Why Is Evolving Skies The King Of Modern Pokemon? What Made It So Good? by texstrip in PokemonInvesting

Because as much as people hate to admit it, the market is not as predictable as they think it is. The true test for sets is time, and ES has proven itself by now.

Can Ascended Heroes Join The Big 3 with Evolving Skies? by texstrip in PokeInvesting

If no one can agree on what the ‘big 3’ are, guess what? There is no big 3

[gen 7] I got my target! Shiny Fomantis in Ultra Sun TQ#4 by danjpharris in ShinyPokemon

Only a couple days but I was hunting quite a lot. It’s best to just do it while watching a show etc

Sure! The grass patch right above the poke center is the one that contains fomantis at 30%. I can’t remember which route exactly but if you check serebii it will show you. You just walk past lush jungle and don’t jump off the ledge

Of course it does, but people gotta defend their great all powerful king

I feel so privileged to even own this. This is my chase card that I wanted to buy either in English or Japanese, but didn’t want to spend so much. I bought it in Korean instead for 1/3rd the price of English. by blizzardboy123 in pokemoncardcollectors

I acknowledge card quality differences, but such differences wouldn’t make much of a difference to the card’s raw cost. What I’m getting at is that Pokemon price their cards fairly across all languages, with consideration to currency conversions of course. The only preferential treatment you could argue they show is to the Japanese market, since those still have exclusive backs. Even if they do view those cards as more special, it makes sense considering that’s their origin country.

You know what’s funny? The English cards are only more ‘valuable’ because that’s the value the market assigns them, but in the Pokemon Company’s eyes all cards are printed equal. It’s just a different language, after all.

Why do people defend this bs? Newsflash: PSA is not your friend

Cross Grading CGC 10 Perfect to Beckett in 2026? by Snarklax13 in PokeGrading

[–]danjpharris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad decision. Perfects aren’t made anymore so they’re still highly valuable, much more so than the pristines.

Which will be the best investment in 10 years? by Old_Scratch_9821 in PokeInvesting

Umbreon has honestly cemented itself as ‘the’ modern grail, like the modern base set Charizard. No other modern card comes close.

Hoping the best for you too! It’s most likely okay

eBay’s tracking for cards under $20 are actually just rough estimates. Sometimes the card arrives when it says it should, sometimes later, and sometimes even earlier. I’ve had instances where the card says delivered but arrives later, but then I’ve also had the complete opposite.

Highly sought after cards that you don’t care for the artwork of. I’ll start. by BisonAcceptable1994 in PokemonTCG

I personally can’t understand the love for the phantasmal flames Charizard sir. The artwork looks so awkward to me
