I think the way she did this was a bit absurd. What are your thoughts? Was this justified or what?

Can’t even believe this - brand new shelving no clue how this found its way here.

Just short of 3 years my girlfriend and I decided to break up. Over the past year and a half we’ve enjoyed this hobby together. Going to card shows, building our collections, buying singles and of course ripping packs.

Flashback to last summer when I was home at my mother’s house in NJ, I went to a local CVS. They had one singular Lucario knockout box that I decided to buy. Much to my surprise there were 2 packs of Cosmic Eclipse inside for $15. I couldn’t bring myself to open them but I knew a good time would come.

So after a day of pouring our hearts out, crying, grieving, I knew the time was right. One last rip. She went first and pulled the gold Martial Arts Dojo and then I pulled the Pikachu. A goodbye to girlfriend luck and beautiful send-off to something we really enjoyed together.

Since most of them have been revealed, which ones are your favorites or most excited for? Value wise, what do you think would cost the highest?

My personal fav is the Umbreon EX

I had hoped for some of those where the art fills the entire card. I’ve recently been into pokemon again after not having bought anything since 2015-16 ish. So is this like a normal rate? I also bought some chaos rising and got some of those art ones, like the frogadier and chespin and a couple others as well as some ex’s but with this I got none of those art ones :/ eevee and its evolutions are some of my favourite pokemon so I had hoped for some of those. However, there are a lot of really cool “normal” cards that look really cool so it’s not too bad I think

Edit: guys it’s just really expensive in my country😭 I promise I’m not buying from scalpers😓

Edit 2: okay some of you are just mean asf lmao what is you guys’ problems
Is it that hard to believe not everyone lives in a place where things aren’t just expensive as hell no matter if they’re from ebay or not? World’s a pretty big place yknow

Edit 3: this sub sucks ass lmao I’m out of here😂

Use to have hundreds of Pokémon cards from when I was a kid, when they first came out, super sad as my dad turned around and gave them all to my nephew, and now those cards are worth thousands! Anyways I decided for my 40th bday I was going to grab a few Pokémon cards for myself just because!! So just wanted to share what i got....

Journey Together is the first set I started with when getting back into buying packs! Even as I was opening it I was telling my partner (he has zero interest in Pokemon) about this chase card that I could never get so I ended up buying it cheap in a different language and giving up on the set.
It felt really spooky in that moment!

I suspect its quite rare, but I can't find it on ebay, if I type in yellow cheeks I get ones with 1st ed stamp or E3 etc which doesn't match this card. Thanks for your help!

The Komiya one is disturbing....and that's why I need it the most.

Making memories. So much fun!

Haha!

Been doing a few alters recently to pokémon cards and I wanted to share this one as I'm quite happy with the way it came out!
