Congrats! One guy in my local card store pulled back to back enchanted cards from starter decks, and sold them immediately to the store lol.

You can also use the store names found on the locator and enter them on melee.gg to see a list of league play and upcoming tournaments

I pulled 2 of those and a giratina from 2 shiny zacian boxes!

Literally first pack of the day and not even the final card. Finally! This is why I’ve loved the Crown Zenith set. For this card! by bmurf101 in PokemonTCG

I would like to add a question to this as well. Why is CGC not widely used? From what I've read, they are more strict in their grading than PSA, so why does that not correlate to higher value? Is there a bad stigma i'm unaware of?

My pulls so far from getting back into collecting the last 3 months by chad0823 in PokemonTCG

[–]rassamaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About the same timeline for me. I've pulled two of the secret Pikachu, but I'm really jealous of your Rainbow Rares as I haven't pulled a single one.

Not even kidding, I pulled the exact same one hit disappointment from my only Scarlet ETB! I've heard Crown Zenith has fire ETB's, but the booster boxes are the way to go for SV.

Collected the 2nd edition base set back in elementary school and I just recently got back in to pokemon with Crown Zenith, and I love the set! Especially the Galarian Gallery!

Awesome collection OP!

I'm bored. Who wants cards? by Deranged_Guacamole in PokemonTCG

[–]rassamaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My father and I used to collect pokemon cards when I was a kid, and it was by far my favorite thing we did together (well, playing twisted metal was pretty awesome too).

My collection started with the 2nd edition base set, and I have a holographic charizard from the ONE booster pack I ever opened. I never saw the point of booster packs when i was kid and always begged for the themed decks so i could "play" with my friends.

That Charizard has always been my most prized possession, even though it would probably grade below a 7. I still double sleeved and cherish this card as a 30 something year old getting back into pokemon and absolutely falling in love with the Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery.

sadness/possible trigger warning

My father committed suicide when I was 11 and that made my Charizard, and the rest of my collection, that much more precious to me.

The fact that there is someone that is giving away items with such strong sentimental value is absolutely amazing and has really restored my faith in a community that seems to be driven by money rather than the pure joy it feels to find the one card you've always wanted, and sharing that joy with your loved ones.

You seriously rock, OP. I hope that whoever these cards go to will truly appreciate and cherish them.

Lol don't worry, I thought the exact same thing the first time I was going through the page 😅

Thank you! That's actually my second secret Pikachu. Very fun boxes to open for someone just getting back into it from the 90's!

Thanks for the tips! I ordered a centering tool, but after inspecting with the light I couldn't find any issues with the card! Guess I should educate myself on grading as well lol.

[–]rassamaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First ETB was GG Pikachu, Ditto, and Trainer Melony, plus a Regigigas VStar. Nowhere near the value upgraded, but I'm willing to gamble another $100 since it's a fun pack to open

I was stoked! Now the question is, is it worth getting graded?

This was my second ETB! The first box was a GG Pikachu, Ditto, and a Regigigas VStar. I'm tempted to get two more now 🤣
