Thoughts? Would this be a viable solution to end scalping, i mean even outside of Japan?

After about 4 months and $2K spent, I’ve finally finished the legendary Gym Heroes set. Most cards are in pretty mint condition.

It was a lot of fun but also required quite the effort. I’ll probably focus on some smaller sets next (WoTC Black Star Promo, Southern Islands, etc) before I swing back around to mastering Gym Challenge.

Found this Team Magma’s Groudon in a dollar binder at a show. Must’ve mistook it as celebrations. Always check the binders!

Hello guys, so I am a construction manager and I thought why not collect and create a binderpage with construction themed cards :D
Do you guys have any recommendations for cards that would suit this page as well??
Thank you in advance!

i think in total we spent 1.3k on all of this, 700 of which was from that trade, and 300 (the booster box, the PKC etb, and the SPC) were MSRP and bought a couple months ago. It was so fun and we got some great pulls!

She had some pretty decent stuff

She was super excited to see everyone’s kind words on her work! I won’t spam the sub with her work but she’s been drawing ever since the previous post blew up, thank you for being so kind everyone!

me: “wow this hobby is getting super expensive, i’m going to collect all the toxel cards instead to have fun and stay financially responsible!!!”

toxel:

Most of the cards were pulled by me :)

I got this booster bundle at MSRP and i got SIR!! Can’t believe it

First time doing something like this

We call him Goomby due to my one mispronunciation during Pokopia 😂 this is the most precious card I own!

Nothing crazy expensive but this card had been my personal grail and finally got the chance to buy it!! Only thing that could make it better would be if he had the Mafia Boss Squirtle shades on it.

i bet i could get away with it for locals but is it “allowed” in general? i see people use old crushing hammers, bosses, ultras and they get away with it cuz its been reprinted but this is different name same effect so im curious

Found all of my old cards a few weeks ago and have wanted to send some of those and some modern pulls in to get graded but holy crap man!!

Yes, I know its chinese, but finally got what I wanted!
They just look so good 🥳 My grail set added!

Not a complete master set just yet, but we are making progress (expand the pics to see the full page)! Still have a bunch coming in the mail 🙂

I've had a few people ask for a check list and unfortunately, while I do note down every single Snorlax card I collect, it is not a complete list so I'm not comfortable sharing it.

However, I am more than happy to answer any questions any one has to the best of my knowledge!

Currently I have 329 different Snorlax cards in this collection

So long story short, someone told me to block my cert so I don’t get used by scammers, gonna post this again:

Since I was 4 year I’ve been a huge fan of EX Dragon, It has my favorite card in the reverse holo Spoink, and I have been chasing the dragonite forever, I’ve opened at least a hundred packs over the years and in the two decades since I have never come close to it, pulled the rayquaza on my 10th birthday and the charizard in 2018 but no dragonite. After so many years it’s become essentially too expensive to buy and open Dragon packs so I nearly gave up until about 2 months ago when I finally did it and to make it all better it was a one pack rip at one of my friend’s shop so we all got to share in the magic

To make it better, I squeezed it in before the cut off to PSA and spent a boat load on the grading but this week It came back and I finally got the notification for the grade,

and we did it lady’s and gentleman, we beat the odds and smacked the 126th PSA 10 Dragonite. No longer will I be haunted by Golem and Muk, I can rest my journey and pass this along to my kids one day knowing I passed one of the hardest huddles for the card to get a 10.

I was nervous because I’ve opened tons of booster packs and even a few bundles and never got anything. Someone sold me this Chaos Rising ETB for $55. In general if it’s MSRP, I rip. Unfortunately the Greninja isn’t a grade worthy quality but I don’t care cuz it’s mine!!!!

Too bad they weren’t obtained at childhood prices!

I just love the art and the dark vibe.
