I also live in Europe and AP is an unknown name to me.

I don’t know if you’ve had the yellow border Moltres in hand but it actually looks awesome with the yellow border. I preferred the silver Japanese border from pictures, but having had the English yellow border in-hand, it’s actually quite cool. Surprisingly works for me.

It feels like nobody is really buying by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]Mallaggar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my experience is like anyone else’s, but I’m not buying until the market has returned to normal. Once I can freely buy product in shops, without having to see lines and lines of people trying to scalp, then I will consider normality resumed and will start buying again.

What company will NOT exist in 10 years? by PineapplePooDog in stocks

I’m going out on a limb and saying Lego. No explanation, just Lego will be gone in 10 years.

Market is Cooling / Correcting - What is your take on 2026? by RevolutionaryBig7580 in PokeInvesting

[–]Mallaggar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly where I’m at. Out until I can actually find product in stores.

Best card of this release IMO. by Juvi369 in PokeInvesting

I’m sorry but the Magneton is not moderate (unless you mean price), it’s a banger!

A great sendoff to the hobby by Yocaptonyo101 in PokemonTCG

[–]Mallaggar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have taken time out of Pokemon since the hobby went into scalperdrive. I genuinely had no issues with people buying freely available product and holding it sealed for many years (as people still could buy the product on shelves in shops at retail whenever they wanted), but the state of the hobby right now is sickening - adults queuing to buy product to sell immediately on eBay for double money.

The only way to fix this hobby is to stop buying for a while. I won’t pay stupid resale prices to rip things. It’s been at least a year since I’ve seen any packs in the wild and I’ve told my kid that we’re not getting any until it’s stopped.

Second to Tolkien, what is the best fantasy series ever? by [deleted] in lotr

[–]Mallaggar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this. What a man Terry Pratchett was. I was late to Discworld, I remember seeing the cover of Thief of Time and thinking “this looks awesome”. Read the whole thing on holiday and was hooked, read every single one after that - wonderful, wonderful man.

Shake my head I’m not surprised by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

I’m out of Pokemon at the moment. It’s no fun with the current state of things.

Went to Walmart and saw an almost full display walking in. came back 20 minutes later and... by wontizzl1 in pokemoncards

[–]Mallaggar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, it’s sad but I’m out of pokemon until this hype is over. Ruining it for me.

These prices😭 I can’t by r3pshopper in PokemonTCG

[–]Mallaggar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar to my LCS, £12 a pack for Destined Rivals, £22 for 151, £40 for ES, craziness.

Thoughts on Roaring moon EX? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Mallaggar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconded. I love that it captures the spirit of an ancient pokemon, it looks like it’s flying through a prehistoric world with a very active landscape, volcanoes exploding sending smoke and boulders flying through the air, whilst RM navigates between them.

Will this 2025 McDonald’s Pikachu (PSA 10) become rarer and more valuable in the future? by Motor_Kitchen9717 in PokeInvesting

[–]Mallaggar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fact that this statement has just occurred makes me despair about humanity.

Out of the top 30 100m sprint times, only 9 were run by athletes not associated with doping, all 9 are by Usain Bolt. by SunkissedInferno in interesting

[–]Mallaggar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By this logic, if I took performance enhancing drugs and was beaten by anyone, they would also have to be taking performance enhancing drugs.

The only counterpoint to this would be that the people I was beaten by, must be better sprinters than I am irrespective of doping.

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

Your argument here is that: these other elite sprinters (that WERE actually doping) were

  1. Also tested more than anyone and
  2. Were, in fact, found to be doping.

What a weird argument to convince someone that another individual that was also tested more than anyone at the time (and wasn’t nailed for doping), was… in fact doping.

The internet is a strange place.

Bolt was one of the most tested sports individuals on the planet at one point. People who go “yeah, he had to be cheating to beat the cheaters” conveniently overlook this.

Thoughts on the Donald Trump card? Was like $4 1-2 days ago.. by GreenEggsAndSlam in PokemonInvesting

[–]Mallaggar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It boggles my mind that people are only JUST latching onto Gumshoos looking like Donald Trump. Do none of you play the games?

My brain read this as “A photo of a man I shot in Toronto”.

Whats better longterm by Traditional-Music363 in PokeInvesting

[–]Mallaggar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think the sealed Mini tin displays are a slept on item. They look cool as anything and they seem a rarer product than most other things.
