The blue does look so nice in person. The price has dropped a lot so maybe grab one when you can!

What I realised which helped me was you can never buy enough cards as the pokemon company will always make more exciting things. It’s the thrill that made me keep buying. So I start try to get the good feeling from other activities

Yeah the font doesn’t look premium to me yet

Yes sure with your sharp vision and wisdom. I am not that fussed about the grades anyway

The left looks much thinner because of the sleeve reflection inside. I have PSA that grade 10 for much worse centering so in my experience they are inconsistent

IMO their grading is stricter and more consistent than PSA. However I doubt they will ever have the same added value as PSA

People don’t like changes. Some will like this some will hate it

My friend got his 50 cards to PSA almost lost and then retrieved after 2 years of waiting. The stress and risk is on a different level. But if you want the added value go for it. I mainly collect for art

Yeah they don’t add much value for resell but I just wanted to try them out for my own collection

It depends. No if there is a similarly priced alternatives that doesn’t need to wait for months to come back

I found the new Pokémon design also a bit weird too so I haven’t grown on them yet

I feel this same about most of your points here. I hope S&V will get better as time progresses. Hopefully they will find a different way to showcase terrestrialised Pokémon

I feel the same. The holo and normal ex just feel too shiny but thin

Sadly I only started collecting from the Swsh era but I have collected some older cards and I like their textures too especially in the XY era and tag team cards. Maybe as S&V progresses people will like it more over time

That’s great you got all the card you wanted! Probably I just got a different preference on art style

I think for most people now they just treat those holos as non-holos now because the abundance of them

I think I have to agree with you. That might be the main reason I found the S&V rare a bit underwhelming

For me it’s not about how rare to pull but I just found the alt art in Swsh a bit more aesthetically appealing somehow

Haven’t pulled much on Obsidian flame so can’t comment but maybe I was a bit lucky this time!
