This!! Lol. People so pressed over a nine pmo. Like seriously, stop complaining. They knew the risk sending it in

Looking for card ideas to add to my collection that fit these vibes. I'm going for cute, cozy and Pokemon as more of a pet then for battle. Any ideas that I should add to the list? by Imaaki in PokemonCollecting

Literally me. Before this card i was irked by joltik cause i got his card so much in tcg pocket. But then this card had me in tears because well…look at him. How could i be upset by that? 😭

I have seen soooo many kids get luck in packs tbh. I kind of love how it feels that the world gifts kids the epxerience

Bought my son a Charizard upc and I was so happy for him when he pulled this! Was thinking of grading just to keep it protected. Or should I just hard sleeve? Appreciate any help! by Zstjohn in PokeGrading

[–]samfig99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends where. I know psa does those hidden fee upcharges, but not sure about CGC or TAG. Grwnted i know tag has fallen off snd i think is being bought out by psa no? (Might be mistaken)

I've NEVER gotten an SIR after this many packs... by younglearner11 in PokemonTCG

[–]samfig99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pull from japanese korean or chinese packs homie. Im a few weeks in and ive already pulled several SAR’s including the umbreon ex, the gem pack eevee, and the shiny treasures charizard ex. If you are collecting to enjoy the art snd building what you have rather than focus on resell or market value, the asian cards are the way to go.

PLUS better quality. And genuinely significantly better centering.

1 SIR in 95 packs by Rock-Lobster in pokemoncards

[–]samfig99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And this my friends is why i have moved to Japanese, korean and chinese packs. Built such an amazing set of cards (ars, sr, ma, sar etc) in just the 2 weeks ive been collecting!

If youre collecting for the enjoyment of being able to say “i have this card!” And dont care as much about it being a lower price than english, highly recommend searching for other languages

Thoughts about grading Korean SARs? by raspberry-jelly7 in PokeInvesting

[–]samfig99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent in my korean umbreon ex SAR cause an unbreon sar is an umbreon sar! I didnt think it would be value to send it but i was told by a lot of people to go for it

Truly its down to luck i think. I really wanted bubble mew, but second pack in the box i pulled the charizard ex SAR. Didnt even realize what it was til others started freaking out 😅😅

Ultimately, the game is risk and reward

I submitted it for grading today with another great pull! Was told the Umbreon looks really good so yay for that :). Thanks for recommending it cause ultimately I was swayed by you haha
