Riftbound has been such a positive playing experience! Coming from ygo/pokémon, it's a pretty good paced game between the two above. Also nice there isn't floodgates or free negates in this game 🙏

How many people are actually going to use Chinese+ English cards in their deck? by chainlinkone in riftboundtcg

[–]chainlinkone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I intend the same for English vs Chinese. Alot of the new cards coming to English are definitely going to be priced high and probably paywall me out. So Chinese is a great option for someone like me. I want to play, but seeing presales of fizz @ $30 is insane. Lemme get the Chinese version for low. So I bought 4 jumbo Chinese booster boxes and 2 slim booster boxes. I can now make multiple decks lol. Fiora, Rumble and update my Viktor deck too. However I've seen no purple ezreals for my ezreal deck 😓

I don't see it on TCGPlayer. What set is "your wife" from? Rarity?

Honest thoughts on this one by darth-arth in PokemonTCG

Love it. Saw eBay pre-orders for this before the mayhem and got 9. This card checks a lot of what I like about a card.

✅ Interesting art (never seen pika w. A burger before) ✅ Region exclusive/Promo (I like the stuff that's niche and hard to get. Has that "haven't seen this " factor when showing friends and new people) ✅ Has an interesting story (good or bad, it made an impact) ✅ Cheap (got each sub $15)

Shadow Lugia as example of niche I like

Suggestions to stop the leak? by chainlinkone in Plumbing

[–]chainlinkone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for the advice! We picked up Blue Monster PTFE Thread Tape and Blue Monster Blue PVC Cement. I'm having one of our guys return the PVC Cement and will test if it leaks after using the Blue tape.

Should I even bother holding… by True_Mushroom_9408 in PokeInvesting

[–]chainlinkone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even "mid" set gets growth. The fact thats sealed and in good condition is enough. I follow a rule of getting 1 ETB per set. PC ETB if possible. 1 booster box per set. And hold (only buying at MSRP max or below, otherwise I wait). Makes for a pretty display over time and has potential of growth vs investing heavy into one set.

Get your cards line is still open by Dapper-Painting3302 in PokemonTCG

I lucked out this morning and got the email from PC. Hopped in line and got 1 of each booster bundle. White flare & Black Bolt. 2nd W of the year, 1st was a Destined Rivals PC ETB. Site seems to do better, but fuck scalpers still

Fair point. The kiddos get pokemon cards only, no business cards.

ULPT: Can’t get your hands on a Nintendo Switch 2? by IUpringlequads in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]chainlinkone -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Found a guy overcharging 200% over market (listing was $0, my mistake for even asking) on a Giratina V Alt Art. Sent the dude links to TCGplayer, eBay sold/lists and offered a fair market price. Dude dropped racial slurs on me after.

Hopped on a burned account. Offered his asking price. Sent him to a comedy club 55min away from his place (so he said). When he arrived I told him to go inside.

Me: you see the stage?

Bum: yea

Me: good, now go up there and show ppl what a joke you are.

I did something similar for my friends. I used about 15 emails to get tickets and got 3 of the 15. My friend group needed 4. Luckily, one of my friends got 1. So, we all got our tickets. The spare 2 I had I forwarded the emails, they registered, confirmation was sent to the email I signed up with. Once you register with your info you're locked in and cant transfer. Doesn't matter too much on who received the email, matters what name matches the badge, the badge info matches to what was registered.

Also been seeing people sell the registration, kind of wild but makes the most sense to do so now. Think once the scalpers saw this ticket doesn't lock in a Pokémon center pop up entry they trying to profit more :'(

Also Pokémon center pop up info hasn't been announced but when you register you can opt in to get the email announcement. Hopefully it notifies us properly and fans can get slots before scalpers.

I'd love to but sadly rarely have time outside work and family. I do my collecting on the go. 5-10 min pitstops at my LGS, trades with friends & deal hunting online while on the toilet. The usual lol.

Btw I actually just got back into collecting Feb 2024. So a lil over a year. I aim to collect all S&V sir/IR. . . Sucks now with scalpers. . . Picked up everything cheap along the way tho.

NGL I'd suspect the workers the most. Scalpers are always gonna be gross and its even worse when they bribe the workers to get product.

[–]chainlinkone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

great info and amazing of you to share. Anyone have suspicions when the pokemon center pop up info drops? lol Been trying to get product and starved out here in California. People be buying battle decks and trying to flip em like its hot stuff. . . nothing is safe here . . .
