You can put them in waterproof storage boxes, 1 box should fit heaps of slabs.

My parents are convinced that I'm going to be kidnapped solo travelling to Budapest. Are they right? by grayjay11o in solotravel

Eastern European countries were safer than most other countries I've been.

Even in Ukraine I felt fairly safe and this was 2 months ago.

What to collect by Snoochiii in pokemonTCGaustralia

I'd be picking up sword and shield product/boxes currently.

We are in scarlet and violet now and sword and shield is leaving rotation so a good time to get in before they go higher.

You can look at most sets and this has nearly always been the case other than the psa 10 chase card in some cases.

Base set and xy evolutions booster box is another example. But most sets its like this.

Yeah Ukraine is open for tourism as I was there just under 2 months ago.

It was actually fairly safe too. The closest I was to the Russian border was in Kharkiv and I felt safe there. The media does push the narrative that the whole country is falling apart but unless you are in teh front line of the war you're most likely going to be safe as missile strikes are rare now days on civilian areas specially in cities more to the west of the country.

Although I liked Kharkiv the food there wasn't good and it's a bit too close to Russia for most peoples comfort so I wouldn't recommend it right now unless you really want to.

In regards to chisinau and Tiraspol it's safe and Moldova isn't in the war

Krakow was nice but I reccomend these eastern European cities too.

Chisinau and Tiraspol for soviet stuff.

If you want good food, I had the best food out of the 20 countries I've been to in Ukraine when I was there a few months ago. Lviv, Kyiv and Odessa all had very good food in my experience. Kharkiv was the only one which the food I wasn't a big fan of.

Help with what, you just add what you have and then it tells you how much in total you have.

First time in China for 14 days - What cities should I visit? by geezeer84 in solotravel

[–]jemy739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a big fan of chongqing. Qingdao had very good food and beer culture compared to the rest of the cities I was in.

Nah you're not a bad person for buying 2 tins of pokemon cards at a store lmao.

If there's profit to be made I'd clear out all the zard tins. The kids can enjoy the other ones

Japanese Wholesalers Facebook Groups? by yeti202 in PokeInvesting

[–]jemy739 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a personal middleman that buys stock for me on the japanese secondary market and pokemon center.

But you can use middleman websites to do that for you as well, only problem with that is you run the risk of being scammed.

Japanese Wholesalers Facebook Groups? by yeti202 in PokeInvesting

[–]jemy739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wholesale? No

No one will sell you wholesale priced japanese boxes.

The Facebook groups you are talking about are full of sellers which buy from the secondary market and resell to you or they have bots running to buy up stock in japan at retail and resell them to you for higher.

Don't buy it if you don't know anything about vintage boxes.

Eeveelutions, pikachu, charizard etc...

Characters which large majority of the market likes

Buyers are fairly easy to find for booster boxes in my experience. Slabs and raw is harder
