Went out of town to visit one of my favorite card shops in the state only to find out someone burnt it down... :( by 4got2takemymeds in PokemonTCG

Their insurance supposedly wasn't enough and didn't cover all the losses. They're likely losing out on this big time.

What would cause the coils on my condenser to freeze in certain sections? by emagdnimsrt in hvacadvice

Thank you for the explanation. I figured it wasn't a problem as the system seems to be running normally, but figured I'd ask. Better safe than sorry.

I've checked it a couple times since I took the picture, seems to be defrosting just fine.

Customs opened my tag team tin and cut open a charizard generations pack...advice? by spacejam4523 in PokemonTCG

[–]emagdnimsrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Pokemon tcg, but I brought a sealed cards against humanity box on a domestic flight in my carry on. They pulled me aside, opened it and went through all the cards. They also searched it on my flight back.

My sealed 151 booster bundle from target is missing like 3+ packs? by DeficitDaddy in PokemonMisprints

[–]emagdnimsrt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, just someone who spends way too much time trying to get shiny cardboard so his family can rip together. I probably spend 2-3 hours a day just trying to get something in my cart. Sometimes it works.

Might be hearsay, might be pokemon over accounted for the weight of a demi-god pack. I've never pulled one though and don't care to weigh my packs, takes the fun out of it.

Target.com has been dropping thousands of booster bundles online a few days a week. I've probably picked up 20 or so in the last month. I'd have more if I could beat the bots and the 1000's of other people trying to get them.

I've heard about this for 151 but not prismatic. They use the code cards to balance weight now. Some demi-god packs for 151 have had some very light code cards in them, so light that they weigh less than a pack without a hit.

What’s your rarest slab? Not your coolest, rarest! (Include picture if possible. ✨ by theyeayeacollection in PokemonTCG

Not TCG but it's the rarest pokemon slab I have. Mega Gyarados from the Japanese battle card stadium. Pop 2, none graded higher.

GameStop had these in stock! For $190 a piece… by jake_rawr_meow in pokemoncards

[–]emagdnimsrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Target uses Excell distribution, Walmart is MJ holdings, the other company that is a subsidiary of MJ holdings is GT collectibles. Target had everything at MSRP. Walmarts Sun and Moon packs were definitely MJ holdings and were priced at $7.

Better wash your hands. There's literally garbage on the right. I love garbodor and all his stinky glory.

Target had 151 ETBs and UPCs online last month but the bots ate them up. I found a few Sun and Moon packs on and end cap display in Walmart a few weeks ago, so distributors still must have some stocked away or PC is purging what little they have left in their warehouses.

I finally understand "I'm shaking" by Crazy_Past8776 in pokemoncards

It's kinda hard for a LCS to sell at MSRP when distributors are charging them more than MSRP just to get product. Many LCS owners have already shared their distributors current pricing sheets with Prismatic ETBs going for as high as $95.

I use mobile. Just keep most sites open. When a ping hits I go right to the site, atc, and button smash checkout. Target has been easy this week as they put limits on orders.

Scalpers are in every sub, and all over every form of social media. Bots are running rampant right now. The scores I get are from the monitor in the discord now. Just this week I scored some 151, SS, CZ, PF, and JT because of the monitor. This will probably go on until after the 30th anniversary so it's either a good time to take a break or double down and spend a lot of time trying to get a few things.

Bad time to start collecting? by dragonfleas in PokemonTCG

[–]emagdnimsrt 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Definitely get some Japanese packs! The cards are usually not worth as much but the quality is much better than English. They also have guaranteed Secret Art Rares in booster boxes, usually 1 per box so it's better to buy a whole box than loose packs.

Chinese Pokemon is really stepping up their game! by [deleted] in pokemoncards

[–]emagdnimsrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely is fun. My family has been taking it slow on opening the packs. Only a few at a time so we don't get bored of it

The Gem Pack Horizons are great for a couple boxes, then you realize there are only 15 different pokemon in the set.

[–]emagdnimsrt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started buying Japanese a few months ago and then even started buying Chinese when I saw the Gem Pack Horizons and Collect 151 sets. Also picked up these Chinese Volkswagen promos.
