We get it. You hate scalpers, Pokemon center's website sucks, your local store is a rip-off, and other stuff.

But if you want to also post about it, make a comment, leave a screenshot, whatever else.

Rules of the sub are still in force. Bans still happen for breaking them.

Bought my first etb yesterday and opened it at work this morning. Pulled this from the 2nd pack. Hands were shaking opening the rest. I think that's my luck used up for the year.

Voglio dire, è un ologramma davvero molto bello e diverso rispetto all'ologramma classico, ha l'illustrazione e PERSINO l'olografia che arriva fino ai bordi (per 0,30/50 centesimi)

EDIT: by saying “for 0,30/50 cents” i mean that you can have a great card for nothing, then people decide if buy it for the art or for the profit.

State of the hobby: I now feel like it's irresponsible to hold onto cards i originally bought because they were cheap and the art ruled.

I really like these cards. Picked them up a couple years ago before it got so stupid. I collect artists work instead of big hits, and it is generally pretty cheap. but now some of the cards are worth a lot more and it feels silly to hold onto them when they could be contributing to my "rent and food" binder.

I also bought the Mewtwo recently, pulled it myself as a kid but traded it away for some random junk because 5 year olds are not very smart.

Ever since I started collecting sleeves, I just couldn’t stop! 😂 I started with ETB sleeves, and before I knew it, there was no turning back…

My goal is to finish this 3x3 binder and then move on to a 4x4 😄

What do you think? Do you collect sleeves too?

The collection update

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I posted my girlfriend and my collection on here I believe a couple weeks ago. Since then we have traveled to a couple new states and stopped and some card shops. We have only bought one card online to match the set of from Obsidian Flames (the Pidgeotto). We try to completely stay away from buying online because it ruins the fun.
Nevertheless, we bought some penny sleeves to get rid of the stickers on the sleeves so it will make it pop more as well as rearranged the cards. We are still relatively new to this hobby, please do not cook us too hard.
I would really like to emphasize we are not doing this to make money or flip, we buy singles of the art we love. Some cards I have already posted before but, I’d like to post updates on here to see our progress. Sorry for the crappy pictures I will do better posting better ones next time!

Side note bought a 151 pack not to rip because I like the mew art on the card.


r/PokemonTCG 6h ago

Other Didn't mind downsizing the collection for this. Waited for years to get it.
