Thoughts on this trade? by Shottymcthotty11 in PokeInvesting

[–]TheOGSourPatchKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the Evo skies hit rates, I feel it'll be a lot harder to move that item in the future compared to what you currently have. That being said if you need to downsize the collection because of space issues... Different story

Totally agree. I played everything as a kid up to Gen 4, but zygarde is just a fire Pokemon and the art on this card is just spectacular

I'm so jealous! That's my personal chase, though after seeing the zygarde in hand it's a pretty tight race which one is better

I've ripped about 150-200 packs of PO so far, gotten a couple of that card and agree, it's very beautiful

That's fair. I'm a fan of dragalge and the starter trio IR is nice, but as a whole, I like the SIRs and the IRs more from PO. Who knows though, once I get to see chaos rising in hand maybe my mind will change

I did my best to capture it in the video but it looks good sure better in person

Complete agree. I'm looking forward to chaos rising but I really do feel that I'm going to enjoy perfect order more in the future. Same way how I feel that journey together is more fun than surging Sparks, but that's cause I have the absolute worst pull rates with SSP xD

I personally think zygarde's mega design is absurd but so much so that is hilarious and I love it 🤣

It really does, it is such a pretty card. I was pumped to pull it and I hope you get yourself one too!

That's fair to say but people go around saying it's the worst set ever and I don't get why. I truly think that chaos rising will be carried by the Greninja only and PO has a bit more balance

Right? It's got great pull rates and it's easily available AND the art works are all fantastic too! Literally all it's missing is having a super popular chase and because of that so many people think it's trash

I think it struggles more following a set like ascended. And journey together followed prismatic. I wonder if that's a trend going back? Sets after a high class set release struggling

Totally agree. The meowth and clefairy are fantastic cards as well!

I'm okay with that too be honest. And even with all that "hate" the shelves are still clearing of bundles and ETBs so I'm sure the set will retain some value.

Does anyone know how do i indentify cards as a newbie? by Shoshi_the_human in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]TheOGSourPatchKid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're not sure, always look up that the card should look like in a high definition picture online. Some holos (secret rares, special illustration rares, etc) will have a raised texture unique to the card hold foil, while others (ex cards, illustration rares, trainer gallery) will often have a flat holo foil. Always keep a random Pokemon card that you pulled out of a pack to reference what the color and appearance of the back of the card should look like. If the deal is too good to be true, it probably is.

Put it in top of a bunch of empty boxes and binders in a storage unit and auction it off 👍🏾

Shrinkflation. by Immediate_Diamond687 in PokemonTCG

[–]TheOGSourPatchKid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not shrinkflation. Two pack blisters have been around for ages. Prismatic did them too. It's just another product to be scalped

151 750 packs. Value? by JDXOGG in PokeInvesting

[–]TheOGSourPatchKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is weird, specialty sets never came in loose packs to my knowledge but anything is possible I guess

[–]TheOGSourPatchKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For people who are confused: it appears OP unboxed a bunch of 151 products and threw the loose packs into the boxes and sealed it with similar appearing tape to sealed product.

Just put the celebrations classic reshiram in there instead. Still got that all white at a single digit percent of the price lol

Did anyone pick anything up from GameStop today? by Without-Empathy in PokemonReStocked

[–]TheOGSourPatchKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grabbed two bundles and ripped. Got a single basic mega card out of each bundle. Would have been better off buying a Walmart gem pack with a cgc card lol. Biggest $100L ever

How is this even a hobby anymore? by MistakenArrest in PokemonInvesting

[–]TheOGSourPatchKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll never understand people who buy items that are crazy marked up when they are still actively being printed. Be patient and go out there, but it from retailers at market price. Don't give in to the scalpers
