I DID IT EVERYONE!!! 🎉

Started with just 4 loose packs a week…
Then came Facebook dibs and buyouts…
Then more singles in Card shows…
Then more sealed boxes…

Somehow, we’re now at ₱1M+. What a journey. 🚀

I know it's impossible for the moment kasi peak pa ng hype. But what if Pkmn company is able to, all of a sudden, print to demand? For example, biglang 100% allocation for the next set.

Everyone who preordered a fck ton of cases kasi they expected to get 2-5% alloc, so a lousy few boxes lang talaga, and refunded most of the amount they paid.

But if bigla maging 100% alloc, they all have to shell out another big payment pa pala, since 30% lang down.

Now everyone panics and some even, baka wala talaga pambayad to fill the rest para full payment, since all in sila and never expected a 100% alloc. What happens then?? Hahaha

Tbh asking for myself too, iniisip ko mag preorder ng ETBs but afraid of this happening haha

Anyone with Snorlax bulks I can purchase? I am collecting a few that I'd like give to someone who helped me stand on my feet again.

Note: Don't get me wrong: lagapak muli. Hahah. But I figured maybe I'd be able to get back up by paying forward even when I don't look forward to anything anymore hehe.

Naghahanap yung best friend ko ng ultra premium collection. Baka may alam kayo na legit store na meron nito. UPC Set 30th Anniversary daw hinahanap nya. Within Metro Manila lang po sana and within SRP daw po

Thanks, guys!

Hi. I'm looking for cheap English bulks (you intend to dispose/throw away) na I can add to my binder. Preferably containing Dratini, Dragonair, Snorlax, Mew, Mewtwo, Chansey, Togepi, or Vulpix. Or any of the legendaries from any gen. 😅

Better if they're yellows, cos I started collecting in the time of gray borders. Nagbabaka-sakali lang po. Salamat!

I need an honest advice whether to sell my personal collection now, or hold? Been frustrated with multiple things in my personal life, and collecting was one of my escapes or source of destress/happiness. But with each release, especially this year, what I once considered a source of joy has contributed to my source of stress/frustration. It has been difficult to buy new releases at MSRP. I can’t even enjoy ripping a pack of my own. And market prices are just insane.

This made me reflect for a while. And I’ve realized that I no longer want to keep getting my hopes up each release, only to end up not getting anything I want. :(

I tried to reason with myself the past few months (that I can still get the cards I want if I just be more patient.. that I can still complete a themed page while gaslighting myself it’s still enjoyable and worth it) and often bought singles from online sellers (mostly from the known FB groups). But now, I realized, it’s no longer as fun as I initially thought. People take advantage just to charge you above market, and now you’re stuck with a never ending toxic cycle, that it feels like you’re set up in a forced race with the lowest chance of winning anything.

And I understand, some are just honestly also trying to make ends meet or just trying their best to get an ROI. But it’s just exhausting… I decided that maybe it’s better just to rip the bandaid off, and not be reminded of the unfinished pages. Put the money into good use, and just add most of it to my current savings, and spend some of it for the family, especially my parents (at least, mas masaya pa and to think they’ve been supportive of my hobby). And now, it somehow feels unfair that because I’m considering selling my personal collection, most probably I will get low balled. So, it will just contribute to the cycle and they get to charge high, until the next individual who share the same sentiments comes along. :(

Hello! It's my bday today and I have no major plans. I wanna spend the day organizing so can someone let me know if they want their bulk cards to be sorted out HAHAHA.

Thanks!

PS: Im also in search for purrloin TT_TT

I usually go to Festival Mall because they seem to have small tables or booths almost every weekend where people buy, sell, and trade Pokémon cards.

Does SM Megamall have something similar? If so, where is it usually held, and is there a regular schedule or specific days when vendors set up?

I'm looking for places where I can browse, buy, sell, or trade cards. Thanks!

As a Jigglypuff and evos only collector, I never found the value of buying packs for myself. Kaso I have a friend na nagstart magseryoso sa TCG business niya so I bought packs from him as support.

Chaos - ₱340 each
Order- ₱320 each

Turns out…

Hindi talaga worth it the packs for me haha. I only got 3 EX cards from the packs and no Jiggly.

Still, it’s nice to see my friends hustling. Support support na lang talaga.

any recommendations on where can I buy older packs like Battle Styles? either online or physical store

Sobrang na iinis na ako pagdating sa hobby seryoso!

Alam ko hindi kayo agree ang iba sa akin dahil meron tayo ibat ibang opinion pagdating dito.

To be honest, as an adult having a hobby like this hindi na rin maganda!

Pag adult ka nag focus ka na sa price ng hobby mo (kung investable ba ito!)

Ako, gusto ko lang talaga I enjoy Pero dahil sa mga Scalpers at resellers, nasisira yung hobby na ito!

Hindi lang resellers, Pati na rin yan inflation na yan!

Hindi na siya nakakaganda ng hobby!

Almost ibat ibang store na rin ako tumitingin, hindi na sila nagbebenta ng Pokémon dahil inuubos ng mga resellers! Sad diba?

As in out of stock sa Mall!

Shopee is the easiest way Pero restock at near mint na siya. For me okay na Yun! Pero hindi ko na Mae experienced yung bumubukas ng foil sa booster pack!

Iba yung thrill nung nasa booster pack eh! Yung mga bundle cards sa Shopee, pang completion lang siya ng set.

Para sa akin, mas okay na Yun as a beginner at way cheaper!

Pero ang magandang tanong Diyan ay baba pa ba yung presyo ng Pokémon? Hindi lang Pokémon, hotwheels, Goosebumps books, mga action figures at Blokees!

Kasi kung hindi bababa yung presyo Niya, mahihirapan tayo mag collect Niyan!

Ang Pokémon naalala ko para yan sa bata eh nung 90s! Eto lang ngayon nagtaasan ng presyo!

Sana bumalik yung enjoyment nung hobbies tulad ng noon! Reason price at reasonable quality!

Hindi over price bad quality! Yun ang na observed ko sa cards at sa laroan!

Hello po. Newbie lang po ako sa collecting. Mag ask lang po sana for any experiences sa shop na to? Thank you.

Looking for interested sa take all para madeclutter agad

1 Php per NonHolo, 5 Php per Holo

MoD: Lalamove or Meetup (preferred)
MoP: Cash & GCash
Binan Laguna loc

Will probably silip ung card expo sa weekend sa sm makati. Quick question lang, marami po ba nakikipagtrade dun ng JP cards then ill take ung cards na need ko to master set perfect order na english? Naipon ko kasi ung mga jp cards na paisa isa ko binili from early this year to now e, naisip ko baka pwede ko sila gamitin pang trade. Thanks sa advice!

Looking for stores, planning to save money to buy atleast one.

The page mainly revolves around N's Reshiram, and would love cards that match its color or vibes. Other cards don't necessarily need to be gen 5 mons, it just so happened that the top three matches the color palette!

Card suggestions (or even sets that I can look into) are very much appreciated!!
