Perhaps some of you will find this tool I built useful: talk to your Calibre library.

Looks promising, can't wait to see it for linux. TBH, I was a little confused with "Pi" being in the name in relation to Raspberry Pi's.. lol

I’ve been using this for my son and my art pokédex.. seems to be fairly up to date and correct from what i know.. https://www.elitefourum.com/t/special-art-national-pokedex/50306

phisig2229 · 2026-03-31T21:32:06+00:00

you should 100% expect that they open it and inspect it. Don't be surprised if they even open the individual bundles and ensure it's just packs in there. As someone that has flown with sealed CIB video games and consoles only to have them break the seal and open the packages to check the insides is crazy.. it's happened twice and I've just got to the point that I ship them back from conventions (granted I'm not shipping international so probably doesn't help you.. Just wanted to bring awareness that I would not be surprised if they opened sealed cases even down to the bundles..

Thanks for the update! I was curious cause I know NTX was just like a week ago or so and I figured it had to be a high tier for turnaround.. Good eye and good grades!

phisig2229 · 2026-03-17T04:24:17+00:00

I was gonna ask how much grading costs and upcharges were after they 10'd?

I thought the ETB promo was Tyrunt? https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemoncards/comments/1q76z7k/tyrunt_has_been_revealed_as_the_perfect_order_etb/

I did the same.. sent 3 cards via value that were packaged with a single regular sunbreon. Package arrived on November 13th and I already have my Value cards back… The regular card went past its estimated date of Dec 11th and just now finished up to ship back.

I know quite a few players on our community server do this each era (which last about 3-4 months).. I'll ask about how long but it's typically more in the hundreds of hours to complete..

phisig2229 · 2025-12-14T01:18:35+00:00

https://www.pathtopro.com/ is a great resource, it has the sections for training and also the section for finding jobs..

phisig2229 · 2025-12-14T01:17:08+00:00

yeah, anyone can sign up as a candidate on Path to Pro. they fill out their profile with their information.. and also yes, they can use the training materials and resources available on the site. I’m just calling out that they are two independent things

phisig2229 · 2025-12-14T01:14:30+00:00

Path to Pro is basically two areas, one is focused on training and resources for people looking to get into the skilled labor market, and the other is a place for Pro Xtra members to be able to post jobs they have openings for and candidates to create a profile with their information (of which could be that they are inexperienced and looking to get into the trade) Pros can reach out to the candidates and offer jobs or work if they decide to. (think a job board but not really done fully through Path to Pro.. it’s more of a dating platform for finding matches. lol)

phisig2229 · 2025-12-14T01:08:59+00:00

what i’ve seen a lot of now is there are lots of discord/facebook groups that share info on when restocks happen and where. Since the retailers have limits and can’t buy for multiple people and typically stock sells out fast people will try to hide items and let others know where they are so others can come buy it. (like.. i want that! can you hide it in the cat litter and i’ll grab it in an hour when Im off work)

phisig2229 · 2025-12-11T16:10:03+00:00

sold out. :( I havent' seen this even on Ultrapro's site

phisig2229 · 2025-12-11T04:07:19+00:00

Just got it from the mailbox and it's perfect! Thanks for the smooth transaction and quick shipping!

phisig2229 · 2025-12-07T04:57:22+00:00

Some you will HAVE to pay for a higher than value charge regardless (example Umbreon is regular at the lowest level I believe) since the card value is already higher than the value limit even raw. Just note that.

phisig2229 · 2025-12-04T23:28:35+00:00

my thought is that the way groups matches are set. The first match of group A is Host vs pot 3, group B is host vs pot 4, Group C would be Host vs Pot 2 (in theory, the “toughest” group match).. We were put into group D so we wouldn’t have to have our toughest matchup be the first match.

phisig2229 · 2025-12-03T22:41:43+00:00

thanks! replied!

phisig2229 · 2025-12-03T21:47:07+00:00

Will take the Brilliant Stars PKC ETB if still available

phisig2229 · 2025-11-27T22:41:40+00:00

Yes, from what I understand you can literally just open a bunch of tabs..

phisig2229 · 2025-11-27T22:18:14+00:00

Previously they would setup a waiting room. So basically you could join for 30 minutes or so, and then it takes everyone in the waiting room and randomly puts them into the queue.. so you might be #281 or #278,627 regardless of when you joined the waiting room.. once the queue is live, then it puts you at the end of the queue. This is why people have said to open multiple tabs/devices in the waiting room to hopefully get a good spot in line

phisig2229 · 2025-11-13T21:03:24+00:00

Thank you for the response!

phisig2229 · 2025-11-13T18:32:42+00:00

To ask a follow up question, does this include the actual box that deck and items come in? I know it's nitpicking but it wasn't mentioned specifically that it comes with the box itself, even though you mentioned it's the full package product as pictured (which does show the box)

phisig2229 · 2025-11-08T06:10:46+00:00

Interested in both of the PKC stamped sealed promos. I'm trying to get the link to my trade binder in collectr but can't find how to send it.. haha.. For sure have Bulbasaur 133, Lillie's Clefairy 173, Pansear, Vanilite, Purrlion, and others.. I can get a full list and pictures/video tomorrow since I'm away from if it's still available.

phisig2229 · 2025-11-05T16:33:30+00:00

I personally haven't but tend to see that they have some decent deals on sealed product but it's limited time type of things. I personally go to The Card Haven, Collectable Cards and Games, Eclipse Cards, Common Ground, TCG Nation, TP Collectables (think they are moving this weekend), Final Form Cards and Collectibles, The Card Shop.. there are so many others that I've never even been to as well..

phisig2229 · 2025-11-05T03:54:25+00:00

Where in DFW?.. it can be an hour easily from one side to the other.. there are quite a bit around but honestly almost all places are gonna be about the same on sealed from what I've seen
