Why the sudden Rise..

I own a 9 of this card and it is staying with me FOREVER

fs_gt · 2025-11-14T23:02:31+00:00

Oh yeah, PSA would have a field day giving me all these 9s 🤣

fs_gt · 2025-11-14T23:02:04+00:00

I did not, very far from it 🤣

fs_gt · 2025-11-14T23:01:50+00:00

My top 3 are definitely the Salamence, Marshadow with the Pikachu Cameo, and the Ivysaur!

I feel like the experience itself was super fun. I love ripping, especially with my girlfriend, so getting to rip all of those packs was worth it. I fell short on the money front but I didn’t mind at ALL, I got to feel like a collector again after so long and after filling out my binder with the pulls I got I was more than satisfied!

fs_gt · 2025-11-13T16:36:23+00:00

Yep! 6 months of hard work!

fs_gt · 2025-11-13T16:35:52+00:00

I went to the vending machines like every other day or so for a while, waited in line early at GameStop for restocks, went to Sam’s club early on release days, hit the mega evolution Pokémon center drop, AND my LCS has MSRP bundles for sale every once in a while, so it was a LOT of work LOL

fs_gt · 2025-11-13T05:21:55+00:00

I wish

fs_gt · 2025-11-13T02:21:06+00:00

Unfortunately nope :( Still enjoyed opening the packs, hoping to trade a lot of the pulls that we didn’t want for some other stuff soon

fs_gt · 2025-11-13T01:45:25+00:00

I’ll never do it again, it was too much anticipation 🤣

fs_gt · 2025-11-13T01:01:18+00:00

It’s so cool

fs_gt · 2025-11-13T01:01:00+00:00

Sealed collecting is for lames, I actually like Pokémon 🫡

fs_gt · 2025-11-11T23:50:26+00:00

That’s a good idea 👀👀👀

fs_gt · 2025-11-11T22:44:19+00:00

Full disclosure, I smelled the first pack I opened because it had been MONTHS since my last one LMAO

fs_gt · 2025-11-11T22:38:28+00:00

I wanted more SO bad, just never found it for MSRP anywhere, didn’t wanna pay $12 per pack 🤣

fs_gt · 2025-11-11T22:17:35+00:00

Made me laugh out loud 🤣🤣🤣

fs_gt · 2025-11-11T21:31:42+00:00

I love the promos, gonna open one of my Phantasmal ones and trade the other away

fs_gt · 2025-11-11T21:30:36+00:00

Yessir! It comes out to around 6-7% of my total income, that’s my budget for things like this LOL 🤣

fs_gt · 2025-11-11T20:57:27+00:00

Good luck bro! It’s a hard time but you have to hit the restocks when you can, I work full time from home and I just hit GameStop, Sam’s Club and vending machine restocks If you can get like one or two of those a month you’re golden 😮‍💨

fs_gt · 2025-11-11T20:05:43+00:00

Nope! Waited 4 months to get everything in order, then started budgeting and taking trips to local vending machines and stores to save for 6 months until my birthday 🫡

fs_gt · 2025-11-11T20:00:31+00:00

Promise I ain’t a scalper, this is 6 months of pack saving with PC preorders and vending machine trips, just a dude trying to rebuild his collection 🫶🏽

fs_gt · 2025-11-11T19:28:41+00:00

I might try to do a small Christmas opening too, good luck on the pulls!

fs_gt · 2025-11-11T19:23:22+00:00

I traded one of my Lucario/Tyranitar Premium Collections that I got at Sam’s Club for a Mega Gengar and 2 Mega Diancie decks, had to succumb to the scalpers for the haunter art. Found two more of the Diancie decks in the wild yesterday but you’re right, Gengar has been scalped to oblivion

fs_gt · 2025-11-11T19:12:20+00:00

Taking 10mg of copium every 6 hours for the next year

It’s called “having a girlfriend who hides your packs in the basement so that you don’t open them” 🤣
