Back when the hobby was just people wanting to rip packs and play the game.
Had to blur faces for personal reasons.

This made my day
I was just scrolling on Facebook marketplace, and I found this listing of a scalper trying to get rid of perfect order etbs and booster bundles selling it almost at MSRP 😂🤣

eBay seller elastics card vertically during shipping
More just laughing at this one than annoyed.. he put it in a cardboard protector and then ran the elastic vertically against the card , causing it to bend obviously.
That’s certainly a choice. But like.. why? Haha

Insane run for my 7 year old daughter.
She pulled the Latias as her first really big pull out of a Costco pokeball a few ago then pulled the ascended pikachu day before Easter,gold Zard last night then the mega gengar today. Just a crazy run.

Advice/feedback on my personal binder after 7-8 months of casual collecting
Any thoughts or advice? I’d love to see some ways I could improve it
The greyscale “cards” are printed stand-ins for cards I currently don’t have but am looking for.
I mostly only buy singles in whatever language is cheapest because I collect more for the art than the value (and due to horrendous lack of sealed stock near me), but none of my cards are expensive anyway. Still my prized possession :)

2020’s Pokemon is like 1990’s Comicbooks
Everyone who collected comics in the 90’s bought multiple copies, bagged, boarded and stored their comics. Today most of them are worth just above retail.
Pokemon has a “false scarcity” right now cause everyone is buying multiple products, putting them in cases and storing them.
Once the selling starts these things will plummet cause there are SO MANY, earlier sets have true collector value because people OPENED THEM.
I just don’t see a problem with this logic.
UPDATE: This was a great discussion, learned alot.

My Wife Found Her Old Pokemon Collection, Here's Some Highlights!
I wish I was as careful with my cards as she was! I'm helping her to value them but I'm also so tempted to keep building the sets! There is also tons of commons and uncommons from Base, Rocket, Fossil, Jungle, Gym Challenge and Heroes. It's really ramped up my love for the vintage sets.

Blaziken English Master Set - Completed
I started collecting last year and was mostly just picking up expensive cards without much of a plan. I started focusing on collecting my favourite Pokémon instead, which has been way more fun.
With my completed English set, the next goal now is to complete Japanese and Chinese set.
Hardest to Find: 2004 Blaziken POP Series 1 #1/17 - NON HOLO
Favourite Card: 2014 Blaziken XY Furisous Fists #14/111 STAFF National Championship Stamp
Shoutout to u/CanadaMan1124 for inspiring me with his Blaziken reddit post.
Also Shoutout to ZardGirlRipz on IG for the custom binder.

Amazing first page for my album
Perfect 9 card to start the album. The cards are full of color and different textures and they're a little reminder: not only full arts can be cool.
