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

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.

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
