[worn solstice]

pretty sure i have both, would you prefer lycanroc?

tytytytyty

i ended up with 4 alolan dugtrio ex lmao

[distant portal]

Anyone got dupes of these?

Only 3 cards i need for full set

Extrademensional crisis thing

[worn solstice]

[worn solstice]

gl gl

[worn solstice]

leafeon my lov

[ionic crescent]

Damn that's some good luck

[ionic crescent]

😔

[worn solstice]

oof

[distant portal]

Wonder pick

[worn solstice]

67/69 on eevee grove, EXs as always

[distant portal]

[ionic crescent]

Hits from the new set

Rates seem good

Each picture was 5 packs

[distant portal]

good hits

i got 2 special arts from 2 binder collections

1 full art

3 ex cards

[worn solstice]

got a cat pack wtf

also LETS GOOOOOOO

[ionic crescent]

every battle im reminded of how much pocket tcg battle sucks i had 3 games where i all my evolutions/rare candies were the very last cards of the deck and i lost except for one where i top decked my stage 2 just in time 😭

pocket tcg is so rng and it doesnt help that mulligan isnt a thing in this

[whole jacinth]

Yeah I get you it's very tilting especially when you are trying to climb to ultra/master ball. I just gave up on it altogether, it was more stress than actually trying.

[worn solstice]

ive still never even tried to battle

i just go the vs AI ones and put auto on if theres challenges to complete

[whole jacinth]

If you feel like stressing out, you can try versus battles

It's either you brick your hand always, lost because you came first, or just flipped tails

I'm about 3.5 sets behind solo battles - gonna take me a while to catch up and I'm too lazy

[worn solstice]

nah i just enjoy my 2 pack openings a day and RNG on a wonder pick I know battling isnt as much for me

[whole jacinth]

true, it's better that way

1-1.5 weeks from next set

[ionic crescent]

Yeah im done with eevee set

No full art eeveelution EXs but oh well

[worn solstice]

lucker

i need 2 more normal EXs and 3 full arts I think

I really want the eeveelution board

[ionic crescent]

well not done, i dont have the base eevee EX, just the immersive

crazy i got the immersive before the regular 😭 so 68/69

these cards look sick

[distant portal]

That gardevoir

[worn solstice]

double ex pack nice

only 1 more to go to complete base set

[worn solstice]

do you have spare flareon EX by any chance?

that was my second Eevee EX

[ionic crescent]

Yeah i have 4

[worn solstice]

wanna trade?

[ionic crescent]

Yeah I'll send the req

[worn solstice]

wooooo

[ionic crescent]

Wait it's the new set

[worn solstice]

oh

yeah

[ionic crescent]

So can't until the next one

[worn solstice]

we're dumb

all good all good

[ionic crescent]

I'll remember when next one drops

[worn solstice]

same

just need umbreon and jolteon full arts now

[ionic crescent]

Also got an extra Jolteon

[worn solstice]

oh can we trade full arts? I thought we couldn't

[ionic crescent]

yeah, anything 1 star and under

[pure elm]

aha found the tcg pocket chat

[worn solstice]

ohhh TIL

[ionic crescent]

trading system will be reworked tho

since the current one is so bad

id wait until then

[worn solstice]

okokok

yeah theres only 3 cards i want to finish this set

umbreon jolteon full arts and the flareon ex

[distant portal]

i got all

except a few ex cards

[pure elm]

anyone got an extra guzzlord ex lying around to trade?

[worn solstice]

only got 1 sadly

[ionic crescent]

i would trade but i need the eevee ex

and its new set

oh yeah im also trading flareon for it later nvm

[pure elm]

rip

i got 2 accounts and my alt got the 2star rarity guzz ex so i couldn't trade it to my main to play

[distant portal]

https://youtu.be/RzaOiArrYfE

[worn solstice]

If anyone has Full Art Umbreon and/or Full Art Jolteon spares, I can offer Leafeon/Flareon/Glaceon/Espeon/Eevee for trade

(this is Eevee Grove set)

I ended up with 5 Glaceons, 4 Espeons and 0 Umbreon or Jolteon

[pure elm]

I could do it for an eevee

you could decide later if you want umbreon or jolteon, since you could still maybe make a trade for either

(I also need a Vaporeon full art, if anyone has a spare)

[whole jacinth]

my full art luck this set is so bad - I'm missing my 2 favourite eeveelutions - umbreon and espeon lol

I think I may have vaporeon, I'll check later

[pure elm]

i hate the shinies man, bloats the set for me

especially since they're old cards and isn't meta anymore

[whole jacinth]

yeah that's true - at least make it tradable as it seems they will always add shinies to sets

i got like 2 zapdos 2 moltres in this set

no articuno (the only one you can argue can still be played)

[pure elm]

collectors go crazy though so business wise yeah man get your bread lmao

[whole jacinth]

oh god it's 2 packs - I thought it was just 1 pack for new update

gonna be a pain again to collect these

[pure elm]

yep no first pack magic for me too

[whole jacinth]

my 1st 10 pack for lugia had the 2 stars shuckle and lanturn

trying my luck on ho-oh

[pure elm]

got lucky with wonder pick though

[whole jacinth]

damn

what

i think i got a 6 pack lol

flopped with ho-oh

this will be pain

I did see some leaks with a 6 card pack, turns out it's true afterall

I got 0 ex on my 2 10 pulls

sounds fun

[pure elm]

oooh first time i see that, rng on top of rng

[whole jacinth]

yeah

my guess is it would be for baby pokemon?

maybe coincidence

but idk

@pure elm you play ranked right? if the regular TCG is to follow, it means baby pokemon might be game changing

they have 0 energy costs

will be interesting to maybe go back to ranked with this

(for one day lol)

smoochum one shot that pesky giratina

[pure elm]

yeah but feels like the game is fast right now that enemy turn 2 is just gonna get a point from sniping the baby mon

[whole jacinth]

more a surprise attack potentially

i want the new trainer cards but flopped

oh i have 1 more 10 pull

try again

oh got cleffa too nice

[pure elm]

I normally wait for like a week before i open 10 packs since i check the meta on which pack to open lol

[whole jacinth]

true

i think the 'new' leaf is good though

i want that one

kinda flopping though

yep didn't get it either lol

doomed

i can confirm 6 pack is for baby pokemon

got 3 baby now

[pure elm]

think pichu the best turn 1 at least. can ramp up a pikachu EX genetic apex to attack turn 3

oh yeah finally gen 2 starters full arts

[whole jacinth]

oh yeah I got a vaporeon if you still need - need either umbreon or espeon whichever you have an extra of. Otherwise, I can just pick another pretty looking card lol

[pure elm]

I could do the umbreon, could only trade the hangul copy rn though, didn't bring my other phone with me

[ionic crescent]

10 packs and only a shiny lickytung ex

😭

[worn solstice]

do you have a spare jolteon?

[whole jacinth]

I only got 1 sorry

[whole jacinth]

yeah works for me! don't really care about language it's on. I think I don't have you as friend I'm not sure but my ID is kotone-chan

2626837532946154

[pure elm]

added you

[pure elm]

i could do the trade rn for an Eevee if you don't care abt hangul, or later in like 5-6hrs on my other acct if you want an english one

[whole jacinth]

trade req sent, ty

[pure elm]

lol i was going for the trade request and you already made one

[whole jacinth]

블래키 bless

[worn solstice]

i think id prefer english if thats okay as its for binder

@ionic crescent can we do the ex trade today?

[worn solstice]

God pack!!!

new art coming soon feelsbad though hahaa

[whole jacinth]

whoa

that's cool

[worn solstice]

why wasnt the card ready for release day

[whole jacinth]

they got issues with the illustration

[worn solstice]

rip

[whole jacinth]

had some plagiarism thing found via datamining

glad they even addressed it tbh

and this fast

[distant portal]

Yea due to copyright

They used fanart from a dude back in 2021

[worn solstice]

@ionic crescent lmk if we can still do the EX trade

[ionic crescent]

Yeah i can do it, flareon was it?

[pure elm]

I have one if you have a spare espeon

[worn solstice]

[worn solstice]

[pure elm]

[whole jacinth]

[worn solstice]

yeppp

[pure elm]

wth bugged 🥁 pack

extremely lucky or cursed or both

[worn solstice]

thats one of the best cards ive ever seeeeeen

[ionic crescent]

Integrated my kpop photocards into my pokemon binder

[distant portal]

Bought these

[ionic crescent]

woah nice lillie

[worn solstice]

very cool idea this is great

[worn solstice]

wooo

[whole jacinth]

Got the lugia from your pack connor

Thank you

[worn solstice]

lets gooooooooooo

[worn solstice]

these extra cards always throw me off haha

[whole jacinth]

Wow first time ever in this event, got all the promos and 2x blissey ex in just the 4 battles from beginner to expert

[distant portal]

i got 2x Kingdra ex

if anyone wants when next packs arrive

[ionic crescent]

I've opened 40 packs and only 1 ex

It's so bad

[distant portal]

i hope in the game and not irl

[ionic crescent]

It's the same in both unfortunately

[distant portal]

dang

to be fair

pullrates have always been shit

i find it kinda interesting how there are so many cool art cards and yet you barely pull any

151 had great pull rates imo

[ionic crescent]

151 didn't treat me well either 😔

[distant portal]

My roaring skies pack arrived

Now i got the big 3

And Primal Clash full set

[worn solstice]

got the ho oh not the lugia

[distant portal]

i got none :D

[ionic crescent]

same 😭

50 packs and only 1 normal EX

[pure elm]

1st god pack, been playing since launch

[distant portal]

Best 10 pack i ever opened or so

[pure elm]

lucky day today maybe i should spend hourglasses

[worn solstice]

gz gz gz

im saving for the smaller sets again

i never complete these bigger ones

[pure elm]

yeh i have yet to open 10 packs since there arent really meta breaking pulls needed so far

[pure elm]

anyone got an extra zeraora?

[worn solstice]

only 1 sadly

[distant portal]

depends what set

[pure elm]

its tcg pocket btw, and yup only 1 has been released so far and is in extradimensional crisis

[distant portal]

ah ok, i can check later after work

[whole jacinth]

If you still need, I gotchu 👍

Just send a trade for any card - ign is kotone

[pure elm]

fire just sent the korean moltres

[distant portal]

gonna send these in for grading later

[ionic crescent]

ooh good luck

[distant portal]

ty ty

[distant portal]

apparently this is a leaked art card from the upcoming Zard mega set

[ionic crescent]

It's complete

[worn solstice]

hahahah congrats!!

[pure elm]

lmao boba eyes staring into your soul

[ionic crescent]

320/320

[pure elm]

wug

[distant portal]

crazy

i need/want more Rayquaza's

and cards from Cosmic Eclipse

this one more exactly

[ionic crescent]

ooh thats a cool card, its pretty expensive iirc?

holy moly near mint is 420 USD on tcgplayer

[distant portal]

Yea

it's not cheap..

[whole jacinth]

New pokemon pocket mini set soon and I'm still at 148/161 on current set

It's doomed for me

Shuckle and ho-oh ex missing, rest are 3 stars

[worn solstice]

oof

[pure elm]

i'm at 108/161 can't find my 2nd ho-oh so im still not opening lugia packs

just wanna play ho-oh snorlax ex deck but DeNa won't let me

[worn solstice]

I never end up finishing these bigger sets

[whole jacinth]

the dedication

just open lugia now and trade for ho-oh later on

[pure elm]

yeah could always trade lol

i mean i only used hourglasses on about 30 packs so it's understandable

really no meta breaking cards from this set so just chilling

[whole jacinth]

i wanted to build a deck with pichu but by the time I got my first one, I already lost motivation (again) to try it on battles

think I only got my 1st one like last week

[pure elm]

i have like 4 full art pichu on my alt and have 0 of the 3 diamond rarity rng is crazy

[ionic crescent]

same ive only gotten 5 EXx from the set and im 80 packs in

no immersives no 2* or anything either 😭

[worn solstice]

I have 2 spare lugia and 1 spare skarmory if anyone can help me with my missing

[pure elm]

i have crobat and umbreon, lemme get one of each

[worn solstice]

reserved

[worn solstice]

o new set is today

alright 10 packs let's gooo

thay was not a good start

[distant portal]

same

[whole jacinth]

I didn't even have enough for 10 LOL

this looks crazy though from my 1 5-pull

10 40 70 100 damage? wtf

cursed game

got shiny chimchar and gible

so bad

oh immersive suicune

i'm happy now

[distant portal]

[whole jacinth]

I need to do all these solo missions

but I'm so lazy

[ionic crescent]

i uninstalled 😔

the no hits ruined my game experience 😔

[distant portal]

welcome to rng

the most hated thing

reason i quit genshin

[ionic crescent]

at least with genshin theres a pity system, pocket tcg just gives me 5 commons for 50 packs in a row

[distant portal]

yea true

[ionic crescent]

either way both bad and I no longer play either

[distant portal]

🤝

yea like 2 sets ago i was also on the brink of deleting the pocket app

i might do it soon idk yet, i'm barely on it and opening a pack once every 12 hours is dreading, such a grind aswell to then open stuff and be like "pff"

[pure elm]

i hate this game man, 3 yamper full arts in 10 packs lmao

[distant portal]

dang

[pure elm]

suffering from success idk haha

had this with heracross from last set

[worn solstice]

@pure elm is your wishlist up to date?

one of the cards you want i have like 6 of

[pure elm]

uhhi dont think so, sometimes i just wishlist the highest rarity card on a wonder pick for good luck lmao

then i forget to unwishlist it

thanks for the skarmory lugia trades btw 🫡

[worn solstice]

ohhhh gotcha

and no worries thanks for trades!

1 ex away now

[distant portal]

Wonder picked the tapu koko ex

[distant portal]

[worn solstice]

some for profit some i sell to my friends for rrp

because they're collectors

[distant portal]

ah okki

[worn solstice]

and i feel bad that botters take all of them hahaha

[distant portal]

yea i'm gonna see if i can get a booster box and premium collection box

of this set

[worn solstice]

nice

stuff outside of pkc exclusives are sort of easy to get now

but the pkc ones are crazy

[distant portal]

yea

tbf

i can't get my hands on a booster box

my local store does do pre orders for ETB's and hopefully the premium box but they get barely stock

and they never sell sealed booster boxes

[worn solstice]

so annoying

[ionic crescent]

its rough for EU people 😔

and yeah i saw the whole bot thing yesterday too hope all those accounts/ip addresses/cards get blacklisted but probaly wont be happening

[worn solstice]

even if they did its all very easy to just get new info

[whole jacinth]

Tried ranked 3 times with suicune deck. All 3 matches with electric type decks

What is this

[pure elm]

deserved kek

think suicuine damage still clears, no?

electric decks need bench to ramp so suicune should at least have 80-100 damage everytime

[whole jacinth]

I played like 6/7 electric decks so far lmao

Won like 4?

[pure elm]

yeah thats not bad so far

[worn solstice]

how's secluded springs going for you guys?

[pure elm]

yo same. crazy i have like 4 milotic full arts and have yet to get the normal one

[worn solstice]

hahaha no way

this one?

[pure elm]

yupp and i think my other account still has a 1 diamond rarity missing

lol

[worn solstice]

oof hahaha

I can trade this when the time comes if you need

[whole jacinth]

Wow you are both luckier than me

I only got 63/71 so far

But at least no EX missing

[pure elm]

i'm missing poliwrath EX from both accounts

[worn solstice]

only EX im missing is suicune

[shut ridge]

very tempted to grade my sylveon VMAX from CS4aC 171.. it goes for around 200 bucks ungraded, but since its the chinese version i have no clue how mcuh itll be worth if i happen to get a 10

ok nvm around 4-500 very very tempted icl

still wanna grade van gogh pika as well

[worn solstice]

let's gooooo

first set ever im not missing ex at the end, just some of the 3 diamond cards

[pure elm]

finished my set yesterday too, got the milotic and mantyke in wonder pick crazy

[worn solstice]

[worn solstice]

they come with a yugioh card of the shoes because joey wears em

[shut ridge]

[shut ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-me-faltan-momos-isaac-gif-12423919277285763661

[worn solstice]

does anyone have the 3 diamond Azurill from the newest set? #63

It's the last card I need but i will literally never find it at this rate

[pure elm]

i have one if you don't manage to pull it 'til next set

[worn solstice]

woooooooo

tytyty

i might end up with it but its peace of mind knowing i dont HAVE to find it

[whole jacinth]

Didn't even give me the chance to react lol

Also got the immersive pikachu - I think already done with this set lol

[pure elm]

crazy 1st pack magic

idk maybe i'll try a 10 pull too

[worn solstice]

o is the new set out?

wait 4 per pack?

oh is this like a special set

[pure elm]

yeah will last a month, sure ex card per pack, but all cards are jsut reprints and new arts

[worn solstice]

i see i see

might as well spend my hourglasses on it

damn no full arts in first 10

[pure elm]

i'm probably just gonna wait til last day if i don't get any crazy pulls from the daily packs

[worn solstice]

thats fair

as i only collect and dont battle ive been getting kinda burnt out recentyly anyway

so this is a fun thing to open

[pure elm]

also, thanks jay

[pure elm]

yeah kinda crazy its a whole new set to finish too, 360 cards and limited

[worn solstice]

right last 10 cmon cmon

yeah its massive

rare candy woo

WOOOO

[pure elm]

hope they finally make higher rarity cards tradeable in the future

[worn solstice]

i love this full art design

[pure elm]

the peer pressure making me want to 10 pull

[worn solstice]

[pure elm]

yeah the 2 star cards are cool. slamming people with the solgaleo

[worn solstice]

hahaha

i think by the time the month ends i'll be able to do another 10

[pure elm]

new solo battles if you do those, free hourglasses

[worn solstice]

oh stonks

[worn solstice]

got some crazy lucky pulls

[worn solstice]

attack on titan floragato

[whole jacinth]

Lillie best girl

Be on the look out for wonder picks from me lol

[pure elm]

i'll tell you when i get the 2 pack hourglasses

[whole jacinth]

I still do want prof oak too

that greninja ruining my god pack

I have 3 lillie immersives now these 2 full arts

need 2 copies of the past full arts for balance :copium:

[worn solstice]

just realised i havent opened tcgp for a few days

[ionic crescent]

It's liberating fr

[worn solstice]

grabbed at comic con

[distant portal]

@errant wasp LOOK AT THESEEEEEEEEEE

[errant wasp]

THESE ARE SOOOO GOOOOOD @distant portal

god that iroh card

what a great design ugh

[distant portal]

gonna buy the prerelease boxes

love these card arts so much

[distant portal]

THERE ARE CONNECTED ARTS

[errant wasp]

COOOOL

[pure elm]

yooo thanks jay, can't send back though haha

DeNa made it so you can only receive once per day 😔

[whole jacinth]

All goods. Just gonna keep sending whatever

That share feature is quite nice

[whole jacinth]

anyone down to trade 2 stars in here? lol

I don't exactly need 2 mallow and barry so just want more trainer cards

[pure elm]

checked my accounts and apparently I have 40 and 34 two star cards each, and the only dupes I have are Raikou and Solgaleo Exs

also crazy 25000 cost for a trade

[whole jacinth]

damn

yeah 25k is high, but got nothing else to use the shinedust on

I kinda want some rainbow rares too but it's looking like a pain to trade in general

everybody just looking for meta trainers

[pure elm]

the Oak 2:1 trades are crazy looool

yup idk if you're just looking for a specific card maybe I can check

I have 270k shinedust. thinking about it, its just about 10 two star trades lmao

can't even happily swap between my accounts

[whole jacinth]

I wanted the bird trio but there's too many of them

and I didn't realise this set also has them too

pulled this bad boy today - maybe he'd be in wonder pick

[worn solstice]

where do you guys buy single cards from? Is eBay good?

[ionic crescent]

ebay is decent, gotta watch out for certain sellers with their reviews and pics, also you can lowball them (as i like to do)

but i just get them from local shops or card shows mostly

[distant portal]

Cardmarket

[worn solstice]

id like a local shop but dont have any

[worn solstice]

I was checking here but it seems more europe focused, not many UK sellers

[distant portal]

yea kinda, there are UK sellers tho, just depends heavily what ur looking for

also i think personally that cardmarket is better then ebay

[worn solstice]

found a store 20 minute drive away so gonna see if they have one piece/riftbound

[worn solstice]

one piece

gonna try collect a bit more

hunting for my first grail

[distant portal]

nice nice

i'm gonna focus on Avatar MTG atm

[worn solstice]

niceeee

its so annoying you dont live in uk

i have all the links for pre orders

[distant portal]

[distant portal]

[worn solstice]

whats this the list of?

[distant portal]

MTG avatar

cards i bought

[worn solstice]

ohhh sick

[distant portal]

this ones so sick

[worn solstice]

yeah awesome

i need to see what i have on pre order

[distant portal]

thank god magic isn't that down bad like pokemon dude

in pricings

seen the neon ink cards going for 2k+

but i might quit pokemon a bit, only focussing on completing the B&W set

[worn solstice]

yeah pokemon in a weird spot

one piece is still sorta fine

im buying this

[distant portal]

holy shit that looks cool

[worn solstice]

so good right

theres a set of these style

[distant portal]

yea i know nothing of one piece so

[worn solstice]

the artwork for their tcg is amazing

[distant portal]

whats the price of that one

[worn solstice]

jp 50~ eng 100~

[distant portal]

£100 for eng?

[worn solstice]

yeah

[distant portal]

dang

[worn solstice]

yeahhh

im looking at jp

[distant portal]

that's like highest rarity or

[worn solstice]

ish

they have manga cards which are the rarest

[distant portal]

ah okki

[worn solstice]

which look like this

this is one of the cheapest mangas at like 300-400 gbp

but some are thousands

[distant portal]

dang

yea prices are crazy

like i seen the rare cards that are playable from avatar for like €75

which is also quite steep imo

but it is foil

so holo

i need my shiny cardboard

[worn solstice]

so cool

my etbs are being delivered today

[distant portal]

dang lucky

not opening em right?

[worn solstice]

dont think so

i bought 4 normal ones today

maybe one of those

[distant portal]

lmao

my normal one i gotta pick up tomorrow

my parents gonna try for the UPC box in another store i know

[worn solstice]

nice nice

[distant portal]

🙏

[worn solstice]

oh yeah i got charged for UPC today

so 2 incoming

[distant portal]

nice nice

[worn solstice]

i might hold them for 10 years hten buy a house

[distant portal]

i just want that playmat

[worn solstice]

yeah its very cool

im sure people will sell separate

[distant portal]

yea probably

idk, pokemon i'm kinda done with again to a degree

new sets is just gamble galore, barely any hits, wanna buy singles? you are overpaying so much

[worn solstice]

trueee

[distant portal]

i like doing deals etc it's fun

but a moneysink that i don't like

gonna see to sell my gyarados mega once it's graded at beckett for some cash and see if i can manage to use that cash for more B&W cards for my set. Right now i'll refrain from buying cards of B&W, wanna focus more on the Avatar set now a bit

[worn solstice]

yeah nice

at least some retain value

so you can sell if you need

[distant portal]

yup

[worn solstice]

5k euros btw

lowest offer

[distant portal]

yea that one i know was the "base set" chase

[worn solstice]

this was set 5

hahaha

[distant portal]

oh

[worn solstice]

but it was when it took off

[distant portal]

i remember seeing that card a lot

[worn solstice]

this was base set chase

newest set has red manga

[distant portal]

ohhh okki

i prefer the white ngl

[worn solstice]

yeah the white is clean

[distant portal]

fuck, if i'll begin collecting MTG avatar i'll need another binder

got 2 4-pocket ones, 1 9-pocket otw for my B&W set

[worn solstice]

at least binders are cheap

i need to redo mine

and buy a smaller one

[distant portal]

not the ones i'm buying

Vault X

can't go back to another binder

[worn solstice]

oh i didnt think it was too expensive

i bought a big vaultx one

[distant portal]

oh dang

yea idk how to organise mine well enough

[worn solstice]

think i bought at a convention

i have some cards to sort actually

ty for reminding haha

[distant portal]

haha

Smol: Yves
Smol: Lip
Smol: Pokemon bs
Big: B&W set + Base set 2
Big: Avatar set MTG

---

i got these atm

idk if i should get another Big one for Avatar now

all takes up so much space aswell

don't wanna sit with a binder i might not use

can fit my Base set 2 + b&w in one big one

can use one small then for lippie

[worn solstice]

yeah maybe merge the pokes

[distant portal]

Mhm if i can

[worn solstice]

pog

[distant portal]

dayum

[worn solstice]

then i think 3 more ETBs at different houses

so i need to go and collect them all (good pun)

[distant portal]

3 houses?

jesus

[worn solstice]

yah

not my houses i sent them to friends/family

i dont even own 1 house

[distant portal]

huh, i thought you bought a house like 2y ago or so

[worn solstice]

just renting

[distant portal]

ohhh ok

[ionic crescent]

Dang i missed the upc unfortunately

But I'm just going to buy the promos straight up

[worn solstice]

noice

the market for resell for these isnt actually looking amazing so it might not be too hard to pick stuff up for RRP/close to it

[ionic crescent]

Yeah I want the jp oricorio though but Ill also wait a bit to go down more

[worn solstice]

for sure

@distant portal i found this on pre order

[distant portal]

ngl that's expensiveeeeee

[worn solstice]

yeah

its the most expensive thing you can buy

[distant portal]

yea it is

[worn solstice]

need to decide if i keep or not

i think they ship next week

[distant portal]

is my birthday soon, hint hint

[worn solstice]

[worn solstice]

ok bought a box of the new one piece to open

tcg hobby is back

[distant portal]

Niceu

[worn solstice]

LETS GOOOOO

[distant portal]

i'm so happy i got the UPC

random at 8pm a text message they secured one for me, my LCS is goated

[worn solstice]

so good

i think i have 4 PKC ETB 4 normal ETB 1 booster box 2 booster bundle and 2 UPC

much better than i usually do on releases tbh

[distant portal]

dang

must have cost a lot

since the prices are nuts

but ig you see it as an investment partially

[worn solstice]

yeah

im gonna make money so it doesnt feel as bad

and then i fund my one piece card buying

[worn solstice]

about 1k euros

[distant portal]

dang

also

i neeeeeeeed

[distant portal]

yea i hope my gyarados is black label or a 10 at minimum

that's my "money" way to get something back

[worn solstice]

gl gl

yeah makes sense

[distant portal]

centering is amazing, no corner dmg nothing, edges same thing and no whitening at the back, surface also looks clean

like it fr has a chance at least

[worn solstice]

would be so good

[distant portal]

if it get black label i got the 3rd black label in the world btw

estimated at 8k

[worn solstice]

jesusss

thatd be insane

[distant portal]

yea not gonna jinx it

i know it'll get a 10

but since BGS is so strict, might end up with a 9.5

[worn solstice]

yeah theyre super strict

i really want some one piece slabs

i have some cool cards but im so bad at knowing how well theyd grade

[distant portal]

idk anything about one piece so, can't help really

[worn solstice]

yeah hahah

my eyes arent good enough to know about card quality

[distant portal]

but it's mostly centering and whitening at the edges

at least that's the issue in pokemon most of the time

[worn solstice]

these luffys sell for 100ish raw

on ebay atm

and i pulled this one

so could be a good grade if it looks good

the rayleigh is a cool one i pulled too but not as expensive

[distant portal]

i can tell that left card is a little off center

judging from the space left to right on the text box

i just found out MTG has a thing that lets you buy the full card list dangit if i knew that

[worn solstice]

[distant portal]

yea that card gets a 9 at best

if ur lucky a 10

since PSA is forgiving in that if the card is 45/55

there are online tool that can help to check centering fyi

fuck my wallet bro holy shitttttttttttttttttttt

[worn solstice]

oh nice i'll check this out

that Iroh one is sick

did you ever see my ATLA tattoos btw

hahaha

[distant portal]

i did yea haha

[worn solstice]

[distant portal]

i'm gonna get the koi fish ones

soon

[worn solstice]
