KAME🐢

October 2022 was the month my son and I became serious Pokemon collectors. Rayquaza was pulled from a Rotom V tin sitting all by itself on a Target shelf. Espeon, from one pack my wife almost didn't buy for my son.

@PokeTCGAlerts Make @gamestop Great Again

@swinefluchu @JohnnyCrambo I don't think it's live yet. If I click on the item says the page can't be found. Maybe next week restock.

@typeh20 @JohnnyCrambo Idk if you know, but you gotta click over and over pretty quickly on dismissing and re adding on that to get it

Did ANY humans score Ascended Heroes on Walmart? Got wrecked as usual 😃

@DOOMZTAY @Bombmetax 🫡Thanks! Now I want to do the rest of the MARs that have an SIR cousin. Up next, Gardevoir and Lucario

@typeh20 @Bombmetax Damn that binder page is 🔥

Which modern Pokemon card will hold value better? Ascending Heroes Gengar - $1,000 Phantasmal Flames Charizard - $700

@PokeTeeJay Dude I ordered 2 151 boxes off Tiktok shop back during the crazy coupon era. Package made it all the way to my post office but then somehow got put on a cargo ship to Alaska. Took over a month to get delivered. I didn't have high hopes they would even arrive.

I hit a Japanese 151 god pack with the Blastoise and Charizard line back when the set dropped, and that was an insane feeling I can’t imagine pulling and English god pack from Prismatic or Ascended. Legit $1,000s in value with one pack Maybe one day 😮‍💨

@iK9cards Mini tins are my kryptonite.

Got a sealed display of Ascended Heroes tins. Every time I’ve ever gotten a sealed display, I regretted the rip immediately… but I can hear this one calling my name from the other room

@kmosley86 I understand that but I actually collect cards not boxes. Much prefer to view binders as hand held art galleries. I'd rather look at that than boxes on a shelf.

@typeh20 You would’ve had more value sealed in the long run. Modern singles are volatile. Nice pull though!

Everyone: PC ETB's aren't meant to be open. Me: 🖕

@StevenxTCG No dark mode hurts my brain.

TCGplayer really fucked up their app and just never looked back huh

@JuniorHunter @Bombmetax Haha. Just so you know...Since I mastered 151 the year it dropped. I'm the guy that left 151 on the shelf at stores like Target for the past couple years so new collectors had a chance.

@typeh20 @Bombmetax This is the greed they talk about in the Bible

@brockpierson Dale Dan Tony Nacho Picasso

Define your taste in music with 2 artists

@PokeTeeJay Definitely needs a modern update!

I think we’re due for a sick Tyranitar or Gyarados SIR 👀

@PokeTeeJay Last pack magic from 5 sleeved boosters.

This card is $781 on TCGPlayer right now 😳 Have you pulled it? 🔥

@LordCharizard33 Trade for my miscut 151 Psyduck + $1k cash on your end.

Super rare crimped Exeggcute from Mega Evolutions. $400 OBO. I know what I have. Don’t low ball me.

@TeamPokeColors I pulled both from the same ETB

I’d rather have ~20 of these than the $1,000+ SIR.

This is what I got

16 likes and ill open these pokemon cards

@JohnnyCrambo I feel like I won without ever having to stand in a line like that. Big Boy was delivered right to my door. Although I did have to rip my PC ETBs.

Ascended Heroes is crazy. I've never seen this level of hype for a set. Minimum 40-50 waiting in line BEFORE the vendors even get to stores. Plus the sophistication of restock discords, vending machine glitchers, etc... Pokemon in general is WILD right now 😵‍💫

@itsREDIC I have a feeling it's just getting started...

tell me now and be honest… this the top for Pokemon cards or next leg up? 📈

@nekoalexx 🫡I'm glad too hehe

Gm gm Prices on this card are steadily rising 👀 I’m glad I got it when I did

@King_Zero475 @BloodVariety I saw about a dozen of them just sitting at GS for $60

@BloodVariety $110 for a Prismatic booster bundle is criminal

Hobbiesville really drafted this and hit send Selling as a shop FOR ABOVE MARKET lmao
