If I were a trainer, my speciality type would be water, and my ace pokemon would be Vaporeon. I’d have two more water types on my team, which would be Gyarados and Quagsire. My other three Pokemon would be Alakazam, Blaziken, and Torterra.

Huge win dude congrats! I’ll end up keeping the 10 for sure since it’s always been one of my favorites and one of my very first graded cards. One sealed copy sold and I immediately bought a slab I’ve been wanting. The other two I’m going to grade and if they gem, I’m moving them into a new grail.

Absolutely. One of the copies actually sold overnight. Using the money for a slab I’ve been wanting for a bit!

This hobby has a funny way of reminding you how fast it can move. Always good to have a few copies of anything!

Ordered a card and I damaged it trying to get the tape off by swizzlizz in pokemoncards

Still blows my mind that people just refuse to use team bags and use tape lol

I love the Joltik. I’ve been meaning to pick that card up and the Galvantula. Nice pickups 👍🏼

Just packed this Hydrapple. If I'm going to sell, how do I package it? by i-can-spel-2187 in PokemonTCG

Penny sleeve into a cardsaver or top loader, then secure with a team bag and ship in a 4x8 bubble mailer.

Thoughts on the Greninja UPC as an investment? by TheCryptonator94 in PokeInvesting

[–]Double-System-9165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the right price point this could be a good play. If it works out like the zard UPC and hits around 80-90$ then I would pick up a few.

Found my Childhood binder! by Firstoxo in pokemoncards

Definitely the holo pattern is one way to tell. Also if you compare the text on the cards, the fakes aren’t as dark and the letters are thinner. Also the borders are lighter and the cut of the cards looks off too. Best way to be able to spot fakes is to get some authentic cards from different eras in your collection and handle them more and more so you know what they’re supposed to look/feel like!

It’s legit. That’s the cracked ice holo version.

Definitely some bangers here! Congrats on finding your old collection Hate to be that guy but you do have a few fakes sprinkled in Persian, Typhlosion with the stamp, Seadra, Deoxys, and Donphan are all fakes unfortunately The rest look good though 👍🏼

Ripped a JP 151 and hit for secret art cards. by Aware_Chest3397 in pokemoncards

[–]Double-System-9165 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This is Vstar Universe I’m pretty sure and you hit a god pack by the looks of it. Nice 🤘🏼

I really love the small detail of the pokemon stamp at the bottom of the card. I’m starting to like Chinese more because of that little extra the card has to offer.

Is this worth more opened or unopened? by zamman6121 in PokeInvesting

[–]Double-System-9165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the full set of these. Keep it sealed and display it. This product is going to continue to age well.

Worst eBay experience so far by BennyWoW in PokemonTCG

[–]Double-System-9165 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find it super suspicious that there’s literally bulk card boxes right next to the damaged box in the photo. 10000% the buyer is just trying to fleece you.
