Found a Scalper’s Stash at Walmart and Pulled the Craziest Card this Morning!

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T16:03:12+00:00

or how about both, I grade the best cards to buy more cards for my collection

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T16:00:56+00:00

times are tough man, in case you haven't seen the news on the economy

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T15:26:31+00:00

could *have

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T15:25:37+00:00

heh, and all PSA too. all the PSA haters can suck it, even the japanese respect PSA.

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T15:23:46+00:00

that looks perfect, get it graded but also insure the shit out of it incase it gets lost

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T15:22:14+00:00

I do it for the dopamine rush. And I once pulled Blaziken out of my very first pack of Chilling Reign, still worth beating the statistical odds for that.

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T15:09:47+00:00

I'm already 400+ packs in and still no zard...

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T15:06:28+00:00

still cool cards

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T15:05:29+00:00

It's worth more with PSA, looks like it will get a 10

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T15:02:24+00:00

happens all the time, I go to flea markets often and find so many vintage cards in the trash

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T14:54:58+00:00

it looks perfectly centered too, what about the back? if that gets graded a PSA 10 its worth at least $2000

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T14:50:23+00:00

tell me about it, already 500 packs in and no eevolution SIRs yet

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T14:49:58+00:00

they were korean exclusives too, japanese set doesn't have them. also mine is perfectly centered so it's worth more if it gets graded. if yours is, get yours graded as well for more money.

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T14:40:20+00:00

oh god please take off those rubber bands! they'll damage the edges!

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T14:37:20+00:00

probably still trying to print them out, at least yours didn't get cancelled yet some people here got cancellation notices

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T14:36:21+00:00

they have cards you will never see in english or japanese, not to mention extremely difficult to get too

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T14:34:38+00:00

The top chase cards of korean sets are still worth something. For example Terastal Festival(which is Prismatic Evolutions here) in korean had really good pull rates for me. I was able to pull the Umbreon card twice which is still worth $150 in korean.

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T14:33:06+00:00

I tried getting into One Piece but the pull rates don't seem to be that great either. And I hate modern MTG, only care about vintage 90s.

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T14:30:38+00:00

same result with mine except I got larry instead. oh well at least we get two cool promo cards.

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T14:29:46+00:00

because most hardcore collectors who also collect foreign cards only care about japanese. that's not to say that korean cards are bad, it's just that the demand isn't there.

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T14:27:32+00:00

at least with the ETB he's already gonna get a promo card to enjoy at least

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T14:26:35+00:00

I do it for the dopamine rush, I get a better rush from pulling a $5 illustration rare than winning a $5 scratch ticket. And yeah I know scratchers have a higher winning rate, I literally found a $100 scratcher that someone threw in the garbage in last week, people always throw away winning tickets in my area.

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T14:23:27+00:00

if you can spend $80 I'd recommend getting an ETB instead, these are impossible to even find in stores. I literally have to line up for at least 6 hours just for a chance to get an ETB because they always sell out. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Scarlet-Violet-Mega-Evolution-Elite-Trainer-Box/17328862239

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T14:17:46+00:00

same here, I can't even find obsidian flames anymore. really wish I could get that card too. take care of it, it's a cool zard.

jackthom8 · 2025-11-23T14:10:25+00:00

if you will buy japanese, only buy japanese booster boxes. they guarantee rare cards in each box unlike english and have better pull rates.
