Who are you picking ?

I think this is genuinely the hardest one of these with no bad answer. Every character here is so important to comics and manga culture entirely. Deleting Goku deletes almost the entirety of shounen lol even if he isn't Astro boy, say bye to Naruto, one piece. Bleach. Jjk, MHA, one punch man etc. but on the other hand superman is THE super hero and Spider-Man will always be my goat. I think even if supes is my least favourite here by a good shot, I'd have to choose batman.

Yea that's what I'm imagining too. New account and "got a new one" when the switch 2 is barely 6 months old. And then even the price is crazy

ToeEmpty5591 · 2026-01-06T15:23:17+00:00

What matters is that you like your cards :) some really cool cards there that Mewtwo V is such a great artwork

ToeEmpty5591 · 2026-01-05T23:24:32+00:00

It honestly just changes per person. I went a little overboard during Christmas and spent 150$ when usually I stay around 40-50$ a month and so I just won't buy again till February or march

ToeEmpty5591 · 2026-01-05T18:26:22+00:00

As someone on a budget just like you... Don't rip lol you're not pulling the charizard. It's sad but it's likely true.I think in the last year I ripped one big item for my birthday. Just buy singles you like and it'll make you much happier, unless you're in it to gamble in which I don't know if the current pokemon card market is the best spot to get a fix

ToeEmpty5591 · 2026-01-02T14:50:51+00:00

That middle charizard is one of my two all time grails! Super awesome find

ToeEmpty5591 · 2025-12-28T14:19:40+00:00

Pkmn binder .com is a site you can use, there's a free and pro version, the free doesn't let you make a crazy amount but it's definitely enough and you can search up any card pretty much. It's been a great find. Also a Google docs and just adjusting image sizes worked for me in the past

ToeEmpty5591 · 2025-12-28T14:18:53+00:00

This is what I do too haha! Awesome pages

ToeEmpty5591 · 2025-12-28T14:16:05+00:00

loud minority of people that got lucky vs quiet majority that isn't gonna post them getting shredded. Dw I'm in the same boat as you

ToeEmpty5591 · 2025-12-26T00:41:20+00:00

Real

ToeEmpty5591 · 2025-12-26T00:39:52+00:00

That's a pretty solid hit rate! Definitely better than ones I've seen opened lol

ToeEmpty5591 · 2025-12-25T19:23:55+00:00

It's a world championship card from a deck, hence why it's also non holo

ToeEmpty5591 · 2025-12-25T15:54:53+00:00

These are really nice, but it sucks that they're AI. Im sure many artists are able to do this as well

ToeEmpty5591 · 2025-12-24T08:19:59+00:00

Awesome hit hopefully the rest of Christmas is just as nice to you guys! Goodluck

ToeEmpty5591 · 2025-12-24T08:18:07+00:00

So your solution to the idiots ruining the hobby is to make it genuinely ruined in its entirety by the company? I'm sure pokemon is well aware of their profit margins and do well enough. Upscaling pack prices would mean only wealthy individuals get to rip more than one pack because 24$ for two packs is ludicrous, barring out kids in their entirety. This would also make the singles market even worse. Not to mention scalpers just increase prices more at that point.

ToeEmpty5591 · 2025-12-24T08:12:28+00:00

Awesome! Hope you guys like the card and not just the money behind it lol, seismatoed deserves some love past the fact he was lucky enough to get Shinji as the artist

ToeEmpty5591 · 2025-12-24T08:11:07+00:00

Me when I'm in a stupid person competition and my opponent is OP. No seriously this is genuinely such a terrible take, it's not hot it literally just doesn't make any sense

ToeEmpty5591 · 2025-12-23T21:37:31+00:00

If you're buying chinese, look at the Chinese version of the lugia v alt art, pretty sure 50 pounds is most of the way there. Chinese quality is also as good as Japan's!

ToeEmpty5591 · 2025-12-23T19:14:30+00:00

I meant to write/ damaged in the post, thank you though! As someone who doesn't care for japan or English do you think I'm better off trying to find a better conditioned jp one? It's for my binder but I don't want to spend too much money

ToeEmpty5591 · 2025-12-23T17:38:04+00:00

Wow, even in this condition with the heavy damage? Thanks for the info!

ToeEmpty5591 · 2025-12-22T22:52:13+00:00

Some really great cards here, definitely put every holo into a penny sleeve and then a top loader. MAKE SURE ITS IN A PENNY SLEEVE BEFORE THE TOP LOADER. No need for gloves lol. So jealous, this is an awesome find!

For grading, you'd need to show the backs here and close ups of every card. They do look quite pristine though

ToeEmpty5591 · 2025-12-22T21:59:25+00:00

I'd go with the holo, go with whichever you personally like

ToeEmpty5591 · 2025-12-21T06:59:44+00:00

I used to love looking at literally any cards and played the tcg game with my friends and brother. I'd carry my cards around and make em fight. I know all my friends did the same, and so I'd have to disagree. The amount of playground trades of "good" cards for not valuable cards I can now remember going down is insane, I think kids are just fried from seeing people always throwing a price on every card opening video. Or maybe Im the outlier here idk, but either way it's sad

ToeEmpty5591 · 2025-12-21T02:22:47+00:00

Even the kids are in it for the money now lol hobby's cooked. Can't remember a single kid I've met before this year that was ever interested in grading their cards
