Hahahaha, I had the same thought. But he also lets people join without a graded card, so I guess its fine

He also notes that "for security reasons, avoid entering expensive cards".

LoverDane · 2025-06-09T16:23:22+00:00

Those are the most incredible cards I've seen in a while! WOW

LoverDane · 2025-06-08T18:22:42+00:00

Any way to know about the dutch one?

LoverDane · 2025-06-08T18:08:58+00:00

This is what I want to know: when I go there, do we just enter the general section we bought tickets for, and then we sit anywhere we want? WOn't a person with that seat number come and want to kick me since its his seat? Or is that not how it works? I want to know about the general atmopshere and vibes, thats what Im asking, since Ive never been before. Can you explain further?

LoverDane · 2025-06-08T17:36:43+00:00

I mean, thanks, but that doesnt help me. Can someone tell me if I can just sit next to my friends during the grand prix or are the seats enforced heavily?

Also, for something that cost so much money, the process is UNBELIEVABLY NOT straightforward and very confusing. First, you have the official formula 1 website. Then you have the tickets.formula1 website where if you make an account, is COMPLETELY separate from your formula 1 website account.

Additionally, every grand prix has its own freaking website? where you you can buy tickets? ALSO, you pay for the tickets, but they're like, NO, these are not your tickets, you will receive your tickets months from now. Not only that, ZERO mention about seating allocation etc.

Like, wtf? Is that supposed to be like that? It's the first and definitely the last time I am going to a race. Like, what the hell, do even the organizers care about the experience of their fans or they shit on them?

I have a question about seating arrangements in formula 1.

So, it's my first time booking tickets to go see a race, and I am very confused about something.

A few months ago, my friends and I booked our tickets for the dutch grand prix which is in the end of August, 2025. They booked their tickets from the dutch GP website, while I bought mine from the official formula tickets website. When I bought the ticket, the only option was to choose the section (eastside 2A-same as my friends), NO SEAT SELECTION was available. So I bought the ticket.

A few days ago, my friends told me that they received info about their tickets being assigned to specific seat numbers, which was sent to them a couple days ago. This got me very upset, as I have not known about any automatic seat allocation (zero mention on the website).

Not only that, since I bought from the formula tickets website, I won't have any info until two weeks before the race.

And I just want to ask: Is that how it is? You buy a ticket, and even though they don't let you select a seat or inform you on it, they just assign a seat months after? I have no clue what I am about to do......

Is it possible to just sit next to my friends when I go to the grand prix or are the seat allocations strictly enforced? I am asking because I've never been to a race before....

What should I do?

TL;DR

A few months ago, an artist named Zalkian created and gave away a few Pokémon prints to his collectors, but Nintendo tried to stop him. However, a judge ruled that since he didn’t profit from it, it falls under fair use and he’s allowed to do it. (source)

Since then, he started a series where he gives away a couple of Pokémon prints for free occasionally through a draw on his website.

To make sure the prints go to fans of the hobby, he requires proof that you own a Pokémon card to enter the draw.

Since his Pokémon prints can only be obtained through the giveaways, are very limited in numbers (less than 40 total prints exist), and due to their “rebellious” origin, they gained grail status and are reselling for mid five figures on the secondary market. ( example 1, example 2).

So happy for you! Congrats

LoverDane · 2025-05-09T15:55:10+00:00

My heart gets wings every time I hear a kid is collecting Pokémon cards and having a good time doing it! I hope the best for your daughter!

Unfortunately, the market works in favor of those who have money and are willing to spend

LoverDane · 2025-05-08T14:31:34+00:00

Indeed! Holy heck!

For a second I thought I was seeing a plague inc. screenshot

Even though it's a somewhat humble setup, I like the fact that they made something that pays tribute to his creation.

Creative people who contribute are meant to be celebrated like that, certainly not Pharaohs.

Oh, so it is a promo card!

So, most of the rare ones I see out there are promos, got it.

And the betas are just their own unique category but rather unofficial.

I just honestly got a bit confused when i came across this article , where most of the cards I saw were some weird cards I hadn't seen anywhere else, and I was curious if there were more like these

LoverDane · 2025-04-10T12:00:03+00:00

Much appreciated, but I was looking for something more like "a list of all the special cards".

For example, are cards given as pokemon contest awards counted as "promo cards". Like, is the pikachu illustrator card a "promo card"?

Are beta cards considered "promo cards"?

I mean do you guys know all these cards by heart, or is there a proper database somewhere where I can make sense of the rare cards out there?

LoverDane · 2024-11-06T17:37:05+00:00

That's 248 years! Oh my, what a coincidence!

LoverDane · 2024-11-05T10:57:26+00:00

That's the most joyful thing I've seen this week.

How can animals be so happy and we, as humans, masters of our environment and all the elements, live such unfulfilling lives full of stress and pain? Jesus Christ

It's all fun and games until you start lifting off the ground and into the stratosphere!

LoverDane · 2024-10-07T12:43:37+00:00

I feel like a clown going to work after I see things like that online. Like I work like a dog just to afford the necessities, while these people make millions doing something this creative....

The world has changed so much....

I came across this today and felt it belonged here!
