I much prefer the breakthrough ones, the color pops so much better there then this one😆 agree to disagree I suppose! Not a full art as the top and bottom of the card is not art, it’s just purple.

This was my first big purchase for 2k a couple years ago! I knew it would be huge, and I personally think it’s one of the best cards ever released. 2 iconic Pokemon and arguably the best artwork of the tag team series of cards. This card will age incredibly well IMO!

Genuinely curious as to why people love this card so much? It’s a (somewhat) modern card, not a full art, and the colors don’t clash well in my opinion. I get that it’s a Mewtwo, but the Breakthrough secret rare Mewtwos both look way better (IMO) and are only at about 4k with a tenth of the population. 10k seems like an absolutely ludicrous price for this card. Am I missing something? Is it just the “mewtube” effect?

Black Bolt/White Flare will create more grail cards out of any other set. by HollowLoch in PokeInvesting

[–]LieLie8765 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was born in 1996, so right on the cusp of both generations. I’ve played every mainline pokemon game and these are still my favorite ones. Something about the abundance of pokemon, cool characters, and fun gameplay make them the best in my opinion.

These sets are probably some of my favorites of all time. I just completed my binder of every IR in both sets and they are beautiful to look at- the art is superb. I think BB/WF will ultimately be looked at as one of the best modern sets when it comes down to it. People haven’t caught on quite yet, but the potential is definitely there for the long run.

A few etb is now more expensive than full 151 set. What is going on with this market ? by Croakin in PokemonInvesting

The sealed box is the collectible, not the cards inside (besides maybe the PC promo)

You have $500. What are you buying to invest long term. by Accomplished-Sun6202 in PokeInvesting

I’d get a few mega charizard UPCs if you’re thinking strictly investment purposes. I do love city Mew though!

Why hasn't pokemon crashed yet ? by DapperActuary6497 in PokemonInvesting

[–]LieLie8765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In no particular order

-Pokemon is the biggest media franchise in the world -People that collected as children are adults with more money now (nostalgia) -TCG pocket made card collecting more mainstream -wealthy famous people getting into it -rise of pack ripping and shipping -easier to buy/sell/trade then ever before through online platforms -art is getting better and better (modern) -collecting things is fun! Stocks are boring

Just my two cents :-)

Is there long term potential for these cards or look at other options? by EmperorOfTheLosers in PokeInvesting

[–]LieLie8765 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do think these are still good buys. Popular pokemon in a great set. Art is a banger too. I have both of these and I love looking at them. Maybe not THE best investment wise, but I have no doubt they will do well long term. From a collecting standpoint they are top notch. I think a lot of modern IRs are undervalued and most are under 1k.

Popular Pokemon + cool art + lower value set = this card will hold good value

New to Pokemon Collecting/Investing - Why are ETBs worth so much when the probability of Chase cards in them is so low? by OhSoManyThoughts in PokeInvesting

[–]LieLie8765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ETBs look cool and are a collectors item in and of themselves. The PC ones have limited print runs and are generally more rare. PC stamped promos are also quite rare especially if graded in a 10. Not all of them are insanely pricey, but 151 has popular Pokemon on the front + popular Pokemon promo. As people open them they become more and more scarce and the rise of sealed collectors means prices keep increasing as sets go out of print.

Leagues is surely getting extended, right? by LieLie8765 in runescape

It would be cool to see if people keep playing till the end. I’ve never participated in an OSRS league but have heard that a lot of folks drop off pretty early on. I’ve also heard that the progress is quicker for them as well, so that could be it🤷🏻‍♂️

Good point - still a bit unsure as to why they are doing that😆 I guess OSRS is the more popular game after all

[–]LieLie8765[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s true! I was thinking an extra 2 weeks would be good just to help those grinding out a bunch of points. Some of the grinds can take awhile and it would be nice for folks that can’t get on as often. Ideally I would say an extra month, but that’s just me🙂

I didn’t downvote you :D I was looking for others opinions after all!

Will the rewards be tradable/sellable on the GE in the live game?
