piss

Built my first custom deck if anyone is on TCGOnline

So targets Pokemon card selection is dogshit, and walmart doesn't even sell them anymore lol

No wonder beardson was finding them on clearance lol.

sales on pokemon cards in big box retailers aren't great these days

I know my local walmart, if they still even have the display, had them all next to one of the checkouts and they would always sit there for so long that they'd end up going on clearance a month later

lol

Well, at least on my hunt for Pokemon cards I found a bomb ass ramen place

Got it to go and eating it rn

seems like the meta with getting pokemon cards these days is either buying trainer boxes on clearance when you can find them, or just arranging to order entire booster boxes

Yeah, I am just going to get them off amazon

Although apparently Walmart still sells them on their website.

all I know is that you should never buy individual packs out of an open booster box

pretty common trick with friendly local game stores that are extra "friendly" is they'll look up the booster box seeds to find out which packs have the good shit, open those up, put the rare cards into the case to sell individually, then put the rest of the packs back in the box and on display

Interesting.

and depending on how the cards are made, another possibility is they'll use a weed scale

I know where a local gamestore is, I hope they are open still though.

because sometimes foils will make the pack weigh ever so slightly more

Interesting.

the packs sold in individual cardboard packs are alright, but honestly they're expensive as shit considering you get one pack

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089MZS2C8?pf_rd_r=KFK2SSY8BQYPX5BK7X0C&pf_rd_p=edaba0ee-c2fe-4124-9f5d-b31d6b1bfbee

Thoughts on this?

It is quite expensive, but has a bunch of booster packs

probably fine? I dunno I don't really follow set pricing or what sets are worth buying

but with that you're getting 36 packs for just under $3 a piece

Yeah

So I'm buying through https://www.tcgplayer.com/ , https://shop.channelfireball.com/, Ebay and Amazon.

None have the best price on all products, you have to browse through to see which has the best price on any one product at any time.

Also be careful of buying boosters or booster boxes on TCGplayer and Ebay, as sometimes sellers will weigh product or repack the packs.

Best to buy through more trusted sellers

I find booster boxes that are $90 - $100 are a good deal, just look at the set on TCGplayer to see if it has the cards you want in it.

Out here running the op

Some1 pls give mone for Pokemon cards

😦

Pulled a Charizard v from a darkness ablaze. Only bought 2 at GameStop then went to a comic book shop and they were selling 10 single cards for 1 dollar! A lot of them were original and perfect condition. Got 94 bit they easily had thousands. Walmart and target had nothing

I saw your tweet

Damn you're lucky lmao

That was another guy lol. He got the best Charizard.

Oh shit

Ok

Isn't that card worth around $600 dollars?

Lukewarm pulls, but the nostalgia tho

PikachuGroyper on PokemonTCG, I'll add everybody also

Thanks for the link to that site. Just got 3 packs of evolutions that i really wanted and some individual cards. Definitely the best site to buy. eBay is ok if you can find a good seller but prices are really high and amazon seems to have a lot of scammers

The starting deck they give you is a stinkaroo, enjoy getting annihilated.

Np

The electric one?

No they gave me Mental Might

I’ve been annihilating with Crushing currents once you get the unlocks. I only play theme instead of standard for now

Ok, I'm getting demolished

Hopefully I get some codes from packs so I can make something good

Play the trainer challenges and get the unlocks from the theme decks. You can add them to standard i think. Some are pretty good. My problem is people have insane trainer cards and i don’t

What's your name on there simon

You can also unlock theme decks for 500 pokecoins that's pretty good.

What really sucks is pokemon rotates the sets so often your cards are useless if you take a break for awhile

No, I think the rotation is pretty slow.

Detective Pikachu, the set that came out when the movie came out is still in Standard

the Japanese rotation is fast

the American sets are usually like 2-4 Japanese sets in one

Pulls from the Sandslash GX box

Nothing great but man Pokemon cards look so good

Modern Magic cards look like dogshit. They look like sludge

They look like Grimer

Yeah Poke aesthetics really are great.
Buy the Soaring Skies, Laser Focus or Relentless Flame if you wanna win Theme 🤙🏻

Do you think I'll ruin it?

Do you think i'll ruin it with my bad attitude?

No idea @Matt606

Was digging through some of my old Pokémon cards.
I know the Palkia and Dialga can go for like 25 dollars each since they are in good condition.
Near mint probably
All of them are near mint

Add my TCGO bros it’s DemiDoor

Costco has 3 tin pokeballs with 3 packs each inside of them for 25-30 dollars. Watching some YouTube videos on it. If all of them contain 1 evolutions, 1 sun and moon and 1 burning shadows, it’s an insanely good deal

You can buy them online for 30 on the Costco website but in store they’re 25 or less. You’re basically getting 9 packs(some of the packs go for 10-12 each now) for 11 dollars off plus pokeballs for storage or decoration and 1 coin in each too. Gonna try to get some when i can

I'm gonna try to scoop those up simon.

I got zip out of the elite trainer box btw

I'm not gonna buy those things again, I'll try for the tins.

Just bought some Pokémon cards
