Gateway Collectibles

Do y'all remember when nobody wanted to wear Pumas because they were cringe? I stg if you slap pokemon on anything it's like an infinite money glitch.

@powdrtcg Looks like a blueberry I left in my fridge for 6 weeks

They boutta give one of the WORST megas one of the best cards oat I just know it lmao. The artwork gonna make this ulcer look peak

@MankeyBusiness_ My secret is that I just record everything in one sitting and rant for an hour 😂

@GatewayCollects Now if I can only post videos as often as you do.

Let the packing commence 😤

I've been feeling a lot like Japan's release schedule compared to last year has been much smaller which honestly makes a lot of sense now. Trying to line up a simultaneous release of the 30th anniversary set as well as print to demand seems to be the goal here

Sometimes it's kind of nice to not be worried about collecting English products because ASC has got to be the worst set to be trying to get since prismatic. In fact - it's worse than Prismatic because there are so many new people in the hobby at this point.

@MankeyBusiness_ Keep up the hustle! You're doing great! 😊😊

@GatewayCollects I may have reached the point of needing help packing 😖

I see a lot of people shitting on Perfect Order, but it's kind of nice to know that the kids who are growing up playing Legends ZA will have a set that they can all remember fondly. Who's to say that this set won't be a massive hit in 20 years?

@CardGameNomad This too shall pass. It can't be horrible forever, right?

What in the blue fuck is going on with this market, man? Y'all can't tell me anybody is ripping Mega at those prices. The Mega Evolution box now costs more than the most expensive card in the set. Investor mindset has fucked this hobby hard in the past year.

@MankeyBusiness_ Right there with you buddy - mine have been stuck in Memphis since Sunday.

Another delay, yippee. This is the release day Nihil Zero import, by the way. It left Japan this past Friday and was originally scheduled to arrive Monday. I apologize if you’re waiting, so am I 🥲

Quick shipping update for anyone waiting on an order — This winter storm slowed everything down in the South.

Since nobody will post the link to the live stream for the new MEGA Nullifying Zero leaks... I got y'all live.douyin.com/87878784508?an…

@CardGameNomad They'll be $20 come January

These are so nice.... but man, spending $40 on a deck to chase these is wild af. Especially because 90% of the decks will just be bulk cards that we can't play with 😂 Hopefully the singles prices aren't too bad.

@MankeyBusiness_ I only have them scanned individually because the scan sheet has sucked

@GatewayCollects At least I’m not alone 😂 Do you have all of your packages scanned individually or do you utilize SCAN sheets?

USPS in Memphis is a black hole for my packages. If I don’t have every single shipment individually scanned at drop-off, it WILL disappear once it hits that facility. No maybes. Gone. I even ship under a totally different generic name that’s completely unrelated to Pokémon, M.B. Distribution Co.— no change. SCAN forms and self-service kiosks don’t count as official acceptance scans, which means: • They do nothing to prevent the package from vanishing in Memphis • And if it does vanish, I have found that filing a claim is basically pointless — USPS sees it as never officially accepted into their possession Since USPS closed the Jonesboro sorting center in 2012, every package must go through Memphis… even if it’s staying in Jonesboro. For now, I’ll keep having the incredible USPS team in Jonesboro scan each package one-by-one — even if I’m dropping 75+ at a time. As long as it’s even remotely feasible, I’ll keep doing it. If that means showing up with donuts, coffees, or booster packs as a thank-you — so be it. ❤️ And let me state clearly that I use incredible unironically, they’re legends. I’m also starting to use tamper-evident tape on higher-value shipments as an added layer of protection. The grind continues — and I’ll keep doing every single thing I can to protect your orders.

Finally - shelves full of products. Everyone rush to your local GameStop for these killer deals 😂

@CardGameNomad It won't be a NM card though. My S Chinese supplier has "tiers" that they'll sell these cards at.

The S-Chinese price falls have been amazing to watch. Card was nearly $400 on release and is now a fraction of the price!

@Catscollecttcg Sounds good! I've worked with several in the past and they've all been good/legit sellers who are reputable.

@GatewayCollects Ty. Someone reached out and they know how big we are..hopefully use them for some good prices!

Looking for a good Korean seller, I heard yall like affordable boxes and Mega Dream is CHEAP 😂

Happy Thanksgiving friends! Hope you all have a wonderful day!
