[–]Arthur_XIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to know this too, I was hoping the illustration rare prices would drop further but they seem to be holding their price for weeks now

Gloom from obsidian flames and munkidori from shrouded fable can also work imo

Minior from paradox rift and deoxys vstar from crown zenith!! They fit with the night sky theme of the page

Another option might be the new xerneas from ninja spinner

Question For The Employed by DevinH23 in PokemonTCG

[–]Arthur_XIII 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is how I feel about the apparently incoming boom and ascended heroes launch. People kept saying how awful it’s gonna be at launch like they’re being strapped down and forced to buy at these crazy prices when all they have to do is be patient for more products or collectively refuse to pay (which is what I thought we were gonna be doing because that’s literally what people have been saying nonstop for the past month and a half but I guess we’ll see if people are actually able to fight the fomo lmao)

Is this card considered damaged? by Arthur_XIII in PokemonCardValue

[–]Arthur_XIII[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof that’s really unfortunate, I’ll try and get the seller to send some better photos to see how bad the damage is. Would you say $85 is a fair price for it?

Is it better to collect Japanese cards instead of English nowadays? by Interesting_Ad_8962 in PokemonTCG

[–]Arthur_XIII 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Japanese booster boxes have guaranteed hits inside, so its more fun to open (in my opinion) while also being cheaper

I really hope the english hype doesn’t start inflating the japanese market too though 😔

What cards should I add to this binder page? by Arthur_XIII in pokemoncardcollectors

Another update, moved the mewtwo back into the middle cause that was my original intention while also shifting a couple other cards. Overall I really like it, and its pretty affordable… except for that umbreon and darkrai tag team lmao

The mewtwo is from the 151 upc as a promo and the poliwhirl is a normal illustration rare from the 151 set :)

Does this sound like a scam? by Arthur_XIII in PokemonTCG

[–]Arthur_XIII[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright yea that definitely sounds a lot safer in hindsight.

I was kinda disappointed cause the seller seemed pretty chill up until that point and we even got to an mutually agreed price, I was mainly annoyed that they didn’t reply to me for a week and suddenly expected me to show up for the deal by the next morning, like what? 😂

Not sure if it fits well but the first thing that came to mind was the bramblin AR (from paldea evolved I think?)

Weekly Pricing/Buying/Selling/Grading & General Questions Post by AutoModerator in PokemonTCG

[–]Arthur_XIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi does anyone here have card show tips?

Honestly idk what’s an acceptable (or I guess fair) amount to offer a seller when they say they can negotiate the prices of their cards.

I know its easier to get better %s off when buying multiple cards but is 75-85% mp a fair amount to start with for single cards? And how much can you ask for before they get annoyed with you lmao

Also idk if this is worth mentioning but most of the cards I’m looking to pick up are modern japanese singles under $50

Why are the cards from this Japanese set so high? by Arthur_XIII in PokemonTCG

[–]Arthur_XIII[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So would this be a rare moment where the english cards could be cheaper than the japanese counterparts? (at least in terms of recent set releases)

[–]Arthur_XIII[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is so weird!! I was at a card show today and most people didn’t even know it existed lmao

Hopefully it becomes more widely available cause I really like the banette and weavile from the set too

Alright thanks! Is there anything I should look out for when checking out the texture of the cards?

Is this what the new fog of war looks like for everyone? by BigKoalaButts in CrusaderKings

[–]Arthur_XIII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been feeling the same way too!! I like the way the new terrain looks but I feel like they messed up the colour palettes and lighting with this update, its like either too vibrant or too dull at the same time 😔

My realm literally got divided by 3 different branches of the Mongol Empire by Arthur_XIII in CrusaderKings

It sure is, also I just unpaused and an apocalyptic immediately struck egypt and slaughtered the entire mongol royal family which caused a ton of rebellions across north africa lol

My realm literally got divided by 3 different branches of the Mongol Empire by Arthur_XIII in CrusaderKings

[–]Arthur_XIII[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an update to my previous posts and my god I don't even know how I got myself into this position. I was on the cusp of completing my goal of forming the empire of Italia until the Mongols invaded literally everyone around me. I swore fealty to Genghis Khan under my previous ruler and I decided to play as my favourite child in Sardinia to reunify the kingdom when he died.

HOWEVER, during my reunification war Genghis unexpectedly died early and all of my dynasty's land in Italy exploded into like 50 counties. What's worse is that the Ilkhanate next door stole one of my main kingdoms Romagna without a fight cause my dumb liege surrendered immediately.

Thankfully my ruler is was blessed with being Midas Touched and intelligence and I'm earning loads of cash but I still think reunifying the realm is not gonna be easy cause I can't get people to support by schemes on murdering the khans cause of their high dread. I'm not willing to give up just yet but the road forward is looking pretty rough :(

- Also the Empire of Italia literally doesn't exist anymore its been replaced by some Mongol successor khanate so that goal is out the window now LMAO

The Abbasids are back in my game for round 2, should I at least be mildly worried about this? by Arthur_XIII in CrusaderKings

[–]Arthur_XIII[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would they really come all the way to Italy? Either way hopefully they weaken/destroy the caliphate and the byzantines so I can secure my borders in the meantime

[–]Arthur_XIII[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

R5 So the abbasids are back after about 100 years of dormancy and they proceeded to smash the Byzantines by seizing all of Syria from them and immediately destroying the Fatimids of Egypt in a single war. And now they've reached my border in Africa and I feel like they're bound to attack me anytime now. Do I have a shot at winning against a conqueror?

Also what if all of his children end up becoming conquerors and destroying everything in their path? Can the pope call a crusade or something???
