Picked this up in a trade today. Seems incredibly undervalued with a PSA 10 pop of 147 and nearly 10 years old.

@AtnsXBT I’ll see your old school legendary and raise you the old school ancestor of all Pokémon.

i don’t know if it should be considered old school but this one of my favorite cards in my collection jirachi is the legendary that deserves more love

Sending my jacket off to PSA for grading. Wish me luck!

@MaxLonged I don't see any whitening on the edges. I think you're good!

@Loopify They are painting Ansem in the charts.

current state of the market

@boldleonidas As the monks say, be like waterfall.

@TCGPokePlug What if it turned on your wife/gf?

Yall aren’t really out here wearing this corny clothing are you? 👀 I’m here for Pokemon clothing, but this is probably the worst looking jacket I’ve seen in a while, and its retail is 129.99?!? 😭

@0xLevi Don’t give me ideas. 😂

@MaxLonged Didn't try BGS for black label? 😂

@StarPlatinum_ Sidelined?

Pokemon collectors after reading this thread:

Haven’t you read the story before? Back in the late 90s, Japanese parents lost their minds over Nurse Joy. Episode 1 drops and her… assets are bouncing like she’s smuggling two Jigglypuffs under that uniform. TV Tokyo’s inbox explodes with angry letters: ‘My son keeps asking why the nurse’s chest is bigger than her head!’ ‘This is teaching boys the wrong kind of “healing”!’ By episode 15 the producers are sweating. They quietly tell the animators: “Shrink them. Not too much, we still need the fanservice, but make it… subtle.” Season 2? Noticeably smaller. Like someone let the air out. Parents calm down a bit. Season 3? They go full “safety mode.” Now she’s basically flat. The official excuse? “Art style evolution.” By Diamond & Pearl she’s serving pure hospital administrator energy. Zero jiggle. The ultimate parent win. Meanwhile in the West we just thought the animation got better. Legend says if you slow down the old episodes frame-by-frame you can see the gradual… deflation.

@MaxLonged i can’t recall this 🤣

Name a bigger downgrade

@LlcPickaxe For this card I’ll allow it.

What your opinion of PSA 1s?

@Luckyninja_ Marvellous 😂

@MaxLonged I'd say that condition about a dollar and seal the deal 🤝

If you found this at a garage sale for $20, would you tell them how much it’s actually worth?

@lilybrodi NFTs IP collectively is like 0.01% of Pokémon IP relevance. And no that’s not bullish for its growth prospects. 😂

i’m probably going to get cancelled for saying this but pokémon is the #1 ip in the world nfts aren’t pokémon cards they aren’t coming back

@Repulzer The universe always has a way of rewarding you. Plus you feel great. 🫡

@MaxLonged i learned that its not bad to say the real price. Had many cases where I teached some ppl the current prices and how to look it up, then they sold.it for that prices and gifted me stuff or sold it to me for the original way cheaper price and so Being fair is nice

@BrexitBruno Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

@MaxLonged I believe in karma. I will explain condition and how pre-grading with your eyes can give better gauge of the pristine condition of the card. Explain how the corners and wear on this card and given how old it is, best i could do is $5 and am doing them a favour 🤭😂

@SKAVENstocks Crazy 😂

@MaxLonged Not at all which is wierd because I ended up super devout Catholic

@pedma7 @0xDamien @dachshundwizard help a fellow crypto bro out.

@MaxLonged give me a few more days

this morning I spent 1.5k on pokemon cards onchain not knowing anything about pokemon cards ama
