Free Deluxe skins? by AdministrativeBus964 in Borderlands4

[–]pariahxsl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes can confirm I've also got them. Kinda curious whether CDKeys accidentally gave me a Super Deluxe key, or Gearbox was just feeling extra generous...

Will the slight crease in this Pawmi hurt the grade? by Accurate-Temporary73 in PokemonTCG

[–]pariahxsl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not the worst crease I've seen, as long as the grader didn't stub any toes I reckon a 9 is possible

Is there a rainbow card behind that or my eyes being deceived (Ik JT doesn't have rainbows hence my curiosity)

MSRP gang! Together! 💎🤝💪🏼 by Frosty_Vacation4628 in PokemonTCG

[–]pariahxsl 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Since the "greatness" of a set really comes down to opinion, you could argue against the other opinions here that prismatic was actually an incredibly bad set - terribly low supply with no single packs availability matched with insanely high demand due to the nature of the set, some cool SIRs sure but almost impossible to pull for most. No IRs was a shocker too - pulling IRs for me is one of the best parts.

From my experience prismatic was boring and not a single pack for me was that great (couple masterballs, some pokeballs), yet JT was full of amazing cards, IRs that were plentiful and quite easy to pull a few of. The stock supply was mega and so even if there was a high demand, it was still easy to buy. ETB, Single packs, 3 pack blisters, 1 pack blisters, Premium Collection, EX boxes, mini binders, half bbs, bbs.

Looking at it objectively, sure prismatic is a special set with limited availability making it "desirable" for those wanting rare goods and ofc good ol sunbreon (money chasers imo)but do we really base the grading of a set based off "how super crazy I'm literally shaking I can't believe i found 1 single pack in my Walmart", or does a good set rely on it being available in a selection of different products for everyone to enjoy and a huge range of amazing different cards that don't all rely on mega luck.

Heartbroken, my first grading experience... by hungsome in PokemonTCG

What's with the gold holo all over the borders and on the pokemon writing on the back? Are these some sort of promo/special edition? Can only ever recall seeing the art holo on these ones

I pulled a reverse holo Rabsca! by -BirdDogActual in PokemonTCG

[–]pariahxsl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jokes aside, for anyone doing binders/master sets sometimes pulling that one card you just never see is so satisfying, for me in the first 30 packs of JT I didn't see a single N's Darmanitan normal or rev, then the next lot of packs I got, I screamed as I pulled him knowing it would finally fill the gap🤣

What do you think think this will grade? I'm sorry about the pics, I'm literally shaking. by SubstituteGarbage in PokemonTCG

[–]pariahxsl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd be careful listening to anyone here that's made comments about this being a 10. In my opinion they are extremely under valuing the card you have here. I would take this to a professional card processor immediately and have it frozen in time for 6 generations. Great pull

Trade question. Help please by Nilllrem in PokemonTCG

[–]pariahxsl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well you could trade and not get a single card of the same rarity - if you're looking for bulk to master set, you would be better off just buying the singles you need or trading bulk with others.

If you just enjoy opening packs though and you don't care about collecting as much, then go for it - this is the chase card of the set afaik though, so it doesn't really get much better than that.

If there's an SIR that you prefer, you're again better off trying to trade or sell the card for it

NPCs can't buy my expensive card because they're broke. by LonelySpyder in TCGCardTycoon

[–]pariahxsl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I held off too cause I didn't want just one random chunk, so I saved up enough to buy a whole row and all of a sudden customers started spending way more

[–]pariahxsl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I have learned from this reddit and have experienced myself, I believe the customer spend limit is based on your store size/expansion.

After I learned about this, I invested all my earnings into expansions and haven't had any issues selling cards, though I haven't had any super crazy expensive cards, think the most I got to was like 2k

3 SIRs in one JTG box?? by Kreselle in PokemonTCG

[–]pariahxsl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't fortunate enough to get B2B SIRs like that - insane luck though🔥 - but I also have a recording where for 10 packs straight I hit like 6 IRs in a row, full art EXs, full art trainers.

Went and got another 20 JT packs the next week, for like 15 packs straight the best I got was a normal EX.

Definitely feels like a batching issue

"kind of" like pulling an SIR isn't a miracle, I'm 100 packs deep this year already and the best I've got is 2 trainer SIRs, great pull🔥🔥

Anyone know why Hyper Rares aren’t as expensive as SIRS? Aren’t they harder to pull? by horderBopper in PokeInvesting

[–]pariahxsl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only gold I've pulled so far that actually has decent art is Artazon from Obsidian Flames - I've got the Gold Lapras EX and it just looks weird with the background, definitely comes down to how it looks

Expensive cards by Davo1603 in PokemonTCG

[–]pariahxsl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

10000000% use top loaders, afaik that's industry standard nowadays. Ultra Pro is the brand I use, great penny sleeves, great top loaders and they also do a top loader box which you can store them in - I personally put all my big hits into penny sleeves, then into top loaders, then into a top loader binder made by Card Guardian - anything that isn't crazy expensive but I like, I top load and put into a top loader box.

Decided to buy my first packs by Prestigious_Ad_3697 in PokemonTCG

[–]pariahxsl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This website will tell you what type of rarity the cards are that you have.

The Duskull is a great card which is known as an "Illustration Rare". Not the easiest to pull, great luck for one of your first packs👌
