this card is easily the best trainer illustration of all time. Sucks that its only in Chinese, but at least it has Japanese texture.
>exclusive Misty's tummy will probably be hundreds I hate chinks so much it's unrealI hate japs catering to chink market despite hating each other so much it's unreal
>>59666099Yeah I thought so. Leave your basement and get some exercise someday, maybe it'll help with your low t.
>angry hilda>Instead of hot sexy artPozzed and gay
>>59667085I really don't like it, her hair looks weird, like an ass.
>>59667116enjoy dying alone and miserable
>59667114>59667144Tranny preddit raider postWhere do you think you areYeah how dare I the customer want sexy cards like the ones of old instead of sterile soulless Chinese slop
I went wild lads, and I only need to buy (once these cards come) Zinnia's trust for my storm emeralda page. Going to see if I find the card at the card show next week, if not I'll just buy it.
>>59667085They got her sprite expression perfectly I need it now
>>59667123>ass girl has ass hairhmmm....
I just spent 300€ on Mercari
>still buying physical
>>59667153Sorry, meant to reply to >>59667114>>59667144I don't know how I messed it up, I'm new here XD
>>59667055I want to be an investorfag but I'm starting out poor. Is it worth dipping my ties in building up a collection of sub-$50 vintage cards or is it pointless if you don't already have the big bucks to throw around for PSA 10s and shit?
we like to collect here not sell our pretty cards
lol sure buddy
>>59667977I've been in the same boat lately but I don't think you'll ever get help on that subject here.Besides these threads have been pretty dead lately.
ive been trying to insert a "stage" (via pkmn card template maker) but it wouldn't let me... how disappointing (I dont have access to photoshop)
Paid $15 extra for a PSA 9 because another seller didn't have the right card number on his raw listing.
Who's the stupid nigger choosing the images of /tcc/ threads?Btw... I want two cards but I'm not paying the extra +100%/200% right now, I genuinely hate all of you.
>>59667085Hilda and her Faithful Tepig (who evolved into Enboar)
>>59668146>(I dont have access to photoshop)use gimp
>>59667085Surely its going to come to jp and eng right? Is it just a Touko alt or a new card? I cant read chinese.
>>59668376insanely overrated doujin
Hello guys, i'm very happy to share some news!Anon from >>59664541 here and thanks to those that replied to me earlier as well.pic related, i just ordered it last night! It will come today. 1x poster collectionit's the first time i'll get something like this! :3hope to get etb next or maybe that new "up" thing that comes in day/night version
>>59668451None of the chink exclusives have come to jp or eng, you have to swallow the chinkpill
Japanbros how do I browse sites like mercari and similar for ARS slabs that are not 10s? If I search [name of the card/pokemon in jp] "ARS10" excluding "PSA" I find results, but if I just search "ARS" it doesn't work and shows a bunch of unrelated stuff.Are japanese so autistically perfectionist that they only sell 10s? I have seen their yellow labels in physical stores, they look NM most of the time so maybe that's a thing.
>>59667113>cheap plentiful packs that are easy to obtain with great pull rates and guaranteed SARs in boxes>really pretty exclusive cardsI’m so fucking jealous of how nice China’s market is
>>59667383What did you buy, anon? I also like JP mercari for cards>>59668146Post what you want added and I’ll shoop it for you
>>59668525Looks like you just have to add the grading number you want to ARS when searching?
Amazon has officially become a scalper
>>59668597How's zenmarket compared to buyee and other similar ones?
These are my hits from simplified Chinese
>>59668950Wait, S-Chinese got the anniversary set the same time as everyone else. That's interesting because their main sets haven't even gotten to the Mega Evolutions block yet.
>>59667085>>59667113China won
>>59667113This is the first chink one I want to keep my Misty collection complete.Does any store even import them to yurop or do I have to buy directly from them.
I just realized I need to buy 2 copies of the chink misty, one for the Kanto AR binder and one for the Misty spread
>>59668591Some recent jap PC stamped Pikachu promos in ARS10. Patiently waiting to get raped by customs in 2 months.
>>59669093The chink exclusive SARs seem to always go down in price but the gem set exclusive ARs never do. Good luck bud
Just pulled this, selling it would cover the cost of every pokemon card I have bought since beginning this hobby last week. On the otherhand it looks rad
>>59668516Only 19 quid? That one is 50 in sweden, retail. Is that a special give away for people on bennies??like charity?How else 19??? Nice grab greatest ally
>>59669263Yeah, if you tell them you're autistic at the jobcentre they give you pokèmon 60% off coupons
>coworker gets a bit into pokemon cards because of his 10yo kid>give him advice on some sets to find at retail price, some cheap but cool art singles to get for the kid, help him avoid scammers, etc>fast forwards 2 months >he buys PSA10 slabs for himself and not the kid, and hoards sealed boxes "for later"It's over, poor kid
>leave sleeved card out for a few days>It gets covered in dust particles that are impossible to remove completelyHow do you win against the dustchads?
I have a magearna ex tin box sealed. How much is that shit worth?
I don't want to sell my copy since it has 2 border swirls and one swirl in the frame. But it's my least favorite mid era Gardevoir
Damn, Cinderace has 0 (zero) good illustrations
>>59670201galar in general has been completely fucked this tcg generation.
Should I sell my complete in box copies of Pokemon Emerald and Pokemon SoulSilver (with pokewalker) for more cards?
>>59667085Never bought a Chinese card before.That art is amazing.Where do I buy Chinese Pokemon cards?
>>59670201Rayquaza has a shit ton of ugly art as well
>>59669821how did you respond to that information?you are deliberately talking to him less and less about pokemon and feeding him worse and worse advice on your way out of exiting any future potential for him to bring up that topic of conversation with you again, correct?
>>59670684I opened my eyes and now I exclusively buy sealed and stab people outside of Walmarts. I also started a whatnot channel.
With 50 bucks I just got all the JP ARs I wanted from the 30th set. Gonna wait another month for the SARs prices to settle
>>59668947About the same. They give you an increasingly large line of credit the more you buy which is a little odd but I guess means you only have to convert currency once to pay for everything before you ship. Shipping is fucking expensive because of current year but you can get discounts occasionally, and they mostly run shopping discounts on random fishing shops or rakuten.
imagine grading lmao
>>59671035Translation: Your card was a PSA10 and very expensive so we "lost it" in a transit theft eventWe will instead give you a PSA5 version of that card and a discount for your future grading services, thank you fuck you bye.
>>59671035PSA paid the victims the full value of their cards and grading fees. No other grading company protects its customers like this.
>>59669244Very nice, it looks proper cool.You could keep it safe for a bit to admire it, then sell it if it gets to a time you need the money.
>>59671035Pay for stupid servicesWin stupid prices
>>59670537Fug's good cards dwarf the bad ones with how cool they are, Cinderella has literally nothing but 5ban garbage
this is your sign to buy the poster collection
>>59671140>PSA paid the victims the full value of their cards and grading fees. No other grading company protects its customers like this.They rarely do though>>59671197His first mistake was posting this in PSAgrading, they ban anyone and lock threads that suggest the company is corrupt or has corrupt employees. You had me in the first have because deliverymen have been stealing stuff but when I saw this post I'm not surprised it was psa
>>59671347All of the SIRs outside of Mew/Mewtwo are very easy to roll forFor the classics you'll get everyone save for Lugia and Charizard, maybe the UPC will drop more of them
>>59671197How would you avoid this scenario? Has anyone ever lost their cards with PSA at a same day grading event that they hold on shows? Because if so then this process is fucked
>>59671140*half value
>>59671413you avoid it by not grading lmao
>>59671347I haven't seen stuff to buy since surging sparks
>>59670507UmAnyone?
>>59671401Well so far i've only bought a binder set and a poster set, no boosters or etbs are avaiable where i live hence my only two purchases have been via amazon, if i can get an etb i'll be over the moon, hoping for the upc sets too when they come out yes, when is that again, later this month or november?
>>59671607In China
>>59671347I'm trying.
>>59671607Swedish stores unironically sells them at normal boster prices thats how bad its gotten some are only 29kr which is like 2.5 yanke dollaridoos, some even sell korean cards...
>>59671607Aliexpress, or any LCS usually have them after a bit of time. Just check the store ratings and reviews on Aliexpress.
>>59671993Why do I both love and hate PSA slabs at the same time
>>59671035>>59671197>1 in every million people has a shitty experience with a company that vastly dominates its fieldYes welcome to the adult world where some people win the lottery and some people get robbed. You can accept the risks like everybody else or live in your cave in fear forever.
>>59670201A couple of those are fine illustrations he is just a badly designed pokemon
Some recent pulls and a few favorites
When is vintage gonna crash so I can start buying again?
>>59671197>Pay to get your cards stolen
>>59672173>has no cards to postiktfb>>59672180When they release Base Set 3
can someone extend the art via photoshop genfill? thanks
>>59672228What possessed them to not make this a full art?
Lmao this was like $400 a few months agohttps://ebay.io/m/j9Te0p
>>59672241Try not to make retarded comments
>>59672244It show how fucking easy it is to manipulate the market when it is not regulated.The vintage slab stonks is solely on Gamespot buying up all the slabs and then mark it up the value for their $10k gacha.
>>59671993>>59672252>>59672263>didn't hide the serial code and numberYoink, these cards are mine now.
One step closer to my Kiriaski master set. Not in love with S&M Rosa so I'll probably buy that one last.
>>59671607I purchased off Temu and Ali express and both legit 30th anniversary monkenetic was one that I remember off Temu
This dude was legit on Temu for 30th anniversary booster boxes
>>59672254>It show how fucking easy it is to manipulate the market when it is not regulated.>Wanting gubberment interference for fucking toysStop posting any time
>>59671843>>59672301Thanks! Last place I would have thought to look for legitimate cards.
why can't older cards have HQ scans like yugioh does? seriously nearly all of them are blurry, have jpeg artifacts
>>59668947I've had good experiences with them, but I stopped using their service once they raised the fee for Mercari items to 800 yen. Fuck that!!.
>>59671607集換社-卡牌交易市場Type this in on the app store to see local prices in the mainland, but that is if you somehow find a proxy buyer, and want to give up your soul to “”chang”” ,so you can get your hilda for a few shekels cheaper. Hope this helps.
>>59672263>Strudel
>>59672244That's the seller's asking price, not the set market price (unless some goons fall for it). Wash trading doesn't count
>>59672782That link was for an auction that already ended so now it's taking you to some other listing. Search for that garchomp under sold items and you'll see.
>>59672784I'm not surprised for PSA 10s, this is why I'm looking to sell my PSA 7/8 Lv. X cards. Even those are going for a few thousand which is ridiculous given even the promo ones were certainties from a tin. The moment their supply goes up from early zoomers realising their value, those will tank hard.
Bought some more china slop boxes for some deck cases they come with
I love China and China loves me. Still no 30th boxes where I live btw.
CODES IF ANYONE WANTS.I'm not saying this as a BREAKING NEWS type thing, I get you'll know, but I'm just finding out.Those mini tins are a bit shit aren't they.I thought it would be a proper card at least as it's the same price more or less as a trip booster pack. Oh well I have a cool tin now for some mon charms I have, and salamence on the tin and that was the main reason for getting it (thinking I'd get a proper salamence card was the secondary reason).
Chinese cubone came today as well as the tin.
>>59673083They're good fpr taking a handful of my favorite cards on the road. As someone who commutes a lot, they're handy to have.
>still buying Cuckzard
Yes.
>>59673146Very nice anon.
>>59673105Do you play the game, or just like having them with you?I don't play the game, just like the look of some cards, and the story of some mons.
>>59673230I don't play the game either, just enjoy admiring the artwork. And I do have binders but actually holding the cards is more fun.
>>59673249There are some really cool cards, cheap af as well.I have 3 binders, but my main one is one I regret buying, it's 4x3 and quite heavy now it's getting a few cards in it (I'm weak due to health issues). I also didn't know anything about team rocket at the time, and it has TR artwork, but now I know a little bit I'm in a fuck team rocket kind of mood I regret it. Oh well.
i just wanna print out my cards without the hassle of buying expensive ones, but literally all the images are trash, not one decided "oh lets scan this for better quality"
>>59673122say that to my dark blastoise and not online
>>59673280I would like to print out some artwork to go with some cards I have, but I only have access to a low quality printer.
For me they're valuable because they're official and arbitrarily rare.
>>59672752why is it so deformed
>>59673325It's being chased by a rapist houndoom
>Buy some singles>Seller sends the package>He used 2 big boobed one piece girl cards as cushions for the actual cards i bought
>>59673394Jackpot BB.
>>59673291I have a non-holo Rocket and a regular holo Legendary Collection.Sadly, I won't be back to my home until friday :^)
>>59672716Very nice Anon, I also have this set with Togepi and the one with Ledyba both sealed.I would like to complete the half set with Mew but it's quite expensive.
Question for anyone with Legendary Treasure Radiant Collection, do any of the cards (aside from the full arts and EXes) have an actual holofoil layer like a normal holo? I have a full set of Generations RC and some of them like Charizard and Froslass have one, but the only LT RC card I have is Piplup and that just has a sparkly "reverse" holo bleed layer. Just curious.
>>59672569Superbuy is usually your friend in these situations.
>>59673394Post booba
>>59673540yeah they do
>>59673695Copycat can't even compete
>>59673797damn that's nice, I still need that reverse holo for my copycat binder
>>59673797Shirahoshi and Ulti are top tier waifus
>>59673797Source for mint slabbed boob girls?asking for a friend
>>59673797I have the pidgeot card on my wishlist. Cool stuff.
>>59673699Which ones? It looks like the Serperior and Gardevoir do, maybe Purrloin but not the rest?
What does everyone use to carry their binders to events? I have a messenger bag, but it's not fitting much anymore and i need an upgrade.
I get happy whenever a vendor gets robbed.
Okay so I'm relatively new to card collecting but like this has got to be the ugliest card ever printed right? Like ignoring cards that are clearly stylistic choices.
>>59674268Just a basic backpack I use for day hiking. Why would you want to bring any more than a couple of binders and maybe a bulk box? You're just asking to get jumped by some nogs.
KEK STARS
>still buying modern
>>59672716luv keiko fukuyama
It's me or the volume of sold card is capitulating?I keep seeing the same cards at ridiculous above market prices over and over again, as if people were selling a fucking Monet painting.
>>59667977too difficult to explain. but i can tell you one thing. i wouldnt invest in pokemon cards in general at this point. everything could be explained as overvalued to some degree. the biggest point of contention is the modern market. this should be the easiest point of entry for new collectors. but due to greed and everyone being a perpetual fart sniffer thinking they pulled the next charizard card that will brings all the goyim to the auctions. most spending decsions and "plays" out there are few and far between. id recommend fucking off for an indefinite amount of time until things can become reasonable for you to take in product, rather than continually spending money in cards that may never be worth a lot in the end. you're welcome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sj8UbmdV7bk
>>59674005e-reader cards are mooning as i type thisBUY ITDO IT NOW
Buying single cards is just not the same. I still do it but pulling something cool first hand is the real thrill.
>>59674873I'm poor for a bit now, I have a card show coming up this weekend.
What's stopping people from selling fake vending series cards? They don't even have any holo patterns
Someone stole $1 million from a fedex truck stationed right outside PSA offices. PSA: Best I can do is refund you for grading :^)
>>59675365There's more to it that makes PSA look worse, but yeah. Fuck those jews.
What types of vintage cards do you think are poised to make a big jump in value?
I saw last night some slabs with bugs inside but i can't find that post anymore. Did anyone see it?

>>59675456huh I see it now I guess I'm blind
vastly overpaid for a 30th anniversary booster from japan and got pretty worthless cards from it. Walked a little farther down the mall and found they were selling them from a vending machine for 8 bucks cheaper
>>59675396literally all of them
>that'll be 715 usd plus tax, sir. I honestly don't understand why someone would pay hundreds or thousands for a card that's been completely trashed. If you can afford that, you should be able to afford it in a better condition.

>>59676226Why did you post a screenshot of some website?
Hate that the focus went from the Pokemon to the trainers because 3rd worlders cant empathize with anything that isnt human. inb4 he starts spamming his Hololive shit again.
melty
They want me to pay $180 for a card when the trending price for the month is $60. Funny kids.See you again at $80 at best in 3 months.
>>59676343I'll take Hololive cards over whatever is typically discussed here instead of card posting lmao
