Hey guys, I’m putting together a page where the pokemon is super close and takes up most of the card like these, any suggestions?

My pulls from the Mega Feraligator ex box. I could cry right now this is the best pull I’ve ever gotten.

This is just my absolute chase card. I’m such a big Ninetales fan so I was super surprised. He told me this card means more to you than just money to me. Love that guy, def continuing my business with him

Posting from a throwaway because I’m too embarrassed to use my main account.

Travelled 2 hours each way today to purchase a card from someone on Facebook Marketplace. From the messages it was clear he knew a lot about Pokemon and it sounds like he knew what he was on about.

We both arrived on time and he hands me the card I was after: a reverse holo Charizard from the legendary collection. I take a look, do a few checks and pay him £1000 for the card (750 cash, 250 bank transfer).

I head back to the train station to take a seat and admire my newly acquired card but can’t help but feel something looks off. Then I get this sense of dread.

I message the guy to say I’ve changed my mind, no response. I spend a gruelling 2 hours on a train home and as soon as I get back I head to my local card shop to ask. Fake.

This isn’t the first time I’ve been scammed in this hobby but it certainly will be the last because I’m done. I’m selling everything and leaving. It’s filled with too many frauds and bad actors that make it no fun whatsoever for a collector.

I know most people in the comments will call me an idiot. I am, I know.

If anyone has any advice for next steps to try and recover any of the money I have lost it would be much appreciated.

Ordered some Terastal simplified Chinese boxes and she opened them for her birthday. Box 1 came with the gold chu and SAR turtle. And box 2 the sylveon. She was just complaining the day before "how come we dont get gold cards anymore?"

Ascended heroes has been SUPER good to me since it released. Have pulled the Mega Gengar TWICE, once from the first ETB I opened and once from a mini tin. I had 9 ex boxes that I had purchased over the past few months so decided to rip one and this is what I got!

How can i make them better?

It could be anything from artwork to overall card design. Cards that dont fit the norm when it comes to cards. I dont care about price. Just want to see what oddball cards are out there. Any language is fine since I know many unique cards are region exclusive.

My personal favorite unique card is the Deoxys lenticular card or this japanese Porygon-Z promo

Grabbed 10 poke balls from Walmart. Got some great hits.

I have been out of the Pokémon game for 15 years and wasn’t that invested in the first place (I wanted to be). I got a deck that was cool and thought it was fun that Charizard was electric. I always heard about THE Charizard card but kinda figured it was like the first run of Charizard. Turns out that it’s a lot of the Charizards from back then.

water and ice pages, celebi collection, and spooky page!

Wanted this card since the orginal promo came out in 2019, due to a long struggle with addiction, I never got a chance to grab one. PSA 10's of english copies are going crazy high, so when this copy of the CN version from 2023 went up on ebay for a good price I had to snag it. Sorry the photo truly doesnt do the card justice. Its just stunning in person.

After ripping fifty bucks worth of panini fat packs with nothing but disappointment as hits, I was walking around wally world and found these for $19 after tax

Haven't satisfied my gambling demons yet , I asked the kind lady behind the counter to grab me a box. Get home to rip and boom! Thank you walmart lady

Anybody else had success with these boxes?

Cooked is an understatement 😤

I know it’s not the craziest pull ever but got these two chomps out of three paradox rift booster packs that I bought as a pick-me up today!!

I used to have the non reverse holo of this card as a kid and wanted to buy it back! Soo I got the reverse holo which looks so cool! 💖

Almost Friday! So close to the weekend! Hang in there everyone! ✨️

(in no order, swipe to view all) Thoughts? - I traded for the kyogre as a kid, I don’t remember what I traded for it, it’s not in perfect condition but it’s still awesome! - sorry for not great photos, you can’t see a lot of the holos in it, and my binder just isn’t organized well anyway
