Current collection

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get all my pages in 20 pictures but these are my more complete/ favorite pages! I also have about 10 slabs, and the last pic I posted were some of my recent purchases from the last month or two. I’ve been collecting for about two years now and have been on and off and I haven’t bought much of anything since Ascended heroes, since the scalping has just become ridiculous. But I’m happy to see just how high the hit rates are for 30th celebrations and seeing how much is getting printed, it seems like it will be a hard set to scalp, I hope.

Anyways let me know what you guys think of my collection! 😁

Fake?

Hello everyone. I’m struggling to determine if this is real or not. Feels thinner than normal. But the holo and everything else seems legit. Textured as well. But I know they’ve been making better fakes so I figured I’d get a second opinion from yall

PSA 1 potential?

I know they’re not the most detailed pics but given what you see here, do you think this has PSA1 potential or is it too damaged/ not damaged enough?

I’ve never graded cards myself but a while back I bought some old bulk off someone and a few hits are in there, though damaged. I figured I may as well try a shot at PSA 1 with some of them haha

Before it’s too late

So with the Mega Darkrai EX out, peopel discovered it connects to the Giratina Vstar from Crown Zenith and the other mentioned cards. For those who already have them, good stuff for those who don’t, it might be a good time to get them before they sour rocket even more. Though don’t take my advice as auto profit. I’m buying them for my PC. And considering the already extremely inflated market rn, the performance of these cards can easily shift. But in my personal opinion. With darkrai out, these cards will reach new highs and won’t see a low for a while until after the English version of Abyssal Eye comes out

Is it fake?

Hey yall so I got this 151 booster bundle in the mail and was wondering if it looked really to yall? The wrap looks almost too perfect on the sides where it’s sealed but idk I don’t buy sealed often enough to know for sure

Undervalued card

So I came across this Ash’s Pikachu GX. It’s the only Ash’s Pikachu that has a full art and it’s exclusive to Japanese and Korean. It’s on a dip, and even then I think the price is really low for a card that is JP and KN exclusive, apart from being the only full art of Ash’s Pikachu.
Additionally, the Team Rockets mimikyu GX from the same set is one of few cards with Jesse and Hames on it and also a rather cheap card. I got the KN version of Ash’s Pikachu at $109 (with import fees sadly 😭) but it’s def a nice card to have in the collection. Lots of the cards in the US that aren’t graded are played-damaged so if you ever come across a nice one, I’d say go for it

My personal collection

Recently reorganized my binder.

The first pic is some of my favorite arts/artists with the bottom three has honorable mentions and a space for bulbasaur when I get him haha

The second and third pic id say are my big pages, happy to say a lot of these I pulled myself!
I also have pages themed in color/type

A pikachu page

A page of some delta species of artists I like and cards with matching arts (the top three; ekans, hoothoot and dwebble all have one of three legendary birds. Bulba/ivysaur connecting art , slowking/wartortle connecting art, hypno/clefairy connecting Komiya art)

A pink page

Lots of Galarian Gallery

And finally some honorable mentions I couldn’t seem to find a spot for haha

Hey everyone, so I’m going to be attending my first card show as a vendor/dealer soon, and wanted to ask people, whether a vendor or a buyer, what you would expect from a table and how to prepare for the selling? What are some things that may be easily missed when preparing? What do you recommend? Etc etc.
I need overall advice for being a seller but hearing from both sides of the table will help me better understand the community. I’ve really enjoyed being a buyer at shows, and so taking this next step in selling is exciting

Recently broke $10,000 in my personal collection! I’ve seen portfolios far larger than mine but I like this little achievement for myself haha, I collect mostly singles but have bought quite a bit of ascended heroes bundles that I keep in a seperate portfolio for vending.

Apart from breaking $10k I also just broke +50% returns on the cards I have set prices for, the magikarp I bought at $185 just a couple months ago before it shot up in price, that’s a nice one I’ve been riding a high on lol

Seeing your research of cards and learning/knowing which cards to buy and when really goes a long way.

Im not familiar with how PC ETBs perform, even for those etbs that aren’t the best. But I assume any PC ETB is bound to go up right? So should I invest in perfect order PC etbs?
