They're popular again! More so than the 90s!
They're so popular you'll get robbed at a Target!
I've made a terrible decision and gotten into collecting some of them and even playing the online TCG. The real world packs come with a code for a pack in the game so that's pretty nice. I got one of these shiny things:
and it's very shiny. My pulls weren't great but that promo Zacian rules.
Anyone engaging in cardboard crack these days? Playing or collecting?

Oh, no pokemon cards?
I gave all my cards to a younger cousin ages ago. I kind of wonder if any of them would have been worth anything.

I do however enjoy telling someone who had no idea what was in his binder why I was prepared to pay him 4 digits for his shadowless base set charizard today
*schoolground envy flashbacks intensifies*
Good job, high school me.
Honestly, it's kind of brilliant how simple the solution to the problem was. One Supporter per turn.

YOU FOOL
YOU'RE ONLY MAKING HIM STRONGER
And then playing all your energy
oh no I meant to use the super repel but I used the x-attack instead
tbh this becomes less impressive once you're older and realize that the decks you made as a kid with like 20 energy were WAAAAAAAAYYYYY too much energy
you put in 11 energy now and you're like "phew, i dunno, seems a little high"
....
Are you suggesting I crack out the TCG Gameboy game again?
Just to check what my builds were like
Assuming the memory survived ofc.
But yeah, raindance beats everything, and I'm not sure how much energy was in my other decks.
Thought it looked more like
There's routinely a couple calls a day asking if we have any cards in (only if we've received them less than two hours ago), when we'll get more (no idea), if we can hold any for them (hell no).
People have tried to purchase the limit, go out, change their shirt, and come back in to try to buy more.
One time I found a couple boxes hidden away behind a board game nearby, probably by someone hoping to come in the next day and grab them. Low-effort, though, there's plenty of spots to hide them where they'd never be found.
Stores have been instructed to specifically check the IDs of the people who are supposed to stock the display, because people have apparently come in, claimed to be a representative to be let into the receiving room, then just straight stole them from the back, there.
It's madness.
Sports cards are also popular.
we limit pokemon to 2 packs and 1 large sealed product per person per day (no sir the 1 year old in your arms doesnt count unless that kid can pay with their own money unaided by you) and everything is behind glass. mostly working off honor system because people around here are too stupid/bad liars to successfully beat my ability to pay attention
its really easy to get around some of our rules/limits and dummies give themselves away almost instantly lol
I ordered a booster box of Chilling Reign from channel fireball. Never ordered from them before but they seem reputable so here's hoping.
In the online TCG I've been playing "ADP Zacian" which is running this thing:
to fire off it's GX ability. That makes all your pokemon do more damage and if you have a water on there it also makes you get bonus prize cards when you knock out an opponent. Then you get this beautiful card out
and have it wreck shop through the enemy team. It's a lot of fun so far but the whole "can draw half my deck with trainer cards and Dedenne" is kinda weird, coming from magic.
I was thinking about spending twenty bucks to get my black gold zacian graded but apparently all the card grading companies are backed up for like a year and a half.
When I heard last year what those sell for these days I was displeased

Last month I decided to sort them and give a few of the common duplicates to my nephew who just likes the pictures. I bought a binder and I realized we have most of the original 151 except some of the rare cards. No Charizard but we do have a Holo Blastoise and a Promo Mew. They may have had a Charizard at one point, I remember they once had a Japanese Charmeleon which wasn't in this box either
I'm not planning to sell but it was fun to see what they had collected back in the day.
Ebay and filter sold listings only is your friend, see what people actually paid for the same card. Keep in mind it's only collectors that buy the high end stuff so if it's not in the condition a collector would want (edgewear, scratches on the foil side etc) it becomes harder to move
Yes.
I kind of want to get my Zacian promo graded if only to have a cool slabbed card, but it seems like it would take somewhere around 10 months to get that done right now.
Not entirely sure how to safely store it for the time being since it's in that plastic wrapper.
Eh? Eh?
I like this a lot but unfortunately the text is super legible. Can you make it holographic and reduce the font size to .3?
