They did ruin Typhlosion in the games by taking away its fire neck thing. It looks stupid without it

151 Master Set Variant Watch
>2025's Trainer Toolkit may have variants of 151 cards. Last years had non-holo ditto
>2025's Trick or Trade cards may feature cards from 151 as there are a handful of traditionally spooky pokemon. The listing indicated a zubat, unknown if its 151 zubat at this point. Also speculation for chinese exclusive 151 alternate arts such as the pikachu with gengar.
>Prismatic Evolutions costco tin bundles will have flareon, Jolteon, and vaporeon promo variants (maybe).
Still lots to look out for

>>58211733
I have that Solrock in my binder as well. Love that card

>>58211898
What? I thought they were done printing 151?

>>58211733
No, you have to collect the cards I tell you to collect based on their projected monetary value over 20 years!

Mega Charizard and Mega Gengar leaked

>>58212745

you have to be an artist from industry to notice

>>58211661 (OP)
I got a deck from a local Lawson, picked this up and I'll give every else to a friend's daughter.
I hope all the mercariniggers trying to flip this card top themselves.

>>58211771
Honestly the best card for S/V era.
Get the JP one mate, its worth it.

>>58212979
It’s $20 on eBay right now

$500+ on eBay.

>>58213049
That is very fucking cheap! Moonbreon is $500 once!

>>58213081
They are recycling the theme from this Gengar's sleeve.

>Get the JP one mate, its worth it.

This is true for every single modern card

Just pulled this. Did I do well?

>>58213128
>Did I do well?
Do you like it?
>yes
You did well.
>no
You didn't do well.

>>58213128
It’s $10 on eBay

>>58213228
Now I can buy 2 more DR packs for free!

>>58212745
Those were debunked like a month ago, newfag, also a more convincing Mega Charizard X ex SIR leaked not long ago, which doesn't look like your pic. Another thing is that there won't be a Mega Gengar SIR or anything above a basic ex card in this set as they got it from a Japanese deck, which also doesn't have a variant of that card.

>>58213049
>10
>clearly off center
?

>>58213311
Not a new collector. You got a source zoom zoom?

Alright, I think I can move on to Mega Brave now.

he's even covering his boner omg

What the FUCK??? I just left GameStop, they didn’t letting me buy more than 1 of the Team Rocket Tin drop from today. I have more than 1 account. I even left and came back in after my purchase to get another one. They DENIED ME. And some fucking snot nosed losers wearing glasses were leaving with their heads held high grinning with their crooked fucking bucktooth squirrely teeth and I fucking hate them so fucking much I wanna punch them in the fucking face. This is my business you’re fucking with. Fuck with me? FUCK OFF TO HELL YOU. I HATE YOU. The Discord told me about the drop. It worked. Who can I report this GameStop location to? I have more than 1 account. I WAS DOING 1 PER FUCKING ACCOUNT. They ruined my drop and they ruined my entire month. I needed this.

>>58213682
Get fucked, lmao.

What brand/type of card sleeves do you like to use for your binders and toploaders? I was using random penny sleeves for toploaders and perfect fits for my binder cards but I feel like perfect fits are more prone to sliding around in the slot whereas a penny sleeve despite being baggy has less chance of shifting around in the slot

>>58213859
- Vault X binders
- perfect fit ultra pro sleeves
- toploaders doesn't matter-they all the same (shit) but i wouldn't buy an unknown brand anyways

never save up on card protection
just buy premium popular brand. it's not popular for nothing

>>58213859
>pfit sleeves prone to sliding around

you have an option

1) sleeves will be sliding around (while card sits tight inside of perfect sleeve)
or
2) cards inside of sleeves will be sliding around

>>58213876
>>58213871
>2) cards inside of sleeves will be sliding around
Fair I didn't really consider this, maybe I'll stick to what I was doing then, I use KMC perfect fits and I do like them. I was also debating getting a toploader binder and trying that out for anything I take outside with me like a trade/show off binder

>>58212745
>>58213354
R-R-R-R-RETARD ALERT!

>>58213311
If this is the one you're thinking about, it's probably legit. They only recently confirmed that there are 94 cards in the set when the ETB and booster box information came out.

It isn't also photoshopped fan art.

bros...we are fucked...

>>58212745
>>58213354
>doesn't even have the correct attack
o i am laffin

collectortards are the worst because they think (F)(D)(C) is the same as (F)(F)

>>58213950
I'm not usually a Charizard fag but I will be collecting this, probably the best Chariazard ever printed. Mega Evolution is looking to be an expensive generation for me, even the base set has more hits I want than any S&V set

>>58213971
Same
but Charizard X is just simply better than other charizards. it's a good design overall and not overused
and if that art is real......ffuuuuuuuuuuuck we are sooooooooooooooooooooooo
fucked

i preordered Inferno X from japanese sellers and this is the first time i did that in my life. So far everything tells that sellers are legit. im literally shaking....

>>58213988
>i preordered Inferno X from japanese sellers and this is the first time i did that in my life. So far everything tells that sellers are legit. im literally shaking....
I'm applying to every lottery I find. If I can't get a box, I'm buying singles from Pokemon center.

>>58213988
Where can you order already? The Regular places for me are only doing preorders

>>58213993
Lottery?
what do you mean? there are plenty of japanese sellers selling inferno x preorders...
(maybe it's different for states anons)

>>58213971
Thanks for reminding me to check my account. I hope you aren't paying more than MSRP

I had a pretty easy time picking up the new DR tin from Gamestop today. I even showed up like 5 minutes "late" after they already opened and they had a nice big stack of them there behind the counter and a very easy line of only 3 people ahead of me. One by one we got our tin and left the store pain-free. I even got to choose my favorite, Nidoking. There was this one guy on the phone though who seemed to be seeing red, he was pissed about something, yelling and stomping off to his car. Who shat in his cheerios? Anyway I'm opening my tin as we speak, I'm super pumped!!!

>>58214004
How are you ordering for MSRP? Proxy Service?

>>58213998
>doing preorders
but...that's what i did.

Inferno X didn't come out in Japan yet. of course it's a preorder.

>>58214009
Sorry what I meant was notifications for pre-orders, they haven't opened up preorders yet. Preorders for preorders..

>>58214013
sorry i'm dumb anon...idk what do you mean.

I mean - i just preordered it from Ebay seller. From a 100% good reviews seller that been on ebay for years.
I don't mind overpaying $20-25

>>58214006
Oh I also forgot to mention I only paid $18.99 for the tin, with no sales tax either with the points I had!! The sales clerk was so helpful in reminding me of my points to use. Got to throw in some toploaders with the savings and pay altogether less than the original retail price of the tin.
Maybe that guy was mad because he accidentally left his wallet at home. Poor guy :(

>>58214006
>>58214037
FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE YOU!!!! AAARRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!

>>58214020
Cheapest I can see on ebay is like 3x Japanese price + delivery

>>58214007
Yeah. And the proxy only adds on about $15 to the final price including shipping.

>>58214003
I live in Japan. Things are sold through lottery systems. You have to earn the right to preorder things.

weird...let me look that up
...
............
.......wha
WHAT THE ACTUAL FLYING FUCK?!?!?!? OVER FUCKING 1000 DOLLARS?

what the fuck happened?
>>58214068
holy fuck anons what the hell

I will post a screenshot of what i bought few days ago.,..

>>58213950
The card text also matched up with the officially revealed one, which if I recall was later the same day after this leak was posted.

>>58214156
>WHAT THE ACTUAL FLYING FUCK?!?!?!? OVER FUCKING 1000 DOLLARS?
>what the fuck happened?
I am punishing ALL of you for ruining my GameStop drop today. You will pay. I will have my revenge.

>>58214156
PS:
Pic is how much my order costs:

I swear during 1st September these boxes were going for 120-160 euros.
I'm really nervous what the hell....i really REALLY HOPE this situation won't fuck my orders

My orders are protected by Ebay, right? i will recieve them anyways?
I bought just two boxes

>>58214156
Just applied to another one.

>>58214184
wait...maybe it's just your american ebay showing this?

I can perfectly see those japanese regular prices - same prices of 130-140-150 euros...and i can preorder again...
Weird...

>>58214228
I'm not using eBay, I'm applying to local lotteries. No way I'm giving 150 euros (30,000 yen) to some reseller for something that's worth 5,400 yen. That's the retail price.

>>58214238
>im applying to lotteries!
>no way im overpaying 20 bucks!!!
top kek
what....

>>58214246
Are you aware of the price gap between 5,400 yen and 130~150 euros?

>>58214250
i think 140eur price is ok for not doing in between bullshit

>>58214260
I'm not going to feed resellers.
Worst case scenario I go to Pokemon center, Yodobashi, etc., to buy singles.

>>58214280
It's my first time experience with Japanese box. i think english can go fuck itself - im not even going to try getting those - im sure it will be difficult and too expensive.
I want to experience a booster box.
That japanese relesser gave it to me for a fair price during this pokemo market. i dont mind that.
>InfernoX singles
i will be buying those for ~2 years im sure.

>>58214127
PokeCenters are the only way to buy at actual MSRP but they're always empty, or at least in anti scalping mode

>every card is $200+
>every cheap card (previously $20) is $50+
when this gay market will end?
im sure it will continue being like that during whole Mega Evolutions wave up to the next generation...

the other question - do i still have time to buy enough Gengars...or not

:^)

>>58214317
not for long ;)
see >>58214330

>>58214330
I don't get it, did the code to unlock PokeCenters get leaked or something?

>>58214336
It was a few different things, but yeah.
1: Take an "Out of Stock" machine and force it to reset and display all product in the machine at that moment.
2: Bypass 1 per transaction limit (buy 40+ singles for example, 5 ETBs, etc.)
Both have been reported with repeatable instructions and video evidence showing the process from start to finish.
3: Some juicy secrets that I cannot disclose until it is patched (live).

>>58214344
I think I might have seen someone exploiting that once. She pulled like 3 ETBs and 5 booster bundles out at once and looked like she was in a hurry. And that machine is always "empty"

Purchases of August
Blazikan TG huge slept on card imo

>>58214378
That's exactly right. And of course she had to hurry-hurry-hurry. She has to book it to the next Safeway/Kroger/etc. where the vendor is restocking at the next location on their route. How does she know where to go? Why, just follow the AirTag, of course!

He didn't though, look up how much 5400 yen is, you got ripped off just as badly as you would've buying an English box.

Does anyone know a site where I can look up Chinese exclusive cards?

>>58215605
I wish this card wasn't $40

>>58216099
Do what vendors do and check most recently sold on eBay if you mean prices

>>58216222
I mostly want to see the art.

>>58216246
There's this crazy thing called Google

>>58214320
you are going to have to wait it out. it could take another 5-10 years. i dont know when it will exactly end, i thought it was going to stop the summer after covid lockdowns ended, but stupid newfags stuck around and didnt fuck off to their own respective hobbies they were doing before being forced to stay home. that was 2 years ago. there was a small dip, but hardly a crash.

>>58216291
>Now I genuinely think
I doubt you think at all.

be a chad like me and refuse the cards that are not in english
INB4 i only care about the artwork
AKCHULLY letters themselves are artistic in nature. so it does matter.

>>58216304
Japanese characters are more aesthetically pleasing than western, japanese is the original language of the franchise, english is just a dub, the best exclusive promos have always been japanese, and japanese texture mogs international so much that some people would rather buy chinese.
Englishcucks are market-driven cattle, i.e. redditors

>>58216304
>AKCHULLY letters themselves are artistic in nature

I prefer Kanji over English because they look more artistic actually :)

>>58216304
?
It's more about foiling that I care about
Japanese cards blow the fuck out English and the cardstock is better too

why buy big tins when you get the packs you want if you just buy them directly and for the same/less price, I saw you just get some journey together rubbish

>>58216435
Not racist. Just find moonrunes repulsive. Simple as.

>>58216462
>salty over Pearl Harbor

>>58216435
nah, you just take it for granted. our entire language is easier to read, write, understand. its done in a certain asthetic. and it does have asthetic. you just romaticize "place japan" with letters. its literally the hardest language to read and understand.

this is how every japanese card looks. the language is on par with ancient heirogliphs. people are just too stupid to know a good thing.

>tried to experience pokemon cards outside of 4chan
>got exausted and started to hate pokemon cards after a week

I fucking swear normies. Nothing i sworst than normies.
Also what's with this....shitty feel in "pokEmOn CoMmUnitiEs"... it feels like everybody is a dickhead hyperbeast sneakerhead.
I always had this feeling with DUDE-BRO attitude where everybody is a fucking douchebag.
Everybody is souless - flexing PSA10 (minimum - psa10. i never saw anybody with PSA9 or lower) of ultra expensive cards.

fuck i felt like an absolute shit and mentally exausted. What a garbage way to interract with hobby.

At least on 4chan i can be autist who likes GOLURK and call other people faggot when i disagree with them.
(picrelated is a photo from one of servers i've been on. it was swarmed by super rich people that own nothing but most expensive PSA10-cards but damn every one of them feels like the most boring souless fuck)

>>58216631
quick question. if you own 10 of the same card. how rare do you really think it is for you to have that many?

>>58211661 (OP)
In china for a month
Ripping some great shit

>>58216662
how much 1 pack in china costs? in dollars amount

>>58216663

Apart from two cards, there's a theme here. Almost done catching up with this backlog of photos.

>>58216787

We sure have so much cool art it's easy to miss something.

I found my old binder from like 2004 and it has one sheet left to fill (back and front). What's a good pack to crack to fill out that last 18 slots that won't cost me an arm and a leg cuz of scalpers, but can still hit my pokemon nostalgia?

>>58211661 (OP)

>>58217024
why would I bother filling out my binder with cards of pokemon I've never seen before? that would be silly. i stopped playing the games after emerald.

>>58217015
>but can still hit my pokemon nostalgia?
Pokemon 151 (100% first gen.)
The Glory of Team Rocket (Most cards are from first, second and third generation.)

>>58217073
Both of these sound exactly my speed. I appreciate it lad. I'll have a look at them now.

>>58217073
>>58217081
seconding 151 + team R
these are basically G1 cards

binderfags been real quiet. starting to think they were stupid for storing expensive cards in them
slab crackers been real quiet. starting to think they were stupid for cracking them
toploader kings marching on
slab stackers keep marching on

>>58217240
you shat hard on Tyranitarfags

that card used to be a "card for normal true pokemon fans becuase this card is not as popular as others"

>>58217261
i have binders but i'm also a nervous autist. If a card i want costs more than 200 bucks - i will buy graded to be sure i'm having this expensive thing secured and prooved

>>58217291
I bought a cgc 9.5 for a card and it was $10 under its ungraded value

>>58216616
Ancient mew is one of the best looking cards in the entire franchise, I don't know what your point was

>>58217300
i mean...cardboard is one of the fragile things on this planet
if it's 200+ for a cardboard then i will be sure to keep that carboard in a crystal case

imagine buying a $500 card. taking it and then ACHOOO!!!! and card falls on a dusty carpet

i would shit my pants and die of a heart attack

Two weeks from now I'll fly to Chengdu. Any recommendations how to get the China exclusives? Just ripping packs? Are there stores to trade or something?

>>58216662
Not in China but I pulled that too recently

>>58217438
why do you unironically watch these videos

>>58217546
im curious about what actual zoomers think about pokemon
I care about my hobby and im interested to hear what younger generation thinks about it.

after all it's THEM who will be supporting my hobby when i hit 50lvl.

>>58217544
Also this non holo ex from a promo pack

>>58217556
that's so cursed

>>58217556
that's so epic

>>58217556
that's ok

>>58217549
what age is zoomer for you? i know my little cousin and his friends were all intensely into pokemon pre-covid, when they'd have all been like 9-10.

i gave away an aquapolois holo umbreon because i didnt know it was worth anything. it was my favourite card too.

>>58217579
curly hair young guy in his 20s

>>58217588
i guess i wouldnt consider someone in their 20s to be a zoomer.

>>58217590
>i wouldnt consider someone in their 20s to be a zoomer
google "gen Z age" anon
it's not that difficult. use internet boom-boomie

>>58217414
So what's the situation there then? based gen V is already covered just from one set, so how close is gen I? Feels like they're almost done.

>>58217597
i reject the idea that a generation can be 15 years long. i invent my own generations.

>>58217556
Definitely a neat piece. Though there was also that Toxtricity illustration contest promo, so not entirely unique.

>>58217601
It's ok anon.
Just to insert this into your brain: Older zoomies are in their early 30s.

it's 2025, boomie. Time to wake up.
I did.

>>58217620
nonsense. utter woke nonsense.

>>58217622
generation names are not woke gramps

Picked this up recently to add to my Ultra Beast collection.

>>58217628
yes they are

>>58217240
My favourite mons are Lucario and Greninja, rate my taste

>>58217647
i r8 it 8/8

>>58217240
maybe im an npc too cause I couldnt reply to any of those questions cause there are so many different ones I like

>>58217261
Sorry for the wait, binderchad here enjoying his cards with minimum plastic bloat

>>58217639
you're slow in the head. these generational terms that represent the age groups were around since the 60s, way before your "woke" terminology you boomers use for anything you don't comprehend came about.

>>58217634
>bad edges
THINK OF THE GRADE!!!

>>58217708
the 60s were woke too. the terminology is utter woke nonsense. i alone decide what generation someone belongs to and i name those generations.

>>58217600
Gen1 is not even close, more like 50%, and that's counting IR/SIR and older alt arts from SM and SWSH, trainer galleries, etc. You could add some XY cards, they had some special illustrations and some borderline cards that you could consider illustrated with a real background and a drawn pokemon that is not 3Dslop.

I bought a white flare ETB because a PokeCenter had one but I forgot this set sucks

>>58217873
give it to me

>>58217884
No I'm going to sell it for $100 on ebay and there is NOTHING you can do about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5x BCW Toploader storage boxes, stores 200 toploaders - $20 bucks ebay
1000 count toploaders - $60-80 bucks
1000 penny sleeves $20 buck
if you buy in bulk it will cost you 120-150 EZ and is the best starter kit for real collecting.
you can buy a $30 dollars on a vault x binder to show off your crap cards you dont want stolen at conventions.
if you just buy individually it could cost you 300-450 for storage of 1000 cards.
is 150 bucks too expensive to protect cards that could appreciate in value to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars? binders are crap. pony up buttercup.

>>58212178
This kind of cuckthink is why the TCG is fucked right now.
Logan Paul is also responsible for the cuckoldry thanks to his faggy-ass $3,000,000 Pikachu card.

One day they'll stop being faggots and give the gen 6 fossils new cards.

every time i feel frustrated with this hobby and upset about stupidity of investorfags or scalpers i just go and watch Opossum Bud and have a good fucking laugh

Im from europe. Fat orange pedos can't enchance my shipping prices

we bought all the Phantasm Flames stock btw. hit is up on Discord if you want an ETB. we'll sell it to you for 3x the price if we're feeling generous enough. :)

>e::grish
I already bought what i wanted, anon. Overpriced low quality english garbage can go fuck itself

>>58219854
stop posting this good shit, i hate the modern market and this is like crack to me. end of the day you better be happy how you spent your money. now this dumbass has 50 of these wondering why he has them. especially when they aint going anywhere in value. lol. its always easy to show pride in cards that are worth money. wonder where these people will be when their investments aint panning out like they thought.

>>58219916
- invest in chase cards
that's all

Just buy the most expensive chase card before it goes expensive
OH WAIT THERE IS JUST ONE THING
1) you have to be a real (and i mean real) pokemon fan
2) you need to have an experience in Pokemon franchise overall

This why i bought 2 Giratinas and 3 Lugias.
Now i have psa 9 and PSA 10 giratinas and 2 PSA10 lugias and 1 psa 9 lugia.
While people were hating on Lugia because it's from a "cheap set" and people stopped caring about giratina because "eh...it's getting old" so i bought two when it was like $270.

Then i was instantly into Magikarp when it was extremely cheap. Same about Bubble Mew (hilarious how people thought it's a shit card because the art is childish)

I'd rather have less but in chase cards. Than a lot of garbage speculated for the future to the moon.
You have to be a total pokefag to notice such things.

It's so simple (just buy cool looking cards of the most popular pokemon) yet people don't get it.

>>58219927
I only buy dips.

So is Destined Rivals just over? I was enjoying that set

If I posted an ungraded SAR worth a good chunk of money that I don't really want slightly above its price but also lopped in like 400 cards I don't care about would that sell?

>>58220001
how is it over? it will be printed and posted on market for a year or more

>>58220008
I just haven't seen it restocked is all. Meanwhile Pristmatic and Journey Together are still going strong and the sets are awful.

>>58220015
be patient
it's literally just came out
You will be seeing this shit a year later.

i mean 151 is like... 2 years old? And we still seeing that crap despite its being a special set

slowly over time people will realize how stupid they were dumping thousands into this market. there is way too much product out there. this is why i wait for the dip.

>>58220020
I wish I was still seeing 151 in my area, fuck. That was a fun set.

>>58219880
I fucking hate people who buy anything from these people

I just wanted some packs and maybe pull some fun stuff every now and then. Pokemon is going to be dead in like 5 years if it keeps going on like this. Not even Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh are this unhinged.

>>58220021
>slowly over time people will realize how stupid they were dumping thousands into this market. there is way too much product out there. this is why i wait for the dip.

>>58220021
i wonder how PSA even feels about this.

>>58219927
People just want to build a collection of cards they like to look at, regardless of their value, while you nigger faggot just buy multiple copies of the same card just because it's popular (based on the opinion of someone else), to hide them in plastic and then in some box to rot for years, while you look at money graphs instead of the cards themselves. Go back to r/pokeinvesting or just hang yourself

>>58220235
>People just want to build a collection of cards they like to look at, regardless of their value, while you nigger faggot just buy multiple copies
I'm pretty sure i have a bigger and more "true fan" collection than you anon...

I collect multiple pokemon as well.
I also know the price of my cards and what price some card will get 2 years later.

I'm collecting using smart tactics. The part of budget for buying cards come from stuff i can sell. You can cry and you can whine. But most of older experienced collectors also investors because we have knowlege for that.

>>58219880
>obshittyan flames 2.0
hope these niggas enjoy it lmao

>>58220235
i own 4 copies of shiny Mega Fugs because i wanted to own a playset of it even though i don't really play the game (i know the rules though)

>>58220246
Post your favorite cards then.

>>58220414
>Post your favorite cards in shitpost thread

you sure seem to, considering how fast you reply to every post

>>58220493
>and that doesn't prove anything
okay, anon
here is your (you)

I need either a Rayquaza or a Dunsparce.

>>58220506

Do you guys have any swirl holos?
Post em

>>58220508
add amazing rare rayquaza he's very underrated

>>58220001

>>58220510
Same
take care <3

>>58220508
add Mega Rayquaza anon!

>>58220573
That's a post-gen III Pokemon. I don't touch anything beyond that generation, that's where I drew the line when I was a kid.

>>58220588
based out of touch boomer

new gengar card leaked

>>58220677
Must buy, must buy, buy must…

>>58220588
Very cringe.

>>58220677
Custom made card, not real.

After the auctions close today, itll probably break $700.
Could even push up to $800.

>>58220850
One day someone might care

Almost at 5k

>>58220850
>i didn't buy this when it was $90
i thought it's too much for a card...even if i bought a $200 Giratina

i will never do that mistake with chase cards ever again
BRING IT ON MEGA EVOLUTION. I WILL FUCKING BUY ALL OF YOUR CHASE CARDS EVEN WITH CREDIT CARD
I WILL FUCKING DO IIIITTTTTTTTTTTT

I hate SV era

>>58221116
honestly same
hate in-game gimmick
hate how that shitty gimmick touched some of the cards
hate scalperfags
hate this era

Sword and shield was so much better. we had investorcucks yet we also could buy product and it wasnt weirdly pumped

>>58214400
>Did this artist make Haunter?
Yes, two of them in fact :)

>>58221153
nice. it seems that their style did change a lot over years if you compare the 2009 Haunter and Herdier to what artist does these days.
>tfw your schizo brain keeps evolving
im so glad pokemon has such artist as Komya or Kanda or other unique ones.
it's one of the best things about Pokemon cards.

for example i will never touch Lorcana because all of their cards look like samey digital AI-slop (and it is - couple of artists been outed already and one even was blacklisted by Disney)
PS:
I wonder what happened to that artist that used to make microscopic Yarn-dolls photos...
i didnt see a single yarn-doll art on scarlet/violet cards...

>>58220743
I prefer calling it "having standards."

>>58221165
Asako Ito
we have dunsparce and sandygast with silver borders

>>58221178
trubbish is way better/cute/creative than shitty g1 mons like Rock-DUDE or ...a fucking ball or magnet

>>58221219
AHEM akschually the rock-dude has triangular sugimori eyes and therefore it's 1000% SOVL

>>58221114
its a movement, dont be sad because you aint apart of it. lots of people bought before the mew boom.

>>58221294
>its a movement
Yeah, a bowel one lmao
