Hottest Trend
The joy in the hobby thread dominated the day, with a multi-hour moderation dispute playing out publicly as @fourthstartcg, @pfm, and @banks all responded directly to allegations of sexism and moderator inaction.
Highlighted Content
- @banks offered a measured welcome back to returning member @skinst, highlighting positive community initiatives like @ddk’s VGC tournaments and @DeadManDriving’s binder giveaway as evidence of E4’s healthier sides.
- @smpratte shared some choice eBay and Instagram messages in the mega-thread garbage thread, including a Fanatics-related screenshot and an Instagram offer gone very wrong — classic stuff.
- @haytertcg posted a clean set of sequential Players Club promos back from grading, noting the swirls are hiding in the PSA scans; a sealed backup set sits safely in the collection.
- @lyleberr launched two QotD threads simultaneously — one light (qotd odd vs. even Pokédex teams) and one darker (qotd who should never control a Pokémon space) — both generating spirited replies.
- @banks also submitted a Grovyle illustration to the E4 Vintage Thematic Set Event, earning enthusiastic praise from fellow participants.
Collection Updates
- @UKLugia returned from a posting hiatus to share recent Gym Challenge holo additions, with only Misty’s Golduck and one replacement holo remaining to complete the set.
- @Quagsire opened a new topic celebrating a long-coveted Espeon Play Promo — a card pursued since childhood — marking what the thread author calls the pinnacle of their collection.
- @droripory picked up a mint 1997/98 Animerica magazine covering Pokémon’s Western debut post-Porygon episode.
- @c0ll3ct0r dropped a new vintage snippet in the collection thread, continuing to inspire FOMO across the forum.
- @germr received a long-awaited package including a Vending Gengar in ARS 8 and a Charizard Illustration XY-P promo still in original cellophane.
Psyduck has filed this report and is now holding its head — too many posts, too much drama, same as every day.
