I was posting in the thread when out the corner of my eye I saw a shitpost reply to me
He said “I never seen a poorfag hate slabs so much, you wanna maybe send to PSA?”
Raw cards are from the past; should be graded to the last and anything below a 10 should be trashed.
I said “Man fuck no that’s gay, stop destroying my hobby.”
He started to type and this is what he said:
“Oh this ain’t no thread for a rawfag. Your whole collection is fake.
You got counterfeits, you got micro dents, just grade them all for your own sake.
Oh no you can’t topload, you can’t binder though you know, I wish you could.
Oh no this ain’t no place for a rawfag. Until this whole thread dies for good.”

>>57987058 (OP)
AYYY YO YO YO BUY MY CARDBOARD!
ITS NOT WORTHLESS OVERPRINTED MODERN SLOPPA!
IT AINT!
BUY IT!!

youtubers, influencers and e-whores ruined this tcg. mods ruined this general.

>>57987068
Fucking BASED??? Rawnigs WINNING??

>still grading cards

>>57987068
Every bone in my body… is making me…. kneel….

Mega Evolution pre-orders are opening today on Pokémon Centre

>>57987181
Fucking fantastic. I'm going to miss it.

Ok, this is actually pretty cool...but getting it will be a nightmare.

>>57987068
FUCK slabfags

>>57987181
Yeah, I'm 100% getting my wife's ETB, no matter how hard resellers up price. Those sleeves will look fantastic for my gardy deck.

>>57987238
>Worst Eeveelutions
Skip. It should've been the og 3.

>>57987238
When does it release

>>57987284
September

I remember sports cards in 2023 were being scalped but I don't know how long it lasted. We're roughly 10 months in with this scalping situation.

>>57987181
>preorders go up every time i dont have money to spend what i want on it
come the fuck on man

Reminder that TPC making more cards won't stop scalping because the fucking distributors themselves hold back stock so they can scalper it themselves.

>>57987181
Did this already sell out?

>>57987301
You pay on release, not on preorder

>>57987312
It hasnt gone up yet. Im sure everyone will start bitching when it does go up. I know i will

>>57987181
I had a feeling they'd do two versions, finally Gardevoir gets to be featured on a ETB.

>>57987349
Looks like it's two sides rather than two different products

>>57987181
That's kinda cool.

>>57987358
According to PokeBeach there's two different ETB promos, which at least to me makes it sound like two versions. Seems there's no Ralts AR in the set if they're the Alakazam one.

>>57987374
Why no ralts or kirlia? Motherfuckers jewing me out of my money.

>>57987181
More dogshit. You can buy it all.

>>57987293
The scalping didn't really start until what, november?

>>57987416
Maybe earlier. I wasnt able to get an iono milkbox when preorders went up.

i bet i won't be able to get hold of any bbwf

>>57987450
Probably not. I still havent seen pe or jt on shelves.

>>57987450
Not really missing out then
It's a shitty set with maybe 5 or 6 cool cards combined between both in them

>>57987491
SV post paldean fates/evolved has been really shitty overall. Why would anyone care about modern sets with only 3 cool cards?

Ive been f5ing pc and usually its up by now but its still not up.

Do they ship to Mexico? I don't want to pay scalperfags around here.

>>57987068

Less slop than most full arts, but still slop. Illustration rares should be the standard alternates going forward.

Mmmmmmail day!!!
esto es el fin mewdos, found it at a really low price

>mewtwoy

I hope everyone hates BBWF so I can have more to myself

what's the cutest card in all of SV?

>still buying physical

>>57987837
For me it's this one

>>57987871
very cute, just the thought of coming home and seeing that riolu trashed the place working out is funny.

>>57987068
kuh kuh kino

>>57987080
that Spidops is sick and that Regirock. I'll always love those full arts with the funky backgrounds. My favorite is this Chilling Reign Blaziken I pulled years ago

>>57987374
maybe they didn't want to give you one of the two pre evos?

I normally shit on english texture vs jp, but credit is due here, XY secrets are amazing.

>>57987916
>>57987927
2D > 3D

oof

>>57987927
>CG render
Arita is good at 3D though, you can't compare him to 5ban and planeta
Also post 2D cards I like them too

>>57987374
Fuck yeah another Alakazam, and if it's a promo niggers will stab each other over the PC stamped one while I buy the cheaper unstamped version.

>still buying modern

>>57986694
The only "bootleg" card I would get is a Japanese version of a card instead of a 1st Edition WOTC card.
Some 1st editions are crazy expensive, so I'm okay with a Japanese version for now.

1st edition > Japanese > unlimited english

>>57987293
>We're roughly 10 months in with this scalping situation.
Crazy how it's been nearly 10 months and all tpci has to say for themselves is "we are printing more". Like that's cool man. The scalpers will just buy up the extra stuff you printed. I feel like I've been seeing a lot more of those cardboard hanger singles (which people will just take entire rows of) and boxes. I haven't really seen an uptick in ETB's, triple blisters, or booster bundles.

At this point the only way to salvage this situation is to either
> print so much product that it tanks prices of singles. This will get rid of all the money obsessed investorbros
I remember like 2 or 3 years ago where retail stores had so much product they wanted to get rid of that they were even running deals and those ETB's, tins, and boxes would sit on shelves for days, sometimes weeks. It needs to get to that point again, but I doubt they'll do this one.

> Made to order higher end items like ETB's, premium collection's, and all special set items
Make use of the pokemon center website by doing a made to order business model through a set period of time so people who don't have time to idle in front of stores or in website queue lines have a chance. This seems like the best option. It stops fomo from customers since they'll be guaranteed to get it and since they are guaranteed, they won't buy from scalpers. It also gets around the bot problem since at this point, let's be honest, they aren't going to beat the bots. Every step they take to counter them is wasted effort since botfriends just figure out a way to get around them. So instead of trying to counter the bots, just heavily deter people from using them.

but who am i kidding. As long as they're making money, tpci doesn't care

>>57988002
>>57987927
>>57987374
Fuck yeah. Alakazam has really grown on me in recent years. Part of it has just come from realizing I have a bunch of Alakazam cards in my collection and then developing a sense of appreciation from that.
He's now a top favourite of mine.

>>57987935
2d is greater than 3d. I won't argue that, but I also like 3d when it's done right like in that Blaziken card. I only dislike when they spam it. For example the megas in XY era or a lot of the promos for boxes. It's kinda crazy to me how expensive those XY era megas are when the artwork for most of them are 3d

btw, hating on all 3d cards is a low iq take. Like I said, there are right ways to do it and wrong ways

pika spread update

>>57988024
I like the child rapist alakazam

>>57988039
>3d when it's done right
>For example the megas in XY era

>>57988039
>XY era
maybe if it came out in 2005 or something, but the xy era 3d looks do damn bad for being released in the 2010's
You're letting the fact that the cards are shiny and textured distract you from how bad and cheap the renders themselves look
Ugly renders, boring positions, not dynamic at all, no interesting scenes, overall just shtity card art

>still caring about the condition of your cards

>>57988076
NTA but the point was that not all the XY 3D cards are bad.
The Arita alakazam a few posts above is actually drawn, you can see the details on the moustache and the shadows on the body and face.

>>57988105
>still caring about physical cards
I can look at them for free on my pc and phone whenever I want, now who's the retard?

Is it the most overrated set in all of pokemon? Absolutely no reason for multiple cards to be over $100

>>57987068
Finally. A good fucking poster

>still being this BASEDO

>>57988204
>He mad that he MISSED OUT when the set was SLEPT ON and now that it's TO THE MOON he lost the BIG BUCKS

I pray that scalpers would pass on the Mega Evolution base set, so i can at least get an ETB or packs in this shithole called Australia.

I've been refreshing the pokemon center etb page all day. I think it's safe to say preorders wont open today.

>>57988310
ANON ANON
CHECK AGAIN IT IS UP
BE QUICK IT'S GETTING DEPLETED RIGHT NOW

>>57988310
dude just follow someone one of those pokemon stock twitter accounts and turn notifications on, or join one of those discords that tell you the second something drops. Refreshing all day due to rumors is a surefire way to 1.burn yourself out of this hobby 10x faster and 2. waste time.

Anyone else get charged for the Black and White Pokemon Center ETBs? I got my card charged this afternoon so that is a good sign. I was worried they'd start canceling preorders soon.

>>57987068

Getting back into Pokemon made me realize what tiny handed manlets you guys are.
First time I opened cards as an adult I thought I had bought some weird knock offs because of how small they were compared to how they look in rip videos.
But no you guys are just HANDLETS.

Mail day

>>57988606
Nice coin. Always thought they looked better than the plastic ones, even though they fly sideways when they're flipped.

>>57988072
i was implying that xy era megas are done wrong. Sorry maybe I wasn't clear enough. To me, they just got too much shit going on. It's tacky, loud, lame and now that i think about it, they kind of look fake. Like unofficial artwork.

>>57988700
spot on. and I still love XY Megas just because nothing else has been better.

>>57987068
First post best post

>>57987238
it's going to be scalped so heavily because of tourists and fomo tards.

>>57987506

>join those discords
nah, I'm not a pedophile or a tranny.

Should I get it graded?

>still posting shoe

How did the situation get so bad? In 2023 i remember finding stuff in store. Even with 151. Now everytime i stop by a store everything has been picked clean. Wtf happened?

They only want SV stuff usually, a lot of them turn their noses up to anything that's prior to CZ.

>>57988204
>Is it the most overrated set in all of pokemon
XY Evolutions/Celebrations/151/Prismatic Evolutions are infinitely more overrated and infinitely shittier

>>57989157
Paldean fates was also shit, but halfwits eat that shit up.

>>57989157
>XY Evolutions/Celebrations/151/Prismatic Evolutions are infinitely more overrated and infinitely shittier
Sounds like someone who MISSED OUT

>>57989140
why is this? Fomo? If these guys are only buying the newer packs they don't have much interest in anything but hype.
Seems like we should be in for a price drop when they inevitably lose interest but its been more than 2 more weeks

>>57989187
that seems to be it, they pick whatever is currently being stocked at retailers because they don't know about anything else.

>>57989157
The only ones I'll give you are evolutions and 151

>>57989187
accessibility, plain and simple. it's easier to buy currently in print packs than spend hundreds on packs of vintage. they're gambling addicts, so they don't want to buy singles.

>>57989157
Speaking of overrated
Everyone always says Steam Siege or Go is the worst set ever but honestly it's overhated
Base set 2, Emerging Powers, Flashfire, Primal Clash, Burning Shadows, Crimson Invasion, Rebel Clash, Darkness Ablaze, Champions Path and Scarlet & Violet Base are worse sets imo

>EN full art trainer
>Valuable
Lol. Non-SIR full art cards are always pretty cheap most of the time in the SV era. Besides, she's not exactly a strong card at all and her art is okay at best.

>>57991563
It has the Mew set symbol from the set and is a variation of an existing card in the set.
Master is a high rank.
What youre describing is a full set or complete set.
Only very few ever complete a master set, some even argue it should contain all languages as well.

>>57991895
>Non-SIR full art cards are always pretty cheap most of the time in the SV era
I hate that you’re right. I also pulled that full art Pawmi worth a whole entire dollar. It’s a beautiful card, too.

>>57988303
they won't. Mega Gardy SIR would fetch a lot of money and they'll be looking for that.

>>57992382
>no shrink wrap
Don't do this for japanese sets
JP boxes can be mapped because they have guaranteed hits, and since they're like $40 over there, the just buy a bunch of them, rip a bunch until you get the chase cards, then stuff the remaining unopened boosters into boxes and act like it's untouched

Same with loose jp packs, you never know if it was from a searched booster box or not so don't buy them

>>57992536
Seriously? The Japanese sets still do this? The last time I've heard a mapped booster box was SM base set.

>>57992657
They're not actually mapped, but a specific amount of hits is guaranteed.

>>57992657
I open a lot of japanese box and often I was left with 5 or more pack once I got my guaranteed box hit.
These guys are even more hardcore as they would just stop with the SR+ and won't even bother with the rest of the hits.

Not quite a while ago you can get 100 loose japanese pack with just $50.

Oh hey, didn't see you there.

Man was looking through SM full art supporters and they sure used to have a lot of more boobs back then. Now FA supporters have practically 0. Zinnia and Lisia are some direct comparisons. Hope we can go back to the golden age some day.

>>57992455
>>57992536
Appreciate your support anons. I figured no shrink wrap was strange. They claim the stores make them do this and I’ve seen it happen at card shops here in America too. I’m glad I stuck to buying only sealed boxes.

As a kid I heard that these cards were peel-able stickers. Glad I never peeled this.

>>57993152
Idk maybe

>>57993337
Some fakes were

>>57993330
>They claim the stores make them do this
Why would a store make them remove shrink wrap? Think logically about that. It’s obviously bs.

>>57993590
Deterrent for investorfags apparently.

It's kind of ridiculous that tcgplayer doesnt require sellers to have pictures of their cards for things above like $5

>>57993590
fuck resellers, scalperfags and logic

>>57993243
Hello!

>>57993791
Sopa de macaco language...

>>57989787
those contain a single booster each right? why don't they do it like the japanese and put the hole on the pack itself

>>57994664
Everyone is pissing and shitting themselves to get hold of packs right now so it wouldn't mean anything in terms of sales
It'd still be extremely retarded to buy unsealed from reseller where they said this happened

>>57993330
SOME stores in japan do this yes, however unless you're buying directly from the store itself, they could be lying and have searched the box themselves
If you want to gamble with a potential searched box, then go ahead and get it, otherwise play it safe

>>57994995

Not all of them, I saw a vid of the mystic rips guys opening a sylveon tin, he said he was hoping he bought "correct one" but there wasn't evolving skies.

>>57996043
I like sealed stuff, keep seething, troon.

>>57996048
"""Sealed collectors""" have it easier than anyone else, assuming they do it in good faith. Just skip the last 2-3 sets and be patient and sooner or later during the fucking 3 YEARS of reprint window you'll have the chance to grab one box at MSRP, because you need just 1 (one, uno) fucking box to complete your """sealed collection""" for that set.
If you chase vintage boxes or meme boxes such as evolving skies you already lost the train, but it's not the case here because we are talking about shops ripping the seal from recent boxes to combat scalpers.
If you cry about this situation you are either a redditor with terminal FOMO who needs the new shiny box within a week from release, or a scalper who wants as many boxes as possible to flip within two months, or an investorbro who wants as many boxes as possible to flip within five years.

>>57996150
>you need
Do you guys have no self awareness at all?
You don't need any of this shit. All of this stuff is superflous. No one wants one charizard, it's one and then another and another and another.
So yeah, you "need" all of it.

>>57996162
Your schizo response makes no sense.
Sealed collector = you either collect boxes or packs = to complete a set you need just 1 piece, compared to card collectors who need multiple cards.
Do I need to spell it clearer?

>>57995678
I only got the Sprigatito card because of Liko thighs. I don't care what happens to faggot cards.

>>57996353
It makes no sense because your intellect is limited. Let me spell it out for you.
Either you collect shit or you don't. If you do then you don't collect "one", you collect everything you can.

>>57995654
(You) are welcome.

>>57996389
Follow my sentence:
If you want to collect a certain set as a sealed collector, you only need to get a single box and/or pack of that particular set. It's not a hard English sentence. If...then...
Has nothing to do with your babbling about needing to collect everything(?).

>Bought pic related ages ago for like $1 and thought it was gorgeous
>It's now over $20
There is 0 hype around this card, people are picking it up just because it's beautiful
This restored a bit of my faith in this hobby, genuine collectors are still out there

Is that.....a COSMO HOLO GIRATINA?!?!?!???!? HOLY SHIT INVESTORBROS WE GOTTA PUMP LV.xx CARDS AFTER WE ARE FINISHED MILKING GOLD STARS

For the actual collectors here, does anyone know of an app or a google doc setup or something that you use to track your cards?

Specifically my autism is demanding something i can edit/check off on my phone and my computer relatively at a glance if i'm out at shops/cons/whatever. A while back I remember someone posted a google doc checklist they'd made with vulpix cards but I don't know if google sheets got shittier or if i'm just stupid and don't know to use a computer cause I can't figure out how to fit images and formatting in cells.

Something kinda like this but online? I feel like collectr or whatever those tracking sites are are a bit too much since a lot of them have broken images or track every reverse holo variant and whatnot, just ends up being too much to sift through

>>57996581
Check out Pokécardex
I've met multiple French collectors who track their entire collections with it
Their website has an English version, dunno about their app

>>57995602
Pokemon products are designed to be opened
You realize that right?
Just because you aren't scalping doesn't mean you deserve any sympathy for your niche bullshit

>>57996581
Do you just need to track your cards as a list? I use collectr and it works fine, you can create a portfolio and only add the exact card variants that you have, i.e. you search for Sigilyph 081 and you get the list of surging sparks variants and you select the regular or the reverse, add to portfolio, and it will only add that one variant.

If you need an app that also sorts your cards in a virtual binder pages layout then I'm also looking for one.

>>57996581
TCG Collector is decent and you can just ignore the holo-specific stuff (it limits to two variants on the free version per-card anyway)

>>57996592
Oh this is exactly what I was looking for, cheers
Still got a few broken images/listings but I can live with that
The app seems fine

>>57996637
I'm one of those visual autists so really all I needed was "here's all the cards of a mon and I can just click on the ones I have at a glance" like speak n spell tier simple
I have to reorganize my binders anyway since I can't plan for shit so I'm fine with just a list, good luck on that one

Should I be happy if I was looking for the SIR Latias EX and instead I got this one?

>>57996703
>wanted a gay normie card
you got what you deserved

>>57996703
Its Egawa kino, so yes.

>>57996703
>tera
>stellar tera
Not even Egawa can salvage it, but at least it's not the worst of its kind in that set.

>>57996524
FOMObros... let's double the price of this card...

Now that SV era is officially over, post your favorite art from this era.

>>57996516
>you can only collect the way I want you to collect

>>57996581
>>57996637
Speaking of collectr lists, is there a way to export your portfolio as a list and print it?
Can someone add HD Cosmos foil Abra, Electabuzz, Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur to collectr, as well as the 2024 worlds championship deck singles.

>>57996907
The colors on this cards are so fucking nice
not my image btw

>>57996907
SV ended???

>>57996631
>people have no will of their own

>>57997089
instead of the SV era, we are moving into the M era starting at M1L and M1S for mega symphonia and mega brave

>>57997109
Mega Stunning and Mega Brave.

>>57997109
M1LK when

>>57997131
when mega paLKia comes out

>>57997104
you say that as if you wouldn't sperg out if someone bought a bunch of product and lit it on fire or just cut them all with scissors

>>57997077
Ethan's Pokemon got some good art

>>57997180
At the end of the day it's just cardboard.

>>57996907
I love this card

>people crying about sealedchads
>actually opening product
Retards

>>57997286
Opening packs is fun though. Not sure what to do with all the junk cards I pull though

>>57997287
>gambling your investments
You get what you deserve I suppose

>>57997287
I stopped opening packs once I realized I never pull anything good
Bad luck just like the lottery
Same thing every time, just shitty pulls

>>57997293
I pulled Mewtwo so if I sold it that makes up for all the garbage packs financially

>>57997297
>$350 card
>makes up for all the garbage packs financially
So either you have great luck or you haven't opened many packs
You're only in the negative about 3 booster boxes worth of packs?

>>57996907
Best waifu card of the era. Perrin SIR is dogshit.

>>57997306
Probably about 50 packs the past 3 months or so

They just not printing 151 anymore? It's never stocked

>>57997339
No, why would they be? Set is almost 2 years old.

>>57997339
It just had like a massive reprinting, blooming waters was everywhere (albeit poached to heck by scalpers and collectors during this time) so you wouldnt really see it on shelves unless you were in the throws of the rat race. Last week people said they saw zapdos boxes on walmart shelves.

>>57997339
There was such a massive reprinting during late spring early summer that all conventions/ shows basically only had 151 singles at booths and most sellers wouldnt accept them for trade in anticipation of the singles collapse/ drop.
All the singles are waaay down from their peak as a result. This set was EVERYWHERE in 2023.
I dont know what peoples issue is with this set, its like they only wanted it after they saw other people playing with it. Like a kid seeing another kid with a ball.

Prize Pack Series 7 announced.
God speed pikachu, eevee, and umbreon collectors.

>>57997442
Stamps are fucking gay.

>>57997442
I HATE "PROMOS" THAT ARE JUST FUCKING STAMPS!

>>57997479
They aren't promos.

>>57997479
To be fair they arent exactly "promos" theyre more of a local league or prize pack variant. Sometimes they also add cosmos foiling with the stamp. Like they did with Dodrio.

>>57997508
>>57997526
Maybe but stamps are what now they use for "promo" boxes, last week the revealed like 6 new boxes with Giant cards, all them reprints woth only a stamp added.

God bros i love stamps and am trans btw

got in the mail this week

>>57997591
Yeah definitely getting lazy with box promos.
Whatever as long as scalpers keep buying and opening these ill be be able to buy the stamped cards for a $1 without opening the packs of sets Ive already completed.

Is this the cheapest trainer SAR on the market?

>>57998028
no, look for male trainer SARs

>>57998028
Without checking, i will guess the black steel trainer in terrafes is way cheaper.

>>57997804
Why those

>>57994566
I'm seeing there's no dark venusaur in Team Rocket set? probably won't bother

1st edition dark magician girl (Magicians Force) Only $45,000 in a Gem 10

>>57998512
You can buy 4 PSA 10 JP Lillie cards with that money.

>>57998512
Probably not real. 1st ed LOB blue eyes, the most expensive and sought after card in the hobby (basically base set zard) is only 8-10k

>>57998512
The best part about Yugioh is they reprint their cards. Who cares about le first edition slop.

>>57998644
IMO pokemon company should follow suit, just reprint entire runs of card sets all the time
I don't care about investing or getting rich off cards, I just want fucking mint condition ex era cards in my collection

>>57998644
People get nostalgic about the correct holo-print effect

>>57998644
I wish tpc would do more stuff like this but the only reason konami does is because people only care about gen 1 yugioh

>>57998979
Konami does it because all those cards are still legal for standard play. There's no reason for Pokemon to do it since the cards are unplayable.

>>57998644
collectors

>>57998990
what are you talking about?
japan does limited run collector shit all the time
what about rocket briefcase? classic bundle? or the special pc boxes?

>>57997310
I had high hopes for Hilda to dethrone it, but sadly, it failed

>>57998644
What a goofy looking motherfucker. YGO art is ass.

>>57999349
All printed while the cards were legal to play.

>>57998788
>>57999282
Collectors can still be autistic about the first editions: an actual base set zard is way more valuable than a base set 2 or a 25th anni reprint, for good reason, but many people only want a cosmo holo zard in their binder without spending thousands.
For example, If TPC releases an evolving skies reprint with a "2" logo in a corner, a LOT of people (including myself) will settle for the Moonbreon reprint, while troo collectors will still chase the og cards.
Scalpers will scalp regardless, but reprinting the hugest memest set will break the investorfag market because no one knows who will be reprinted next. Prismatic? Gold stars? Lillie's cunt?

New arrivals

>>57999735
2 of these are not like the others

>>57999766

>>57999483

Nostalgia in card form

>>58000242
base set charizard has one horn, lmfao

My cards from Japan finally arrived in the US today. Almost there, friends. Most excited ive ever been to get an order

Why are they asking so much on eBay for this card when I can get it from TCGplayer for less?

>>58000792
either because of the way tcgplayer fees work or ebay sellers are just greedier

>>58000792
no one nose

>>58000792
tcgplayer listings include the jp and damaged skewing the lower end prices

>>58000871
makes sense they gotta fund their genocide
>>58000892
can you say that again coherently saar?

>>58000903
Rocket's Mewtwo is a SIR not a SAR

I just remembered bbwf comes out on friday. I can't wait to not pull a hilda card that i've been waiting 15 years for.
