ratings and a high number of sales.
>>59607477Marnie a cute
>>59606826>>59606840>>59607415investors are turbonormies that don't understand a thing.1) is it easy to pull stuff?Yes. but it's with Pikachus and cards like...i dunno... Kamo-o or whatever that random dragon's name i can't remember. Or Mousehold.2) Actual wanted cards are super rare.
>>59607517I love V-Union cards. Great Marnie pages, anon
>>59607545Thanks! I thought V-Unions were cool too.
>>59607517It's surprising how many Marnie cards were given out as promos here in the States. The milk box alone gave you four of them, and that's not even including everything else that was great about the set.
>>59607556Yeah she got a lot of love. I need to get her milk box at some point.
>>59607563>I need to get her milk box at some point.It's hella expensive nowadays, but the fact that it comes with seven old booster packs helps soften the blow a little.
>>59607517Marnie was made for attitude correction through sex
>>59607536I love how nobody actually likes RGB Mew and the common sentiment with pulling it is "If I got it, I'd sell it.", which isn't a good sign for the cards longevity lol.
>>59607699That could still work in its favor if it becomes "infamous", but having loads of prints should save it from gaining that notoriety
>>59607703I think what makes it work is that there's 3 of them so there's a collectability aspect to getting all of them even if they are insanely ugly. It's too much work for the billion dollar empire but it'd be cool if Pokemon let people send in all 3 to swap for an exclusive full color mew, sort of like combining them. People would go coo-coo crazy for that alone.
>>59607699Well duh.They did that on purpose.>let's make three super ugly super rare cards so the only ones who'd ever want it are the investor fuckers who out themselves as such when they parade that card aroundMasterful troll
