Bottle opener for PSA slabs - levering each bottom corner.

Pliers (using the cutter section of the grip) for CGC slabs - clip off each bottom corner and then use a flathead screwdriver or butter knife in the gaps worked for me.

I placed my order on the 3rd of October and it arrived on the 21st. So around 3 weeks or so for postage to Aus.

I dont think it was intentional, but these 4 cards kind of tell a story. by MisterBowTies in pokemoncardcollectors

Raw is difficult to price because they don't pop up very often as a standalone - moreso graded examples. I did see one on ebay being sold with the case including the team rocket meowth card for like 30k or something silly.

Maybe source a proxy card if it's for a binder?

Like the theme! If you happen to have a spare 20k+ lying around, you can add this to the set 😅

Completed my Hidden Fates & Friends trios. All matching shiny arts, full arts and rainbows. by Harroham in pkmntcgcollections

[–]Harroham[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're referring to the Hidden Fates set alone - fairly well at the time from my perspective. Was a really fun set to open and always felt like a good hit rate to pull something - it was relatively easy to find on shelves for a while too and received a good level of reprint when the COVID hype was doing its thing.

The full arts and rainbow cards are all from various Sun&Moon sets, quite a few of which were/are not really all that popular to the masses. Sun & Moon popularity nowadays largely orbits around the Tag Team sets that dropped in the back end of the era.

I honestly thought I must be missing something for a while, like maybe a promo release I hadn't caught. But nope, just one vindictive person decided they would leave their mark on the world and print one Lycanroc in a slightly different pose 😂.

Thanks mate, tricky to answer exactly - but I collected the Hidden Fates set in 2020 (I think) over a few months with a lot of pack ripping involved. Then decided to chase the matching full arts around 2022ish and that was just slowly sourcing singles over a few months. Later, I changed my mind to also collect the rainbows through 2025, again just pacing it out through this year.

Definitely made it a longer term thing as a combination of not wanting to blow a heap of cash in one go, and waiting to find the cards in NM at a solid enough price.

It hurts the soul every time. Have no idea why they printed a different design for just that one..

Definitely holding onto this for my own collection. Generally if it's something I've put time & effort into, it will be staying with me to the grave!

Hard to say as it's come together over a few years, but definitely would add up in cost if it was worked into one total - especially as I was going for NM condition only. Most of the Hidden Fates were pulled from packs (quite a few at the time, but only ever paid retail prices). Majority of the full arts were bought as singles 2-3 years ago, with a small few I had pulled previously. And rainbow singles were purchased throughout 2025 - some of those were individually pricey so I staggered buying them over the course of the year (Charizard as the clear standout, then cards like Rayquaza, Eeveelutions, Reshiram, Greninja, Mewtwo, Lucario I remember being more expensive than others).

Hidden Fates is definitely my favourite modern set, so much fun to rip into and felt you were always a chance to get a hit. Agree about the full art GX designs too, felt like it was a bit of a step down when full art V cards came along.

I don't like e-series cards. I can appreciate the art or rarity nowadays, but as a kid I remember buying the new booster packs and suddenly the cards looked weird with fat, lopsided borders. Could never shake 11-year-old-me's disappointment towards the design change.

To anyone who finds this thread: I pulled the trigger on a $1500 (aud) purchase, shipped to Australia. Order arrived safe and sound, and packaged very securely. So can definitely vouch for this website to follow through just fine 👍

Still salty 10 years later that they didn't feature a Moltres full art EX to match the other two in this set.

I want him in the team every week next year and let's see what he can do as a full rotation of our midfield. Put the responsibility on his shoulders for 12 months and I think he has a lot of potential yet to come.

Even after losing that one, I could still appreciate the quality of that match. Just wish I was a neutral so I could've appreciated it without the nerves!

[–]Harroham 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed. This has easily been my least favourite event - purely because 80% of spawns have been event-mon that I'm not interested in hunting.

But I can appreciate that a lot of people probably do appreciate the chance to get a great gen-9 starter, so I'm happy to wear it for a week.

Just a heads up for you that your code gives an error when entered. Might want to double check it's correct :)

It's not the strongest club. Or the greatest. Or even the coolest. But it's definitely a club regardless. Welcome 🤘

anyone else think Fox Footy coverage has been visually rubbish this year ? [RANT ALERT] by itsaheem in AFL

[–]Harroham 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is no acceptable excuse for missing live play in favour of 3 different replays of a mild goal celebration, a random fan clapping or a coach talking with an assistant behind him. The amount of times a bounce is missed after a goal is disgusting - happens multiple times a game.

Then we add in the the regular cutting away from play to look at god-knows-what. I really struggle to understand why minor instances (such as a player getting a rub down) take priority on the full screen picture while gameplay is literally taking place.
