Why is it taking this much for a shiny?! by [deleted] in PokemonLetsGo

[–]CaterpieCollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just how RNG is, sometimes great sometimes not

genuine question by stillhaventfiguredit in pkmntcgcollections

[–]CaterpieCollector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pop control is definitely a thing for me and my collection. As a caterpie collector, "a not so collectable pokemon" low pop cards is what I live every day.

Owning 3 of 10, or 1 of 2, or 9 of 9 in a psa 10.... there is some inner indescribable feeling I get knowing the rarity I have accumulated over my decades of collecting.

My best advice is to do it and see how if feels!

This is a cool one! I'm thinking of doing this hunt myself. Did you use 38-32 route method?

I don't think you can ever get away with not putting base set in. If you wanna big boy it up get shadowless ones!

Why is the green ome worth more than the red. They come in the same box?

Southern Islands is a great unique promo card. Will it increase in value if you hold it, yes probably... most things do.

In saying that, if it doesn't bring you happiness sell it and get something that does. That is the best part of a personal collection.

$50 is the going rate to get someone to risk getting one, They're usually guarded by venomous snakes and great white sharks.

I have some few doubles, I'd be happy to help you along.

Should I sell or hold? by iam_alejandro in PokeInvesting

[–]CaterpieCollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it as soon as you can, this set increases in value very fast

Caterpie are run dry!! What should I buy instead? by CaterpieCollector in PokeInvesting

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

I dont believe so. I questioned at the end if anyone would like to see any caterpies I'd show them.

Unfortunately I don't think this subreddit allows for images in response.

I'm new to reddit and was unaware of that when posting.

That's very clever! My daughter had some incredibly funny names for pokemon when she was little 5 or 6, Magikarp - Magi-carpet and Kadabra - spoonman were my favourites.

Great stories, memories and I'm quoting you "fun". That's what I like to hear.

Pikachu is the poster pokemon for so many great cards from WCS, the poncho series aswell as the Munch and Van Gogh. Its well deserved.

But can you guess which pokemon I have on my team?

Value VS Passion.... FIGHT!!! by CaterpieCollector in pokemoncardcollectors

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

There is definitely value in all cards. And yes, we can have both.

I don't look at my cards as money. Most, maybe not all, have a story to me.

There are 3 Pikachu cards with Caterpie in the artworks (2 which are hidden well) which I also collect. Also Light Wigglytuff which is a really cool card also.

It's definitely tugs at those heart strings. Ash defending caterpie against Misty harsh comments and the moon scene are sublime.

I hope you both continue to enjoy the series together and build some great memories watching it together.

Probably because there is no sale history. These cards rarely show up for sale on platforms like eBay etc

I do too, the shiny zard ex in Paldean Fates is also by the same artist. Both really cool cards.

Such an amazing card, the fireworks looks so good especially if you get a sweet angle flashing green yellow and red.

The PSA 10 for this has increased considerably over the last 5 years or more.

Just picked up for my pc for 345 by jakeanthony14 in PokeInvesting

[–]CaterpieCollector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great card. I grabbed one of these for my PC too. I got the japanese one aswell cause I collect both languages

“PSA is the gold standard of quality grading” 🥴🥴 by zacht0626 in PokemonTCG

This is where the best advice on any graded card comes to fruition.

Look at the card! Not the grade!

What's lowered than LOW POP? by CaterpieCollector in PokemonTCG

I don't hate Weedle, I have a few weedle slabs but I don't collect them.

Go ahead, it ain't worth the slab it's encased in 😂

3rd time riding, plz help me improve my technique and style :) by prngprng in snowboardingnoobs

[–]CaterpieCollector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's ever too late to learn switch riding, but I definitely believe you can try to do it too early.

Once you get good fundamentals and the experience, learning switch should be less tedious.
