It would eliminate 90% of the issues we are seeing at these machines

Went to my first card show this weekend and sold 6 slabs I had graded for a little under $900. Then took that cash and bought a bunch of cards I thought were cool or ones for Pokémon I love. Wanted to share and would love to see other cool cards you guys have.

Ascended Heroes display out front, full shelves of packs, tins and ETBs. got the alert from pokepings https://discord.com/invite/pokemonrestocks and drove straight there, glad i didn't sleep on it. anyone else seeing stock like this or is my store just built different

I wanna buy this but I don’t know how many packs it has or if it’s a safe website to buy it on can anyone give me some advice

I just got some ultra pro toploaders for the first time. Previously I used another brand and wanted to try out ultra pro...but I feel like these are really loose (the card falls out at the slightest tap when I hold the toploader upside down or even sideways). Is this just how they are or did I make a mistake?

What do you think, everyone? Should I open this? I just got this today, my first ever, any box like this. A couple of days ago, I just started to collect pokemon cards. And also possibly make profit doing it. But I am so tempted to open it. Aye or nay?

So my daughter said she only wanted to collect “a few Pikachu cards”.

Naturally, being a supportive parent, I thought: great, nice little bonding hobby, maybe a page or two in a binder.

Anyway, here we are. Three binder pages later and I’m starting to suspect “a few” in six-year-old terms actually means “every electrically charged yellow rodent ever printed by mankind”.

We have happy Pikachu, angry Pikachu, surfing Pikachu, flying Pikachu, birthday Pikachu, chubby vintage Pikachu, Japanese Pikachu, Pikachu dressed like it has a better social life than me, and several Pikachu cards that appear to have summoned the entire extended family for moral support.

The funny thing is, this is only a limited number of them. Apparently there are still more. Many more. An alarming amount more.

I used to think Pokémon collecting was about cards. I now realise it’s about explaining to your child why a tiny shiny mouse can cost more than a weekly food shop.

Still, she loves the binder, and I have to admit it does look pretty awesome.

So yes, we are now officially a Pikachu household. Our electricity bill has remained unchanged, but emotionally we are fully charged.

Was able to pick up these two boxes for the first time at a store today so of course I ripped them and thankfully I got the kanto starters! Definitely worth opening in my opinion

So far I haven’t really open that many pack to get those hits. I think this was for about 35 packs total.

Almost got all of S&V & Mega. Recently acquired the Snorlax from 151 and the Eevee from prismatic.

Think it's pretty cool! 😄

What's your favourite?

Mine is Snorlax or the Tyrunt

Rate my corner set up.

It's one sick looking card.
