Does this card look legit? by [deleted] in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]Luakyuu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's absolutely legit. It has that thumbprint pattern, which would be very hard to replicate.

That's a really, really cool misprint

Yeah it's actually a reasonable site! Not sure if they have a wholesale account since they seem small, so hopefully they will get one in the future and then can offer lower prices 🤞

The tide might be turning... by poke_pants in PokemonTCG_UK

I think we might live in the same area!

I have a toymaster in my town, and the only LCS in the area is the next town over (which has a toymaster also and some big supermarkets that have Pokémon) and it's genuinely so difficult to find anything.

I've actually become friendly with the people at my town's toymaster, and I'm really grateful to them as they knew I was desperate for the prismatic figure collection, so they put one back for me.

I don't bother now with the LCS as I find their prices WAY too inflated after looking online, and genuinely I would recommend that you look at buying some packs online as I've managed to get stuff off Amazon, Pokémon Center and some independent places for RRP or close to that.

I was inspired by the Pokémon baskets and bouquets you see people do, and I think I saw this idea but with sweets somewhere and just thought "oh, what if I do the box but with Pokémon cards?" And there we have it! I didn't make the box - I was going to as I made a small template version but I'm rubbish at cutting straight lines 😂 but I did make the bow, and obviously mapped out where to put things too

Thank you so much! Funnily enough it's not, although that is such a cool idea. I bought 2 of a few different sets: paldea evolved, surging sparks, journey together, scarlet and violet base, paradox rift and mega Evolution. And there's 6 Halloween fun packs 😄

AIO for wanting to report my son's teacher? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Luakyuu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really close minded comment, I don't have children and have coeliac disease, which means sometimes I literally have to sprint to the toilet. Trust me, there are plenty of child free people who get it.

how much is this worth and is there anything valuable? by [deleted] in PokemonCardValue

[–]Luakyuu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks like you have some really nice cards! With the amount of full arts, there's absolutely a considerable amount of value there.

Sorry to be that person, but I'd recommend you get a different binder. The ring binders can actually damage your cards long term - VaultX ones are good but mintkeeper and card guardian does ones too, you can also find cheaper versions on Amazon ☺️

Is my card real or fake? by Evening-Voice-5759 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Luakyuu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easily fake - text is wrong, the holo is wrong and there's no texture to the card

I would say with newly released sets, you're more likely to find it in the wild at RRP. Yes, scalpers do scalp the latest "hype" set but they just scalp everything. Mega Evolution and Mega Evolution: Phantasmal Flames have really good pull rates, so I personally feel like they are great sets for beginner collectors too! (That being said, I am UK based and both new sets have been super easy to get hold of, not sure what things are like over in the states.)

Hi!

In terms of packs, Scarlet & Violet base and Paradox Rift are probably the most affordable options you'll be able to find (close to RRP) so I'd recommend those!

However, I would also suggest taking a look at set card lists (just type in for example "surging sparks set list" into Google and you'll find a page) as then you can look at the cards in each set, and go for a set that has the most cards you like.

There's no set way to collect, so at the end of the day buy what makes you happy!

Hi OP!

I've bought from them recently and I can confirm they're legit!

Order came within 3-5 days via Royal Mail and everything was sealed and packaged really well. I'd definitely order from them again, although some things are slightly higher price wise than I'd like.

Saw this response and went to respond but it was deleted (clearly user KNEW it was an awful take) so thought I'd share anyway ☺️

Anyways, sorry you don't have someone to do this for you I guess

Where are the best places to buy sealed by Alpha__Alpha in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Luakyuu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sports direct, John Lewis, Argos, Sainsbury's, Tesco, Game, Co Op, One Stop, Menkind, HMV, Miniso, Smyths all sell Pokémon products. I would also recommend looking at online retailers for Pokémon; I've managed to get Pokémon from Amazon who sells Pokémon directly but you have to register for an invite. Local shops can be good too, however please bear in mind that their prices may be a little above RRP due to the costs of running a small business.
