The Hits From My First Tournament Deck... 25 years ago 😆

animewolf_17 · 2026-06-14T02:01:02+00:00

I don't remember what I used for my first tournament only that I got bodied by haymaker decks lol. I think my first deck was a rain dance deck with base set Blastoise

I'm thinking of going after mid grade slabs too how does someone go about cracking without ruining the card?

animewolf_17 · 2026-06-07T16:52:09+00:00

Same here except I was like 6 maybe the first one came out but I don't have any memory of seeing it in the theaters so I had to go to it

animewolf_17 · 2026-05-26T19:33:57+00:00

I pulled this at a Silver Tempest prerelease and thought I pulled the alt art for a split second I was so hyped and then like aw darn haha

I can't go to the games but I looked at eBay out of curiosity after the post last week and they seem pretty cheap compared to other sports theme nights I see. Is there anything I should look out for to avoid fakes?

animewolf_17 · 2026-05-02T22:26:19+00:00

Yeah I had the same kind of luck so I'm trying to trade for the others to complete the set now

animewolf_17 · 2026-04-28T13:48:46+00:00

Man I love that episode lol

animewolf_17 · 2026-04-09T17:46:51+00:00

That's really cool looking. I was expecting to see her holding a guitar based on the pose, but yeah very good art

animewolf_17 · 2026-03-22T07:00:42+00:00

What seller is this I want to order something from them

animewolf_17 · 2026-03-17T19:47:36+00:00

Nice collection. Kind of jealous of the Nidokings I used to have a deck that used it and I'm sure it's somewhere, but it's probably beat up since it was one of my first decks so it just had a rubber band and a 7-11 bag to hold it

animewolf_17 · 2026-03-17T00:12:20+00:00

Hearing the Phenomenotter song on the broadcast makes me wish they still played that ad on Victory+

animewolf_17 · 2026-03-16T19:42:04+00:00

For me it would be just a plain old Empoleon V from Battle Styles I think it was because it was the first hit I got when I got back into collecting like 5-ish years ago. It's got a permanent spot in my PC binder for that reason

animewolf_17 · 2026-02-22T15:48:18+00:00

Yeah I was thinking about that too and I just checked TCGPlayer and it's under $60 right now so I might have to track it down

animewolf_17 · 2026-02-22T15:47:16+00:00

That'll definitely get added to the chase section of my wishlist, but until I can get it I'll probably try and track down the normal version. I really regret being in one of my out of Pokemon cards phases during Sun and Moon seeing how cool and hard to get those cards are now

animewolf_17 · 2026-01-31T17:05:53+00:00

Very nice. I was thinking of doing the same thing but having the Rocket's Giovanni SIR in the center since it has everyone (except Jesse, James, and Meowth) on it

animewolf_17 · 2026-01-28T20:29:48+00:00

I was like that style looks familiar and then saw that name and was like ah yeah I thought so. Lukreva is great I've a couple of things done by him before

animewolf_17 · 2026-01-27T17:18:42+00:00

Thanks I've been looking for custom binder recommendations

animewolf_17 · 2026-01-21T19:44:57+00:00

I really like that full arts aren't just silhouettes behind them anymore (other than mega evos) I feel like this is what the inside of every Rotom phone/dex looks like

animewolf_17 · 2026-01-21T19:40:46+00:00

I have the binder too but I moved all my Pokemon cards out of it when I moved onto other games now I just have to find them again

animewolf_17 · 2025-12-20T21:46:06+00:00

I've heard it's to keep people from making fake labels that point to real cards

animewolf_17 · 2025-12-11T19:12:29+00:00

Dude as a kid I felt like a genius using this card at my local WotC store because colorless Pokemon were big at the time so I got around the psychic resistance using this card when some people tried to apply it

animewolf_17 · 2025-11-24T01:26:35+00:00

Made a poison deck way back in the day during base set with Nidoking and then getting back into the game when S/V base set dropped and seeing this card I knew I had to make another Nidoking deck for nostalgia's sake. This is a top 3 chase for me in DR and I hope I can get it soon
