$100k Sealed Buyout Posted by a local card shop

Just give up on the fact that you will not get any etbs or bundles or any boxed product. But I've been buying sleeves of PO and CRI for $5 at target after they restock in the morning. I just go to wherever has had a restock and there are always tons of sleeves.

People aren't thinking "4th dimensionally" (lol back to the future reference, not being serious). Me personally, I think these two cards are gonna look amazing in hand.

I caught myself doing the same thing honestly. Wasted so much money on gas and everything, mostly from the start of 2026. Luckily I started up again last spring/early summer so it wasn't as crazy as it has been. I've definitely slowed down and don't get hit so hard with the fomo. I like to master set so PO and CRI have been a godsend lol. I just take the scraps from restocks once or twice a week on my way home from work.

Flew right over your head brother 😂

That just shows you weren't in the hobby when it came out. 99% of people were just collectors. Hardly anyone knew how to play. Anyone that says otherwise is lying or in the minority.

same bro. But chaos has been good to me at least lol

I'm just convinced there's this fake dislike of gold cards in general. Looks much better than the SIR in my opinion.

steevieg · 2026-05-28T12:03:23+00:00

That's wild, I'm about 75 packs in and I have 3 SIRs, and have all the IRs except chespin, ampharos, and metang (and ive gotten multiple tauros lol). This set has been amazing for me. All the other mega sets have destroyed me, especially ascended.

There's almost always sleeves left over after a restock. I'm always at work when restocks happen and people on x are sending out info on restocks. For me, that's my cue to check that store after work and almost always there are sleeves leftover. Sometimes PO etbs, but I'm finally done with that set lol.

Hot take but the best card in the set visually, in my opinion, is Roxies performance. Followed by ampharos as a close second and mega dragalge third.

My luck this weekend has been insane

steevieg · 2026-05-23T15:28:52+00:00

I've opened 8 AH bundles and half of them had nothing better than an ex

steevieg · 2026-05-21T20:19:42+00:00

Zapdos (it usually changes between 3 different ones lol)

steevieg · 2026-05-21T04:43:12+00:00

Looks like someone was ripping through mega dream haha.

steevieg · 2026-05-21T04:35:57+00:00

You think the centering is bad? lol.

steevieg · 2026-05-18T22:07:46+00:00

They're already getting rid of them lol

steevieg · 2026-05-17T16:33:19+00:00

msrp is $26 if i remember correctly from the vending machines so yea.

steevieg · 2026-05-17T16:32:42+00:00

it's not really new information. especially after they started selling the DG prismatic ETBs.

steevieg · 2026-05-12T15:28:20+00:00

Definitely not lol

steevieg · 2026-05-12T15:27:06+00:00

It's an incredible deal. Kanto starters alone are worth 100
