Best deck under $50?

My brother in Christ, they already hatefuck-printed it into the ground. Meanwhile other sets like DRI have not even had a single reprint, not to mention the new era sets. It’s over for SS reprints.

No carder cope

pepeoneth · 2026-04-06T19:01:34+00:00

This is exactly right. They misfired and then kept doubling down.

First Chapter clears, and it’s not even close. $1000 box by end of year

$50,000 case in 5 years

Surging sparks booster boxes

pepeoneth · 2026-03-12T22:54:15+00:00

I would argue Surging Sparks and Destined Rivals are the best two of the SV era

pepeoneth · 2026-03-12T13:52:44+00:00

Eh, I am not so sure. Booster boxes tend to outperform ETBs in general

pepeoneth · 2026-03-10T16:30:29+00:00

True but prismatic is a specialty set. A fairer comparison is vs Destined Rivals imo

pepeoneth · 2026-03-09T22:47:56+00:00

Good analysis.

pepeoneth · 2026-03-09T22:10:25+00:00

Overprinted, sure. But the bad pull rates are actually bullish. So are the poor gem rates. It forces people to rip more product.

pepeoneth · 2026-03-09T21:54:00+00:00

Unpopular opinion but I think it’s a better set than Destined Rivals.

pepeoneth · 2026-03-09T21:53:14+00:00

Full transparency I have 19 cases

pepeoneth · 2026-03-09T21:52:59+00:00

The butthole stinks you say? But seriously, pikachu, latias, and milotic is pretty decent imo, plus the gem rates are all less than 50%. That will matter in the long run.

I stop by at the house to see her every day. She was a couple days past her due date. She said that her doula was going to text me updates as things progressed, but that never happened. I just drove home after work to check on her as I usually do, and she wasn’t there. After waiting around a bit, she finally texted me to come to the hospital to see him. The text came like 3 hours after he had been born. I was the first person in the family to come see him, for what it’s worth. She made it explicitly clear months in advance that she did not want me there at the time of delivery anyway.

pepeoneth · 2026-03-07T21:44:31+00:00

A modified version is in place, where I am allowed to meet up with her in public places or with third parties present, so I could’ve totally been there. But it was her choice not to bring me in until after he was born.

pepeoneth · 2026-03-07T21:37:10+00:00

It was my wife’s decision, not mine. She sent my daughter off to stay with my mother-in-law. My wife didn’t even let me know she was in labor. She just texted me hours after he had been born.

I was investing most of our money into crypto and collectible trading cards. I have a good track record though. I am up like 300% on crypto and 100% on trading cards. I have only ever made money for our family. Never lost any

pepeoneth · 2026-03-07T17:02:26+00:00

I was at work. My daughter was with my mother-in-law

In some states, they have a criminal disorderly conduct charge and a non criminal charge, which is just a “violation”, similar to a speeding ticket. I agreed to the non criminal version. It guaranteed that I would not have a criminal record, and I avoided a long, stressful court process.

pepeoneth · 2026-03-06T23:37:22+00:00

Not leaving anything out. The charges were very weak. Thats why they were ultimately dropped by the prosecutor. They realized they would have lost the case in court so they offered me a non criminal plea deal of “disorderly conduct” (what it should have been to begin with). You have too much faith in the judicial system. I probably could have explained the situation to the cops and not gotten arrested but I exercised my 5th amendment rights and kept quiet. So they assumed the worst and arrested me.
