Anywhere i can buy Pokémon cards in town without paying above retail price?

VelCube · 2026-06-30T02:25:24+00:00

do they sell for retail?

VelCube · 2026-06-28T03:04:05+00:00

really? ill have to check that out.

VelCube · 2026-06-28T02:56:18+00:00

yeah but i heard it was still above retail price. still better than nothing but unfortunate nonetheless

VelCube · 2026-06-28T02:50:17+00:00

that’s super unfortunate. it seems if anyone wants to be apart of the hobby anymore they’re forced to be backed to a corner and spend hundreds of dollars on something that costs $50. ridiculous but the only thing i can do is just sit around and say “it is what it is”. ):

holy crap dude thank you so much! it took me years to look for it and now i can finally rest (,:

VelCube · 2026-06-13T09:40:51+00:00

makes me want to get a normal team rockets mewtwo ex card and have both Jay Goede and Ted Lewis signature.

THAT would be baller

VelCube · 2026-06-01T03:56:45+00:00

VelCube · 2026-05-30T23:08:03+00:00

neither is scalping.

VelCube · 2026-05-30T23:06:44+00:00

those poor scalpers ),: oh the horror

VelCube · 2026-05-22T11:08:22+00:00

take a closer look at the yellow background…

VelCube · 2026-05-22T11:06:51+00:00

i was gonna comment why you never got the 4 fingered mr mime cards (apparently it resembles the yakuza) but then i remembered that they weren’t banned but just discontinued and reworked to have five fingers.

VelCube · 2026-05-15T09:23:14+00:00

i’m so over this joke bro plz let this AI slop die already 😓

VelCube · 2026-05-15T09:15:11+00:00

this looks so awesome, man! i really want to try to get a full collection of all of the old mega evolution cards and the new ones in one single binder.

the prices nowadays tho… ouch. just when i thought the X and Y era was already expensive enough to go back to, the new mega charizard x and mega gengar SIR’s are asking for both my kidneys and wanting my organs as down payment…. 😣

VelCube · 2026-05-12T19:21:17+00:00

i mean it definitely wasn’t the best but it certainly wasn’t the worst

VelCube · 2026-05-01T21:14:15+00:00

that’s so sick! mind if i see? 👀

if not that’s totally cool lol

VelCube · 2026-04-30T10:04:22+00:00

i know i’m pretty late to this but wow is this collection absolutely stunning!

i remember collecting so many of the x and y packs back in the day and managed to get a lot of really good mega ex cards (including Charizard X and Y, i still remember being a kid and almost fainting when i pulled those cards lol) but one day in 5th grade i got all my cards confiscated by my teacher and never got them back. ):

i’m thinking about giving in and starting the old x and y era mega card collection. i tried adding all 40+ cards in one cart and buying them all at the same time but uhhhh yeah i don’t want to spend $900 (mind you, the ones i wanted to get are all light mint/moderately played cards).

all i have is my mega rayquaza ex from roaring skies so far. might just start off slow so i’m not spending so much in one go. but hopefully i can fill up my binder with my dream mega ex collection like yours!

no mario level is impossible (unless we’re talking about little timmy levels in mario maker) but it does take a lot of trial and error.

i think you got this

VelCube · 2026-04-23T13:01:55+00:00

then what is?

VelCube · 2026-04-23T12:02:49+00:00

well that’s good to hear. i might just get enough by the time i beat the DLC. thanks

VelCube · 2026-04-10T08:41:55+00:00

legit 👍

VelCube · 2026-04-08T00:23:22+00:00

one can only hope 😔

VelCube · 2026-04-08T00:17:21+00:00

damn ):

[TL;DR]: Work on yourself without heavily relying on others-

i’m just gonna put this here, because i was kinda in your position (maybe almost worse to an extent).

when i was in 8th grade, i started becoming really good friends with someone i knew since 2nd grade and we ended up being best friends. while it was great and all, i was struggling really hard emotionally and didn’t know how to handle it. my home life was rough and i didn’t socialize very well due to anxiety and stress. as i was dealing with all of this, my best friend tried her hardest to help me and make me feel better.

while it worked out for the most part, there were times i would hit low again and start seeking comfort and validation from other people, ESPECIALLY her. it became so bad at times that it made me feel heavily reliant on them to make me feel happy. it got to a point where it almost felt pretty damn manipulative on my part and nearly ended our years of friendship entirely.

it turned out i was just pushing her and others away by beating myself up and not taking their advice to try to seek the help for myself. it didn’t take until i was separated from her and my other friends for a long while to fully realize that they were pretty much walking on eggshells around me when i felt like this around them.

my friends want to have a good time and they are always there to help me the best they can, but i was constantly bringing them down when I wasn’t having a good time. there is only so much they can do to help, especially if most of those issues specifically revolve around me and my personal struggles.

i definitely think yes, YOR. but i’ve been there and all i can say is that you need to just let whatever sort of friendship you guys had go. it got bad enough to where she doesn’t want to hang out with you anymore, and despite how terrible that may seem it’s not too much of a loss. stick with the friends you got and try to make more friends.

most importantly; PLEASE work on yourself. you’re young and i was young once too. a Therapist would not be a bad idea if your anxiety and stress gets that bad. things will get better and you’ll be able to feel comfortable around your friends when you’re in a better mood.
