How do you feel about HP/MP in your binder collection?
I just won an auction on the Espeon & Deoxys SM 240 promo! I love the art so much and I’ve been interested in it for a few years when I got back into collecting with my son and he picked out the Unified Minds UR of the pair at a card shop. I was just kind of aimlessly scrolling eBay and it popped up at $26 ending in like 20 seconds. Did a quick once over the pictures and saw a bit of whitening on the back and some pretty good dings on the top, saw the seller had a great rating and a decent amount of feedback and made a $30 bid at the literal last second. I was honestly a bit shocked when I got the congrats on the win message because I saw a damaged listing on TCG Player for $40 like a week ago. I’m a binder collector so I’m jacked I saved like 70% of a NM/LP and still got a pretty good deal based on the damaged listing on TCG Player. Most of our cards we’ve pulled and all but a couple of the singles we’ve bought are LP or better. I’m actually kind of excited about having a bit rougher of a card in the binder! I was curious about how you fellow collectors felt about more modern cards with a bit more love on them in your collection?
