Check your Ace Hardware, walked in today to find a nice stock of Perfect Order ETB's. It's been nice to finally find some product out an about been a fun set to rip.

Picture from last year. I opened a bunch of PF booster boxes, bundles, and ETBs when PF set just came out but never pulled my holy grail. The ETBs came with a booklet, and I used to go through the card list with my 5-year-old son, telling him im gonna get us one Charizard sir some day.

One day, my boy surprised me by cutting this piece of paper out from the booklet and telling me he found it for me. I have had my true holy grail this whole time people.

I got it at the last place I expected. Friggin' Big 5... This Big 5 also happens to be right next to a card store lol I don't expect to get anything from ripping but just happy to get at market price. First time opening Ascended Heroes. Happy Hunting everyone!

Some of my favorite Pokémon and cards. I'm very happy with how it came out!

Pulled this beauty from a single pack of perfect order from CVS. Me and my girlfriend were doing a pack battle and safe to say I won. 😅

I was cleaning out my closet and found this guy. I regrettably sold almost my entire Pokemon collection (every existing main installment game and many cards, including a Shadowless Mewtwo) just a couple months **before** Pokemon Go came out. I kept this guy because he said "this card is virtually worthless". I hadn't seen it anywhere else before, so I kept it.

It was a gift from my tutor in 2002, they had a friend visiting from Japan (I am in East Coast Canada) and told them "I tutor a guy here who's really into Pokemon". So they created a gift package for me. A bunch of cool things, but this is the only thing left.

Heheh, finally my fanart card is here!! And im really love how its done ^^^

Just got into this hobby and went to my first show as a buyer/trader. I pulled a mega zygarde ex like 2 weeks ago from my third perfect order booster from a 7 eleven lol. It’s a cool card but really wasn’t into it and wanted to trade it. It was the only thing I had without spending cash worth trading for at $100 value. I wanted some ascended heroes packs without paying out the ass for them. Managed to get 3 AH 2 pack tins and $10 for my mega zygarde. I was happy with that trade. Pulled the psyduck card that my fiancé pointed out at the show on my first rip and now I’m afraid to open the rest of the packs 😂. Probably won’t beat this.

Also traded some ex cards and a few other shitty pulls that I had for the articuno from journey that I really wanted. Everyone was mad chill and cool. Got some free stuff out of it too cause I was a newbie. Definitely started to smell in there a little though…

Recently picked up the Brilliant Star Zard in Chinese for $60 instead of spending $300 for the English version. Feel like buying Chinese cards is the move for cards in the PC.

How it be.

Finally competed the journey master set. Definitely will be the only one I do. It was a fun time. This set is underrated 💪

Note: did not add the regular/holos/exs to this picture but I have them.

I'm not to crazy about the modern era holo cards but this damn cards price kept rising so I had to snatched one before it got out of hand

Bought a mystery pack from the LCS for the first time and now have my first slab. Pretty happy with any and all vintage 10’s.
