The Chaos Rising arts are sick, i did pretty well myself on the CR pulls. Got 2 Pokemon Centre ETBs and Booster Bundle, Between us we only need the Greninja!

Wow, this thread is really starting to pop off given the new set, glad to see some amazing shares.

 

Since its gaining more traction, throughout the day as promised when i first created this thread I'll be posting some more cards of mine, a show and tell so to speak.

 

I do love seeing Torn's community coming together, enjoying the hobby as a shared interest.

Damn theres some legit gold in here!

 

All Ive got is a typical holo Charizard base set 2 PSA 6, nothing special.

 

I've got an entire box of all my old gen 1 cards, all holos have been sleeved but im not sure the value on any of them.

 

Examples are Venusaur, Dark Magneton, Lapras, Hitmonlee to name a few :D

 

Edit: Didn't think I had any pics

Nice cards, personally id keep them in top loaders, binders are good but curvature happens over a period of time.

 

Go to pricecharting .com they are a known price evaluator for cards, it shows what's recently being bought. There's good graphs on price dips and spikes.

 

Base set 2 zard is nice, seems you have a range from earlier sets, Jungle, Gym Heroes, I like Expedition cards.

 

 

Opened up 6 packs of new set today, and pulled nothing :(

I used to collect as a kid but that collection didn't survive my family lol I had everything from base sets and some old team rocket stuff.

 

Been opening with my son we did pretty good with chaos etbs and a booster box.

 

Pulled the chase Greninja and a bunch of nice ir/sir stuff.

Tauros,sliggoo ampharos metang some others 

Basically just missing the dragalge cincinno and az trainer from that set.

 

Got some packs of perfect order from Meijer this am been getting super cooked . From like 10 packs or so we picked up sir espurr and like the regular ass zygarde.

 

Did you guys try to get the Sam's club online drop that all seemed to go to the bots. 

 

 Anyways lots of super impressive stuff on here getting into the swing of it

Hopefully I update with some god pack on the next haul

A story I have heard from many collectors over the years about the longevity of their childhood cards. Makes me weep as an adult facing the same situation.

 

Awesome to hear your sharing this with the son, I also do this with my dad who introduced me to all things poke (Even stealing my colorless Gameboy to play the original red on release) He's been playing/collecting for 30yrs straight, that man isn't quitting anytime yet but has also invested partially in One Piece.

 

Some great cards in this new set and I'm glad you pulled the chase among others, keep up the good RNG.

 

Didn't go for Sam's club but it's something I'll be looking into!

 

Thanks for posting and sharing, come show us what ya get or have, plenty are interested and this forum is seeing traction being the first of it's kind here.

The amount of opportunity to get cards in the US vs the UK, Pokemon Centre release a printing factory in the UK so we have more chances!!

I spent the entire hour+ spamming to buy the Sam's Club SPCs. I had them in my cart for over an hour but kept getting errors checking out. Finally got them like 3 minutes before they sold out.

Elemak [2255978]

Yeah it's great my son loves it was a huge part of my childhood till I fell off.

Like still have my Gameboy TCG game from my late grandfather I do wish I still had my old collection tho it was a well worn one tho.

 

30th anniversary set announced has some cool cards coming up. I'm going for the illustration rares.

One of my cousins dropped off some cards for him this week so my son and daughter have been having fun organizing. Here's a few photos, they each made a page of their favs and the page with the Greninja.

My cousins and brothers seem to like the one piece as well. I think it's more about the gambling than the collection for them though.

 

 

 

@heasleys yeah that was rough I think I got one in cart twice but then the website would crash or log me out. I've had better luck just asking stores when they restock and going in early.

Anyone secure any First Partner Series 2? Everywhere where I live was sold out instantly but luckily I had one box on pre-order

 

Ducky [2746278]

The secondhand market is insane, £15 RRP to 45/50 secondhand. I try to avoid paying the scalpers, its a new release so maybe I'll hit some restocks
