hello everyone, I decided to draw Venusaur in my style!!! I go by Sotepniques over on instagram and this year im making it my mission to complete all 151 pokemon from the original series. We are currently on No3 here

Hi, I wanted to share my binder because i’m quite proud of it :). What do y’all think?

Last night I went to dollar general for some air fresheners, on account of my work vehicle smelling like a bunch of dirty, sweaty dudes ride around in it all the time.😏

Aaaaanyway, when I went to pay I asked if they had any Pokémon cards and the lady kind of looked down and in between the registers, behind a candy shelf where I couldn't see and pulls out a 30th Celebration ETB. My eyes lit up!! I was so excited!! I was barely hoping to get a yes for a couple of sleeved packs or something, and this lady blows my mind with a dang Celebrations ETB!!

I asked the price, it was 50 bucks, and said I'd buy it. The other cashier then asked "Oh you're only getting one?" So I asked how many they had and how many I could get. Three was the answer to each of those questions and I'm just frinkin out a little because I'm so excited to finally get some Celebrations to rip.

BUT THEN

As my cashier starts to ring things up she looks confused and is really focusing on her computer. Finally she shrugs and says apparently they're buy one get one 50% off!! Then she scanned the final one and looked even more confused! She said she didn't know what was going on with the last one but it was 25% off!

My better half is out of town for work this week, so I had to share my excitement here. Also, they'll be getting ripped Friday night when she's home. I am incredibly excited! We've not had good luck finding stuff to rip lately, so this feels like good karma cashing in or something and I'm well pleased.

Waaaaaay TL;DR

I scored 3 30th celebrations ETBs for like $120 and I'm happy about it, I mean it's like three for the "price" of one! All I needed was some dang air fresheners and I spent a hunnert bucks.

P.S. -

My cashier didn't seem super stoked about me getting the Pokémon, but I doubt she'd be real happy about me buying a pack of gum or anything else. It had to have been around 9 pm. I'm used to them having Pokémon behind the counter, but I've never had them grab it from behind that rack. And if they had sold any earlier, unless everyone else only tried buying a single ETB, wouldn't she know about the BOGO thing?

What I'm getting at is do y'all think she was trying to save it for herself or something? Just seemed kinda odd

Sooo close to mastering this set !!! I'm trying to get into the community and build a good group, I'm also thinking of recording my rips from now on! How many would be interested if I recorded and posted my rips

Recently I've been getting back into the Pokemon world, ( mostly thanks to the 30th anniversary ) which i was a huge fan as a kid. I took a look in my old collection and found this binder which i'm not even sure it's official, inside it there were a few "nice" cards such as the Espeon, the Charizard and the Kangaskhan.

My main questions are if they are worth anything and seeing the condition some of them are, how much does condition impacts their value? Other than the sleeves that i've recently bought is there a better way to preserve them? should i get a new binder?

I feel like a beginner again so any reply can help!

(Sorry if i made any grammar error.. )

What are some good trio cards of the kanto starters? Used pics for example but I personally lean towards vintage

First post here but wanted to see if I can get some advice. I’ve been in and out of the hobby for the last few years but when I was a kid (20 years ago) I remembered I loved pokemon and had a collection. I just found that old collection this weekend. Some pretty decent cards, some not so decent but the one thing I couldn’t believe was the condition. 95% of my old cards are in incredible condition.

I’m looking for advice for what I should do with specific cards and cards as a whole. There’s some I enjoy and I’d like to keep but there’s others I don’t really care about. I could use the money since Pokemon is as hot as it is. What’s some good guidelines on whether I should hold cards, sell cards raw, get them graded, etc. Just looking for advice from collectors in the hobby and maybe those who have had a similar situation.

I also plan to get the gold star Pika graded, thinking I will sell the Charizard (or keep I don’t know) it has some creases and the Blastoise is in great condition so i may get that graded too but I don’t know. Anything helps.

Thank you!

Just wanted to show off what my son has pulled this far from the 30th Anniversary. It’s been awesome to get to watch his excitement with getting to open packs and start his collection. The nostalgia from my childhood plus the joy in him is an indescribable feeling. He’s still holding out for his holy grail in the Rayquaza. Fingers crossed

How'd I do?
