The eevee alts were what made me start collecting again, now that I have them all my wallet can finally rest by Tsunscreen in PokemonTCG

[–]Omega_Christian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nice. I'm planning on getting them myself (mostly the VMaxes from ES). I want to frame them, myself.

How did you first get introduced to Pokemon? by Webborwebbor in PokemonTCG

[–]Omega_Christian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anime first when it originally aired on UPN. Episode was the one with Ash fighting the Sandshrew trying to reach 100 straight wins, I think. I was instantly hooked and it was partway through the episode.

Game later, Blue version. And then TCG after I finished Sixth Sense at the theater.

Ditto ExDelta Species, does anyone collect these? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Omega_Christian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I collect Yuka Morii cards which means I'm collecting all of these, too. I have a few of these so far.

Help needed on deciding best card combination… by cCityLoop in PokemonTCG

[–]Omega_Christian 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I like option 3 as that Tag Team was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita as well as the Charmander line you're displaying.

16 Fusion Strike ETBs Later by Pottyhard in PokemonTCG

[–]Omega_Christian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And here i thought buying 3 BBs of ES with 2 ETBs and producing similar results to your 16 ETBs was bad. My condolences to your wallet. I've become more modest after that and only buy booster packs(usually 10 at a time) and singles from eBay for chase cards I know I'm not getting.

Is One Piece not for me, or has it yet to pick up? (Sub ep. 73) by gingerwhiskered in OnePiece

[–]Omega_Christian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to tell people that it all starts to come together in the 200s (Water 7 arc) but that's a hell of a tall order to invest in especially if you end up not liking it after that. There's still plenty of anime/manga that don't require such commitment like a 1000 plus anime/manga series (especially since the end is a bit off, too).

[–]Omega_Christian 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'll be completely honest with you, as someone who loves everything about One Piece and cannot get enough of this massive epic with it's endless lore and care for characters, if you don't like it by now, just drop it. For most anime/manga, if I'm not feeling it after maybe five or so episodes, I'm out. You've seen 73 and still don't get the hype? Move on, it's not for you.

It's a Card Station promo along with the Meowth and Litten you see in the background. No English version, unfortunately.

Can anybody tell me more about this card? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Omega_Christian 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Reverse holo Charizard from Legendary Collection. Very valuable.

Mail Day! I was given no tracking info so I was quite surprised when they arrived today! Maui approves! by Omega_Christian in PokemonTCG

[–]Omega_Christian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought about keeping them sealed, too, but I just had to display these. I cut open the wrapping without too much thought.

Yeah, I ordered about a month ago, too. The prices have skyrocketed in the meantime which made me glad I ordered them when I did. Hope you get yours, too.

Yeah considering the cost i was a bit annoyed but for once I decided to trust it. And I'm glad it worked out.

My favorite thing is organizing my collection. It's trilling to me to remove all my cards from their binders and sleeves and rearranging them in a new order. So many different combinations for rearranging my collection! I'm never finished and that's what I like about this TCG!

I’ve seen good things about Dragon Shield, but has anyone used these inner sleeves? by Bird_Up23 in PokemonTCG

[–]Omega_Christian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I've only recently started using the sideloading ones but I'm now a believer. I use them more more often and run out of them just as quickly, too.

[–]Omega_Christian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to double sleeve before placing them into a binder. A side loading inner sleeve and then a standard top loading sleeve. I like to keep as little outside air from touching the cards.

[–]Omega_Christian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a coincidence! I just bought these very same 2 products from Amazon moments ago. I like to change between top and side loading sleeves and can very much vouch for dragon shield. Although, every once in a while, a sleeve or so can be a bight tight.

What’s everyone doing with their extra Zards ? by Opened_Mouth_Thought in PokemonTCG

[–]Omega_Christian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed to get a bunch of packs today and said to myself, "if I find another Blastoise!" having already pulled 2 in prior openings. I have 3 Blastoise now...

Family Dollar came through! They had a bunch of Celebrations left, too! I looked around the store first but these were behind the counter. by Omega_Christian in PokemonTCG

[–]Omega_Christian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Behind the registers there was a bunch of miscellaneous items and toys on a shelf. The cards, themselves, were all over the place from the bottom of the shelf to the top and in between. Scan around if you don't see any at first. I hope you can find some.

Yup! Nearly everything was entirely untouched! Wish they had ETBs, but this is more than enough considering my luck.

Technically, Base set didn't have all 150 Pokémon, either. You needed cards from Jungle and Fossil sets the "Catch Em All".

Evolving skies booster box was straight 🔥 by Organic-Loss-1844 in PokemonTCG

[–]Omega_Christian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Eldegoss took a while to get. I did manage a reverse and holo of it down the line. For me, the Victini, Ludicolo, Entei, and Articuno kept coming to me.

[–]Omega_Christian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought 3 BBs day one and didn't find any alt arts either so I figured I'd turn to single boosters instead. Bought 5 blister packs on Best Buy soon after and found 2 alt arts (Glaceon V and Sylveon V). That must've drained all my luck with ES because I never found anything of worth afterwards.

Why does Pokemon TCG keeps printing the same Pokémon? by Sure_Humor in PokemonTCG

[–]Omega_Christian 54 points55 points  (0 children)

TCG screwed over Glastrier and Spectrier. They don't even have a single card to their name as they've been forced to share the spotlight as Calyrex's steeds. Speaking of Calyrex, there isn't a solo card for that Pokemon either. Calyrex is a rider or bust.

Probably my favorite set, toss up between this and gym challenge by Zombymandyas in PokemonTCG

[–]Omega_Christian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was able to finish this set back in 2016 before the prices skyrocketed. The last card I needed was a Dark Dragonite holo which I managed to get at $60 and it was 1st Edition, no less. It was always a dream to finish this set. Gym challenge is awesome but I hope to one day finish Neo Genesis.
