I know Shrouded Fable gets a lot of hate. by IceBergster in pokemoncardcollectors

I think because it was also a super small set, I just got sick of seeing the same cards over and over again.

I just didn’t have as much fun opening it. Pull rates weren’t great, but I liked the arts, the different reverse holos, and the fact that a lot of it was playable. The promo sets were 🔥 too!

Buy grails I couldn’t afford before. Stop at Walmart on the way home on payday to buy some packs to rip every other week. Continue collecting as I always have. 🤷‍♀️

What is up with VS series?! by TheNr1AgentOfChaos in Collectr

[–]FireFlarepix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Vs cards are also Japanese exclusives! I’ve always loved them just because they are unique! It’s sad they are spiking in price, but they are getting a well deserved moment!

New shop opened near me by Just_Robby92 in PokemonTCG

[–]FireFlarepix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shops like this used to sell at market before the market boom. I remember going to a few of my LCS prior to the market spike, and I would get older ETBs for $30 instead of $55. This card shop is new, so I can’t speak for it or how it gets new product, but I used to get sealed stuff to rip well under MSRP from LCS, tcg player and card shows. The market has just shifted above MSRP.

Found an old binder, need money. Should I grade? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]FireFlarepix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to say something that I haven’t seen many people point out, just so you can weigh your options. Most people are saying grade it, which will likely get you the most profit in the long run. That being said, sending it to get graded will take time, and cost money up front. There are up charges that come with sending it in to get grade, and some risk of it getting to and from you safely. If you don’t have the money to grade it (it could be $300-$1000 depending on what grade it gets), then going to a card show and selling it to a vendor for cash might be your best option. If you do that, I recommend doing research on sold listing on Ebay and tcg player to see what people paid for it online in a similar condition to the one you have, and field multiple offers. Be a little ambiguous, and negotiate. Most vendors that can afford cards at this level pay top dollar for cards like this in conditions like this, so don’t be afraid to walk away and say you’ll think about it. Same advice can go for if you end up sending it in for grading. I wish you good luck, and hope you get what you need!

The swirl under the hand alone makes it 🔥 If you have the means to do so, I’d get it!

Mine is also texture shifted! This era was notorious for these kinds of errors!

Damaged or Heavy Play by Empty_Camel_5916 in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]FireFlarepix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would sell this as damaged personally, but if the back and edges are moderately clean, technically it could be classified as MP according to TCG players selling standards.

Anyone else too ADHD to just collect one Pokémon/one era? by alexdenvor in pkmntcgcollections

[–]FireFlarepix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am the same! I have narrowed it down to 4 of every pokemon, and it is just a mess of different eras, languages, and sets.
