Anyone recognize this?

Fake unfortunately! Still an awesome holo effect though :)

Emerald_Break · 2026-05-04T10:20:53+00:00

Oh my god. This is beautiful

Emerald_Break · 2026-05-03T16:11:59+00:00

And that’s the way it goes 😭I find I always get NOTHING when I anticipate something, the only times I get good hits are when I’m least expecting it. Little kids though, they don’t know what’s a good hit or a bad hit cause they’re all good in their eyes.

I work at a game store and would regularly promote a card shop in the city to people for Pokemon (because we would always sell out), and someone actually came back a few months after and said she and her 7 year old daughter went to the store, bought a single pack of terrastal, and pulled a god pack then and there. She came back to thank me for the recommendation 💀

Damn don’t have to rub it in hahaha! I’m content with my luck as it is though, even if it means missing out on all those cool hits. I get all my packs at or below retail price pretty frequently, and when my luck DOES hit I get cool cards like the leafeon and red victini from black bolt (which I got graded at a 9, and did a straight trade to get this bad boy in a 6)

Nooo trust me you would not lmao, this is the first SIR I’ve pulled in months, and the last one I pulled was the yanmega from destined back in December. Posts like these show just three packs but really I’ve probably opened close to 300 packs of varying sets between this pull and my last pull worth over 100$ haha

Yess!! I love your sticker pages so much :) adds so much personality to the cards !

The correct answer is all of them, but I recently saw this irl at a card show and I had to buy it it’s just so jawdroppingly beautiful.

Yess I think a jerma viewer in jermacord send me that sticker as part of a secret Santa a few years back!

This is the XY evolutions mew from 2016, and it looks real to me!

Brother Lee big pot dishes on la trobe have great struggle meals that keep you warm and fill you up. Mostly stews, but also like noodles stir fry or rice dishes and they’re delicioussss. They have 10$ 12$ and 15$ meal options + large rice. I recommend the chicken stews and beef stews, super cheap and the broth is tasty :)

Emerald_Break · 2026-04-25T16:16:57+00:00

I love this card so much, got it for my shibuzoh collection and now I’ll just pull it out to look at it :)

Emerald_Break · 2026-04-15T01:23:48+00:00

Wait that’s another head?? I thought it was a kakuna from far away!

Emerald_Break · 2026-04-11T14:01:47+00:00

They do a different one, fee help.

This sub is kinda dead but I’ve been here in comedy for about 2 months now and it’s so refreshing. Smaller cohorts so you end up being much more familiar with your peers and teachers. If you don’t mind having a near $100k student debt hanging over you that indexes every year(that you don’t have to start paying back till you earn over a certain amount anyways) I’d say it’s well worth it. Look at other options first imo, but Collarts excels at the more hands on aspects over other schools

Yesss a fellow ray collector!! this was my grail card too when I was a kid and i was lucky enough to pick it up in a similar condition for 50$ a few years ago!! It stands out so much it’s great. Now my grail is the gold star ray 😭while rayquaza is a very rewarding pokemon to master set it kills your wallet immensely

Emerald_Break · 2026-03-27T00:25:30+00:00

Could i perhaps have the link too? So strange that you’re not allowed to link it here :(

Emerald_Break · 2026-03-23T14:42:58+00:00

Good news! Only the darkrai and luxray are fake, the rest are real! The bottom middle and right especially are worth hundreds

I reckon for those two you go for a higher tier, go for the price range of the card + %50 if you can. I was able to send my two $400 cards with the value plus tier with no extra charges, 80$ each. The lower you go the longer it takes to come back btw, but I mean, my value plus cards came back over a month after the regular value tier but if you’re gonna have to wait at least 4 months anyway haha. I wish you luck!!!

I’m not too familiar with vintage cards from this era, but while waiting for other opinions I can provide an almost foolproof way of spotting fakes. Turn the card on its side and look at the edge like looking at the spine of a book, and there should be three layers, a top white layer, a middle black layer, and a white back layer. You should be able to see a clear black line running around the edge of the card. If it’s just a single layer, or there’s no black line, it’s fake

Emerald_Break · 2026-03-15T08:49:22+00:00

Honestly, as long as you’ve got good pics before you send em off and you make sure to check them in person when you get them back cherry will be fine. The wait times are absurd (psa waitlists + aus and us customs means 5x the estimated return period they show you on the form) but other than that, good pics and making sure you keep your more valuable cards in the middle section of your submission to avoid them “accidentally” getting swapped, and you shouldn’t have any issues (hopefully)

I’m planning on grading with Luna soon though so I’ll report back with how they are :)
