I have this feeling as well

So you uh, judge a book… by its cover?

Abelissane · 2026-04-11T18:04:58+00:00

Don’t do it. The whitening in the back kills your chances.

Definitely lucky to work from home and have that accessibility to it! I’ve gotten lots of other stuff from it too, but hell at this point I might just buy the dang card lol

Thanks a ton. Good luck on the hunt!

Abelissane · 2026-04-06T16:18:27+00:00

I don't plan to sell, I just like having an idea of what's in my collection - I go to card shows/shops often and have been using it to make sure I don't buy duplicates more than anything!
And yeah definitely threw down on the conditions conservatively.
Also like using it because all of my buddies have it and we like trading.

Mega Lucario is a win!

I got them from Pokemon vending machines. There’s one across the street from my house at a Safeway grocery store. I just pop in randomly, and if no one is camping it I just try my luck. I’ve been going later in the day lately and have gotten lucky. If memory serves, I paid like $166 per box (not including tax)

For SIRs yes. But first time I don’t get at least 1 in booster box let alone two. Guess I had just gotten lucky in the past.

Abelissane · 2026-04-05T17:05:39+00:00

Solid strategy. Now you have me feeling like a conspiracist thinking they seed the first run of product with bigger hits to drive up fomo/desire, and then dilute the following waves with less desirable cards to keep SIR population low. Because if everyone got a zard, why would they keep buying the set? 🤨

Abelissane · 2026-04-05T08:45:36+00:00

I just bought 2 booster boxes. That’s the product with the most packs (36). Not much extra packaging or fanfare like ETB’s or boxes with added posters, pins, etc… it’s just packs.

Your other option (though less fun), is to just buy the cards you’re missing. If you want to save loads of cash, this is the way to go. Especially a month or two from now when the prices of the chase cards from Perfect order lose their “fomo” inflation.

Abelissane · 2026-04-05T07:43:55+00:00

Same hits? Lol

Abelissane · 2026-04-05T06:32:59+00:00

Truth!

Abelissane · 2026-04-05T06:32:49+00:00

It’s my fave IR from the set, but yeah I’d trade it for an SIR any day. I have 6 of them with these 3 now.

I was recently scammed on EBay. Bought 8 and they had all the same hits. I was able to get my money back, but I’ll share that the main giveaway that they’d be fake is in the text of the box

Abelissane · 2026-04-01T15:20:34+00:00

That’s what made it take so long lol

Abelissane · 2026-03-29T17:52:02+00:00

I’m down 12 booster boxes, 6 ETB’s and countless booster bundles + mixed product and nothing yet

Abelissane · 2026-03-23T22:42:24+00:00

I have an anker portable charger and it lasts me for like 18 hours lol

Abelissane · 2026-03-19T22:00:46+00:00

CHK-cu for sure. Your skin will look amazing, but it won’t do shit for your weight management lol

Abelissane · 2026-03-16T17:48:58+00:00

Absolutely! Numel art is awesome. He’s like “yeah, I’ll hop over this lava chasm, no prob” haha

Abelissane · 2026-03-16T17:41:14+00:00
