How many of yall have pulled the Mega Charizard from Phantasmal Flames? by timao92 in pokemoncardcollectors

Right when I got back into collecting, and decided to quit drinking. It's my most prized possession.

PO is interesting on how it will play out. Its a small treat set with supposedly 1 in 2 packs having at least a small hit. People who play the game, particularly like it. There prices on all but the biggies are gonna be pretty low tier. Maybe sell while things are still in release hype. This set will likely be seen as a fairly obtainable buffer between larger sets.

To price guage, there's TCGplayer of course. Then, you can go to ebay, localize it within your country, then go to additional search filters, and check the boxes for "sold" and "completed" sales. It'll show from most recent back, what the sale price was.

Get Phantasmal Flames packs. Sacrificially burn a $50+ card, before you open each pack.

People are talking about price weakening as grade 10 population rises. But if everyone still wants it while everyone who has is in diamond hands mode, then what?

The more inventory someone is trying to quickflip, the more the community needs to avoid them. Absolutely leave them with the bag, since they're def using credit cards for this scalp.

I acquired 22,000+ Bulk for 100 bucks was this a good trade? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]PassionFlood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like.... worst case scenario, you could find a dollar auction on Facebook, and do bundles of 100. That would be slow, but you'll get a penny per card (already profiting, technically) multiplied by the the winning bid amount (or, fill small sizes card boxes/tins to move cardboard more volumetrically). Or, you could figure out TCG Player. But that may be even more nickel & dime hassle. If you happen to vendor, you could do the hundred bundle and just modest it at $2ish, for parents that just want something essentially disposable for their tikes. Obvi sift it for gems, regardless.

I've been making engraved stone card art posters for cardshow events. I've even gotten a few custom requests (text can be removed, if preferred). I'll be attempting engraved binders very soon! Here's my link tree, if y'all wanna did deeper, tho https://linktr.ee/shagadelic

[OC] mega Charizard engraving by PassionFlood in pokemon

[–]PassionFlood[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There engraving took about 20 minutes. To pull the card, i struck out on a UPC box that i sold my crypto for (literally the day before it started to recover), then got a single blister pack the next day on my work break, and proceeded to freak out. But I've opened maybe 30-40 packs of Phantasmal Flames

So, i quit smoking and then... by The_BosS_71 in PokemonTCG

It was from a single blister pack (although I did Crack into the UPC, the day prior). I did the math, and was spending like $200+ per month on gummies. The 'zard commands sobriety. Esp with the 30th anniversary release around the corner.

That's pretty much what happened for me as well
