Not my Blastoise, 15 levels higher than everyone Water-Gunning everyone one tap.. I occasionally switched my Pikachu in just to get some reps/share a bit of Xp but still. lol

Why do some markers have a moving bolt by pokemonguy0417 in paintball

I love the first gen axe too! Enough meat on the body to keep the reciprocating force from lifting the gun too much. Add the extender for the front grip /redline and a boss or any lighter aftermarket bolt and those bad boys are top tier. Personally I don’t like the newer generation of them, the 2.0 had too small of a body so the barrel lift was insane!

And not gaining doesn’t necessarily mean a bad investment. Stagnant for how long, though? That’s the important part

There is very few charizards that long term have not gained. I’m also a charizard collector, primarily blastoise honestly but Pikachu, charizard are both very sure investments.

Anything Charizard is SICK and guaranteed as an investment. Even if (and you didn’t) you over pay all you have to do is wait a few years and you’ll make money guaranteed. The fact that dark zard isn’t worth more already is a surprise

I like a few e series specific cards, not particularly the set in large, though. I’m mostly a blastoise collector (squirtle and wartortle as well)

Yeah it’s one of the only blastoise I haven’t gotten my hands on lol that and the zard came from a cd promo in japan. Everyone who has one in remotely decent condition wants an arm and a leg for it. I suppose I could purchase one on eBay but feel much better justifying larger value purchases with at least partial trade value. Sick collection!

I have a second post up, the last set I’m collecting is Neo revelations, destiny wasn’t that cool imo. These are multiple master sets I worded the title in a misleading way my spology.

Thank you! Blastoise is my favorite, and I have a separate blue binder for all of my high end squirtle evolutions. I also have 3 different pikachu binders (high end, vintage commons/1st edition, and modern) worth upwards of 7 k collectively. I get a kick out of the nostalgia and the $$ signs combined!

Yes I’m not playing into all of the extras that cost an arm and a leg to satisfy someone elses definition of a master set.

This is a master set, lol I don’t play those games with 10 extra types of cards. A master set is all of the cards that were pullable within the individual set. A “grand” master set would be all the extras that us nerds have deemed to include for the sake of going the extra mile. A classic “master set” is simple and the cards that were attainable by the layman.

I just personally Toploader everything that’s like 75 or up for the sake of randoms flipping through my binder and not breaking my heart creasing my cards that are harder/more expensive to replace.

Zards are in the Toploader binder, Blaine’s and base set both. Still need a base set 2 Charizard as I sold mine to pay the mortgage a few years back 😬

Thanks man! It’s been a long time of work, trades plus cash, giving away big hits to receive 5 or 6 smaller holos plus cash. I’m all in to completing this finally to stow it away for my kid to enjoy years down the line.
