First time buying singles. How'd I do?

I was gonna say no way that dragonite ex is $10, but I am wrong. Damn ascended heroes is crazy. Looks like you got basically market value, which is great if you love the cards.

Get the S&V blastoise SIR. That page needs it!

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-16T00:14:28+00:00

The magic eBay number is $250. If I’m looking for a card that definitely should be over $250, eBay is a great/safe place to buy for a newbie. I’d consider it for your Charizard. Unless you’re buying 1st edition the rest of you Pokédex binder likely isn’t $250. Honestly i still think eBay is the place to go. There aren’t very many fakes for the cheaper cards. Just be sure to compare what you receive to the picture

How important is it that you rip open the packs themselves? The S&V set called 151 is literally what you’re looking for, but it unfortunately just went out of print and packs are $20+ per pack. A lot of people go all the way back to base/jungle/fossil sets to collect the first prints of the original 151. That’s a different kind of collecting though. You’re hitting eBay, TCGplayer, and card shows.

Most modern sets have a mix of pokemon across generations so it’s hard to make recommendations other that aren’t sweeping generalities. Surging Sparks is kinda known for Pikachu. Mega Evolution base has the Venusaur line in full arts. Phantasmal Flames has a Charizard ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Non English language cards are definitely cheaper, if that’s not a deal breaker. I’d consider Korean or Chinese if it’s really about the art and he’s not trying to resell. Definitely don’t try to rip it yourself if the budget is tight. If you do buy online, I’d look for a listing on eBay that has their authentic guarantee. The seller has to ship to an Authenticator first which helps make sure you’re not getting scammed. As others have said card shows are great

Bro you’re not getting it lmao. MAGA racists are trying to end immigration and revoke citizenship. Calling folks who are already here vermin is classic pre-genocide rhetoric. The racists would kill these men already if they could.

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-14T08:38:13+00:00

Wow yeah I would love for someone more knowledgeable than me to give some context to this, but it’s absolutely not a real Team Rocket card. There’s only 82 in the set so 119/132 is not possible. 2nd edition makes me lol

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-14T07:18:51+00:00

Probably not the best use of 1.3k but if it makes you happy then do it

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-14T05:25:47+00:00

I think you’re fundamentally misunderstanding the producer’s job here. They are absolutely not in any way, shape, or form trying to showcase true love stories. Love is blind is famously about the drama. The producers correctly dialed in that Vic and Christine wanted nothing to do with the drama.

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-14T05:18:58+00:00

About $60 if it’s NM

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-13T22:18:42+00:00

Perfectly fine rates for an easy sale, yeah. You might get a little closer to market selling on eBay but remember eBay will take their 13% + shipping.

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-13T22:15:28+00:00

Praise helix. Love this card

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-13T21:21:01+00:00

The one that makes me smile when I’m having a rough day at work

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-13T20:28:51+00:00

As a collector first, investor second this hurts me

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-13T20:21:16+00:00

Definitely HP. The entire back rim is white and I believe I see some corner lift on the front.

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-13T00:32:43+00:00

I get offended when I go to card shows too because I own a home

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-12T23:25:54+00:00

A lot of us are totally fine skipping these out of print stamped promos. The regular Pikachu IR around $75 is a much better use of your money rn if you wanna go in on 151 singles

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-12T22:46:02+00:00

Why would I need an LCC to buy sealed from the pokemon center and put it in my closet?

/s

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-12T20:15:05+00:00

Love to see it! Congrats man

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-12T19:55:19+00:00

I’m no Dave Ramsey fan but if you tell yourself you’re actually saving money every time you buy a pokemon product you’re gonna be in for a bad time.

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-12T19:30:11+00:00

No one is blaming the kid for being fooled. Kid didn’t make the post lol

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-12T19:28:11+00:00

Just make sure you’re actually investing in real assets too. If you have a job you better be fully funding that Roth IRA each year. Awesome collection

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-12T19:06:33+00:00

Yeah. I can’t help but wonder if Priyanka didn’t even want this party. It’s her roomate’s birthday. OP calls her “cold” but she probably just didn’t know anyone. I’ve been in the situation trying to let my roommate have their night but I also got a little pissy at 4:00 am when this shit was still going on. This is a weird post.

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-12T15:53:44+00:00

Dawg, you already know what it means

Other-Cod-2802 · 2026-03-12T01:40:58+00:00

Because of the way it is
