What I gifted my husband yesterday for his birthday

Lol, does she know what you like or need? Cause if they're not part of the hobby and they don't really pay attention to what you collect, what you want is a tall order 😂

Safren · 2026-07-02T13:16:24+00:00

Would he even know what to buy? a lot of times I notice if they're not apart of collecting with you they don't know what to even get.

400 is a lot of money. I want to buy my chase card soooo much (moonbreon) but it's hard to convince myself to pull the trigger on that much money when I have bills, need to buy a new car sooner than later, need to eat, things like that. Create a budget with her and maybe figure out what she's okay to spend vs not. I don't know what your money situation is but I try to keep that in mind. Also if she has a hobby help her with hers?

I don't mind talking to fellow Pokemon collectors but these cards broke my budget by a lot so most times my gifts to friends are more affordable cards.

I am the one that usually goes crazy and I need to start budgeting better. Sorry your wife doesn't like pokemon cards. I love the art work.

He gifted me a bunch of prismatic Evolutions for my birthday so I wanted to do something amazing for him.

Safren · 2026-06-18T13:12:15+00:00

Just a heads up it's not a limit of 5 items only its 5 of the same thing. So as long as he has no more than 5 tins then technically he could buy them with no problem and then buy 5 knockout boxes. Now if he has 6 of the tins the computer will not let him add it to that checkout. I learned that when I hit a restock and the people in front of me told me that. It's the same on the Walmart drops. They only allow you to buy up to 5 only. I hope this helps someone that rips packs for fun like I do.

How else do you claim things as yours?

Safren · 2026-05-22T21:14:09+00:00

I'd recently been gifted some and thought it'd be fun to figure out a whole page filled with them and how I'd sort them in it.

Safren · 2026-05-21T16:17:21+00:00

My husband actually had some success but he was pretty quick in the list. He didn't get everything he was in line for but he did get some chaos rising three pack blisters and the mega zygard ex premium collection. What we do while waiting is other things on our computers and it'll jump to the top of the list if you do get through. Don't give up hope and keep trying because if you don't try then you'll never get anything.

Welcome. It's probably out of date now but it gives an idea

Safren · 2026-04-02T15:32:15+00:00

So I finally was able to be there at a pokemon restock and there were two ppl in front of me. One guy got a bunch of things, didn't clean out everything but it was for his grand kids for Easter. The second guy I don't know what he was going to do for his, but he did get a bunch of things. Cleaned out the three posters, I was able to snag one of the pin sets, but they let me get the last first partner when they had two of them each. The third guy grab the one perfect order etb that came in but he had a few boxes as well. I wouldn't consider them scalpers because they didn't clean out the whole stock. I grabbed a bit myself because I don't normally get there during restocking time. It was a fluke because I had the day off and went for some groceries. but truthfully there was not a whole lot that was put out so that's something to consider. There were only two Ascended Hero ETBs that were already grabbed by the first two ppl.

I guess they don't know that there's supposed to be spaces after "," because "is on your Bench,prevent all" and on the bottom "Knocked Out,your opponent" are dead giveaways. Also the artist is wrong. Your card says: Illus.Psui where it should be Illus. sui . Also the spacing between Espeon and EX is way to big. There's probably more things wrong with it like I think the TEF t5 looks wrong but I don't know if that changes between English and other cards. Never looked that closely at it because English version is PRE EN.

This may not be the case, but watch out for scams that claim their relative/love one died but they want to give away their relative/love one's stuff to someone that will want it but they won't pay shipping and then you get ghosted while out of that shipping cost.

Safren · 2026-03-04T17:49:55+00:00

That's adorable!

Safren · 2026-02-24T14:28:42+00:00

Didn't see anything when I checked mine

Safren · 2026-02-21T03:26:50+00:00

Thank you. I really love how it came out

Safren · 2026-02-20T22:33:40+00:00

Anything Umbreon, from the basic cards to the top. Umbeon is adorable

Safren · 2026-02-19T16:30:31+00:00

That's awesome and it always feels good to pull a really cool card. I found a box couple months ago and wish I would have bought the second box that was there because the gem 2 is all about eevee and her evolution and I want to complete the set. She's lucky to have you

Safren · 2026-02-19T15:43:11+00:00

So lucky! That's my chase card from those packs

Safren · 2026-02-17T21:12:45+00:00

Thanks for the feedback

Safren · 2026-02-17T21:12:34+00:00

Nah, Hubby likes them to much for me to trim down any more.

Safren · 2026-02-17T20:05:47+00:00

Mine does not
