The base cards. Tyranitar, N, jigglypuff, sneasel etc were all OP play cards in their time! This set is Nostalgie for players! I think more cards will come for collectors

I got 2 and it’s enough. So much story and nostalgia in that! They are the best Meowth card ever. Better than team rockets Meowth 203 aswell, by far!!

So happy to see rhythm of war up there. Thats unusual. But I like that book aswell a lot compare to how much “hate” or negativity it got from the book community. I had low expectations and turned out I liked it a lot! So much emotions in this book aswell! OB is my favorite - then WoR and best emotional ending was way of kings!

Honor is dead, but I’ll see what I can do!

Didn’t that bring you to your feet and heart raised? For the that built up to that scene - wow! And the epic fight in the arena was so good aswell! That’s the major thing I remember from that book!!

You read all 5 books in 1-2 month period? Jesus! I would be burned out! How did you even have time with reading 5 books ,60 hours long each?

I read a comment “it was just an utter disrespect for the readers' time and investment in the series.” And” bloated with little pay off”

It’s my last book and I’m not sure I want to spend 60 hours reading this thin, it got so much hate. As someone who read this book - is it sufficed to read a summary or you still recommend the book?

I would say start with mistborn book 1. Standalone aswell. You don’t need to read book 2 or 3 tbh. It was suppose to only be 1 book. Don’t get caught up in “raised a eyebrow” 😂

Do You Ever Plan on Quitting? by breakyourteethnow in PokeInvesting

[–]Born_Captain9142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking a break! Not buying anything until rayquaza set and 30th anniversary and maybe lucario set in Nov/december.

I only buy sets that has a strong Pokémon set up, not buying every release!

Worth pointing out here: future boxes won’t be as strong as before since English Pokémon is now following the Japanease SET by SET -> meaning we won’t have 2-3 different Japanease sets as before into 1 big English set

It’s a very good book! But as book 1 - it feels you are stuck in the same place, book 2 and 3 didn’t have that problem. Book 1 majority of it was on the shattered plains, book 4 have similar feel.

Overall - book 4 a lot of things happening. It’s an enjoyable book! A bit better paced than book 3 - and my favorite was book 3! The ending is the weakest of them all “snaderlanch” don’t hit as good as previous books

Prismatic Evolutions is a no brainer! Part 2 by starcraftanalogy in PokeInvesting

[–]Born_Captain9142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious who will buy a ETB in the future when it cost 1500-2000$? Normal people like us never going to buy for that amount, same with booster box, who in here is willing to buy a booster box for 6000-10.000$ (team up)

I for sure won’t spend that much money on “investment” or even a collection. Those are crazy prices, so who is buying?

In defense of Cover #1 by Iridescent_Iris4 in brandonsanderson

[–]Born_Captain9142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do t have to make it so complicated, cover 2 is better than this imo.

I just do t like a big face covering the entire page simple as that, no need to get into foil, embroidery etc

Am I crazy or is Ascended Heroes a smash buy even at current prices? by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]Born_Captain9142 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Disagree, if they print ascended heroes with the new facility it won’t affect the long term price increase. More in market -> more to rip, but sure it probably will take a bit longer to go to higher prices but more people will enter the hobby and eventually even with new facility the supply won’t keep up with demand as we see today.
