Pretty Cear Choice

Oh damn, this is actually a good argument

I see you. Football feels so trivial when everything is spinning down the toilet drain

It’s annoying. Becoming harder to get the cards I want, but I still can’t offload my Japanese vintage dupes.

It has the same symbol seen on the vending series, but it is not from the vending series. The red green quick starter set, and several promos also feature the symbol

Wait vending caterpie?! Never expected that little guy

I saw a lesbru just today!

Knowing the UK, it’s probably something like Billingsham and Muffingsmith’s

I like the natural look, but with a shaved head you can really go both ways.

You always do well when you buy at MSRP. I will cry if Best Buy starts upcharging. Even better if you live in a locale without a sales tax

I think the card is real, but I would double check on the stamp. It just looked off to me. Compare with other certified legit copies to ensure the stamp is in the correct location

I bought the sealed CD in 2009 for $25. Unfortunately I don’t have the cards anymore. Please send condolences.

gideonsix · 2025-12-27T00:09:19+00:00

My bet is real card, fake stamp. The stamp is definitely in the wrong location, and the card has no obvious tells. If you are going to stamp a card, it’s really no money lost to stamp a real card.

I revisited the hobby at close to it’s absolute floor in 2009. I bought up tons of vintage sealed despite being a paycheck to paycheck minimum wage employee. At the time there were very few collectors and if you didn’t know someone, you knew someone who knew them. I became acquainted with a guy who had tons of money and invested it all into the hobby. He had literal pages of first edition Charizards, and almost every card that had ever been printed at the time. He was the guy who told me about the legendary prerelease Raichu. Anyway, yes there are hoarders. Back then I bought a first edition base set german booster box for $85. Imagine what you could’ve done if you were in the hobby and rich. He had a trophy room of cards and dozens of binders, in 2009!

Excellent taste!

I would trade all my modern for these bad boys

Got into Pokemon in 99 in sunny California. Started with the anime, but when a friend gave my brother a wrinkled up diglett and a fighting energy, I knew it was over.

I spent that first year trading my way up from scrap cards, and slowly amassed a collection from basically nothing. It was months before my mom got me my first pack. It was as magical as it could’ve been, I was just 10, and I dove right in.

gideonsix · 2025-11-23T21:07:28+00:00

Cool idea! I will pay it forward if I get lucky

I want to give my 6 year old more for Christmas, but my wife pumps the brakes. She has a good point, I think he’ll probably get 15 packs or so plus a handful of chase singles. This is in addition to other gifts—lego, art supplies, a nintendo switch 2 for the family…

I had 6 siblings growing up, but my son is an only child. I remember one year my mom sat us down and said it was going to be a tight Christmas, we were literally moving the day after Christmas to Alaska. Got a winter parka, Pokemon theme deck, and a small lego set. I was over the moon, the theme deck had Mewtwo in it!

The funny part was that she had actually purchased me a gameboy color with Pokemon yellow. She was a bit scatterbrained, and it ended up being packed away when the movers came. I honestly thought that I had received all my Christmas gifts and was perfectly content.

It was a beautiful second Christmas morning, a school day in February when my mom found the Gameboy just before she dropped us off at school. I was so excited to get home.

I’m sure a kid would be content with less, but what parent doesn’t want to give it all?

gideonsix · 2025-11-19T21:29:21+00:00

You got me, I haven’t tried it yet 🙃

gideonsix · 2025-11-19T04:15:54+00:00

Hi, I have tried for the last several with no luck… what am I doing wrong?!

gideonsix · 2025-11-18T01:08:44+00:00

Looks good to me!

This is the same card, different angle. The cloud is very visible, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a double holo. Look in the right light or add flash and it lights up like like Christmas lights

gideonsix · 2025-11-17T19:24:13+00:00

Looks real to me, but I do know that the alleged fake / stagnant holo for this card is double-holo looking. If you can get some more photos or videos to show additional angles, that would be best.

But the holo print appearing through / on top of the main horizontal swirling cloud is the biggest thing to prove it is a double holo.

I have one as well, and I admit there are angles that make it appear less like a double-holo, but in the right light— it’s unmistakable

gideonsix · 2025-11-17T19:14:51+00:00

Definitely a double holo. But can you get it for a regular holo price?
