Has anyone been successful with Walmart drops? I try every week and always get stuck at this screen. Refresh right at 9pm. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if the bots are just too good
I had a card at auction listed as LP that had been going on for a week. On the last day, someone came in, got into a bidding war with everyone, won, and an hour later—after the label was already paid for out of my pocket—they said there’s a scratch and that I should’ve put it in the description. It was listed as no returns. This is the 3rd time it’s happened. Not the same person, but still, it’s been 3 times.
Should I just say all sales are final? I already packaged it and put it into my mailbox down the street. The black spot is just dust.
The Pokémon machine has become such a hostile environment, so when I saw a bunch of older dudes standing around the machine today, I was 90% sure they were scalpers. Regardless, I head over to the machine to see if there is anything. To my surprise, these dudes were just waiting in line, taking turns picking stuff out of the machine and talking about Pokemon. There were four of us, and four packs left. The first guy took his turn, got one pack, and when the second guy went for his turn, the third dude asks me which set I’m after. “I’m actually after Destined Rivals but, looks like this guy’s buying the pack so that’s alright.” Is what I said. To my surprise, guy two turns around and says, “Oh this pack? I haven’t paid yet, you get it man.” And when I said “it’s all good,” he genuinely insisted. So, I got a pack of Destined today at the machine because a bunch of strangers were being really awesome. They all each got one pack, and were super stoked about it. I cannot describe how much that interaction made my day. Even though things suck sometimes with scalpers, I always get reminders like this that the Pokemon community is genuinely wonderful. If they see this- you guys are the best. Thank you for making me have a little more faith in humanity. I didn’t get anything crazy from the pack, but I don’t think I needed it after that interaction. Good day. Good people.
So im on vacation in japan and earlier went to a Pokemon center and saw that a new set is coming out tomorrow, the 22nd. i’ve heard that they have a lottery system that you need to do ahead of time. is it true? If so, how do i enter or is it too late to? Just planning on going to the tokyo dx center and getting a few packs to open. I believe they usually have them behind the checkout counter
I walked into my local Target on the way to work and saw three Mega Evolution-Ascended Heroes Mega Meganium ex Boxes. And...I grabbed one.
The lady working the floor seemed shocked...she stopped me as I was walking and said "you know you can buy 2 right?"
To which I replied: "my kids have enough cards, they'll be stoked to get 2 boosters each. Someone else's kids should get stoked out too!"
She legit looked whistfully off into the distance and said quietly "I wish people were buying these for their kids."
Part of me wanted to go back for the second one knowing that most likely scalpers will end up with these. But on the off-chance that some other kids might get some msrp cards, I decided to leave it. And most importantly, I didn't walk away feeling like some sleazebag.
Who else thinks this set is going to be underrated, personally a big fan of the Mega Darkrai cards. Excited for preorders to drop.
Preorders are expected soon, this group will send an alert to your phone with early links shortly before they go live on Pokemon Center as well as when the queue starts https://discord.gg/hf6Vyr3qfn
Got paid today so went to the local card store, was just planning on looking at their bulk bins, some of their 3D printed animals, and came away with a booster box for chaos rising. Decided I would pace myself, only opening one pack a week and immediately pulled this guy in the first pack 🙏
Just a quick question for you guys. With Pitch black coming up (presumably) quick, I'm curious of there's a trick to actually being able to order. I've joined queues several times already, but every time I get through and into the store, I immediately get an error screen telling me to turn off VPNs, or open on a different device or access internet a different way. I don't know it's because the queue crashes or if product is sold out? If anyone has similar experiences, I'd appreciate some help so I can make sure I get something this time.
Got off work early the last couple days, and finally got around to sorting all my bulk. Scattered between ETBs and binders, it’s all finally organized. Plans are to knock out as much of my Temporal Forces Master Set and hopefully knock out my Phantasmal Flames Base Set.
3 months ago I wasn’t collecting anything. Decided I wanted to get into Pokemon, not knowing the challenge I was facing. Not ashamed to admit that Perfect Order got me into the hobby. In three months I’ve got all this, and 5 binders. Friday can’t come soon enough👌🏻
I noticed a few days ago that PC charged me for my preorders for chaos rising , however yesterday the money was returned??? Is that something that PC does to ensure the accounts have sufficient funds for the product? I just don’t want any hiccups with my order 😭
I found a full set of Ascended Hero's on a very popular auction site and was wondering what something like that would be worth? It's not the full master set but it comes with all the double rares and a few full arts and some promos.

I genuinely think if the next Pokemon set coming out had this as the chase it would be a $400 card. That being said I don’t think these cards are really that underpriced but that modern cards are way over priced.
I will also say that the sets overall are much better now. But still I’d be really worried that once the hype dies down a lot of these cards go way down in price. $1000 cards from sets still in print seems like it can’t last forever
my first time buying an etb and i got this guy! i’ve only pulled maybe one or two full art cards since i started collecting a few months ago so i was really excited! :3
About to send off my first submission, would REALLY appreciate the view of some experts. Thank you PokeGrading!
Pitch black will be a great set if it’s starting off like this already
