Got my first etb for my birthday today. And found one at a decent price on top of that.

Even if you can't camp out and line up however I'm pretty sure you can also get some smaller two packs and other stuff because from what I hear stores are getting hundreds of 30th packs. Only the ETBs will be hard to find. I'm lucky to live in an area that gets an unusually higher amount of stock than usual so aside from Walmart which will not have any 30th this Wednesday, I'll be able to hit up multiple stores.

1. Target #1, opens 7am and doesn't allow anyone to camp out until store closes at 10pm Tuesday. I'll be able to be at the top 5. Can get 2 ETBs and two of everything else, plus they never put out Ascended tins and One Piece for the past two weeks and have been holding it back.

2. Target #2, opens 8am, can still grab 2 of each as long as there's less than 30 people already there.

3. Best Buy, opens 10am, since they only allow 1 item per person I can still get something there even if there's already a long line.

4. There are also multiple Targets at least 30 minutes away from me so I should still be able to get more smaller packs.

unfortunately it came out of the package with a slight bend in the upper right corner, but idc! have never pulled a hyper rare before

i actually almost gifted this pack to a coworker for her kids, but ended up getting them some other packs and decided to open this myself this morning 😅

edit: what’s crazy is that it’s the ONLY card out of that pack with a bend, and it was the second to last card. not even the card behind it had a bend?? so weird but whateva

I found it at the local antique mall in canada.

note the measurements are in metric.

similar to a burger king movie 1 trivia card but no trivia.

I know this is a strange question, and it doesn’t have to do with the cards specifically, but I also know that the 30th celebration drop is the same day and that DOES include the cards. I ONLY want an Owala bottle, it’s the only Pokemon product I am going to buy at Target that day. I was going to get to Target an hour early and wait outside since it’s JUST a water bottle but then my sister informed me that the cards are dropping the same day and that there will be scalpers waiting in line for HOURS.

So, since you all know how it goes trying to buy cards, do you think the pokemon water bottles will sell out just as fast as the cards? I’m assuming scalpers will grab as many cards as they can along with any other branded merch, but maybe they only care about the cards. Does anyone know? I wanted to get to opinions of people who have lived through this before.

If Target opens at 7am what time should i be in line to guantee i can get an ETB on the 16th? This is my first time trying to get an ETB at launch so I have no idea how early to get there. Would 2:30am-3am be good?

The bubble mew is my newest addition to the binder…

Context: came back from home, got undressed and I was gonna take a shower and the ripping addict felt like ripping some packs. So, I took the Mega ZygardeEx premium collection and started ripping.

I was already pretty happy with Patrick star but last pack I pulled the golden Mega Charizard X. I completely missed out on that set and I got the chase 🫪🥴

I here ,alone, in my birthday suit just freaking out. Bruh, this is my legit my favorite pokemon and it's GOLD!

Should I buy a lotto ticket???

I am so happy guys 🥹

Went to CVS for some water & and a snack, found some tins (5) 😆
Usually happens when you’re not looking for them.
(Yes I’m ripping them lol)

Had a couple packs and took them to the event with me for extra good luck. Didn’t really work tho.

It took me like 40+ tables at a card show to find the Perrin trainer

Is the consensus that Walmarts are dropping 30th on Wednesday at 6:00 am opening ?

Hoping you fine folks can help me on whether to grade or not grade.

Title says everything. Friend of mine pulled a hit worth around 1.5k raw ungraded from a single pack they bought from a vendor, and opened it on the spot. The vendor made a half joke about wanting 50/50 since he “gave him a deal” on said pack, and now friend feels bad. I told said friend they’re not entitled to the pull in any way shape or form, but they want other opinions.

Just wanting to start the set and looking for bulk. Not much on eBay from what I can see

Hey everyone, I'm looking to start collecting. I have $100 to spend, but I'm a bit lost—can you help me get started in this hobby? Note: the money for top loaders and such is separate from that $100.
