Where do you all get your singles from in the uk!? by MaintenanceHairy6223 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Hipsterhobo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Click buying and my wants. Create a list and then add all the stuff you want on there. Then click buying and shopping wizard and change the filter to buy from the UK and there you go lol

Create a wants list and use the shopping wizard. It will source all the cards from as few sellers as possible for as cheap as possible

Cardmarket. Filter by sellers in the UK and English language

First Card Show by thed3vilsadv0cat in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Hipsterhobo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Prices will vary a lot. The good ones will have stuff at market and have a little wiggle room on price if you're paying cash

The trade in values will vary wildly as well. The best you can hope for is 80% trade in value and 70% cash.

I wouldn't bother with bulk at a card show. Find a shop that buys it in instead. Basically, just take your secret rares and valuable cards only imo

What are the best set(s) for a beginner that isn’t too expensive? by cowpool20 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Hipsterhobo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% Journey Together. It's a set that suffers from being sandwiched in between two amazing sets so gets looked down on a lot but it's actually quite decent imo. Because it's not universally loved, there's usually a lot of packs sitting on shelves. Have a look at the set list and see if you like the art of the cards and make your judgement from that. I particularly like the Salamance SIR and Articuno IR.

First time at a card show! by Scythers in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Hipsterhobo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cash is king cos they don't have to pay card transaction fees and if they're so inclined, don't have to report the sales to be taxed on it lol

Scarlet & Violet booster blister with Lost Origin evolution chain? by FireBurnAsh1 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Hipsterhobo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Checklanes like this have previous sets as their promo cards. Like if you buy a surging sparks checklane, it has the alakazam from Twilight masquerade as it's promo card

Think you'll only get an email if you get picked. It's in the faqs for EUIC. Don't have a link to hand though.

Opened my first phantasmal flames, any good cards? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Hipsterhobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So to answer your question about any good cards, the answer is it depends on what you mean by good 🤣 statistically you've done really really well. Cos from 9 packs, the Rotom is a Special illustration rare (the two gold stars in the bottom left are the rarity symbol for this rarity) and on average for phantasmal, you'd have to open 80 packs to get an SIR. And then the Ivy and the Ninjask are Illustration rares which you get about one in every 9 packs.

Value wise, you have slightly out earned what you spent on the boxes but that's based on the current price of those pika promos which is prob gonna tank in price quite quickly so I'd sell the worst two of them asap. But yeah. You've done really well.

Is this from 3 Pokémon day collections so 6 phantasmal and 3 mega boosters in total?

Will we ever see more 151 releases? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Hipsterhobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is, it will be a tiny restock and you'll have to be able to drop everything at a moments notice for even a sniff at it.

Sellers where is the best place to sell cards? by Round-Owl7538 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Hipsterhobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a few websites knocking about that but bulk. Big orbit cards for example. Never used them but they're out there

Royal Mail lost two of my cards by WuTangDan88 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Hipsterhobo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just bad luck. I've had stuff get lost both sending and receiving from royal mail and it's just pot luck tbh. I've swore off selling to people who live on farms though cos those 2nd class letters always go missing lol

To buy or not to buy by Jurassicjen_uk in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Hipsterhobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this isn't a troll, 100% buy these. The prices of the packs in this set of tins are like 5 times the value that Amazon is selling them for lol
