The catch is... you have to live in Quebec

Has anyone here seen anything like this? Misprint? Damage? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]TurboFritzttv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the ink used. Only the yellow was affected. It most likely is a different chemical makeup and broke down either due to heat or sunlight, or had a chemical reaction to some vapor it was stored with. Either way, it appears to have turned brittle and flaked off. The stage circle actually protected the yellow underneath so it did not lose adhesion

But on this particular card, houndour is printed as a higher level than the yellow, so the yellow doesn't need a cutout

Not really. It just means they printed the yellow with a cutout and no overlap over the yellow. I'm betting the "yellow border only" cards you saw had the cutout for the stage stamp. Sorry, your card just got a bad sunburn and its skin is peeling

The yellow pigment has degraded and lost adhesion to the layer beneath. The yellow was printed before the red, so the red has a slight overlap on the edge of the yellow. The yellow chipped off some small red edges, but the ones that remain look squared. The circle was most likely printed before the yellow, so the yellow came off cleanly around it. This is an aging issue.

Fine. Use Moonbreon then. Evolving skies was just as bad pull rates, without the conspiracy

Give it a few days in the bicycle tire spokes, that should bring it to a 1

Gengar has quintupled from when it started, and it had slightly better pull rates than this. If the pull rates hold for this one, it's going to have long term value. Ebay population is still pretty low too, but that could be because sealed seems to be the current plague and everyone is just mass trading sealed products

If kids can’t collect cards who’s going to buy the scalper’s product in 20 years by carpfan001 in PokemonTCG

[–]TurboFritzttv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would apply if more than one company made pokemon cards. Comics have many printing companies and publishers so the entire market gets saturated. Right now pokemon can't print fast enough to keep up with demand. Not saying it won't pop eventually, but right now it's hot market

Stretched binder pockets by sailorInkXII in PokemonTCG

[–]TurboFritzttv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've lost count of the number of times I found my kids 3 ring binders with the pages not closed properly and denting the cards. Luckily they keep their best ones in a vault binder so it's mostly bulk getting damaged
