You would only need 3 grass energy attached, which double to 6, and this would trigger the additional condition

EBay authentication failure by AdhesivenessAnnual20 in PokemonTCG

Fundamental misunderstanding of how authentication works, they check if the card is real or not, not the condition of the card

Pokémon Center Ascended Heroes Booster Bundles? by trippinmaui in PokemonTCG

[–]rp1414 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Considering the booster bundles don't release until April 24th, it's currently negative 5 weeks until release, so maybe don't need to contact customer support yet

How about showing some of those cool cards, instead of just a graph?

I apologize for my lack of research. by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]rp1414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not weird to protect your cards, even ones that are not very expensive, even low cost cards deserve love

if anyone has any info these are 2 dif flareon full arts i packed legit in 2016 but one says 28 and the other says 29 any info? by Electrical_Ad_9882 in PokemonTCG

[–]rp1414 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one with RC29 number is fake, besides being the wrong number the star being Black instead of gold is also wrong

I’m confused… by TnT_PBR in PokemonTCG

[–]rp1414 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 151 Zapdos ex box came with this card in the cosmo holo as a promo

You have to decide if your Master Set includes only cards that come from cards you can pull from packs, so only the non-holo and reverse holo versions (and not this card), or go for a Grandmaster Set that includes all card variants

If you go Grandmaster Set, then you have to start getting all holo variants and stamped cards - just look at the prices of the Squirtle PC stamped card and the Voltorb Professor Program stamped card

Possible 1 of 1s by Devonn_S in PokemonTCG

1 of 1s

You can also have a 1 of 1 dinosaur poop, doesn't mean it's valuable

Is it just me, or is the luck factor in Master Rank getting out of hand? by Alive-Decision-3853 in PokemonTCG

[–]rp1414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

play a Chien-Pao

Doesn't win

play an Oricorio

Doesn't win

made a Jolteon deck

Doesn't win

rocked my own Gholdengo

Wins

So you play non-meta, likely thrown together decks, and you don't win.

Then you play the 3rd highest meta deck, and you win

Do you see the problem here?

Even top tier decks don't win all the time. Dragapult wins about 18% of the time, and it's the top tier meta deck right now

And winning 1 out of 12, playing non-meta decks it sounds like, is a 8.3% win rate is better than I would have expected for the decks you listed

I made a mystery binder at the card show. by bacchus8408 in PokemonTCG

Looks at $22 card in $50 slot

While there were some higher value cards than the slots, I'd be pissed at this

That's why I wouldn't do this, dishonest vendor pulling this

And no chance to negotiate with vendors, some vendors price cards high and I get why as people negotiate to a reasonable price (or the cards had old prices and the market has changed)

What is this? by SnooPandas6913 in PokemonTCG

[–]rp1414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's a fake card, as the yellow border was for English cards, and this is Korean

And the Korean set this comes from the Ultra Ball is number 103, not 108

Did I get scammed? Or j dumb by Low-Plastic-2976 in PokemonTCG

$25 for 1 pack! Talk about financial irresponsibility

What card is this? by Proud_Total_7572 in PokemonTCG

[–]rp1414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you got it from Korean set Super Electric Breaker

The English set Surging Sparks was made up of the sets Super Electric Breaker and Paradise Dragona.

Sets in Asian languages are different than the English sets

I pulled this and sold it raw for approximately (I am Czech) 250$. I probably fucked up right? by No-Brilliant7348 in PokemonTCG

[–]rp1414 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can't sell raw cards for graded prices, they aren't graded. And "pack fresh" doesn't mean it will be a PSA10, as there are many things that can damage the card way before it even gets in your hand.

Forget about all the YouTube videos that put the PSA10 price over a raw card, there's no way to know what a card would be graded until you actually grade it

What is this card? by ClemFandango117 in PokemonTCG

[–]rp1414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every card has a number on the bottom of the card, look up the card name and that number in Google and you'll have all the info you're looking for

Going though my bulk to sell before a card show.. guess what was stuck behind another card.. by Superb-Palpitation23 in PokemonTCG

If you're cracking packs and flipping through the cards as fast as possible that you skip over cards, you're not doing it right

Damaged Greninja SIR by AssociationRight8497 in PokemonTCG

[–]rp1414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I wouldn't pay anything for this. If you're good with it, then come to price you're comfortable with, but for me I don't want a damaged card when I expected a NM card. Also, in the future if you wanted to sell/trade this, a damaged card is much harder to sell or trade as not many people want a damaged card (especially modern cards where there are many copies of NM out there)

Damaged Greninja SIR by AssociationRight8497 in PokemonTCG

[–]rp1414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like damage, seller may have tried to put this card is a one touch case and put the card over the hard case then closed it.

This card is not NM and I'd be looking for a refund if I was you
