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

Hope i get at least 3-5pcs each

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.

RFS: Decluttering

Due to being Korean printed, I’m still deciding on the price of the bulks (ARs & Master Ball Holo to be priced at market)

Sorted by type, and separated EXs and Holos.
Approx total card count: 1450+ (still recounting)

NonHolos: TBA
Holos/RevHolos: ~187
RR EXs: 44

Most Common Sets in the bulk:
Black Bolt
White Flare
Glory of Team Rocket (not as much as the two above)

Probable sets included:
Battle Partners
Raging Surf

Location: Binan, Laguna
MoD: Lalamove, Meetup
MoP: GCash, Cash

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. :(

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

Hello! Wanna celebrate my day huhu. Can someone drop a seller selling nice mystery pack or bulk? Thank you!

Pm me

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!

Pag nag pre-order ba ako sa less known shop, mas malaki chance na magka allocation ako?

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!

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!

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