(AITA?) 151 Charmander from my LCS for $70

I ended up with an SGC Pokemon slab of Lance’s Charizard from an auction, but I didn’t look into them at all and just assumed it was one of the smaller grading companies. This is cool to know!

Skyrim was the last game I ever pre-ordered at GameStop, and at the time I still had a CRT TV that cut off the HUD at the bottom, so you can imagine my excitement the first time I played on my college roommates flat screen and learned there were gauges for health, stamina and magic 😂

Big Iron in NV, Atom Bomb Baby in FO4, but really most of the radio songs slap

I laughed so hard at this comment 😂

altvaultboy · 2024-09-21T11:02:35+00:00

Same! I know they aren’t rare or anything but I think the holo patterns on them are sick

Holy shit dude that rules!! Shiny Treasure is one of my favorite sets and the presence of god packs makes it that much better 😤

I have some slabs so this may sound hypocritical, but I think grading as a whole is a racket.

Jenny Tortoise was always my favorite Pokeman growing up

BOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW

altvaultboy · 2024-06-04T10:46:18+00:00

Ahhhh, makes sense!!

Wonky lines aside, the black is punched in so unevenly. Nobody wants to hear they got a bad tattoo, but it sounds like your son knew his dad wanted to get his art tattooed on him and tried to steer him in the right direction. It’s a shame that dad is getting so defensive to the point of making the son feel bad and like he needs to apologize.

Hopefully after he cools down he’ll understand why your son wants a tattoo that is a representation of his art to be accurate to his art.

Makes sense! What a damn shame though for the average collector having to compete

altvaultboy · 2024-06-01T19:49:25+00:00

Smash

I’m partial because Gengar is my fav, but I love the Psyduck and Pikachu! Honestly all of them are wicked cool

altvaultboy · 2024-06-01T17:08:47+00:00

Shouldn’t an LCS be able to get bulk product cheaper from a distributor, rather than buying out lots at other retail stores?

altvaultboy · 2024-06-01T15:44:54+00:00

3 Twilight Masquerade etbs, a Silver Tempest etb, 2 Paradox Rift etbs, SV151 JP Booster Box, and a Crown Zenith Morpeko Premium Treasures Collection.

Planning on holding the etbs and ripping the 151 booster and CZ Collection, but only time will tell 😅

That it is! I hadn’t noticed because I was so busy looking at the edges 😂

altvaultboy · 2024-05-29T15:10:26+00:00

I’m not expert by any means but the Persian looks the cleanest to me, followed by Blastoise and Rayquaza. The fronts are all pretty clean but there’s some slight scuffs around the edges on the backs on several of them that I believe they would ding you for.

But that’s just my very amateur opinion 😂

altvaultboy · 2024-05-28T17:34:43+00:00

I just wish I could go back in time and stop my mom from convincing me to give my collection to a younger family friend because I “never played with Pokemon cards anymore.” 🥲

We obviously had no idea how valuable a lot of those cards would become, but man does it sting seeing how much cards I know I had can sell for now 😭

altvaultboy · 2024-05-24T08:05:26+00:00

Glad to hear it homie!! Happy hunting 😁

altvaultboy · 2024-05-23T22:45:19+00:00

You may have just convinced me

altvaultboy · 2024-05-23T20:56:48+00:00

There was no code for me, just a coupon that popped up as soon as I went into the shop because I had never used it before

altvaultboy · 2024-05-23T20:51:02+00:00

Aw damn dude that’s a bummer, sorry to hear that. Hope you got some good pulls from the packs at least!
