void mountain
I didn’t know a patch of grass could spawn him
toxic pilot
no but like here’s my rocky ridges set up, because I’m doing so much work in the area I actually have more chests here than other areas lol
Until you finish finish an area, keep chests in an area, it’s more convenient
toxic pilot
Ive got my inventory set up like this rn. Keeping materials handy so I can craft on a whim, and food so I can feed hungry pokemon or cook on a whim as well
Realistically I don’t need anywhere near that much food on hand but I’m lazy and I don’t want to go to 5 different areas to distribute it evenly
void mountain
Ok I built a little storage area, now waiting on lumber so I can make signs to label it. Super basic, but the inner two are for materials (since they’re touching), one is gonna be for blocks, maybe the other furniture, another for plants/food idk. also ignore that the pics are taken from my phone lol, faster than getting them from my switch
it’s next to my house for easy access. i will expand it at some point but for now this is enough

cuuute

that's so smart

I think its funny that I had enough cds to warrant a cd one

Looking back on this and wow I haven't seen like half of that stuff
cold sky
I think its funny that I had enough cds to warrant a cd one
there's so many cds, and some cds have multiple versions of the song on them it's cool
my favorite tracks are the ones with an inner black and white ring

twin delta
changed mine ever so slightly but they still don’t have a sprite for the other mega absol 😔
turbid wyvern
I wanna know this bidoof story
twin delta
shiny bidoof story is a tale of loss and success
loss in the sense that I lost 2 shinies before finding that shiny bidoof, success in that it was my first caught shiny and my third seen random shiny
turbid wyvern
Yeah

What did paras do to you 
mellow lagoon
Everything.

paras to me looks like an old hot rod lol
mellow lagoon
Mf is agro as shit

Nearly done with rocky ridges! Just need to fix up the museum now, and maybe get rid of all the ash on the map if I feel up to it
Also need more mountain flowers but that’s besides the point lol
mellow lagoon
I was so hoping a pokemon would just come zoomin on the railroad
toxic pilot
lol I’ve got the stops at the crossings to prevent that
No hit and runs unless I get to do it

Maybe some of you guys know about switches
The chage icon wont show, will it no longer hold a charge?? Im genuinely so upset, I was JUST about to transfer all of my data over to the switch 2...
Will getting my old dock help or is it done for

is this your switch 1 or switch 2?
cold sky
It did this a few minutes ago
take the error code to the website
it'll give you support better than any of us
toxic pilot
Try leaving it on the charger for a bit then powering.
foggy plank
Its straight up not taking to the charger
Like no charge is going through to it
This pisses me off so bad because I was going to move everything to the switch 2 tomorrow, just for me to lose everything as im about to move
Is pokemon data on the memory card??? Im gonna try to inialize in recovery mode..
buoyant oasis
is there anywhere u can take it to get it fixed
foggy plank
Its midnight
buoyant oasis
well yes but like does it need to be right now
foggy plank
Yeah, im just panicking
buoyant oasis
ah yea understandable tho, has ur switch had troubles with charging ever before?
foggy plank
Literal years of work and everything is on the verge of just being gone
Just like that
buoyant oasis
I know for one of my 3DS it would only charge if the charger was held with pressure at a weird angle do u know if anything like that could work rn
mellow lagoon
Maybe put it in the dock itself to charge?
buoyant oasis
yea I’d say ar least try the dock first
mellow lagoon
Cause when mine would go DEAD DEAD the regular cable wasnt enough and itd need the dock itself for more watts to come through
buoyant oasis
do u know where u have ur dock
foggy plank
Nope
Parents are asleep my dad has it somewhere i don't know
I dont have a tv lol, never could use it
mellow lagoon
R u using a regular switch cable?
buoyant oasis
ok u might have to just wait til the morning
foggy plank
R u using a regular switch cable?
Its what im using
Its not an issue with the cord, it works
mellow lagoon
Whats the cable plugged into possibly? Outlet or a multi use power surge?
If its a multi power surge it may be short circuiting it someway
But if not then im not too sure
Maybe leave it plugged in over night and try not to panic
In the morning see where the actual dock is and have it plugged in through that if it still doesnt charge overnight
If the dock also doesnt work the battery itself may be shot
buoyant oasis
what would u do then
foggy plank
Run it over
buoyant oasis
🚙
foggy plank
Is pokemon data saved in the SD card??
mellow lagoon
If saved the sd card directly yes
But usually all data is saved to the switch first before the sd card
Sd cards are usually extra external saving once the actual system is full
foggy plank
The internal SD is extra full
mellow lagoon
what would u do then
Only real option is taking it to a shop to see what's wrong tbh
mellow lagoon
The internal SD is extra full
Then most likely its on the sd card in ur switch if saved there
foggy plank
The question is
Can I even move my switch online account onto my older switch?
Or do i need to transfer user data
mellow lagoon
I dont think u have too
Thats something youd have to look up urself cause thats the one thing i do not know
foggy plank
im just gonna try and take it to a shop and see
mellow lagoon
Well at least try the first two things i suggested first
It may not be lost but just to the point the battery needs time to catch up and charge
foggy plank
What were they
mellow lagoon
In the morning see where the actual dock is and have it plugged in through that ...
^
Leave it plugged in overnight to see if itll charge
foggy plank
I believe its a battery thing
mellow lagoon
In the mornin find the dock and see if thatll work
foggy plank
The dock is just another usb
mellow lagoon
I know but a more powerful one
Its made to charge the switch faster
It has more watts going to it than the cable itself
foggy plank
Yea
Well whatever, well see
If everything is gone then in a wonderful turn of events that means literally all I have left of any Pokémon game is the completed paldea pokedex and thats it
Bc thats all I put in home
And if thats what ive got im quitting pokemon, this is a catastrophic loss
mellow lagoon
Well now I wouldn't quit, yes it sucks and its a horrible thing to happen, but i wouldnt quit the games you love cause of a set back, that isnt progressive thinking or will help you if something happens again, like i said, it doesnt hurt to try the methods ive said, ive had battery scares myself
And if all else fails, take it to a shop, see what they say
foggy plank
Well now I wouldn't quit, yes it sucks and its a horrible thing to happen, but i...
Its just the excessively poor experience that will drive me away
Like I had so much effort, literally years of my life dedicated, all leading up to a grand nothing
Whatever
cold sky
This pisses me off so bad because I was going to move everything to the switch 2...
keep it plugged into the dock and go to bed
deal with it tomorrow
if anythign call nintendo

I was on the hunt for obstagoon but I found the toxtricity instead and I was like oh hell yes
and another card for my (small) latias collection
twin delta
it’s such a good absol 🤧
I mainly went in looking for mega absol and the ir deino so I’m happy
they had a super cheap espeon ex full art but it had a huge crease straight down the middle of it :’)

twin delta
I need them to come out with a mega absol z card so bad
foggy plank
As an update to what happened yesterday
Its staying off the charger, I noticed this back plate looks a little more pushed outward in the middle compared to the sides
You can see it best right above that vent
foggy plank
Lmao yea
mellow lagoon
That means the battery is probably snapped or out of place
reef bane
Could be your battery is expanding and giving out. Had that happen to my original 3ds
mellow lagoon
That too

Thats exactly what I think it is
mellow lagoon
New battery is all it needs then
reef bane
I would open it and check because that could be a real issue.
mellow lagoon
just put it somewhere else so that if the slim chance the battery does explode you dont get hurt
reef bane
I’m not positive but I think opening it is just a lot of unscrewing. Replacing the battery..idk. I’m sure there’s a tutorial online LOL.
foggy plank

Ofc, its not nearly that bad
Im gonna just take it to a shop if I can find one, I do not know anything about the specifics on a switch's battery type, or how specific it is
Biggest concern is if its like.. specialized.
In a way that a random tech shop cant fix without a specific part
Chat is this normal 💀
Its not on the edge of the box btw, that end is lifted up haha
mellow lagoon
That is not normal dawg

call nintendo
if your battery is pillowing that's dangerous
see if they can do a repair
it's not going to hold a charge

glacial wadi
Tried to get a Flareon full art that was $5 but there was a $5 minimum card fee so... Had to skip it
twin delta
oh yea my local card shop also has a $4 minimum
mellow lagoon
WHY DO YA GOTTA PAY A FEE??
twin delta
you don’t lol
you just need to buy at least $4 of stuff
unless I’m misinterpreting what itemdragon is saying
mellow lagoon
you just need to buy at least $4 of stuff
I hope its that cause that sounds better
And not shelling out an extra five for a fuckin card
twin delta
yea if it was an extra 5 I would walk out LOL
void mountain
I successfully got all pokopia jump rope prizes yay
glacial wadi
The card is $5 but it would be $10 after card because of the fee
twin delta
oh that’s wack
glacial wadi
But that's for everything in that antique shop I guess?
twin delta
nah my card store doesn’t do that
twin delta
ahh that makes more sense but still wack
glacial wadi
They had a huge latios or latias ex card tho
twin delta
show show 👀
twin delta
glacial wadi
Mega latios or latias I mean that's why I said either because I can't tell the difference 😭
glacial wadi
Yeah
glacial wadi
A lot of them were in japanese actually, Flareon included
twin delta
they haven’t done mega latios yet this time around
yea Japanese cards are generally cheaper than their English counterpart
did it look like this?
glacial wadi
There was one box, it was the Complete Order one for $100
Maybe? I didn't really pay much attention but it was a lot of shiny yellow it looked like
Might've been looking like it was rocketing out from the right side
glacial wadi
This I think actually
twin delta
for $10???
toxic pilot
yea Japanese cards are generally cheaper than their English counterpart
That’s because Japanese booster boxes have to have guaranteed rare cards at a minimum because of Japanese gambling laws lol
twin delta
that’s a rip off
glacial wadi
Lmao really is it cheap
twin delta
way cheaper than 10 that’s for sure
glacial wadi
That's crazy tbh 😭
toxic pilot
Honestly that card looks kinda like shit compared to other recent cards
Not even kinda tbh
10 dollars for that???
glacial wadi
They were selling an Espeon one for $35 actually
Espeon with all of the typings on its head like a crown or something
twin delta
that’s a regular ex, not even the full art, and it’s a promo which makes it more common so yea no it’s not worth $10
glacial wadi
First one
twin delta
ok that card is $20
toxic pilot
Yeah 3 bucks at most lol
toxic pilot
Yeahhh
twin delta
dragon if you’re ever trying to buy a card please ask this chat before so you don’t get scammed
or look on tcgplayer
glacial wadi
Sounds good, I honestly rarely even buy cards like that, just more to look at
toxic pilot
I don’t normally buy cards from antique stores unless I already know the price or have good enough cell service to actually check
twin delta
don’t ever buy the prismatic set in English unless you have a lot of money bc the sirs are way cheaper in Japanese
glacial wadi
Oh def
Sometimes my wallet speaks for me and I've ended up blowing too much on card packs but I'mma... Not do that anymore
twin delta
no I understand the allure of shiny cardboard all too well 
glacial wadi
Lmaooo
"Just cause you can doesn't mean you should" ends up being useful for everything you want to buy
I really only focus on gen 5 card packs though, still on the hunt for that sweet sweet Zekrom full art somewhere...
I have the Resh one currently
glacial wadi
Reshiram and N full art one yeee
twin delta
oh I have that one too :O!!
glacial wadi
It's so pretty!!
twin delta
really want the zekrom counterpart

Wow- not even a TCG pin?
Lol
twin delta

The pins and promo cards are the main reasons I buy cards
Now there are pretty much no pins 😭 can only think of 2 from prismatic evolutions and ascended heroes
twin delta
some of the pins, the primal groudon is not official but so good
heady elbow
The espeon/umbreon figure box and the French starters
twin delta
wait sorry the primal groudon is real, the other groudon isn’t
and then my dragonite pin
and some other fan pins

duskull is by starsalts and hydreigon is by mamobot I believe

Ok, i figured out what the word was

I just like the cards for the hobby, i don't have any expensive ones beyond maybe $20 at most that i opened myself

It’s so bad that even a small game store I used to frequent is leaning into it. They no longer sell cards at retail, they sell them at msrp.
Mind you they already have the ability to control how much people buy. They just chose to get extra profit and be scummy.

that's fucked
I thikn collecting pokemon boosters as an investment is fucking stupid
literally do a CD or a buy a bond
or something literally guarenteed to make you money
instead of some collectors hording shit
If you do anything for the pure idea of making money you're a fucking sucker
but i get it if your brother is like 17
or barely 20
like it's dumb child logic
you should be doing something because you like it
i have a 950 dollar pokemon card but im not selling it
im looking at it and being like this is awesome
the slabs i have, my trainer psa 9s i have, i bought those because i like the cards
not because it might increase in value
i don't give a fuck about the value i paid what i thought was reasonable
turns out a full art trainer card costs like 15~40 dollars which if i bought that amount of packs I'd never get the one i wanted in those pulls
like yeah let me open 8 packs and get nothing because all of the fucking morons already dime weighed the pokemon cards to get the rares
vagrant marlin
but i get it if your brother is like 17
he’s younger than me actually 😭
cold sky
okay yeah
like i said
that's children's logic
but if he's a baby child then he doens't have the money to do it
He's in his ed edd and eddy phase

I do collect some sealed TCG boxes, but that’s just for myself. So I can have them to open in the future. No plans on ever selling them lol
cold sky
it's fine
yeah
that's fine
but if you're using them like you bought gold and are sitting on it as an investment
that's just stupid....
Like literally at that point buy gold
if you're investing in a collectable toy, buy something that will actually apreciate in value
heady elbow
I also did that before it was super popular to buy Pokemon center elite trainer boxes and keep them sealed lol. Really want to open my sv base set elite trainer box at some point
cold sky
i literally used to buy elite trainer boxes because they were the cheapest way to get 8 booster packs, but now it's like an uber scam because they're marked up from every fucking idiot doing that

imo i think collecting sealed is fine if it’s already something you’ve had for like 20 years

It’s so stupid

I don't necessarily have a problem with collecting sealed
The problem is the reselling of sealed
Collecting sealed for archival or display purposes isn't the problem
Or even collecting them to be resold to genuine collectors or people who want to open old product 2 decades later isn't necessary a problem

foggy plank
Preferably sold to a kid for them to open
heady elbow
Preferably sold to a kid for them to open
Sick
I save my cards to open in the future, and then they get expensive and I feel guilty opening them lol
Tbh I might sell my two 151 booster bundles and put that towards plushies. But that’s just bcs I don’t like 151 that much lol
And i’d just sell it for, like, 30-40 bucks or smth. Idk slightly more than I paid for them
I just bought them with the intent of trading for prismatic lol. Still really want a stellar Tera SIR, I don’t care what pokemon it is. Alolan exeggutor or galvantula would be sick
foggy plank
Preferably sold to a kid for them to open
Bc i think its stupid how nuts the prices are now, and if i sold it for a slightly higher price like that (i have a charizard super premium collection, i got it for like 40 dollars, i am gonna sell it for 50 when it hits an absurd price, so i will have 10 extra dollars to spend on like a cute IR) it would be kinda similar to what pricing used to be like buying older product

I hate them
it's literally that mindset that is poison
heady elbow
It kinda bugs me how even a lot of kids into the TCG just go “how much is this card worth” and sell them instantly. Idk, try trading lol
cold sky
it should only be worth something to you
foggy plank
Im genuinely so sad everything is so expensive now :((, like ive got money now I would've been getting so many etbs and like collecting the coins they come with and the promos 😭
foggy plank
it should only be worth something to you
Legitimately
heady elbow
Instead of just going to the store and then going “we’re not even gonna buy this from you it’s worth like 25 cents” for a wugtrio shiny illustration rare, right after the set came out
That set charged me 15 bucks for a mini tin too btw. Right when the set came out. And ppl were talking shit about paldean fates so much
It was so funny, bcs it was such a good set. Not even in hindsight, it was just a super fun set. Opened a few PC ETBs of it (the only ETBs I bought for the sv era, until they became impossible to get. I like the extra promo)
I actually went with ordering shrouded fable PC ETBS instead of prismatic evolutions and surging sparks pc etb preorders lol. Wanted that extra pecharunt. And it’s a BEAUTIFUL card, no regrets
Well. Maybe a few regrets. I should’ve ordered prismatic as well, went crazy trying to find it for my birthday and just couldn’t lol. But it’s ok
cold sky
i will never buy a pack of pokemon cards ever again
too much money and i don't want to gamble
if i could buy an etb for 30 dollars again, maybe
but it ain't happening
heady elbow
Sometimes I buy them when I see them in stores. And I still wait in Pokemon center queues for Pokemon center elite trainer boxes. But I only really buy for the promos honestly
That, and the prereleases. Love actually playing the game once in a while
It’s just not worth the time to go crazy trying to get cards. It’s cool to look at the artworks and try and play with friends, but also I’m so busy. And it’s not worth the time to try and get what’s just cardstock with silly guys that i like
Especially when my favorite card in a set is usually just a reverse holo or illustration rare of an unpopular and cute pokemon I really like, that I can just buy for a few bucks if I really want to
cold sky
i just buy the card because if i bought that many packs there's a literal 2% possibility i get it
i couLD get something better
but i also won't get what i want
15 dollars for 3 packs or 15 dollars for the card i want
heady elbow
I like gambling a little to get the random commons/uncommons. but, when almost every card you’re getting in a pack becomes a duplicate, then it’s just not worth it anymore
cold sky
i feel apathetic towards gambling
so im basically wasting money for no reason
i feel better getting what i want
heady elbow
For me, there really is a point when it’s worth it and a point when it isn’t. I could easily just look through a bulk bin and get them for cheaper though
cold sky
to each their own but i think gambling sucks ass
heady elbow
i feel better getting what i want
Real and fair!
heady elbow
to each their own but i think gambling sucks ass
Yeah true
cold sky
but yeah the real thing is that if you buy pokemon cards as an investment you're actually the stupidest mother fucker ever
and you should just invest in something that'll actually make you money instead of pieces of paper
people though baseball cards would do that shit, beanie babies, etc etc, and maybe there's ONE really expensive card, or even a handful, but it's worse than a slot machine
a slot machine has a 98% return (most of the time) a boosterpack doesn't
this is not endorsing gambling or slot machines, this is saying that using trading cards as an investment is worse than slotmachines
THAT BEING SAID
if you have fun pulling boosters
opening packs
buying and trading
that's the goal
that's the idea
but if money is on your mind you're dumb as fuck

buying the card you want yk
i see what you mean but like
cold sky
but the gamble
it's fine i'd rather smash all my fingers with a hammer
cold sky
there really are only 3 poipole cards
at least that means you could buy bulk easy
you can buy 16
mellow lagoon
just buy the cards you want
Thats kinda difficult when my main chase is over 800 dollars as a raw card......
Speaking of singles though i have a lot on the way :3
Got 2 dragonite cards on the way
Got some shroodles
And hopefully win a bid on a japanese Mega Dragonite Ryuno Glide card
hexed copper
i have some of the really old japanese pocket monsters cards
i have the expensive charizard that’s everyones chase
my uncle gave them to me
they’re in cases right now
i think one day ill get one graded

well ur in a bit of a pickle
if a card is more than 30 bucks i don't want it
and the one i said earlier is an older card that's very rare so you can't relaly pull for it
mellow lagoon
well ur in a bit of a pickle
I am cause its the mega dragonite sir from ascended heroes i rlly want :( its so pretty and dragonite is my fav
cold sky
yeah, luckily i just like trainer cards which is something a very few people apparently give a shit about
vagrant marlin
there really are only 3 poipole cards
yeah i wanna make a binder with them
i was thinking maybe like 50 of each
and then like reverse holos or different language ones if i come across them
toxic pilot
I just like the feeling of opening packs
As long as there’s something shiny within every couple I pull, regardless of value, I like it lol
If I’m looking for a specific cheaper card though I’ll def just buy it
cold sky
i only care about value in the idea that if i want one card is the possibility of it being in the amount it takes to buy it as a single viable
and 99.99% it's no
but if you're a rare hunter trying to get a 900 dollar card
then i get it
lyric barn
i love doing trades with people for cards personally. like making art, earrings or plushes for them in exchange for cards that may be of higher value, that's when i keep card value in mind :] it's fun
that's how i got my espurr card, i made my friend a plush for it
cold sky
yeah that's really fun
it's just not economicaly viable to open for a specific card
BUT if you wanna open to open then like
by all means
lyric barn
i mostly do it within my friend circle :]
cold sky
yeah!
lyric barn
so cute!!!

that's such a cool concept! sudowoodo trying to be other kinds of trees, it looks amazing

Found this in my mums room

Does anyone remember the old pokemon website browser games?
I miss those games man
The deerling one was my shit
I'm pretty sure they stopped making new ones around early gen 6 but I think one of the puzzle games got updated after that because i remember it using the latest tcg set pack arts as its puzzles until at least like primal clash
Most of the games were gen 4 or 5 from what I remember
Oh shit I remember one I really liked
It was a game where you had to paint a canvas by slingshoting paint balloons at it
I think if you held the click down it would fill up the balloons more but they'd pop if you held it too long
I feel like the games have to be archived somewhere
But I don't think they were actually flash so they wouldn't be on any of thoes archives
I sure hope they arnt gulp l-lost media
Ok yeah I checked archive.org and seems like most of them are there
Damn it I can't find the painting one
Also I can find the joltik one only footage of it
twin delta
I do remember them but I played the gen 3 ones
vagrant marlin
Does anyone remember the old pokemon website browser games?
omg yeah
the only ones i can remember are the togedemaru and swirlix ones
sacred warren
the only ones i can remember are the togedemaru and swirlix ones
Oh damn they kept making them into gen 7?
vagrant marlin
yeah i guess so
i also remember when they did "pokemon kids winter fest" which was basically a revival of it that lasted for like a month
back in like december of 2020 it was like winter minigames and you could collect medals of all pokemon up to calyrex i think
sacred warren
Yeah ik what winter fest was lol
Wish they did more stuff like that
Unfortunately it's more profitable to shove kids onto the gambling mobile games instead
I kinda hate how mobile games have kinda just lead to the death of spinoffs
Like yeah they still make them
But compared to mobile games they don't make as much money so why make more then like 1 release ever 2 years
Hopefully pokopias success will lead to more in the future
The last 2 spin offs before pokopia preformed pretty poorly detective pikachu 2 was like not good
But new snap was genuinely a really fun and pretty game that I feel like was just held back by being a full price game
Like it's a great game
But it really shouldn't have been 60 dollars
Dx also preformed pretty poorly despite being a remake of the best selling pmd games
But I've heard dx isn't really as good as it should be
And idk what's up with pokken
I think it sold decently for being a wii u game rereleased on switch?
Might be wrong there
But it did sell at least well enough to where they did have official tournaments for it iirc
vagrant marlin
Wish they did more stuff like that
it was probably to get the most out of flash while they could cause it shut down at the end of that month
but yeah i wish they did more stuff like that too
mellow lagoon
Anyone gonna try for the pokemon Pitch Black release when it happens?
lyric barn
Anyone gonna try for the pokemon Pitch Black release when it happens?
huh, haven't heard of that before and don't know what it is
Ooh it's cards
rotund bramble
i really like mega darkrai so i will try to get at least a pack at some point... not brave enough to go to a release though lol
mellow lagoon
ill fuck a scalper up is all im saying
BUT THEY GOTTA SLOW DOWN WITH CARD RELEASES MAN
foggy plank
Theyre doing some smaller sets now so that probably explains part of it
I made my first order on TCGPlayer, picked up the Skeledirge, Quaquaval, Blaziken, Zacian, Jirachi, and Yveltal! It all arrived a little earlier than expected and the Jirachi is actually LP despite being listed and sold as MP! Very happy about this all, with it ive completed this part of my binder :DD

would you guys consider grading to be something that’s purely for money
and like something you shouldn’t do if you’re in it for the fun
hexed copper
i think you should do whatever you want with your cards
theyre your cards
grade them or rip them to pieces who cares
tiny snow
i think most people that grade cards are doing it for money but i think most people that BUY graded cards are doing it for collecting
i have a bunch of graded dunsparce cards and even a graded sealed pack because the artwork has dunsparce on it just because i like dunsparce and think it's fun to have a "perfect" version of the cards
twin delta
I will say in light of recent events be careful where you send your cards if you grade them but at the end of the day, who give a shit they’re your cards
mellow lagoon
would you guys consider grading to be something that’s purely for money
Yes if thats the only reason u purely pull and then immediately send em away
BUT
If ur a casual fan/collector and wanna do it outta curiousity
I dont see a problem then
But if it's just straight from pulling and then shipped off to psa or tag then yes i see it as purely for money
But as said earlier, do what you want
Ur cards ur property
heady elbow
i have a bunch of graded dunsparce cards and even a graded sealed pack because t...
Oh which pack?
sacred warren
I mean you can grade your cards if you want but grading them isn't really much better then just putting them in a good toploader
heady elbow
Considering getting some packs I have graded. In the past, I’ve ripped all of my packs with errors (those super blurry evolving skies packs would sell for so much I’m sure actually lol, but I had fun)
sacred warren
Like unless you're going to sell them you don't really need to know if your cards are like a 8 or a 9
mellow lagoon
Ive also heard horror stories of grading companies even stealing some cards ppl send in
tiny snow
Oh which pack?
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Champion_Road_(TCG)
little sparce in the corner
heady elbow
Have sv base packs with the holographic effect of a different pack on the wrapper
tiny snow
heady elbow
Like gyarados pack artwork with the holographic placement of miraidon (might’ve been the other way around tho)
mellow lagoon
That is a pretty pack
heady elbow
Koraidon pack with the holographic placement of the paldea starters (and vice versa)
tiny snow
there's another sealed pack i want that has dunsparce on it but it goes for multiple hundreds so, no,

the only time ive ever consider sending in cards for grading is like my childhood cards tbh
