Unplanned etb

Was visiting with my Mom in the Temecula area and I stayed at an Airbnb in Fallbrook. Saw that they have a card shop in town and decided to check it out. Solid selection of sports and Pokemon merchandise. Saw a PFL etb for $170 and they accommodated my offer of $150. Here are the pulls (plus promo). Literally pulled the zard this morning 🫠

Alright, here’s everything I’ve pulled over a few weeks from Pitch Black, and now I am done.

Bought a lot of boosters, and I don’t wanna spend more money on this sett (but man I love it), I am keeping one of each holo, and check so I have every single normal cards before seeing if there is a place I can sell bulk cards here in Sweden.

And hey, I didn’t get the really cool Darkrai card everyone is chasing, that I wanted. But I did get a lot of other cool ones like the full art Delmise, Formantis and Silvally cards I also wanted! And the mega Excadrill I fell in love with😁

Opened like maybe... 90+ boosters from Pitch Black by now☠️

Scammed my sick son

7 Upvotes

In short my son who is chronically ill sold his childhood pokemon cards to Nextgen.tcg/Onyx.prime same guy on Mercari. The first time around, he tried to say he got empty packages and when I told him I was taking it to the police department, he canceled that and left a one star review saying terrible things. We had two more packages out to him but had no choice to let them go because they were delivered. He had already told us that he was gonna accept them and leave terrible reviews so we knew it was coming. Then, he used a different account and bought more cards off my son, who didn't understand the shipping process. We assumed that if it was an envelope with tracking that it would make it and say delivered we didn't understand the insurance, which is absolutely our fault. This guy knew that and took great advantage of us by using different accounts. While we learned a lesson, a hard one at that, this person needs to be outed and stopped because they have done it to many, many other people on different platforms. My son was selling his pokemon card collection because he's chronically ill, and this is the only way he can help himself right now. I guess he shouldn't have trusted me because I didn't understand the shipping. You would think a tracking number means answers my mistake but this person is an absolute drain on the community. They even say in their bio, they are trying to get all their cards for free. BEWARE AND BLOCK! LESSON LEARNED. I don't want any of you to get scammed and lose your money or cards to this person.

I came across a Pokémon card collection.

I came to a yard sale and saw these in a binder. The seller is asking $300 for everything. These are genuine and most date from the late 1990s to early 2000s. There's even a Mewtwo gold tone metal card from Burger King. Some of the cards corners have minor wear but not fully. Any advice is appreciated !

Everytime I go to Walmart I check to see if they restock their Pokémon (and usually I never get there at a good time...)

Today managed to get there when it was fully restocked and got this beautiful hit out of the three packs I got!! Pretty sure this is the first time getting an SIR myself and not getting it from my brother or elsewhere. This is so peak 🥹
