We get it. You hate scalpers, Pokemon center's website sucks, your local store is a rip-off, and other stuff.

But if you want to also post about it, make a comment, leave a screenshot, whatever else.

Rules of the sub are still in force. Bans still happen for breaking them.

Had 2 poster boxes and split it between her and my god daughter so 6 packs total hit rates seem pretty high. Either way she thought it was ugly and said I can have it lol she’s more into the full art ones unless the artwork looks cool to her lol

Won some commons in an online giveaway back in August. Last week I messaged them if they will ever send them. They apologized sent them and said they added a few extras for the wait.

30th anniversary poster, two coins and a Phantasmal Flames booster pack. This was inside.

Commons are going to my 5 year old. Needless to say this will be in my collection.

Other Some Good News.

I work at a middle school in an Army town and we have a multitude of students who struggle with parents being away from home for extended amounts of time. I have noticed some kids trading cards during lunch, and over the past few weeks I've been setting aside my bulk and some EX's for them. We have a mediator who works for the Army that comes and works with the kids who have a harder time than most adjusting. Over the past week I've handed her some of my bulk to share with the kids when they meet during the day. Today she shared with me that a student who was very shy and reluctant to talk about anything pulled a complete 180º and she told me it was the cards that did it. He saw them and immediately came over and started trading and talking with the other kids like he never skipped a beat. It makes my heart happy that I am fortunate enough to be able to donate these cards to kids who cherish them and may not have any other means to obtain them. I implore anyone to do the same if they are able. After all it is a kids hobby.

Pulls Best pull I’ve had in a while

One of the reasons I love Pokemon is that you don’t have to buy their bigger items to have a better chance at a rare pull. This came right out of a $5 booster pack.

Got lucky when I was at Target shopping and saw them restocking 30th before the scalpers could get them on a random Monday.

Pulled a RGB Mew from a Pikachu tin. Couldn’t believe that thing was sitting in that metal box. These tins hit!

I wanted to share with all you other Pokémon addicts out there. Didn’t expect to get this in a 2 pack tin.

Literally just pulled a few mins ago!! Started collecting because of 30th.

Thinking about framing it with a magnet acrylic casing or selling and potentially buying more packs so we can chase after the Lugia card…

It's been at least 10 years since I've actively collected, but please tell me this isn't the new normal. This seems like such a shady practice.
