German cards are kinda kino

>>58359493
>sniebel
it sounds like shitpost-way to say the original name

Like "aww fugg :D" or "birb" or "fren :)"

>>58359319 (OP)
wtf is this

>>58359604
>>58359493

>>58359493
Where the fuck do they come with these foreign language names for pokemon

>>58359976
Yeah who the fuck names a pokemon elekid

>It's possible there will be new card art of Hex Maniac soon what with the Z-A set releasing next year. You'll see your Hex card have a momentary leap in cost as people try to get cards ready for their decklists. It happened with the B/W Ace Specs.
Yeah I know, I'm gonna be so excited when that happens! I promise you'll see a binder page full of Hex in here once more when that card inevitably comes out. Hex was a real good "investment" for me these last few years.

is there any particular card you would define as slop?

this came in today

>>58360094
lovely colors and posing. congrats

>>58360094
Cosmic eclipse is so top tier

>>58359976
Tbh Panzaeron goes hard

>>58360093
Anything with a girl on it because girls are icky and gay and God says gay people go to Hell.

So do spanish cards worth something? I mean, of course they do, but just how much less than English cards?

>>58360267
About tree fiddy.

Nippon cards fresh from the mail

>>58359976
like Charizard instead of Lizardon?

>>58360267
On Cardmarket it's English ≥ German >> Spanish > Italian for western languages. but that's for the EU market.
If you're from the USA then I'd imagine things would be different.

when the fuck is everything gonna calm down
this is dumb

>>58360339
I forgot about French but it's closer to German and Spanish than Italian.
I'm not sure why Italian Pokemon cards are so cheap in comparison. Is there no hype for them there?

>>58360267
I mean the name of the pokemon is atleast the same so who cares about the rest... oh yeh, collectors.

Should I boughted?

anyone wanna plan a new pump and dump since that's what everyone's doing now :)

>>58359580
I bet theyre chasing after jasmine

>>58360284
what's your favorite out of these?

>>58360453
Reverse holo buyouts of 151 is the new play, so people cant complete full sets, complete sets, or master sets.
Unless they pay $3-$5 per reverse holo.
This isnt my scheme, its an already kind of late to the party thing unfolding yesterday and earlier today.

>>58360453
This card is from the butthole Pikachu artist.
BUY NOW before it goes TO THE MOON.

>>58360453
Artist of Tera Umbreon, sitting at ~5USD

>>58360462
Fav out of the lot has to be Dawn SAR.
Art looks kino.

>>58360496
Should I expect sneakerheads to just buy out every card ever printed at this point?

>>58360508
Yeah it looks great. Overall great picks enjoy the cards

>>58360510
This is more of a penny stock or shit coin crypto pump play.
>Find something very cheap/ affordable with demand.
>Buyout and relist for double or a new amount thats still affordable to most.
>Establish new market price.
>Every one card sold pays for the purchase of something 20 cards depending how cheap they were.

>>58360496
Do you realize the sheer amount of reverse holo garbage we've have to buy to make a dent in that market?

>>58360528
Once the discords and shit decide okay im buying 10,000 reverse (_____) fill in the blank with whatever pokemon, for .10¢ a pop and relisting at $3-$4 a pop. They only have to sell like what is it less then 10% to make their money back?
Opposum covering the growth:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LY5M-KaLBVk&pp=ygULb3Bvc3N1bSBidWQ%3D

>>58360563
I think you are severely overestimating the amount of people that would give enough of a shit to attempt a full collection including something as lame as modern reverse holos but good luck man.

>>58360576
I want you to search 151 master set on reddit, youtube, and twitter, and report back.

>>58360595
151 is the most collected set, in comparison to any other set. All other sets people pick & choose which cards they like.
I dont think people realize the significance of the pokemon company not having the ability to put all 151 pokemon in a single set due to a lawsuit in like 2000 and was only made possible for the first time in 2023.
Its the quintessential Kanto/ OG set.
Its what every OG card collector wanted.

>>58360094
Good taste.

>>58360612
Some people know the significance, thats why you see the hoarding of product.
Its a two fold tactic.
One its a store of value, two its a way of creating scarcity.

The 151 hoarding is out of control.
https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonTCG/comments/1o0h1a0/the_amount_of_151_and_prismatic_being_hoarded/

>>58360664
God I hope Pokemon cards go the way off the beanie babies soon.

>>58360664
People that hold onto this stuff in the short term are going to suffer unless they sell soon. I know it's trendy to be a "JUST 2 MORE WEEKS GUYS" type of doomer about the current state of the market but honestly the state of pokemon scalping today isn't even close to the level of shit that sneakerheads dealt with in 2021-2023. Unfortunately for us the decline happened slowly rather than rapidly

fucking lol

>>58360718
It's really not hard to coordinate something like this with a group of friends to make a card look expensive

>>58360595
>literally telling people to go to reddit
No thanks. I don't care about one dozen people doing that, you are talking about a manipulation on a product with literally hundreds of thousands of copies each.

>>58360772
With hundreds of thousands of people manipulating it.
Whats ur point?

>>58360703
that happens in two weeks
no more no less

Any idea why DRI is so expensive now?

>>58360828
Wasn't printed as much, it will go down since they are actually printing it now

why are the shiny cards DP/P/BW so cheap?

>>58360931
holy shit stop attracting attention to good stuff.

>>58361134
Nah the good shit is 151
About to end print run so stock up while you can

kill all 151 fags

First time ordering stuff from overseas (Brexit lmao) and I'm very happy to see this as it's impossible to find some cards for a reasonable price in the UK.
It's only a little order for now, bigger one sounds arrive in a couple of days.

Krautbros, Pokemon Center is finally expanding to Germany.

>>58361395
FUCK I left Germany just 4 months ago I'm going to kill myself

>>58361175
>buy commons
based
>shipping commons
waste of money

>>58361633
How else do you propose I get them then? No local card shop sells Neo - HGSS era cards and even if they did the cheapest bus ticket would cost more then the shipping did.

>>58360453
the black gold rares from swsh and radiants

>>58362083
It's already happening. I got five of these things from when I started to actually play the game.

>>58362421
I hate stamps so much its unreal.

>>58362527
I have so many damn stamps from the Sw/Sh era and seeing the price of them rise is giving me the giggles.

How the blueberry muffin fuck are there over 55k of this card having been submitted to psa and over 45k of them are psa 10?

>>58357428

>>58357442
sovl. Thanks for posting carddex bro, I had a horsea picked out but now I’m considering the one you used, very nice. Also you’re insane for doing one of each unown

>>58362716
Are you serious? First off it’s a Japanese printing so it’s already high quality, secondly it’s from one of the newest sets off the line so everyone and their stepmom is keeping it in pristine collection, I.e. sending it off for grading immediately to collect their free tendies off the 10 premium up charge.

>>58360267
>>58360424
>ESL babble

>>58362745
Almost 53000 and counting though is fucking ridiculous especially for a Japanese exclusive promo of a newer pokemon thats not super popular and a trainer that isn't one of the big waifu females.
This card is slapping the van gogh pikachu right on the dick

>>58362859
It's a $10 card raw, so grading it equals grading bulk, i.e a waste of money

>>58362724
Thanks anon, appreciate it.

>>58362859
>Iono
>not one of the big waifu females
get with the times grandpa, nanjamo is the only reason anyone gives a shit about Clay Burst

151? old news

151 Chads we keep winning

>>58363115
wow they are almost back to their all time high

I hope all scalpers die of cancer and aids

>>58360718
>>58360738
when pokemon started acting like fake NFT garbage it died for me

Im so glad im just focusing on finishing couple of Sw-Sh sets that i liked to collect back then.
New sets and HYPE literally makes me vomit every time.

there are nothing good left in this hobby. Just money and poorfags trying to tell everybody that they are rich because they scalped boxes

I genuinely miss those days when the only thing in this community that made me mad were youtube thumbnails like THIS...
man...those were such nothing-problems compared to current ones...

Is /tcc/ experienced with removing scratches from holofoil?

>>58362421
Those prize pack cards can get fucking EXPENSIVE, guessing the reason people dont ever bring them up is cos theyre not full arts I guess...

>>58363529
The marketing campaign that you need these stamped cards for a master set is paying off

>>58363477
Scratches on those DP set reverse holos look so bad especially, i have this problem.

>>58363055
It's $20 and even if that were true it'd be retarded. $10 is nothing to scoff at when talking about new cards that could potentially increase in price.

Spooky season o.O

>Here's your final set from the Diamond & Pearl series, bro.
>It's got an upgraded 21st century version of chadrizard's evolutions from the base set done by the same artist

The rest arrived :D

>bought a box of mega evo for 300 yesterday

Man the ratios are FUCKED. I wasn't expecting a Gold, but 0 Special Illustrations???
I'm sticking to Japanese singles. Anyone buying this fucking shit for $300 is insane. Can't believe scalpers ruined this game so much

based or cringe?

>>58363877
>I'm sticking to Japanese singles
next time make your shitpost less obvious

>>58363877
>bought a box of mega evo for 300 yesterday
I came here just to post this.
I spent around 100eur on this box.
Still like what i got - the trainer card and Charcadet are cool. This is the least painful "dud box" I could get.
I watched lots of Inferno X openings and getting that vampire-guy trainer and an item was scaring me so much.

I never opened a japanese booster box before so i'm glad with this experience.

>>58363994
worse than 5ban's worst full art

Your smartest Poogieman consoomer, folks.

>>58363877
>bought a box of mega evo for 300
unless you wanted the silly looking gold cards you could have bought whatever single you wanted for that price.

>>58364023
my bad, 5ban's worst card is better than the best sugimori stock art card.

>>58364023
I couldn't quite put it into words but this is 100% the feeling i get when looking at them.

It's that endearing nostalgic but tacky sort of low effort and sometimes very out of place look. A few aren't quite as dogshit as they are charming. This particular style with the IRL backgrounds seems to exclusive to the DP era.

The raikou v got expensive before I could buy it....

>>58363994
>>58364068
Houndoom card literally looks one of the never forget 9/11 anime pictures, just missing the text

>>58363994
People will hate me for it but I say based based based. hating sugimori is unironically one of the most cringe behaviors from pokecollectors.
>hurrrr durrrr Le stock image
You stupid mother fucker, it’s considered “stock image” because he’s the original.

>>58364199
big difference in hating sugimori the artist and hating the cards that are "illustrated" by him.
picrel is NOT by him, thus stock art. meanwhile...

>>58364199
>>58364240
this awesome card is.

regret so bad not buying a 1st ed base charizard grade 9 when it was chilling at 10k

ordered this for 200e, every other store here sells it for like 300e, still feel bad spending so much oh well one month of time to cancel if I regret it

I'm missing about 16 cards from Aya Kusube and 6 of them are these guys. fuck.

>>58363078

I just started my own Card Dex, but I’m trying to only include borderless cards (Full Arts, IRs, SIRs UR, etc.)

>>58364622
>$500 for non holos
way too much

>Spend $220 on Mega Evolution ETBs and BB

This market sucks ass but at least I got this win.

>>58364896
>using tcgplayer as a source for market info
lmao

Why does this card seem to be worth so much? And to rub salt in the wound, all the non extortionate listings are from the US, which are out of the question because of shipping fees/time.
It's the one and only card i even want from this set, because i'm collecting the Sumiyoshi Kizuki illustrations. reeee

>>58365070
investors have been going all in on diamond/pearl/platinum the past few weeks.

>>58365213
Is that so...

>>58365070
>Why does this card seem to be worth so much?
It's a $5-$20 out of print uncommon card from almost 20 years ago, what do you mean it's expensive?
Seems to be an accurate price

>>58365248
Well it's obviously not because it's uncommon, because there are plenty of others below $5

>>58363877
You are worse than a scalper for paying those kind of prices and encouraging the behavior

>>58363877
you have to open 3 boxes on average to pull one SIR

>>58365272
You realize it's a Kizuki card right?
His art got worse over time, but early on his art had soul, style and was interesting

>>58363877
>REEEEEEEE WHERES MY RARE SIR CARDS THAT ARE GUARANTEED!?!?!?
You have to be 18+ to post here anon

>>58364199
'stock image' refers to the background image, not the illustration. fucking retard lmao

>>58363865
Why two Shroomish?

damn, cards when? Enamorus didn't even get one when they were shilling hisui.

>>58365414
I know, that card is TOO good, which is why i'm a bit disappointed. Those pikachu promos are also really nice.
Poliwhirl, Dugtrio, Electrode still on my list.

>>58364622
>>58364780
How much just for the dragons. Because you would think they would be the most sought after

>>58365688
100-120 each

Umm when was "Grope" a move... eww sentret, stoooop

>>58365841
Id let him hit

These are getting pricey

>>58365899
Something about this card looks off to me personally
The art is good, but for some reason it just looks meh
I don't know if it's the angle, composition, shading, color scheme or what, but it just looks mediocre for an SIR imo

>>58365958
I know what you mean. It's the weird emphasis on MewTwo's cock/tail taking up a big part of the image that makes it weird

>>58365958
I know 5ban and others exist, but i don't like when illustrator names are like twitter handles

>>58366038
It's kind of thing with some Japanese artists. Like SUDA51

>>58366070
SUDA51 is just a stylistic version of his actual name, it's pronounced the same so no big deal, 5=go 1=ichi 51=Goichi which is his actual name Goichi Suda
Iwamoto05, 05=ゼロゴ=Zero Go, meaning it's not his actual name and just some numbers for flair

>>58365504
I'm glad you asked

>>58366104
Neat though if you can make some kind of pun out of your artist name

>>58366121
Based collector of relatively unpopular Pokemon

>>58366121
this guy loves mushrooms

>>58365453
This post has inspired me to create a sugimori dex. People are losing their shit over mega evolutions, and I’m putting together a sugimori dex. Damn it feels good to be this based

>>58363660
You missed Red Dragon Archfiend (ghost from the past 2)
Anyway that Black Rose Dragon signed by Erica is really beautiful

>>58359319 (OP)
OP YOU ARE A DUMBASS!!!! CORSOLA DOESN'T LEARN SPOTLIGHT YOU STUPID FAGGOT!!!!!

The original language is the only one that matters.
English cards are like watching dubbed anime.

>goes into a collector thread to tell people to stop collecting

>>58366433

?

Investor fags shitting up just enjoying cards they like

>go to argos to pick up battlefield
>Some tard already in their buying up the entire mega evo etb stock
Everything about this hobby is so fucked

>>58365958
I never really liked Mewtwo so all of The cards are meh to me. The art on this card is boring too.

>>58365958
Too much emphasis on giovanni
Also mewtwo is flaunting his cock tail
The posing is also kinda boring
Garchomp on the otherhand

>>58366133
>>58366147
He's just a funny lil guy. For a casual collector with not much disposable income this has felt good to put together.

Any other yuro bros around? Did your stores get the Yveltal promo for launch today? None in my area got the promo but at least I managed to get an ETB this time.

>>58366599
>gamestop/eb games promo
I couldn't think of a more worthless stamp even if I tried

>>58366574
If I had any connections to the Pokemon Company I'd advocate fully for a Shroomish art rare just for you

>>58366642
It has the set stamp here instead of Gamestop. Still not all that special but it would have been nice to get it after they promised them for 30€ purchases.

>>58366646
:3
Honestly Shroomish is well overdue an IR, though I'd also lose my shit over an Asako Ito illustration.

I wish this was a full art :(

>>58366650
>mega entwicklung
holy fuck really?
I could have sworn evolution was words german used?
what a fucked up gross looking stamp, I guess all non japanese stamps are dogshit

>>58367074
Evolution is a word here too but Entwicklung feels like the better word for Pokemon.

>>58367098
gross looking word
moreover they kept mega instead of using a more fitting german word

>>58367141
Mega is a normal German word.

>>58367147
I can't wait to see the stamp for Mega Entwicklung Geisterhafte Flammen

>>58367147
not really
>>58367225
It's Fatale Flammen, all german translations are fucking stupid because it's an autistic language
At least english has no pretenses on it's retardation in due to all the loan words and etymology bs

>>58367225
It's Fatale Flammen.
>>58367242
how is Mega not normal in German. It's very common.

>Journey together is ReisegeFÄhRTen
>Surging sparks is Stürmische FUNKen
meme language
Next set will probably be Cockenbällen suckemeister

>>58367264
I'm really not sure why other languages always upset you so much.

>say something incorrect

Like pottery

pulled Umbreon
at this point i will stop opening Prismatics

>>58367579
I also pulled this gold terapagos from prismatics.
It did made me super happy though

imagine pulling ANYTHING from prismatics let alone a gold card. I still smile thinking about it.
It's not an expensive chase card but still...
i definitely felt those gambling dophamine-bros attacking my brain cells - it felt amazing...

>>58367811
If I opened that from a pack I'd tear it in half so that it can't be used against me.

>>58367811
Nice, I got the gold Pikachu ex from my one ETB of Prismatic. It's funny how nobody cared about gold cards until now.

>>58367839
>It's funny how nobody cared about gold cards until now.
i always cared
during sw-sh gold cards were so much better than rainbow cards

they were the next best cards after illustrations/galleries

>Mega Evolutions launch day in UK
>no big stores in my area have ANY Pokemon cards STILL
Remember when you could just order shit online at MSRP or even below at any time with zero stress? Can retards stop enabling scalper niggers already so we can go back to those better days sooner rather than later?

>>58368017
>Mega Evolutions
just buy that Lucario/Gardevoir card as a single.
and don't spend money - save up for Phantasmal Flames so your christmas season will be much better overall.

im sharing this XP just because it's 4chan and every anon is my bro

>>58367839
>It's funny how nobody cared about gold cards until now.
The only times anyone cares is when they have unique art, like the Egawa ones and the new mega ones.

>>58368026
Already have a Pokemon Center pre-order for Phantasmal Flame booster box but missed the window for Mega Evolutions, would like an ETB for that one Gardevoir version specifically. Some restocks for BBWF would be nice too, haven't those in stock literally anywhere since early August.

To others who collect master sets of specific pokemon, do you include EVERY version of every card? like Stamped and Champions deck cards? I started a few of these for my fav pokemon but am having trouble deciding if I should buy every single version or just stick to of of each printing. Mostly about these 2 cards. They both have stamped cards , and they both cost a bit. But its the same art and card, except the language. The one on the left has a Japanese WHF stamped. And the right one has a English Stadium Challenge stamp.

>>58368086
My main concern is the illustration so I just get one copy of each one, if there's a holo variant then that's the one I go with for commons and such.

I've been shit talking the rirrie card and of course that is what I pull today from my etb lol.

>>58363877
Why are there still retards cracking packs that are that expensive? You shouldn't be pulling from anything that didn't cost you $3.99 per booster. Anything else is for investing.

>>58364106
It's just $20.

>>58360094
Peak dawncunny card

>also want to ollect master set of my favorite pokemon
>...
>it's gengar
No thanks. I'm fine.
PS:
I always liked Dodrio and even use it in games but most of dodrio cards are ...bad.
(Doduo cards are neat-there is even in-cards-lore about Doduo Delivery stuff...maybe ill try to collect them)

>>58368003
Noooo, you're not supposed to pretend to like gold! Who do you think you are, Scump?!? We always likes RAINBOW more! You can tell because they were more expensive because they had less supply, but they would've been more expensive either way because rainbows r kewl!

>>58363877
The LGS I go to was selling enhanced booster boxes at $185 if you let them take the plastic wrap off before purchase. The only card of particular note I pulled was an SIR Mega Absol, but I was quite happy to be able to buy a booster box again.

>>58368086
>do you include EVERY version of every card?
If I were to ever do that I would have to to keep it interesting. Caterpie, while very mainstream, hasn't really been printed that often. I already have multiples of his most expensive variant though anyways, so it'd be easy to get the ball rolling.

>>58368189
>but most of dodrio cards are ...bad.
nevermind
they much better these days
That's it i will try to collect dodrio set...

>>58368125
Which one?

>>58363877
>>bought a box of mega evo for 300 yesterday
>Can't believe scalpers ruined this game so much
>>bought a box of mega evo for 300 yesterday
You're to blame, retard.

>>58368226
I am going to bet it's Ribombee because that's the one I've seen shit on in this thread the most.

>>58368197
I guess so. I finished my Claydol set so the only thing to do is wait for another card to be released or collect the variants. So I'll just focus on finishing other sets and collect the other versions later on.
>>58368202
Good luck b

>>58368263
I like Kyogre a lot too and kind of do have a little Kyogre section in my binder already, but it's missing most of the super expensive variants, that'd be boring. There's only 34 Kyogre cards out there, and a lot of them are just the one kind of rarity anyways. If I were to do this it'd be with Magikarp and Gyarados I think, now that'd be a nice goal to aim for. Has shiny variants, Legendary Collection variants, multiple stamped variants and all sorts of reprints, gives me a reason to get that Shinji Kanda variant to go with my Giratina V, yeah that'd be ideal.

>>58366326
Stop being weird bro

>>58364896
gardevoir fags deserve this and more

what...i had no idea japanese moonbreon is so cheap. I saw this as this sort of unreachable card for rich people.
400 is fine - i can buy it with klarna with 3 payments and be in peace with this whole pokemon collecting thing

>>58368505
Why?

>>58368859
>buy it with klarna
bro...

This card is still too expensive for $35

>>58366121
4x4 is such a flex

>>58366813
Why do 151 trannies hate sandslash where the FUCK is the full art?

>>58368984
crazy this is $35, I remember buying it with other gallery cards for like $5 each. this hobby has gotten so stupid

>>58366293
>wooper
pokemon for men and gods

>>58368975
what's the problem? I know it's "our generation death trap" but with such pokemon cards and my income i can totally afford 3 payments with klarna.
i dont want to just buy a 400-500 bucks card but with stretched payment-yes...

I dont use klarna for anything else or much more expensive things.

>>58369185
>>58368975
PS:
I won't buy that moonbreon tho.

The whole idea of "i can't afford moonbreon so i will buy cheaper japanese one with DEBT money" makes me feel poor and stupid...
This is one of those feelings "this is the new low".

but feeling of not being able to buy english doesn't feel good either.
However at the same time owning japanese moonbreon i bought with Klarna will remind me that i can't actually afford pokemon cards...

Gengar people love to drive up the prices of their cards even though every single one of them are ass

>>58369203
based i just bought 2

Post your collectr portfolios!

>>58369212
I like this one though. I like that Gengar was going to spook Pikachu but they both noticed something even spookier outside of the frame. Even the Ekans noticed whatever it is

>>58369223
:0

>>58368975
If you know you can pay it off, I don't see the problem. I have £70k in savings because I have the fear of God in me that I will end up being jobless and poor again, so klarna things all the time to ease the financial burden.

Though I wouldn't klarna a Pokémon card. I did klarna a Fujifilm X100VI since £1600 in one go would have been a stinger

If you can afford then just buy it outright instead of playing around with debt.

>>58369323
someone's angy

>>58369323
I think this anon makes money off of reselling cardboard rectangles.

Why even bother grading if a card actually loses value if it's going to be anything less than a 10?

>>58366121
Nice.

>>58369347
Yeah I’m sick of the same poor autists making the same fucking posts every single day about how sad and mad they are that they can’t open modern slop bullshit.
>fucking scalpers! I can’t buy the mega slop and I’m completely removed from my “hobby”! I’m so fucking unoriginal and simpleminded that I can’t find any other card that I would like to collect other than the modern trash they are shoveling out every 2 months!! :((((( everybody let’s stop buying and make these scalpers go poor!
Shut the fuck up and go collect every durant card

>>58369361
You’re right, I’m not some new faggot that just started collecting when prismatic came out so I’ve made substantial gains. I continue to buy cards that are under appreciated and that I enjoy owning whether they are $1 or $100. When I find product I buy it, when I can’t I buy singles. Get a fucking life or a minimum wage job so you can all stop crying that other people are making money while you play around in the dirt

>>58369407
Relax, it's just paper with pretty art.

>>58369407
Oh yeah? Well I'm sick and tired scalper niggers, their defense force and what they did to the hobby. How about that, faggot?

>>58369429

>Shut the fuck up and go collect every durant card
This feels targeted, i just so happened to buy a fucking durant card yesterday. Fuck you!

>>58369261
Just a preference. I’m not calling it childish or that I’m above it, otherwise I wouldn’t post here and collect Pokémon cards at all. Nor would I have supported Anon talking about using it to buy TeraFes Umbreon if I thought it was childish or immature, so long as they can afford it.

You are just projecting your insecurities by inserting those words and thoughts.

>>58369641
dude you buying photography items with Klarna which means you clearly can't afford your hobby. Im not the one projecting

>>58368017
Never going to happen so long as 99% of people collect to make money, which is how the hobby is now. Every time someone posts their sealed collections, talks about how a card is “worth” significant sums of money, the demand will be there from others who want to make money and scalpers will exploit that by becoming a middle-man.

>>58369648
I mean, I paid it off a year ago since it was 3x£500.

I just having savings autism, so every time I hit a benchmark number, I mentally reduce the number to zero so that I scare myself into thinking I need to save more. Using services like Klarna assuages that tism so I still feel like I’m saving.

>>58359319 (OP)
>Black Bolt and White Flare sold out where I usually get cards
God I hate scalpers, also didnt know there was a Deluxe box version what's the difference?

>>58369776
Means that they don’t do booster boxes. You’re restricted to getting ETBs, booster bundles, etc. in order to get cards. It makes it pack inefficient

>>58369776
Like 30 cards in one pack and one of them is a guaranteed AR.

Good morning tcc
God do I fucking hate scalpers.

i mean no - pls keep thos boxes clean. I will buy them during the next market crash. :)

>>58369854

>>58369864

>>58369836
>Why did you get so offended at that post?
I was just joking.
Klarna sucks - i agree.
But that guy still bought fucking Fujifilm with klarna which is not that different from me thinking about buying pokemon card with Klarna.

In fact...it's exactly the same only in my situation pokemon card costs 400 bucks and in his situation it's an $1000+ item.
Only in my situation i had enough dignity not to use Klarna to buy hobby items with debt-money.

>b-but i did that just because i'm obsessed with savings
I also can buy a $400 card with my money. I just don't want to spend that much on a card but 3 stages of payment looks "cheap" enough (it doesn't it's a false technic they using to make people go in Debt)

I love seeing scalpoids sell when they don’t realize PKM is a long term hold. Sure they’re making $100 here and there now. But if they HODL, it’ll be 10x that in 10-15 years since PKM outperforms any other stock.

Why just this guy? Were the other characters just not as interesting to get their own cards?

I don't typically buy booster boxes or ETBs, just pick up random boosters when I happen on them, I only open one pack every day or two to make them last longer. Pic related is my current stock, I also buy magic cards but they haven't been restocked in the past week for some reason.

collector bros... not like this...

>>58369603
But are you collecting them all?

>>58363663
dont forget its better in Japanese (like most things tend to be) and the shinies are unique instead of just boring reverse holos and it actually named "Intense Fight In The Destroyed Sky" but aint nobody want to say that shit or even abbreviate such a name so even Japanese people call it Stormfront
also, Platinum sets (in Japanese) is kino

New qts

I have all those diaper ones, they look cool even if it's sugi

Sent my first card off to PSA with a few friends. I chose my sealed Ancient mew that i unsealed and submitted. It looked amazing. One of the best cards. Even if it doesn't score a 10 ill just be happy to have it in a slab but it really might be. I kept it in good condition since i saw the movie.

>>58370243
No i'm just a team plasma chad
>pic unrelated as card has not arrived yet

>>58370365
I have never understood this with asian languages why they have to name everything like a whole sentence

>>58371090
because it's a lot shorter in Japanese. 破空の激闘

>>58369151
Those are pretty common. Flexing to who? Poor people?

>>58369932
He's right though, Ankha still gets new porn daily, this isn't some dumb generation thing.

>>58371168
I never did have a 'linguistic' mind. I think its better if i try less to understand it, with my usual logic atleast.

>>58371206
Well to most people it's overkill. Unless you are collecting something that requires lots of slots per page, like you are. I looked on vaultx website, they had 2. Maybe they are common in your little autist circle but the standard is not 16 per page. To most people it's no point paying double for.

>>58368017
>UK
>says MSRP
You spend way too much time around Americans.

>>58371168
I wonder if the reason why YuGiOh cards have such long names is because the translators translate the cards almost literally from the Japanese rather than localising names.

>>58371236
I bought them because I played Magic dude. The largest, ringless binders you can get are always the most ideal if you plan to have a lot of Rares and Mythics preserved and neatly held up for trade. Better for displaying playsets after all if your collection's fairly small still. Mine's also a sideloader if you're that impressed by card autism. It's just the best there is when money is no option, which it should be, because we're talking about mother fucking Chinese cardboard nigga.

>>58371342

Fated Azure Dragon (as in da one from the 4 symbols asian legend) - Blaster
Fuck if I know how they came up with most of it. Probably just going purely off the art the Japs give them. Yeah this dragon's in hell, he probably RULES this place, fuck yeh.

>>58371378
it's 青眼の白龍 in Japanese

>>58371462
Furigana exists for a reason, they are literally chinese symbols for the English words, fakku yuu desu yo.

>>58371462
Check the text above. Yugioh loves to do the thing where the 'main' name is some chuuni kanji and the furigana (and the name used when the card is talked about) is some 'cool' english name
