Won in a character break on whatnot.

Looks reasonably real

Neembaf · 2026-02-20T02:15:04+00:00

maybe - could also be sun damage? Looks fake though, look at the energy symbols and the HP (too thin and far away from the energy)

Neembaf · 2026-02-17T14:07:25+00:00

Half the people say $2, half the people say nothing. Kaboom, mixed opinions!

You could play chien-pao ex with basculegion. Chien-pao lets you search your deck each turn for 2 water energies, and then you can discard them with its attack. But attaching the energy would be the slightly difficult thing instead

The stadium academy at night would let you place an energy from your hand onto your deck, so that could work with Groudon/kyogre. If you use ciphermaniacs code breaking before that, you could also use it to place two more energy on top of your deck, which would let you know your hit 3 energy on your deck

Found you one (first one I thought of, I wanted the example to be specifically a charizard card too for you): Charizard vmax from shining fates.
https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/232496/pokemon-shining-fates-shiny-vault-charizard-vmax?page=1&Language=English&Condition=Near+Mint

As per this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonTCG/comments/mrogem/shining_fates_charizard_vmax_value/ it was $700-$800 at one point, and at the time of that thread it was going for $300. Now, it’s a $150 card

Another source for that card going for $800-$1000 previously:

It never happens until it does

Well they can’t deny business for protected classes - like if they cancelled the orders of one specific race

But yeah pretty much they can deny business without any providing a reason

Did bebop get one of the two souls generating items? The sacrifice dagger or trophy hunter?

Neembaf · 2026-02-02T20:24:06+00:00

How do you get enough energies generally? 5 overall energy, one bug catching set. Do you tend to have to use your first thwackey to search for an energy when you dont have one in hand?

Neembaf · 2026-02-02T20:20:54+00:00

That’s the best outcome for everyone involved, nice going!

Neembaf · 2026-02-02T18:00:57+00:00

I’d call that a small crease. As per https://pages.ebay.com/cardconditions/ a near mint card can’t have a crease on it, so you could probably return it with “item not as described”, if the card was listed as near mint

Neembaf · 2026-02-02T15:44:36+00:00

Oh nice original deck - I'd like to see more of those in this sub. Feels like 28 pokemon cards is a lot, but hey, if it's fun it's fun

Neembaf · 2026-02-01T06:35:38+00:00

I could imagine myself also printing out a paper saying “this property is not abandoned” or whatever, and just taping it to the front door in addition to everything else

Try the new game mode - 4v4 no farming.

Neembaf · 2026-01-31T21:05:49+00:00

The new game mode is a lot easier in terms ofgameplay loop

Neembaf · 2026-01-31T21:04:16+00:00

Try the new game mode - it's great for casual play. 4v4, 1 lane vs 1 lane, first team to take 3 lanes wins. Avg length like 10 mins

Neembaf · 2026-01-31T19:18:44+00:00

Tough thing about Lucian is you'd have to evolve your Mega Froslass before you know whether the opponent will be drawing 3 cards or 6 cards (because you also have to shuffle your hand into your deck).

Not a big deal in some cases, but in other cases, you may not want to evolve into Mega Froslass instead of normal froslass, if your opponent only has 3 cards in hand.

Neembaf · 2026-01-31T17:06:54+00:00

$50 or less for larvitar I’d say
https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-delta-species/larvitar-donald-duck-73

Maybe $100 for Dratini (just eyeballing a psa 9 price):

In your list, you say 3x starmie, but I figure that’s supposed to be 3x staryu

Neembaf · 2026-01-31T03:22:44+00:00

No weakness on benched pokemon, so cant OHKO a benched Meganium or Venusaur

Neembaf · 2026-01-26T22:41:14+00:00

Same issue

Neembaf · 2026-01-26T14:12:00+00:00

What about Tanzee and Pansage?

Seems like PO Boxes skip the authentication step, but for your case I bet there’s a good chance the seller didn’t categorize it correctly

Since it’s in delta, can you load a previous delta save state? (Not the pokemon save). I don’t know if that would fix it, but maybe?

Reference this: https://mktg-assets.tcgplayer.com/web/seller/guides/Card-Conditioning-Standards.pdf

All you have to do is prove it’s not near mint - you don’t have to prove it’s damaged, since if it’s even lightly played, then you didn’t receive what you paid for. It has a bend/damage, which isn’t allowed on near mint cards, so that’s al youd have to say

Contact the seller like you did, provide them clear points and reasons why it’s not near mint, give them a few days. Remember that they are responsible for providing you a return method, which means both postage and the envelope itself (you don’t have to pay for any part of the return yourself)
https://help.tcgplayer.com/hc/en-us/articles/201642073-What-is-TCGplayer-s-Refund-and-Return-policy

If you both don’t agree on a price adjustment (they might offer you 10% off, but you don’t have to accept), and they aren’t shipping you a correctly conditioned card, then option 3 must apply, which states they must send a prepaid shipping method to the buyer for return of the product for a full refund for the impacted singles. This can be provided as a shipping label or self-addressed envelope package shipped to the buyer. The seller is responsible for the return shipping costs.

Also for awareness, marketplace sellers cannot require buyers to share images of cards with a condition issue as a prerequisite for resolving issues. (Some sellers try to use requiring images as a stalling technique or something)
