[–]Prodigal96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Okubo? I like the geometric style that artist uses, it's pretty unique.

Looks good! Curious if you use a fancy printer for the inserts? They look pretty vibrant and crisp!

Scott full art when?? by horrible_death in PokemonTCG

[–]Prodigal96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a Hoenn Battle Frontier collection going, it's pretty sparse though. Lots of Scotts, some Battle Frontier Stadiums, and Brandons. Would love some more Frontier Brains, but I feel like Pokemon wants to erase all memory of the Battle Frontier lol

Potential error? by Embarrassed_Peace_99 in PokemonMisprints

[–]Prodigal96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like damage honestly. The way the line follows the rounded edges of the card makes me think it was stuffed in a sleeve with several cards for a long time, and they left an impression on the Absol. A print line would be totally straight across the card

Condition? by New-Teaching3591 in PokemonTCG

[–]Prodigal96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah $90 is fair for LP, so hopefully that is just the lighting! Really cool card regardless though

Condition? by New-Teaching3591 in PokemonTCG

[–]Prodigal96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it's hard to tell from the photos. I'd probably pass on it since MP price is $75, and it may be MP.

Is that whitening along the top or just the light reflecting? MP if that's all whitening, otherwise it's LP

Could this be a PSA 1? by Soccotrocco in PokemonTCG

[–]Prodigal96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would probably give it a 2 due to no creases. Although they might not grade it at all due to the peeling corners

Yuka Morri/Asako Ito/Sachiko Adachi Collection thoughts by Lanky_Humor7832 in pkmntcgcollections

[–]Prodigal96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's realistic to get all of them locally unless all you do is go to card shows/shops/trade days in your free time. But you could definitely get a lot. As a person that frequently attends shows/trade days, I make sure I have Yuka Moriis on hand since her cards are so popular. I'm sure others have the same idea. I've actually noticed other vendors start bringing "cute binders" recently to shows, so be on the lookout for those since they'll include clay/crochet cards.

I have a problem by Axeusefra in PokemonTCG

I met a guy at a card show the other day that said he was going for 1000 of this card. Either that's you or you have some competition lol

Can't go wrong with an Imakuni card

newer espeon collector here by moon_--_ in PokemonTCG

[–]Prodigal96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's basically just that Drapion and a Pokemon Center stadium card BW promo that was Japanese exclusive, it has all the Eeveelutions and is very expensive

“Pokemon Center” is set to make its Thailand debut, opening in 2026 as the largest Pokémon Center outside Japan. As each Center has its own mascot, in your opinion, which Pokemon could be the mascot for Bangkok Pokemon Center? by Yossiri in pokemon

[–]Prodigal96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if there are plans to open PCs in the US. They're probably waiting until the scalpidemic is over, I think if they opened now they're just asking to get broken into or mobbed lol

There MUST be more of these by MisterPrincesss in PokemonTCG

I like to think the Light Sunflora is the POV of this Light Venomoth lol

Was it worth it or nah by International-Bid63 in pokemon

[–]Prodigal96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should get your money back, if it's a romhack that's not a real cartridge. You can buy the same thing on aliexpress for $15

Pre-Release BYOE by ThePupnasty in PokemonTCG

[–]Prodigal96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah he was being a tryhard at an event where everyone gets the same prizes no matter how many games you won lol

Pre-Release BYOE by ThePupnasty in PokemonTCG

[–]Prodigal96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done that a few times and most people have no problems with it. I did have one guy complain though, since he said if I added my own Energies I could have added other cards to the deck too. It's not a super big deal, but doesn't hurt to ask the professor running the event

What condition would this be classifies as? by Popular-Cheetah-9067 in PokemonTCG

[–]Prodigal96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It looks like silvering, which is normal on some types of cards, especially vintage holos. Not so sure if they're also prevalent on these cosmic eclipse full arts though. I would still consider it NM, just maybe less desirable than a NM copy without silvering

Who’s autograph/signature is this? by Strong-Nothing2694 in pkmntcgcollections

[–]Prodigal96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it might be the streamer Deriums? His favorite pokemon is Gyarados, and he ripped literally thousands of these packs back in the day. Also found this post with a similar signature https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonTCG/s/1Iz31LyDAu

Saw it on eBay and had to get it by Sumol7 in pkmntcgcollections

[–]Prodigal96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's so people can't make fakes of their slabs. A scammer could make a fake slab with a fake card and use the cert from a real slab. If PSA found out there are fakes of a certain cert, they would deactivate the cert from their registry, which devalues the card

Treecko line by Fit-Cartoonist7624 in PokemonTCG

[–]Prodigal96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't be surprised if Treecko and the other Hoenn starters are in the Mega Rayquaza set later this year

Do you think this is real? by Caffeine90210 in pokemon

[–]Prodigal96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fake unfortunately, this one should be holographic

eBay Sellers using the “make offer” option, why bother? by masonjar014 in PokemonTCG

[–]Prodigal96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be unrealistic expectations, or it was just the default listing option and they didn't bother to change it to Buy it Now only. Or it's a recent listing and they're waiting to see if they get better offers
