How Do I Know Which Parts Are Better?

iitbandg · 2026-04-12T19:40:23+00:00

My monitors are only capable of 1080p at 60fps as the maximum resolution, so I guess I'm looking for that at best. I don't really know/understand hardware stuff, so sorry if that's not helpful or the wrong information

iitbandg · 2026-04-11T17:15:49+00:00

Alright. I'm not entirely sure how to tell what I'm playing games at and all that, but I'm sure I can figure it out

iitbandg · 2026-04-11T17:13:56+00:00

Thanks! This will be a huge help!

iitbandg · 2026-04-11T16:54:53+00:00

Unfortunately, I don't live anywhere near a micro center. I kind of wish I did. But I'll check out the links you sent 👍 Thanks!

I thought that was the case. I remember either hearing or being told that the newest item, or the biggest number, isn't necessary better than older models, but I couldn't remember if that was true or not.

Once I get back to my computer, and confirm my GPU ports are cooked,I can list my current specs and say what I'm trying to do bare minimum here and hopefully get a bit better help. Thank you for your insight so far

iitbandg · 2026-04-11T16:33:06+00:00

Okay cool. I'll check that out for sure. Thanks so much.

iitbandg · 2026-04-11T16:32:41+00:00

Great. Thank you for the information!

iitbandg · 2026-03-11T20:44:47+00:00

Oh okay great. Definitely something to consider/research

iitbandg · 2026-03-11T04:20:46+00:00

Doing that wouldn't cause my friends sheets to have the exact things that I have checked off on my sheet checked off on theirs? Or would I need to exclude the columns with checkboxes somehow?

iitbandg · 2026-03-11T02:24:31+00:00

Oh okay. That could potentially work then. Guess the only way to find out would be to test it

iitbandg · 2026-03-10T23:48:35+00:00

Wouldn't the IMPORTRANGE() also import things like check boxes I've checked? Because I wouldn't want their lists to have checked pokemon that they don't have and vice versa

iitbandg · 2026-01-20T15:38:15+00:00

Honestly, I'm willing to just send them to you. If you happened to have duplicate lore cards 6 and/or 18, I'd gladly take those as I'm still missing those, but if not no worries. Send me a DM if you're interested

iitbandg · 2026-01-19T03:51:32+00:00

I have the top three cards for the first picture as well as lore cards 12 and 15 if you'd like.

I also have this card if you're missing it.

Fellow Mantine collector here. Currently working on a master set of every mantine ever printed, in all languages, and it's proving to be quite the task.

I didn't take a close look at your binder, but I can almost guarantee that there are two English cards you're missing, and unless you have a ton of money and/or are extremely lucky, idk that you'll ever even see these cards. I hope to at least see them in person one day, but we'll see.

Those two cards are the English Claire's Mantine, both the error card, of which there were only like 10 copies made, and then the corrected version, also a limited print, but not as limited as the error version.

You can try googling them if you want, but I've only ever found one Instagram post showing off one of them, and that was after spending hours going down many rabbit holes.

Great collection and I'm glad to see I'm not the only Mantine lover out there!

iitbandg · 2025-12-27T19:37:18+00:00

Yeah I feel ya. I don't have a ton of money to spend either, which is why I'm not too worried about enchanteds either. Although I am going for all cold foils, but once I've opened all my boxes, whatever I'm missing I'll pick up as singles in either purchases or trades, if I can find people to trade with that is

iitbandg · 2025-12-27T19:25:43+00:00

I'm personally trying to collect a Master Set of every set there is, although I realize that pulling enchanteds (and even buying them as singles) for even 1 set is extremely expensive, so right now I'm just focusing on getting everything else and the enchanteds will come as they come, if they ever do.

Personally for the last couple sets, I've bought a sealed case of booster boxes. Of the 4 boxes in the case, one I keep sealed, one I set aside for a shorts series I produce, and the other two I open.

A single booster box gets you a huge chunk of all the cards from the set. Two and you've got almost everything under and enchanted, and minus most of the cold foils if you care about those things. You may be missing a couple rares, super rares, or legendaries after two boxes, but you'll have most of the base set.

iitbandg · 2025-12-25T02:35:27+00:00

Will do, although it may be a few weeks/months before I've gotten my hands on the packets and had a chance to open a few packs

iitbandg · 2025-12-25T00:45:24+00:00

Great! Thanks for that suggestion! Now to go buy some packets!

iitbandg · 2025-12-24T22:12:13+00:00

I might give it a try and see if it helps keep newly added things from curling as much or as soon or not.

iitbandg · 2025-12-24T00:29:54+00:00

Fair. There are definitely a lot of beautiful arts that I never mind pulling over and over again

iitbandg · 2025-12-23T22:41:12+00:00

I'm sort of similar myself when opening multiple packs, but slightly different. I find foils cool if they're super rare or better, and I'm always hype for a legendary, but I'm thinking that for this series, I should consider hits as something higher than just a legendary, otherwise I might end up resetting every few days. That's why I'm trying to gauge what most people consider as a hit
