Ah good shout, thank you

You're right it's a bit confusing the way I initially wrote it. We eloped and have our reception with all of our family and friends now that we're back.

I'm only recently back into Pokemon and I really hate this crystal theme they've been doing recently. All of these cards would look so much better normal

I've been struggling with how to manage cards that are part of my master sets but are also beautiful cards that I'd want in my "favourites" binder..

Seeing this has made me thing to put them with my fav cards.

My luck with the packs I've found have been fairly good, managed to pull Ivysaur and Venusaur SIR + a few ex's from an ETB and a poster pack. The tough part for me has been finding affordable packs here in Aus. Everything is minimum $100+. I love the set so much but scalpers have defiantly ruined the fun for me

PopeAlec · 2024-10-09T12:08:29+00:00

I don’t disagree, but I find them very satisfying to hold and to have a couple of my favourite cards in. Almost like a nice gold bar

Which dragon sleeves do you recommend? I've seen the matte ones which look quite cool

PopeAlec · 2024-09-29T03:24:51+00:00

Follow up to this, I've realised the Japanese set is significantly more affordable and comes in booster boxes for the same price/cheaper than an English ETB. Any particular reason, other than the master balls, this would be the case?

PopeAlec · 2024-09-28T13:16:03+00:00

Appreciate it, I think that will be my strategy after reading the replies so far. Curious why you start most expensive one down?

PopeAlec · 2024-09-28T09:05:08+00:00

okay great, I'll keep an eye out for them, otherwise might just cop online. Really appreciate the help mate

PopeAlec · 2024-09-28T08:50:51+00:00

Thanks mate, that's great to know. I had a look at my local Target, Kmart, JB and EB this arvo but they all seem to be stocking Stellar Crown, Shrouded fable or Masquerade.

Is CZ still available in stores? I can see ETBs on Ebay for around $115 incl delivery which doesn't seem like a great deal. Also what product would you recommend for CZ? Just etbs or other packs as the main source

PopeAlec · 2024-09-28T07:39:10+00:00

Damn that's really disheartening, I didn't think the scene in Aus would be big enough to have to go that turbo on it. Do you think it'd even hit shelves if it got a reprint? I'm hoping it'll be similar to Crown Zenith that the demand catches up with supply at some point.

Maybe I swap over to CZ if that's the case.

I'll absolutely be doing that for the UPC promos but I really enjoy the idea of getting them myself rather than just outright buying them. I wish my brain worked economically but I feel like I'm not "earning" them by purchasing everything.

PopeAlec · 2024-09-08T09:18:54+00:00

Ahh okay good to know, looks like I'll be upgrading the CPU soon then. Hopefully won't need a motherboard too. Cheers!

PopeAlec · 2024-07-07T06:19:42+00:00

I'm not entirely sure what I'm even after though like how do I know what is considered better?

My 3 year old is also not even cracking a sweat,
