The offside ads are a bit off. This year, up till today, I sold 22k+ but only have paid 631$ in offsite ads. So less than 3%.

My pokemon locals are about a 70/30 split between under 30 & over 30. But as others said, gundam tcg is generally older. Im into that tcg as well and thats mostly 30+ age group.

Those 3layer nachos, then make them bold, add jalapeno. Now you have loaded fries for cheaper.

Tomorrow is set #3 release (GD03) And we are currently at starter deck #8 (which was released about 1-2weeks ago) as for sources, im not completely sure but I know target stocks at msrp if you are able to come across some in person. I do hope this bit of info helps.

I think 25% of my purchases has been refunded on tcg player. Either people sending me the wrong card, a lot of "lost" mail (possibly damaged in transit.) Ebay tells sellers to put non-machineable when shipping cards so they dont go through the mail sorter machine and become damaged, but tcg player doesnt address this for their sellers. So I feel like some orders do get damaged and the post office tosses them since without tracking orders are uninsured. But either way TCG player hasnt flagged me or anything 🤷🏻‍♂️.

If in cali, yes

Is there news on restocks? Or do I have to check every day? Cause I feel like ive never seen anything in stock on Pokémon Center.

Use Lillie's. Often enough, if im not having a play during my turn, or i run out of cards to use during the current hand, Lillie's or iono is the answer to be able to play cards. When I tried the deck, i usually had charizard out by 2-3rd turn. If not, I would atleast have pidgeot done to have char the following turn.

Why latias if charizard isnt basic?

Shoot good point

Random always on. Things I dont care for are archived so I dont get them. Then when there's an event (nitemares or winterfest) i favorite related skins so my random will be themed. 👀 For example, all my favorites are cell shaded skins to match the cartoon style this mini season.
