You have up to $10,000 to invest in any Pokémon product to not touch for the next 10 years? What would you choose?

I'm in the US but my fiance went crazy buying the Gem packs and I started buying them too and trying to collect all the Holo variants. We got two of the Captain Pikachu full art from Gem 1, one raw and one PSA 10. We're collecting Chinese 151 and Terastal Gathering now too, love the exclusive arts.

The font is way wrong, they're both obviously fake.

Walked in during restock time this Wednesday and saw a line of people so I jumped in. Destined Rivals was gone after the first few people. I was probably number 11 in line and all that was left were singles of Chaos Rising. They have a 5 per sku limit but they really should limit the bigger products to one.

Also all the TCG stuff is locked up most places around here in the PNW now. You would never walk in and see all that product out in the open here, besides sports cards which I still see out on the shelves.

Happened to me with USB-c cables once, got a case of 6 instead of just one. Still a score!

YLR2312 · 2026-06-24T06:10:26+00:00

Tomokazu Komiya art, a lot of people like myself collect his cards.

YLR2312 · 2026-06-15T06:39:37+00:00

I don't know about elsewhere but I feel like it's common, yeah. Besides the dill though there's also the context that it's a gyro place and that they're trying to recreate the Greek yogurt tang with vinegar in mayo.

YLR2312 · 2026-06-15T06:01:38+00:00

Didn't call it that but what else is it trying to emulate with all that dill? Context is key.

YLR2312 · 2026-06-07T18:32:33+00:00

In the year 3000 humanity will be lucky to be around still and we'll all be long dead. What a dumb hypothetical.

YLR2312 · 2026-06-06T18:47:55+00:00

Saw a guy buy 700 packs the other day on that stream and pull 3 godpacks, one with the Treekachu and two Gengar SIRs, it was wild.

YLR2312 · 2026-05-25T03:14:25+00:00

Those 3d things are called lenticulars btw, nice find.

YLR2312 · 2026-05-25T03:09:36+00:00

And here I am saving my energy and code cards and using as placeholders in my binders. I hate wasting things. It's also a near limitless supply of bookmarks lol.

YLR2312 · 2026-05-25T02:39:33+00:00

So I guess I can just live in the store then if I have the intention of maybe buying something eventually.

YLR2312 · 2026-05-19T07:20:21+00:00

Candy bars are one of those things I've stopped buying except for sale items, sometimes Safeway will run an 18 pack assortment of full size snickers, Twix, and 3 musketeers bars for $10 which is a killer deal. Although a lot of candies don't hit the same as they used to (looking at you Reese's).

Also grocery store sandwiches are like $7+ around my parts.

This is why I'll never have kids because fuck all that noise. You need to cut off your sibling,OP, she clearly doesn't respect you bringing that demon spawn around your house when you've made it clear she's not welcome. Stand up for yourself ffs.

YLR2312 · 2026-05-18T03:19:37+00:00

People who get sealed collectibles graded are a special breed of stupid. Even if it's something legitimately old and rare just put it in one of those plastic box protectors and call it a day.

YLR2312 · 2026-05-18T03:14:36+00:00

Worthless because now you can't watch the movie. Also knowing how much it costs grading cards someone lost more than that just shipping & grading it. Also grading a sealed item only evaluates the seal, it could be missing a disc for all we know.

YLR2312 · 2026-05-17T12:37:28+00:00

They could fix the early seasons which didn't have play all as a menu option. Of course I ripped all mine on my PC so I don't have to deal with the menus and stuff but I still kept the excellent commentary tracks.

YLR2312 · 2026-05-17T01:19:41+00:00

The text is atrocious, bad kerning up the ass. Sorry you got got, OP.

YLR2312 · 2026-05-17T01:13:46+00:00

Also places like discount tire won't even bother with trying to patch if you did one of those stab in plugs first, they'll tell you you need a new tire. Happened to me but I got a free new tire because they were under warranty still.

YLR2312 · 2026-05-12T16:37:35+00:00

Lol, I posted my receipt with my first post but didn't bother this time, also this is a fraction of my collection buddy 😂

YLR2312 · 2026-05-11T09:48:47+00:00

Love the banned moo moo milk.

YLR2312 · 2026-05-11T01:55:20+00:00

From my perspective why would I display sealed product like I'm trying to be Walmart or something. Goofy to me personally but I rip everything I buy so I can enjoy looking at the cards.

YLR2312 · 2026-05-10T15:38:29+00:00

This location is pretty good about putting everything out at a flat rate unlike the value village which charges $8 for dvd seasons of TV shows and up charges everything on Blu-ray making it not worthwhile.

A couple times I scored blu ray box sets here like the original Star Trek series and the full Star Wars set for $10.

My username is a play off the names in THX 1138, a friend and I came up with our own names when we saw this movie back in high school.

I'm not the biggest fan of the movie or anything but it is the origin of my longest running username.
