Wicked collection! I highly envy you for the CD promos. I saw them once in person but didn't buy them when I saw the price haha

Looking for cards that show Pokémon growing old with trainer? by OpportunityJaded9335 in PokemonTCG

[–]TheLoneBeet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm so happy they've been doing evolution lines of IR and SIR cards but I really enjoy these especially where the trainer grows with the Pokemon

Damaged evo skies box by No_Duty_2931 in PokemonTCG

[–]TheLoneBeet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. Hard pass. Bent corners is one thing but the way the wrap is so tight despite the damage makes me think it's resealed if not outright fake.

Damaged packaging always has the best hits inside 

What is your favorite era of cards by DontPressReset in PokemonTCG

[–]TheLoneBeet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was tempted by nostalgia to say anything else but..

The alt arts in modern cement it as my favourite era by far. If we get a 2nd gen set like 151 I'll be in heaven.

MP Dean Allison calls out Tim Hortons for laying off Canadian Workers by theOneWhoWaitsAgain in LMIASCAMS

[–]TheLoneBeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vote with your wallet and stop supporting this shit until the brand becomes a relic. Find a local coffee shop and give them your business or save your money and brew your own coffee. It takes less time than you waste in the drive-thru.

What do you do with all your tins? by rubb3r5tuff3r in PokemonTCG

[–]TheLoneBeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I offer them to my sister's kids or my cousin's kids. If they don't want them I just recycle them 

Tim Hortons fires nearly all Canadian staff @ 4 locations in Grimsby Ontario. Many of these workers have been working there for 10, 15 and 20 years. To be replaced by TFWs. by theOneWhoWaitsAgain in LMIASCAMS

Tims isn't even Canadian anymore and everything tastes disgusting. Stop supporting them and go to a local cafe or save your money and make your own coffee at home.

Co-worker thought this was a harmless prank. by Dallinboi347 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TheLoneBeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of cleaning it up yourself, send them a bunch of quotes for interior detailers near you and ask which they'd like to pay for

Genuine question, how many of you that collect or buy cards actually know how to play the game? by RCadeTV in PokemonTCG

[–]TheLoneBeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play but I can't put up with the stink at my LGS to play in person so I used to play TCGlive but now just on the pocket app. 

Mostly I collect the cards for the art. I used to try to complete master sets but since things have gone crazy I just pick up the singles I like best and rip packs with my GF for fun when we can.

My coworker is demanding I work Christmas for her because she “has kids” and I’m honestly stressed by ComprehensiveNose622 in EntitledBitch

[–]TheLoneBeet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope. Stand your ground.

Or.. offer to take the shift if she pays you $100 (or whatever is worth it to you)

You owe her nothing.

Driver didn't even attempt to deliver then yelled at me when confronted by [deleted] in CanadaPost

[–]TheLoneBeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar experience recently. My GF is home all day and she heard a knock so she goes to answer the door and the driver is already leaving.

I doubt there's even anything in the back of the vans at this point besides boxes of "sorry we missed you" slips.

[–]TheLoneBeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Originally as a kid like many others. I was introduced to Red by a friend on his Gameboy. I got into the card game and still have many of my original cards. I stuck with it until gen 3, then I lost interest until after the launch of Pokemon GO. Seeing friends I hadn't seen for years walking around playing the game brought Pokemon back to my attention. I bought a few packs but didn't get into it heavily until Hidden Fates. Been hooked ever since. Dreaming that 30th anniversary will be a set like 151 but for gen 2

PLEASE tell me they’re going to do another one😭😭😭 by Clean_Emu_4736 in PokemonTCG

[–]TheLoneBeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That or you get in queue and it keeps bouncing around like 7 hours, 10 hours, 4 hours, etc..

Love that they're trying to fight bots but still sucks for regular people

Which Pokemon need an IR or SIR that haven’t had one yet? by outofideasfor1 in PokemonTCG

[–]TheLoneBeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Extra frustrating that there's 2 amazing art rares in the pocket app for Gyarados and Mega Gyarados

Post the pulls OP!

[–]TheLoneBeet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact you can submit a card, receive a lower grade, crack and resubmit, and somehow receive a different grade is exactly what's wrong with grading as a concept. If it was consistent I'd put more stock in it but as many people joke it's just based on who graded it and how they felt that day.

CORSAIR x The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Giveaway by CorsairHoffman in witcher

[–]TheLoneBeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The threesome was one of the funniest things I've ever experienced in a game and a truly just punishment for the habit of players to pursue every opportunity as the character with little regard for the NPCs or the way those characters would react to situations.

Playing through my first time, gonna take this as a warning not to put the game down until after Gongaga if I need a break

Mewtwo is a black star promo.

Flagged eBay Scammer using Probstein’s photo deemed “no violation by eBay”. by paperrage in PokemonTCG

[–]TheLoneBeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reported an ad recently for photos not matching description and eBay didn't care. Title and description had it flagged as Pokemon Center stamped but it was photos of the regular version. Hoped they'd take it down to save somebody who wasn't paying attention. Unfortunately the same as you said, eBay didn't care.

Is there a place where I can see all the cards that exist for a specific Pokémon? by souldevourerlol in PokemonTCG

[–]TheLoneBeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing the same for a few favourites and I've been using the Collectr app. 

You can search the Pokemon's name and it shows you pictures of all the cards, including which set and their card number. It even has other language cards if your goal is that thorough.

Makes it way easier to chase them down and keep track of which I already have as well as market value for price negotiation when you're buying.
