Nice. I never did get into Magic, although I’m certain it’s better than others from an actual playing card game perspective. I’m mostly just going to see if any vintage Pokémon sparks my nostalgia.

Thx for sharing, I might go check it out and look for some cards. You going to play or just shop?

Probably both this time. @Crazymex408 knows I usually use it as an opportunity to unload cards I don't want too and consolidate into more expensive stuff.

My son is really into Pokémon 151. We went to collect a con last month. Probably gonna hit up others soon. His hobby is crazy.

I took my kids to the one earlier year. They had a blast. It was the pop, pokemon, and pop.
@dai didnt know about mxp. It's been a min since I played. With the new baby and new job. My first time back will be this weekend. I'm sure I've missed alot after the ban. If I go to mxp, I will message you.

Reviving this thread! Any Pokemon card collectors out there? Vintage or modern? Singles, slabbed or sealed?

Got back into it recently so curious to see how many reefers are also into collecting Pokemon cards! Personally, it’s just vintage cards for me but would love to see what if anything anyone has or is willing to move!

What a collection! Looks like all the sealed are primarily ME. I assume you got into collection sealed recently… or is this just a small portion of your collection? My sealed is also primarily ME. Unfortunately don’t have much of the pre- Scarlet and Violet stuff.

How have you been landing sealed product? Any luck at the pokemon vending machines?

Mostly vintage for me too. I’ve been cutting down my collection a little bit as the market has gotten so crazy.

@Invictus nice stash of slabs!

Other than my sealed, all I have are vintage currently. First thing I wanted to do for nostalgias sake was complete the base, fossil, jungle and team rocket sets! The more I buy, the more I want but as you said, the market is absolutely nuts right now…

Whats ME? I started at twighlight masquerade most of these are all from camping out at gamestop and recently switching to best buy since Gamescalpers wanna charge three times the price. I usually take off on drop days lol otherwise ur chances of getting product is slim to none or at market price.
I do go go the Vending machines but its hit or miss i like to go at 9am that way i know what time the drops will be otherwise ur playing a guessing game waiting for 1hr to know what the timer is at

Niceee collection are you looking for any condition or do you inspect for close to 10s incase you decide to grade?

Mega Evolutions.

I’ve had no luck at vending machines, but have managed to hit fairly consistently on pokemon center the last couple drops.

I just have to figure out what restock days are at Target, Best Buy, etc. lol

These are all near mint. There may be a couple that are LP or LP +. I inspect pretty thoroughly before buying. Some bought online so ability to inspect is fairly limited. They’ll stay in my binder but I like clean cards.

I don’t plan on grading any of these. Vintage cards do not grade well even in the best condition.
