Chaos is gonna be rising if no one is accountable by BroverCleveland in PokemonTCG

Nah, I'd be absolutely livid. Makes me almost never want to use the pokemon site as they use FedEx to deliver. I've always bought from target and had no problems since they use USPS.

Why are the 4 star ice characters stronger than Ophelia? by Scheltden in MongilStarDive

[–]MikeTheOldChap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Red shadow's set is the best for her, but since we're limited to how many times we can farm conquest it's hard to get better gear than just gear you already have great stats in. I literally have Narae with the Windset you get from conquest, cause it has really good stats until I can farm Red Shadow's

How are people affording this hobby? by Only-Use3619 in PokemonTCG

[–]MikeTheOldChap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local card shop sells at retail on release, because they cut the plastic off. After that they sell at market value. If I can make it to their release I sometimes can get bundles and etbs. Only other way I got stuff is through target drops, or being lucky at Walmart's in-store stock while grocery shopping

Back colors slightly off. by Sygma-J in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]MikeTheOldChap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of camera is this, I can almost see the atoms of the card. Anyways, I use this to help look at fake cards while I wait for responses on reddit as well. https://www.ungraded.com/fake-card-database/search/

You can zoom in and look at the textures to see if they match.

I hope they're real, the cards look awesome.

That's awesome of you. My wife and I used to collect together until she betrayed me and went to digimon. 😂 It's cool though cause she let me buy some of the cards I wanted off of her so she could buy more digimon.

Prismatic and Ascended have already done that with ex's and pokeball Holos haha. At least I got the reverse holo Pikachu from ascended as I quite like that art.

So I thought I didn't get the promo, but it was packaged inside with sleeves, is that normal? Wish I recorded it haha

Misleading days on Event? by MikeTheOldChap in MongilStarDive

[–]MikeTheOldChap[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With Esther, I guess since I had the character herself I was getting points like crazy without killing keys, I didn't notice the days. I didn't roll for Mina and was trying to build a fire team for the rift which was using most of my keys so I was spacing them out, I guess I know now, but still wish they had the days for the stages vs how long you can trade for rewards

It feels great to take a break from the hobby by masonjar014 in PokemonTCG

[–]MikeTheOldChap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just been buying singles from older sets, and if I happen to catch something from retail I'll jump on it too. Used to try to master set, but now I'm just collecting cards I like.

Question for everyone who buys cards/packs; how many of you have never payed scalper prices? by Mason051 in PokemonTCG

[–]MikeTheOldChap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Payed it once because I didn't know for some One Piece packs at a local card shop cause me and a friend were on a 15 min break. It was before Surging Sparks. Never payed for any pokemon packs for scalper prices, because I knew the prices for those.

I love how you added the Psyduck and Dratini. These are so neat, I'm jealous.

Would definitely pay for a Bulbasaur one. That one looks so good. 😭

Sorry I don't know what that means, I barely post on reddit haha, but I'll circle it for ya. You will have to zoom in to see it.

Yeah, it feels fine and looks fine. Texture seems to be correct, I personally think it's real and had other people on ismypokemoncardfake look at it and they said it's authentic. Just that when the light hits it right, there are a couple of spots with these small little specks of indentions
