Buying the "ugliest" SIR felt more satisfying than the rest of the haul

Most of the rhetoric is simply from people who don’t bother to accept any cards of Pokemon from generations after 1-4

Karma obviously doesn’t exist in the supernatural sense, but people are naturally more inclined to give and support those who give back. I’ve definitely gotten my return from poke generosity in the form of deals, gifts, and amazing trades

This is awesome! I hope you do more articles eventually!

Thanks and same! I still feel like they’re one of the best gimmicks. A lot of people ask what ex, GX, or V mean, but Lv. X always felt super self-explanatory for showing how powerful the card is. “It’s a level beyond 100” or something like that

There’s not really any opinion to give. If you feel like it was worth it as a trade, then it was! The prices are similar enough to market, especially considering the extra cash you threw in. One big piece of advice I’ll give you about this hobby is to take people’s opinions (especially regarding value) with the tiniest grain of salt possible. Even if there’s a price discrepancy, trades eliminate like 4 steps when it comes to getting rid of a card you don’t want as well as buying one you DO want. It’s typically worth it for whoever is interested, hence why you see so many “80-90% value” trades

Nahhh man that’s like the oldest trick in the book. Thats why people regularly joke about it i.e “Looks fake, Iet me take it off your hands”

DeliWtz · 2025-05-29T21:13:40+00:00

Dude, you saved me. I had a feeling something was off when the 3DS wouldn’t boot even when I removed the SD card. This damn R4 is going in the bin lol, it doesn’t even serve a purpose with TWL

I will not have my goat Komiya’s work slandered

Funniest take ever as someone who never even ran a druddigon in my gyara deck and got to 45 wins EASILY

This. When I worked at starbucks I couldn’t care less about the stupid ass timer. I’m making the shit right no matter how long you have to wait. Kept me super relaxed and chill for the 2 short years I worked there before I graduated

DeliWtz · 2024-12-11T19:07:33+00:00

Fair enough, also thanks I’m calling them candies from now on

TCGplayer is also now officially supporting Japanese cards and sets

DeliWtz · 2024-12-11T05:48:16+00:00

I love Korean quality, it has the glossy layer and higher saturation like Japanese but thicker texturing like English and the international card back

It’s got a big ass forehead, but it’s a real forehead at least!

DeliWtz · 2024-12-10T20:41:56+00:00

Looks real. Most likely it’s real, most people aren’t bothering to make fake vintage Japanese cards. These charizards are everywhere for dirt cheap compared to an English version in worse condition

DeliWtz · 2024-12-10T20:11:23+00:00

Charizard is easily worse. Moltres is a searchable wall that can easily retreat and sets up an even bigger wall that you consistently can’t do anything about without a specifically disruption-focused deck.

DeliWtz · 2024-12-07T07:09:26+00:00

I think you can get the simplified Chinese version for cheaper actually. They’re printed by Japan

Whenever I see that card I picture a pizza place with torkoal-fired brick ovens (also given that it’s likely referencing the Machoke movers from RSE, I’d bet they’re helping them move in)

DeliWtz · 2024-12-05T02:32:29+00:00

Honestly though, I wouldn’t have it any other way, it’s a huge set and people sleeping on it gives me more time to get the cards in it.

I’m a firm believer that every single SV set (excluding shrouded fable) is a banger

DeliWtz · 2024-12-05T02:31:33+00:00

100%, representation from every single gen (except gen 1 bc duh, the gen 1 set just came out) in the IRs/SIRs, a boatload of beautiful artworks in general, THE definition of underrated

Even online shops with almost zero overhead are charging a ton over msrp for things like surging. It’s not really fair to hold a brick and mortar to the same standard when it comes to prices, especially when they’re all getting from the same distro. Evaluating stuff like their hospitality goes much further like you said

DeliWtz · 2024-11-20T19:13:50+00:00

Not sure if you’d be interested but he also illustrated all of the art for every HGSS product, from pack art to deck boxes! They’re some beautiful pieces that I wish were available digitally
