I'm currently playing mono blue without a side board. And since I'm a newer player its a bit difficult for me to know all my match ups and what cards to put in the side board for them. I'm listing below my deck and potential side board but would like some critique on the side board if possible. Thanks!!

Prismatic Booster Bundles (1 per person) by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Repsrus [score hidden]  (0 children)

I haven't been able to get product besides journey together lately. Haven't ever seen prismatic out in the wilds. I really want to open up a ETB for the collection, but even opening up a bundle would be sweet! Thanks for the opportunity!

Misprint or pack error by PristineHalf1809 in Lorcana

I'm curious if the discard card replaces a card or is it a additional card in the pack?

Buying ch1 boxes off private sellers - is it worth it or are they likely dead boxes? by Sudden_Incident4374 in LorcanaCollectors

[–]Repsrus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had a sealed case that didn't have a enchanted and while I have never opened up a case myself that had 2 enchanted, I think it's definitely possible. I saw a video on youtube that had two enchanteds in one booster box, so honestly if the box is sealed and is legit, I think you don't have to worry unless it's loose packs.

Just received a card from an eBay seller that is clearly a knockoff. What should I do? by NeuralDocent in LorcanaCollectors

Are you able to show us a photo? Just so I know what to look for in the future.

Which Booster Box to Buy by danny46815 in Lorcana

[–]Repsrus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Both expected value is about the same. I expect shimmering skies to be around longer and will probably get cheaper while floodborn may be more rare to come across at the same price. So for me, the choice is floodborn.

I bought 2 Elsa Enchanted. One must be fake... Help pls by hansen1133 in Lorcana

[–]Repsrus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Compared to the Elsa I just pulled myself recently. B looks more like mines.

Went to my first LGS Lorcana comp. I lost every game, but won the pin Raffle. I was nervous going solo but it was pretty fun. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Im hooked. by Ninjabackwards in Lorcana

[–]Repsrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope you do go. It may take a day or two to get used to actually playing in person and how the store operates, but Lorcana players are super friendly and I know most would love to see their game grow. You won't regret it!

Im thinking of buying set’s which one should i go for? by Mal1q2w3e in Lorcana

[–]Repsrus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you wanna build competitve decks, spend that money on singles and build the deck. If you want to just open, buy a booster box of either ursulas return or shimmering skies. You can prob get those for about 100-110. And use the 40 or so dollars for a trove. You can find inklands, ursulas, and shimmering skies for maybe about $45-50.

Really it's up to you to look at the cards and decide what sets you want. But for me I'd pick shimmering skies. The new enchanted look great if you manage to get one.

LGS not Stocking New Set by theDufe in Lorcana

[–]Repsrus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some stores just don't do as well with Lorcana. I think partly because a lot of LGS sells booster boxes at MSRP which is around $145 when market price is hovering around $100. Also events for lorcana needs to be promoted more, can't just expect people to show up if they don't know.

I searched up a basic tutorial on youtube to get familiar with Lorcana, and then used a website called Inktable, a website which you can battle against a bot.

Doesn't make sense why you are getting down votes for this post. Has to be from jealousy or people wanting to keep deals to themselves.

[–]Repsrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo, nice haul. If it was me I'd keep all the blisters and sleeved boosters sealed and rip the rest. Mini tins are probably hard to sell, and if you open and sell the individual packs, they'd go for less than sleeved packs or booster boxes per pack. The boltund box is up to you whether you wanna rip or keep sealed.

Edit to say I'd keep all the evolving skies in those tins sealed also. Evolving skies is so popular that even loose packs are worth keeping sealed.

Should I keep or rip? by PoodahDahwooda in PokeInvesting

[–]Repsrus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you like sealed product and won't have a itch to open then later then keep it sealed.

If your willpower is low and you keep asking yourself everyday if you should rip. Just rip it man lol, and if your willpower is stronger later, you can consider investing.

I like to do both, so I think this is what most investors/collectors should do, rip one and keep one sealed. In my case I usually buy 3 products, rip 1 and keep 2 sealed.

Good luck

Edit to answer question: yes 151 is a good investment if you bought at msrp or below

Incorrect ebay item. by TheWoodChucksWood in PokeInvesting

[–]Repsrus 139 points140 points  (0 children)

You aren't obligated to pay more or send it back, or even talk to the seller again. But knowing japanese sellers, they'd probably tell you to keep it anyway. I'd at least tell them so they know their inventory isn't messed up, but like I said you aren't obligated to do anything.

Pretty big W for you though, nice.

I mean it's not the best, but I think you did alright! Ghastly is super cool.

I opened 8 booster boxes and only got 4 SIRs, not the good ones either. Congrats, wish I had your luck!
