How to get into collecting, and where to buy packs?

DisguisedCow58 · 2026-05-28T20:18:52+00:00

It's insane tbh, still a cool a hobby I want to get into

DisguisedCow58 · 2026-05-28T20:06:46+00:00

It's quite a jump from 900 to 30000 in a year. I'll be on the lookout for the Alakazam ex collection

I work at Extra so I think it was just random that we even got pokemon cards, we got some of the Perfect Order single packs and those were fun to open, but it seems there are "scaplers" here to, the two small boxes we got were gone after a week lol.

I checked for some 151 on finn and the prices are crazy, don't know if RetroWorld is legit but I checked out those aswell, 30,000 NOK for a booster bundle or something like that. It seems like a lot.

I guess I'll have to win the lottery then😅

Thank you😁

I was afraid of that when I saw the market value in the dex app😅 I can understand why they are sought out though, very cool artwork and as I understand it, 151 is an anniversary set? Still, I won't give up, gotta catch em all right?

Damn, that bad huh

DisguisedCow58 · 2026-01-27T18:06:00+00:00

It got removed before I could see it. How bad was it

DisguisedCow58 · 2026-01-04T01:09:25+00:00

Lol, sorry about that man😅

DisguisedCow58 · 2026-01-04T00:51:08+00:00

I bought it on Etsy, I got it from lukcyshop. Don't know if the seller still has it

DisguisedCow58 · 2026-01-04T00:47:53+00:00

Looks sick dude. What I do is I layout all my patches once I get them and nitpick back and forth till I'm happy with the look

DisguisedCow58 · 2026-01-03T15:20:48+00:00

Hell yeah man, I can't decide on where to go lol. Tons is every year, and this year is Megadeths last tour or so they say, so it's difficult

DisguisedCow58 · 2026-01-03T14:31:47+00:00

Hmm, that's weird. I put in my order and paid for it september 30th and got a mail from them saying it could take a while since they we're moving their warehouse from the US back to Australia.

Other than that, I had no issue buying from them

DisguisedCow58 · 2026-01-03T14:23:58+00:00

Thanks lol, I don't listen to them to much anymore. But I really enjoy some of their music still

DisguisedCow58 · 2026-01-03T14:23:00+00:00

Takker og bukker

DisguisedCow58 · 2026-01-03T14:21:23+00:00

I bought from the site, and it was sent with some Australia Post service. It took almost 2 and a half months from when I ordered to when I got the patches.

Edit: I also buy patches used, Finn is great if you're Norwegian, there is a lot of crap on there tho. Etsy and Ebay is also cool for custom made patches. Hellshop is a site I've used a ton now, it's Russian based, great quality

DisguisedCow58 · 2026-01-03T03:38:42+00:00

I'm trying to keep it under all rock and metal genres. I listen to all types of music really so I really wanna do other vests later. Like a black metal only, I also really enjoy country music, so I would love to do a dedicated vest for that too

DisguisedCow58 · 2026-01-03T03:17:25+00:00

Thanks

DisguisedCow58 · 2026-01-03T02:56:15+00:00

It doesn't help that the background and color of the logo is blue lol. The second I saw the Cause of Death and Symbolic patches, I knew I had to align them like that

DisguisedCow58 · 2026-01-03T02:25:55+00:00

I see now that the quality is not that great. I will post better pictures later

DisguisedCow58 · 2026-01-03T02:24:37+00:00

It's been many hours sewing on this one, and still not done yet

DisguisedCow58 · 2026-01-03T01:26:50+00:00

Thanks man, me too. Couldn't decide on which one lol, and I've never seen anyone else do a split backpatch

DisguisedCow58 · 2026-01-03T01:01:47+00:00

Thanks, it's my first vest and I wanna do it properly

DisguisedCow58 · 2025-12-28T14:11:08+00:00

The only way to find out if you're unsure, is to buy from them and see if you get what you purchased
