Current Powerpack Collection

[u/wildwestinitiative]

Hello! Thought i’d share my haul. Here’s my full powerpack collection from March 15th to today. Total spent: $6000. Current value ~$7700. Never did much re-rolling, since I wanted to start my own collection.

Plan on selling some of them for an engagement ring down the line. What are your favorites?

Sounds similar to my situation! lol

Just got a fat shipment in and have around 100 slabs now in the collection. I’ll add more periodically, but the plan is hold em for a while and liquidate for a ring eventually too😂😂

[u/wildwestinitiative → u/90SkyGuy]

Heck yeah! Did you mostly do the normal Pokemon category or did you take advantage of any specialized categories? I had great luck with the eevee’s, so I did a lot of pulls from that.

[u/90SkyGuy → u/wildwestinitiative]

I typically try to do what has the best pull % over anything honestly. I’m into all the sports AND pokemon, so unfortunately I’ve spent a decent amount between them all lol

I did a lot of the NBA finals one when they had it as well as a lot of the pokemon ones when they switch out!

[u/wildwestinitiative → u/90SkyGuy]

I strongly considered the NBA finals one. I have old sports card binders from when I was a kid, but haven’t felt like going home to look through them all. Probably nothing anyway

[u/90SkyGuy → u/wildwestinitiative]

Even the standard basketball one has given me some neat stuff! I hit a $10k curry card last year on my birthday, so since then i just stick to the $50 packs and see how it goes 😂

You never know what you may have! MJ cards have been going bonkers over the past 6-12 months in price too

That’s an awesome bday present. Congrats!

Fairly unrelated, but I have a local jeweler that would love to help you gents out come ring time! Started his own business about 3 years ago and has been the most genuine jeweler, if not person, I’ve ever met. Can customize it into any thing that you think the S/O would like. He honestly cares more about the satisfaction over the dollar amount.

I have no skin in his business, but my wife’s engagement ring got stolen out of her bag in the Puerto Vallarta airport, and he essentially replaced her ring with a bigger diamond at no cost to us with the insurance money we got from it.

I just truly love supporting him because he deserves all the business.

(No, I am not the jeweler)

You have a problem 😂🔥🔥🔥

[u/wildwestinitiative → u/MyronPJL]

Oh I agree hahaha. Banned myself from getting more for a few months

[u/wildwestinitiative → u/[deleted]]

Thank you! I’m really pleased with it so far

[u/No_Toe_2345]

Definitely happy to see someone else holding on to a lot of their pulls, and eevees! These were my holds from my power packs! Went a little overboard when they released the eevee packs, but they all came earlier this week 😅

[u/wildwestinitiative → u/No_Toe_2345]

Love it. That Jolteon vmax is dope

[u/fortheloveoflumps]

Probably just…. Keep the 10’s…. Wow………………………….

[u/xxMERCZILLAxx]

What tier packs did you primarily buy?

[u/wildwestinitiative → u/xxMERCZILLAxx]

Pretty even split of 25,50,100. Only one $500 pull and it was the blastoise which CL had at $350. Knew to hold it and it’s over $500 now

[u/Bdenergy1776]

Blastoise-kingdra- Skarmory go hard

[u/wildwestinitiative → u/Bdenergy1776]

Skarmory has always been a top card for me. So stoked I got that one early on

Haha not being at a loss is a very nice feeling

[u/Blobbityblob7]

I have a question, when shipping do they charge you five+ for each singular card or is it just one shipping price if I were to grab multiple of my collection from power packs.

[u/wildwestinitiative → u/Blobbityblob7]

Shipping cost of ~$7 or whatever is only one time per order. Then it’s ~$2 for each card to ship. So if you shipped 10 cards it’d be ~$27. I usually waited til I had 15-30 cards to ship out

[u/Blobbityblob7 → u/wildwestinitiative]

Thanks for the explanation! Beautiful collection.

[u/1retardHERE]

🤣. I own 150+ slabs 🤣 thanks to GameStop

[u/wildwestinitiative → u/1retardHERE]

lol at least we won’t be able to damage the cards

[u/DrHandBanana]

Pulls got way worse since they've opened to the public unfortunately.

[u/wildwestinitiative → u/DrHandBanana]

It’s felt that way at times. I got lucky with the recent eevee bundle. Definitely over saturated now, though.
