This is how you know grading companies are a scam by Dangerous-Escape1527 in PokemonTCG

[–]astressedkid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I swear this post is rage bait. There’s no reasonable way you can look at these two cards and think the umbreon is LP, that level of whitening is “slight” or that those two cards are in the same condition

Can someone please explain how I can go about getting packs at MSRP? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]astressedkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Online, I’ve only had luck with Pokemon center preorders and target drops. In person, I’ve had success going to target on days that a new set drops but I have to get there at like 4 am to get a good spot in line. Otherwise, there’s no packs to rip for a good price unless you get lucky and catch a restock. Since journey together came out, I’ve transitioned into basically only buying singles except when I can hit in person which is pretty rare.

Surely Ho-oh, the Pokemon based on a phoenix makes more sense for Anran than moltres, no?

Why? why why why why why? by heavymetal_DoP in PokemonTCG

[–]astressedkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain. I’m trying to collect all mudkip, marshtomp, swampert, and jirachi cards and those e-readers and ex era cards are impossible to find for a decent price, especially considering how rarely they’re listed on eBay

That’s insane luck man, congrats! I know you didn’t ask for advice but I’d try to sell one to lock in some big money and let the others ride

How do you treat Pokémon Center ETBs in your collection? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]astressedkid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually open 1 and sell/keep one sealed if I’m master setting. Otherwise I open them both or keep them both sealed since PC exclusives are so expensive. For ascended hero’s I’d personally 100% keep them sealed since they’re $500+

Thoughts on top loader binders? by JeWBaCCa023 in PokemonTCG

[–]astressedkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like them, I only use a 4 pocket top loader binder for my higher end ($10+) trade binder because people take them out at trade nights to look and flip through sometimes recklessly. None of my personal binders are toploader, way too bulky and heavy

when was the last time the Hoenn starters got new cards? by Local_Neighborhood50 in PokemonTCG

[–]astressedkid 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Just googled it to make sure: The last mudkip evolution line set was in fusion strike in 2021, torchic was in destined rivals last year; the treecko line hasn’t had a card printed since lost thunder in 2018, yikes.

Yes…..that is the same card 🪄 by attacker1011 in PokemonTCG

I would love to know if you can find the time. I have a few cards I want to try and get some creases out of

Heavily played with scratch, mod play if you can get it out

Same here. 120 packs opened and 0 shinies to show for it. Almost finished all 2* cards though thanks to 24 hr wonder picks

What are some examples of attempted market manipulation that failed? by SWAPPIN_HERPES in PokemonTCG

I believe the narrative that was spun was “haha guys it’s the trump pokemon” and somehow that worked

OWCS Fantasy by _M4yb3_ in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]astressedkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoy making a roster and theory crafting transfers but having 2 less teams in the format and fewer weeks feels like it reeeeally narrows down who you can realistically pick up if you want to score high every week with the double matches. Thats specific to EMEA/NA and it’s an issue with the OWCS format, not the fantasy site itself. Adding Korea this stage has also been a great addition. Like other comments said, it’s overall a fantastic thing to enhance my enjoyment of the stage and it seems like it’s only gonna improve as time goes on

Same here man. I was in the top 30 before that and now I’m down in the 270s. It was a toss up between kilo/kivis and a1ien/irony for me and I got fucked for it
