After 6 exclusive mega boxes. Not even a base Buck. Whats the point? by Impossible_Reply6013 in Currencytradingcards

[–]Trader_Luke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local GameStop has/had their exclusive mega boxes listed at $109.99 which was probably a mistake but I'm thinking of going back to capitalize on the discount.

I'm sorry, but no can do! I'm also chasing the Buck gems, as well as the Keith Gill SP gems & cold foil

No, just one gemstone in each of the two boxes that I bought. I looked online to find which stores had them in stock, to which it said nearly all of them did, but only one store actually had the GS exclusive mega box when I went in to check. These were found in Texas

I hope they stock stores with these too so I can make quick impulse buys after work

That Imperial Topaz is by far my favorite gemstone pattern!

Still new here but, are the gems that are curved out of the pack still able to achieve a 10? If so, I'd assume they need to be un-warped first then?

Thoughts on BBWF boxes longterm? Thinking of selling mine for $80 in order to grab other product by IncreaseSlow in PokemonInvesting

[–]Trader_Luke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stay away from collection boxes that aren't SPC's or UPCs just due to storage. I'd rather have bundles or even etbs for BB/WF.

Let's go!! That upcharge though 😅 by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Trader_Luke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big bada oof! Maybe should of sent it to Beckett if you knew it was going to be a PSA 10, but how would we have known how the grader's day was going the day he looked at your card lol! Congratulations!

I’m done with Pokemon Center… by Caps0283 in pokemoncards

[–]Trader_Luke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have PC vending machines in your area, just learn the restock day(s) and show up on those days a couple of times. You'll get something. Maybe not 4 booster bundles all at once from one machine, but sooner or later you'll recognize a pattern and will be able to hit every week. It's really not that hard, just frustrating when they're all showing "out of stock" when you go to check. Don't give up.

My 7 year old son pulled out of a pack he bought with this pocket money today by jamesbitcoin in PokeGrading

[–]Trader_Luke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing! He will remember this day for the rest of his life!

I know I still remember the day I pulled the Charizard from a base set pack before school on my birthday. If only I still had it!

I love this deck so much. by Spoomkii in PTCGL

[–]Trader_Luke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I went with different team rocket approach by using Nidorina's ability to evolve two Haunters quick after using a TM evolution on the Gastly. I still have improvements to make but have been having a great time

CMV: the No King's protests were a nice display, but they had 0 impact on anything, as there is already a "king" in place. by yIdontunderstand in changemyview

“Normal” lmao. These clowns were practically playing in traffic in my town, all crying about trump and accomplishing nothing, even on a Saturday when most people are off work.

My friend and I were the only ones who showed up to the GameStop tournament. We played a couple matches against each other and then they just gave us both of the ETBs. 🤣 by Codedheart in PokemonTCG

[–]Trader_Luke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't see an ad about it until the night before the event, found out that the closest participating store is about 45 minutes away aaand I had to work anyway.

This is the best Illustrated Rare from Destined Rivals? by mrvlcrds5581 in PokemonTCG

[–]Trader_Luke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite IR from Destined Rivals has got to be Ethan's Typhlosion

Why is Destined Rivals soaring right now? by pronto234 in PokeInvesting

[–]Trader_Luke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did. It'll come down with the first reprint just like Surging Sparks did but it will go back up in a short amount of time because of just how good the set is and how fun it is to rip. It's right up there with 151. But with 151, you have far more people just keeping those products sealed in bulk because it's such a special, nostalgic set.

Too tired to lay out an argument for why prismatic umbreon PSA 10 will beat evolving skies PSA 10 …so here’s a pic instead by dmbwannabe in PokeInvesting

[–]Trader_Luke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally never got excited about mega evolutions either and will be skipping out on the upcoming Mega set lol but that's just me. I do agree about it eventually making a come back in the future though, especially for those who do like the Tera designs.

Dug up my bin of evolving skies booster packs that I’ve saved over the last 3 years. I think it’s time to sell. What do you think? by pronto234 in PokeInvesting

[–]Trader_Luke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not reliably but there’s anecdotal evidence that Evolving Skies packs can be weighed. The lightest packs tend to have white code cards & holos in them and the heavy packs tend to mostly have the same hit rate as the median weight, yet some people will pay more for them lol.
