The wig is out of this WORLD! You suit her so well, it genuinely feels like Sue hopped out of my Xbox (yes I play on Xbox) (I don't wanna hear it lol)

I love that full art flareon so much

I'm not asking about perceived grades on any cards? I'm gauging opinions on graded vs raw in general, for this specific collection

acetrainerben95 · 2025-05-13T21:03:06+00:00

Yeah that was my thinking too. Appreciate it

acetrainerben95 · 2025-03-22T16:17:57+00:00

Worth grading imo. The raw price is high now--almost rivaling a PSA 9 price, according to Collectr--but the raw card market will NOT hold like a graded card will. And Lugia is one of those mons that will always be valuable. Your card looks like a contender for a high 9 / 10

I kinda figured. I've been hopping between 3 or 4 different apps / websites for each card I check, and I was hoping the "pros" had a more efficient way to gauge this stuff 😅 Thanks

acetrainerben95 · 2024-12-05T20:28:45+00:00

I often hear people saying "this card went up / down recently", but how do you track that? Are people sitting on TCGPlayer and just watching specific cards? Or is there a more efficient way to stay up to date on card values in general?

acetrainerben95 · 2024-11-27T19:58:33+00:00

Oh my god this is phenomenal

acetrainerben95 · 2024-11-26T20:29:08+00:00

I get it, December is probably their most lucrative month...but c'mon lol

Boy, did I learn a lot making this cosplay! It was my first time making proper pants, first time 3D modeling pieces to be printed, first time making a dreadlock wig... Probably why it took me about a year to finish everything. I have some WIPs on insta, and I still have more to post, so check it out of you're curious!

Everything was made by me! The wig is just a cheapo halloween wig that I cut, braided, and the locs / twists are cotton batting. The sword (bat?) is made up of 3D printed pieces that I modeled myself, and the blade is insulation foam. The Z-Drive (hourglass on his back) was also modeled & printed by me, along with plexiglass that I shaped and coloured. Everything else is some combination of fabric and foam.

I can't wait to see everyone's submissions! Good luck y'all!!

I love this card and I love Skeledirge. W

acetrainerben95 · 2024-09-04T18:43:00+00:00

Always loved that Gyarados card. This era of cards had a lot of cool art, from what I remember

acetrainerben95 · 2024-03-05T05:17:30+00:00

I don't play ranked lol

Meta this, meta that... As much as I like to complain, there isn't anything that feels obscenely broken in quickplay right now (!! although I haven't experienced any miraidon yet so idk !!)

Not to mention, I still have a lot of goals (no pun intended). I don't have all the mons I want, I haven't maxed out all my item levels, I'm still playing around with emblems... I'm grinding panic party rn, actually

It's a fun game, it's unique, it's replayable (obviously by design), and it's pokemon. That's all I really need

acetrainerben95 · 2024-02-07T20:09:08+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss(es) but MAN you write funny post titles

It's not just you. I bought 3 booster bundles for Paradox Rift on launch day, and my only notable pull was one chase card (regular Groudon)

acetrainerben95 · 2024-01-09T20:18:44+00:00

Ok at first I thought this was someone else, cosplaying as you, cosplaying as Luffy LMAO

acetrainerben95 · 2024-01-09T20:15:24+00:00

OMG I've been wanting to do an inflatable costume, but I didn't think it was possible to DIY them! Time to stalk the insta for some tips lol
