Laser TCG

Primer Gem Pack para la colección. Y el segundo está en camino... #TCG #Pokémon

Ascended Heroes Booster pack prices are getting a bit ridiculous. It's creating a nice lower high structure here though. I would imagine with the 2nd wave of Booster Bundles imbound and a release of some sort of retail bundle. Pack prices should come down. Yet again..Pokemon has STILL not released Wave 2 of Perfect Order Booster Boxes. It's getting ridiculous at this point. Their production capacity limits are clearly beyond stressed. Maybe their printers could also just be dedicated right now to printing as much 30th Anniversary as possible.

lol

in september 1996, a month before the Pokemon TCG existed, Bandai released the first ever Pokemon cards they were called Carddass and you couldn't play with them they were just informational cards sold through vending machines in Japan around 309 cards total across part 1 and part 2, released over the following two months but here's what people outside Japan mostly don't know: the cards mirrored the gameboy games and each Pokemon had a Red and Green Version print, with different colored backgrounds and if a Pokemon could only evolve through trading, like Gengar or Alakazam, the cards literally said "EXCHANGED" right on the front that was a trading mechanic from the video games, baked into the cards themselves, before the TCG even launched what's the oldest Pokemon card in your collection?

in August 1997, Japan Railways East launched a Pokemon Stamp Rally the requirement was to travel to 30 stations on Tokyo's Yamanote line in 2 days the mission was to collect a unique stamp at each station and complete the entire stamp book before the deadline the event ran for 9 days only all 100,000 reserve tickets sold out in advance complete the rally and you received a 2-card booklet: a Surfing Pikachu by Toshinao Aoki and a Mew by Ken Sugimori the Surfing Pikachu shows Mt. Fuji and a train in the background, as a record of what those kids saw out the train windows

No, stop… Please don’t turn them into marketable plushies. Actually, never mind. I’d be buying every single one 😭

Así he recibido hoy un pequeño paquete con cartas #Pokémon. Ese sobre no se ha roto, sino que parece que alguien lo ha manipulado para ver qué había dentro. Mal rollo...

in 1998, Pokemon released cards you could only get from a vending machine for 100 yen (about 70 cents), you'd get a single glossy sheet of 3 cards plus damage counters and coin tokens, all peelable like stickers they were called the Expansion Sheet series and fans nicknamed them "Vending Machine cards" after three series came out across 1998, blue, red and green, with 108 cards total some of these cards have winning entries from CoroCoro Comic's illustration contests on them, the same contest that produced the Pikachu Illustrator card the cards never released outside Japan and they're still printed on glossy stock that doesn't exist on any other Pokemon card

Me gusta más el Royal Pika 👀 #Pokémon

modern full art pokemon cards are on frenzy in pricing right now. there is little chance that those cards will continue flying for ever. if you like them for your pc then its a no brainer but if you are looking for making money you will so be surprised. the real pokemon history was written before 2010 among with its tcg. enjoy the hobby and stack vintage. vintage is king

Look at these CoroCoro promo card pop counts 👀

This card is actually really interesting! It’s one of only two cards with a holographic back (the other being Ancient Mew) (picture 1). This card was part of what’s known as the “Trade Please!” campaign that took place in 1998. Participants mailed in two cards to Media Factory, the printing company for Japanese Pokémon cards. In return, they received a Charizard, Venusaur, or Blastoise card along with this Trade Now promo! (Picture 2) The campaign was designed to promote trading cards between friends. The illustrator of the card is Imakuni? The same individual featured in a number of those spoof cards (picture 3).

card stores in Japan have seen insane levels of traffic over the past 2 years, making the "Collectors Pilgrimage" a shell of its former self wild prices and poorer condition cards...how sustainable is vendor culture? or is Pokemon well and truly a rich persons play thing now?

Study Corocoro ✍🏼

Wow some of these leaked UFO images are nuts!

This Japanese Corocoro Jigglypuff Promo PSA 6 just sold for $6,300. Pokemon going higher. Sorry to everyone who doesn't like it. But that's just the most likely scenario.

Hace un par de semanas pregunté por un grupo relativamente grande de Telegram si alguien controlaba de vintage japonés y nadie respondió. Ahora, de repente, todos son expertos. F O M O #TCG #Pokémon
