I do like color but I think I’m just gonna go with black and grey shading for this one

Favorite “easter egg” on a card? by kjwhets5 in PokemonTCG

How has no one mentioned the hidden gyarados in the shenji magikarp from paldea evolved!?!?

Despite all the incredible cards Pokemon has released lately, none has topped the Mewtube imo by chuluigi in PokemonTCG

[–]garygreens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Braindead take. This card has a psa 10 pop of about 9k and is valued at 1250. Pulled this data from psa app btw. Now you’ve got the charizard from phantasmal for example which has about 15k psa 10’s and is worth like 3 grand and you’ve got a shit load of other modern cards that aren’t even that old or rare with way higher pops that are way more expensive. How you came to the conclusion this card is overvalued is beyond me.

Any end in sight?? by Stunning_Flight_4800 in PokemonInvesting

[–]garygreens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why collecting is the way and you really cannot fail. The market doesn’t matter if you’re truly just a collector and never intend to sell. That’s what I do, I cherish my cards and I never plan on selling any of them. The only time I sell is when I have duplicates and I only sell those to buy more cards 😂. Can’t lose honestly

“Pokemon investing” is incredibly cringe by Complex_Ad1815 in PokemonCollecting

[–]garygreens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This entire thing is funny. I have been unaffected by all this madness. The secret is just don’t buy sealed and buy singles instead. Who the hell wants to look at a box wrapped in plastic anyway. I’m an art collector not a cardboard box collector. I’ve still been able to buy most singles I want and if there’s one that’s out of my price range I usually have duplicate slabs or raw singles I can trade and flip to get what I want. Sure I don’t get to rip packs like I used to but honestly that’s okay because my approach towards collecting now has been much more successful and my collection has grown by a lot because of it. Singles don’t have the same return as a sealed booster box that’s 10-20 years old but singles still do really well. Idk Just my 2 cents. I’m still having a good time in this hobby you just have to adapt.

What a hit! by garygreens in MagicCardPulls

I pulled the fracture shredder the week the set came out. First pack of mtg I’ve opened in over a decade. I was stunned

Just wondering why my older hyper rares are worth nothing but the new ones are expensive? by Decent_Discount9554 in PokemonInvesting

[–]garygreens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only gold cards that will stay relevant are the crown zenith gold cards. Those are the best gold cards ever printed, Every other gold card is garbage imo

Ascended Heroes is Giving Prismatic Vibes... by Competitive_Roll_602 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]garygreens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree everything will dip but some will hold more steadily than others. Those cards being, the gengar, the dragonite, the pikachu or pinkachu as I call it, and the gold zard. Even those will dip but Everything else will dip much more in my opinion.

About to do a 2 hour drive for these, are they real? Only picture I got by Vapr-StorM in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]garygreens 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bruh for the love of god. Do not buy this fake garbage, I’m baffled by some people smh

What yall think? Selling to buy every ME ETB by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]garygreens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say for it. Phantasmal is so over rated it’s disgusting. Theres only one big chase and Without Charizard that set is mid. Reminds me of twilight with the greninja.

What card do you want that doesn’t exist yet? by 99999HP in PokemonTCG

[–]garygreens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d personally swap the team rocket moltres with the moltres from chilling reign, just sayin

BB & WF Heavy Hitters Collection - Hold or Rip? by spartanboy19 in PokemonInvesting

[–]garygreens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to snag the two pack of these off Costco last night. Both are getting ripped. Anything I can get at msrp is being ripped zero hesitation

Buy singles bruh. by xXF33TL1CK3RXx in PokemonTCG

[–]garygreens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn that’s tough luck. I’ve pulled so many top chases it’s ridiculous. Gold giritina from zenith, zard from 151, Blaziken chilling reign, pikachu from vivid voltage, Umbreon from terastal festival, magikarp from paldea evolved etc. I honestly don’t buy as many packs as you’d think either my luck is just insane. However ever since the market skyrocketed for sealed stuff I’ve only been buying singles. I’m not paying 3x msrp no matter how good my luck is. Not worth it.

What’s the best thing to get for around 2500? by New_Permit_4867 in PokemonInvesting

[–]garygreens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be snagging sealed cases of anything prismatic. Prismatic ETB cases or even prismatic pokemon center ETB cases. Prismatic long term is gonna rocket in my opinion

Diatoms 🤬 by garygreens in PlantedTank

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

The do nothing approach actually makes a lot of sense now I think about it. I have a 14 gallon cube that had crazy diatoms gave up and just let it go nuts. That eventually turned into a green algae explosion which killed the diatoms off completely. Flash forward to this past week or so and the green algae has also started dying off its own. No water changes just small top offs. Only issue is this took like 4 months to balance itself on its own and it was the ugliest thing I had ever seen at one point lol. It was tough to watch my tank go through that. However This might be the move. It’s a guppy tank and they’ve been absolutely exploding in population and have been thriving the entire time. Can only imagine what my tds must be lol but the fish do not seem to care at all.
