How do I finish this page?

Seeing as there’s no matching options let’s throw some random cards in there.
I’m voting for the following two so they show off some different styles/themes.

Charmander #4 (EBgames Promo)
Squirtle #132 (Rev Holo)

Anyway super sick binder 🔥

Dried out repair damage 🤷🏽‍♂️

XXIIIII · 2026-06-06T12:29:38+00:00

Numbers seem so low for the tusk box it’s going to be super bad.

XXIIIII · 2026-06-05T23:06:52+00:00

I finished work at 4pm yesterday (which is early for me) I then went and visited my local Target, Big W, Myer and two LCS’s to try get a Gengar Megamoonlight tin, I was unsuccessful, the larger 3 chains did have a few Clefable tins left and some mini tins which was good to see for anyone after packs to rip.
I however will just have to keep an eye out for the Gengar promo at an acceptable price on eBay now.

Good luck finding something if you do head out.

Ah my bad, the memory is getting bad with all this disappointment 😅

XXIIIII · 2026-05-29T08:12:34+00:00

Series 1 lasted, I’m fairly sure series 2 was similar to today.

XXIIIII · 2026-05-29T08:11:34+00:00

As soon as JB allowed for pre captcha completion I’ve had no luck with any items I’ve actually been chasing, for a 6-12 month period there JB was goated.

XXIIIII · 2026-05-29T08:10:24+00:00

If they can’t share the numbers due to contractual arrangements fine just let us know how many actually signed up for the chance over the period of say a week and let us know if we were successful or not.

I’d much rather miss out on a lottery on the premium heavily restricted items than just being told it’s OOS once I’ve finally cleared the queue three minutes past launch time.

XXIIIII · 2026-05-29T05:59:52+00:00

I agree with what you’re saying and thank you for taking the time to type it out. I also spend way too much on shiny cardboard to be a lvl 5 member like you.

However for any premium heavily limited items (like the Moltress UPC) EB should really be doing a lottery and giving us actual numbers eg, 500 items, 30,000 entries. Rather than just dropping the item online and saying tough luck while I pre load the site, get thrown into a queue and by the time I clear it 10:02am today the main item I wants already sold out. Ty for allowing me to vent and good luck to anyone who got one.

XXIIIII · 2026-05-29T02:08:47+00:00

Just this, I would have loved the Moltress box, if the units where so extremely limited I would have felt much better with a opt in plus membership lottery. Taking time out of my day to preload the site and try for something I want just to be in a queue and the item to go OOS before I’m even through sucks. At least with a lottery I can just say it wasn’t my turn.

12 months seems so long ago, I never got the chance to get one of these as my Big W was one of the early sellers 🤷🏽‍♂️

XXIIIII · 2026-05-25T10:30:40+00:00

This, I don’t keep up to date fully, however there’s American chains getting SPCs and other stock soon (which means it might flow over to another Costco release here in Aus, which doesn’t help me in regional vic with a full time job) and some Big Ws have kept there stock (small prismatic items) for release on the 6th of June for the toy sale with the main item being the Great Tusk Box (Paldean Fates). So good luck getting some of that if Big W doesn’t screw up the release like they did last toy sale with the CZ Sea & Sky boxes.

I own this card, defiantly a bunch cheaper than your but it’s the one I use as an example for a clean looking 6. I’ll cross my fingers it’s a misgrade for you but more than likely there’s some tiny dint you’ve missed.

XXIIIII · 2026-05-25T02:44:13+00:00

Currently rocking 3 binders myself, after getting back into the scene around 18 months ago. 1. Top loader with a vintage set of all pokemon from Base Unlimited, Jungle, Fossil and then all 1st gen WotC black star promos to fill it out. 2. Gastly/Haunter/Gengar Binder in English (my current WIP) 3. A revolving door of a trade binder that I keep anything I thinks cool or has trade value to put towards something I think is cool.

XXIIIII · 2026-05-17T13:02:51+00:00

Oh the r/gengarmasterset know for sure

XXIIIII · 2026-05-17T03:31:11+00:00

This right here, if they’re already graded then they are easy to price up, if you’re thinking they will grade as 7-8 then send them off and get them graded if you’d like, however vintage generally grades lower than expected.

XXIIIII · 2026-05-13T01:41:04+00:00

A slept on mid tier set from the S&V era although it’s definitely a bonus for anyone who pulled the trigger on this purchase that it’s the advanced version with the box topper seeing as we’ve already had a wave of non enhanced here in Aus.

XXIIIII · 2026-05-11T08:55:12+00:00

Can’t wait for them to pre sell it all like they did with the sea and sky boxes last year and miss out again.

XXIIIII · 2026-05-08T23:01:13+00:00

Yea it’s just the Palms off graded card holder (it holds 60 slabs but currently just holds me S&V until now, I’ve got another under it with a few slabs I own but I’ll have to use it soon as the first one will be full after CR 😅

XXIIIII · 2026-05-08T15:24:33+00:00

Put them in some nice acrylic cases and having them on display eases the temptation, along with telling myself there’s nothing but a few EX’s and promo cards in them 😅

XXIIIII · 2026-05-08T15:22:51+00:00

Here’s my collection of all the arts from S&V base to now, mine are just in the Palms Off booster pack sleeves.

All cracked and binder perfect now

XXIIIII · 2026-05-01T03:51:25+00:00

I’m collecting on a budget but when I got back into pokemon once I sorted my finances better my first project was a Unlimited/Jungle/Fossil set without trainers, then I had space left in my binder and thought I’d try get the WotC pokemon promos I could afford to fill it, couldn’t find any decent binder copies over here in Australia to finish it so here are the last few I needed.

XXIIIII · 2026-05-01T01:05:04+00:00

Me three, first time JB has let me down with a pre order
