The person who commissioned the tyranitar rug sent me a pic of it with their grails and goooooooood lord 🥴🥴

@Shadypenguinn I’ll pretty much always read ahead if I find myself actively watching a popular show because people LOOOOVE to spoil stuff intentionally or not

Basically this. I know every major plot point, ending AND beyond via spoilers, so I think going manga might just be the way.

@YoungGaryOak I think I ripped 4 booster boxes of it chasing the moon ( this was when the hits from your box usually could fund you another box to try again lmfao)

@strifemade Agreed, personally, I like the set. I still have a sealed booster box myself 😂

Yall new collectors are funny. This is like a half step above Steam Siege and only cuz it has the alt arts. This box is gonna need a decade before it cracks a number that’s “juicy”

@YoungGaryOak Totally fair it’ll take a while for people to get behind the paradox Pokémon

@strifemade Agreed, but in terms of “star power” that makes these older booster boxes explode in price, it’s what I would compare to steam siege. Again the alt arts are stunning and obviously make it better than SS

BOYYYYYYYYYYYYY

@BlastoiseBaller I’ve been known to have a few of those

@strifemade Oh... shit that's a really good idea lol

That nidoking thing has pushed me over the damn edge, I am in real need of a rebrand so I'm not mistaken for one of those shitty single-pokemon crypto meme accounts Anyone got ideas that can center Blastoise without looking like one of *them*?

@Catscollecttcg If you’re looking for a 3rd tcg to get into try riftbound I don’t really care for league but the tcg has been really fun from what I’ve played so far and not terribly hard to grasp especially if you’re into magic It’s more interactive then pokemon but less than magic imo

I don’t wanna anger the Yugioh community too much but I’m playing master duel more and more and it really feels like “you have it or you don’t” like you either have your 5 minute turn where you get off your Omni negate or I get a turn and I probably win. It feels rare where the game feels like a true back and forth. I know it would fundamentally change Yugioh but it locked it to 2-3 special summons per turn I feel you could have very interesting design space. Again no hate to the community and I am having some fun I just can’t get into it as much as Pokemon or Magic

@Bpaint I would say absolutely worth the $4 but also not a hope in hell there’s any left at this time 😂

@strifemade Mmm almost makes me want to go to Walmart. But no. I hit in 2 places. Just because I didn’t have a poster collection at MSRP doesn’t mean I need to use $4 gas to run around for one. 🤣

The early trainer catches the pidgey 😤super rare MSRP W at Walmart

@scruffycitytv Both the Walmarts I go got stocked with a ton AH and celebration boxes as well as perfect order from what I saw more people were focused on that then getting perfect order so I think the people that want this set should have an easier time getting it

I had zero idea this set even came out today since it was one I wasn’t interested in. I hope the people who actually want to collect it can find it today. But I’m sure most of the people that said it’s a terrible set will still load up and hoard it and scalpers will still try to flip it for $3.23 in profit.

@strifemade What do you mean? We stay winning. America? Crypto and AI capital of the WORLD. 😐

Wasn’t it like… just a few weeks ago that Nintendo announced a price increase for the S2 and it was the first time ever that a console that has been out went… up instead of down? Now that one did it, it immediately became “acceptable” for the others. Bet. 7 year old console btw

@ReddyTCG Arceus smiled down to me today

@strifemade W in the chat

@Bpaint Keep your head up king you got this

So part of the financial struggle on the SQ side of things had to do with another layoff. [insert Millennial-coded “lol”] However, I already have the next gig lined up and while there will be challenges, I’m so freaking pumped at what’s next. It’s rough out there, gang. Stability and tenure are a joke unless you’re willing to play political games and I ain’t about that life. Never have been. Here’s to the next chapter in what feels like a chapter book spanning my still-young career. 🫡🫶😌

@bastardxboy Real

@strifemade yall both gay lol jk

Just got called gay for having long hair in the big 2026 by a customer with a 2010 Justin bieber haircut 😂😂😂

@Catscollecttcg So what you’re saying is beedrill for a boxed boxed box?

@strifemade Send me just the trimmed beedrill and I’ll double box with and throw in a random item 😂

Poster collections on the way! (We still are adding paper and bubble wrap but YES we double box our cases :) )

@HoosCards Appreciate you homie! You can send me a DM whenever to get on the wait list I just closed coms to catch on current commissions and I’m moving soon so don’t want to take deposits until I get settled and know what’s up!

@strifemade @CharizardEats These are awesome! I’d carry em in my card shop, and I’m the LGS my homie runs would love these! I’ll be on the lookout for availability. See commissions closed rn. Poncho is so fun

Who has another side hustle? I need more hobby money! X has we wanting to buy more singles and got my 👀👀 on some dragon ball super booster boxes.

@GreyThompson @CharizardEats Appreciate you my man

@strifemade @CharizardEats Top tier rugs, my goodness 👀
