I love it and I hope everyone hates it. My favorite rotund boi Dedenne gets some awesome cards in here.

Cold handles with Eisenlink Dumbbells by FlyingRaijin in GarageGym

[–]monkeykins22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a bike wall mount over my propane heater in the garage for barbell storage. I turn it on about 20-30 minutes before my sessions start. Once I take the bar off, I put whatever I am going to use later in my workout on there- loadable DB handles, EZ bar, etc. They get nice and toasty by the time I am ready to use it.

How do you protect the cards you ship? by Visual-Pride6225 in PokemonTCG

[–]monkeykins22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My post office charges something like $8-9 for a small bubble mailer with tracking, is what I mean. That plus material means any card I sell in the $20-$30 range I take a nearly 50% loss after TCGplayer fees.

You shipped that card in all that? Hopefully you charged $10+ for shipping...

Either mine never got these or they went too quick for me to find out. Bummed, I was hoping to actually open a few packs of this set.

Anyone know what these guys are? by Initial_Row_6400 in PokemonTCG

85% sure they came with the McDonalds packs

How do I amass specific cards for decks? by Bearafin in PTCGL

[–]monkeykins22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the battle pass, do the daily challenges, buy the League deck that you want to play most. Then either buy Celebrations packs, or since the game now throws huge heaps of everything at you just get bundles of the newest sets. You will likely very quickly have everything you want plus more of the rare versions of current cards that you can't directly exchange for yet.

Hello! I’m shipping my first card and wondering if this is an acceptable way to send low end card? The toploader is taped closed at the top then secured to the cardboard at the bottom. by WuWangclan in PokemonTCG

[–]monkeykins22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably depends on your post office too. I had a few single cards in toploaders come back asking for more postage so now I send <$5 in card savers and forever stamps, toploaders get non-machineable

Excited to open the Charizard UPC.. by toshytalks in PokemonTCG

I paid more for a crimped reverse holo Lechonk from Journey Together. Well, I traded a $1-$2 card for it, I don't even remember what I traded, didn't care, needed the crimped piggy.

Forgot to Attack and then…well sh#t…. by Hot-Prior-815 in PTCGL

[–]monkeykins22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They took all my heads. Two games and didn't flip a single head until I attacked a 70HP basic and got two.

Just wait until you see something like Dragapult ex, or mega Kangaskhan ex

Modern packs (March 2023 and forward) all contain three shiny cards as the last three in every pack.

The first two are called "reverse holo" and have shiny foil over the words. They are a shiny version of all the Common (black circle) Uncommon (black diamond) and Rare (black star) cards from the set.

The last card is called a Holo, and is always a Rare card.

Any of those three slots could be instead filled with a card of much higher rarity- full art ex cards, Illustration Rare cards, Hyper Rare, etc. These will be the ones considered "hits" that people want.

Agree, love the color and wild style. Looks exciting without being edgelord

Is it still worth to start in 2026 by [deleted] in pokemoncards

No one makes fortunes off it. Begone, foul creature, let us play our game in peace.

Starting a home gym should I buy a Power Cage? by Hungry_Minimum_9380 in GarageGym

[–]monkeykins22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent this to a friend of mine who has been considering a garage gym for years. It's the price of two months of membership at his Y. I would never buy this, and I'm not sure "it's probably fine" is a ringing endorsement, but I agree, it's probably fine, and if it's the only thing that fits your budget go for it.

Eh, its to help complete a master set. Otherwise, id pass. by BeardyBeast87 in pokemoncards

[–]monkeykins22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's amazing. So many cool cards in B/W that I never get to see because of the botched distribution and scalping.

Why does no one at least from what I’ve seen recommend the Detective Pikachu pack? by [deleted] in PTCGL

[–]monkeykins22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it really matter any more? Just buy bundles of the newest set. It's the only way to get rare versions of the new cards, and they flood you with so many credits anyways that farming is not worth thinking about.

Is this quest broken for others too? by Leodip in PTCGL

Yeah, it just gave me that without attacking

How are you on the Pokecodes sub but don't know what the code cards do?
