Hottest trend
Rising Pokémon card prices dominated the day, with the “prices aren’t going down” thread drawing community-wide debate and darkly comedic coping strategies from collectors being priced out of staples like M Rayquaza EX Gold.
Highlighted content
- The english mega-thread saw a heated Tyranitar vs. Ampharos art debate, with @zorloth defending Dark Tyranitar’s TRR reverse holo as market data-backed and “straight out of a graphic novel” — @candle’s reaction earned 14 likes.
- @packyman presented new evidence of a 5th Spanish Base Set print run, a 1999 Belgium third print, with @Quuador and @Nightvulture weighing in on magenta angles and card back shadow differences.
- The qotd dark thread asked whether collectors would keep collecting with 18 months to live — @niece’s reply about a family built around Pokémon was the standout, earning 10 likes.
- The E4 Vintage Thematic Set Event hit post 200, with @lookaclara submitting a Hawaii-inspired Gastrodon piece and @explorer sharing a newly completed Wingull digital illustration — a first-ever digital art attempt.
Collection updates
- @silversnorlax204 added a CGC-graded Popular Mechanics magazine documenting @pfm’s playtest card scandal investigation — calling it “the greatest collectable in E4 history,” grade 7.5 and all.
- @Professor_Broke picked up 7 copies of the 2016 2nd Place League Challenge Greninja (pop 37), describing the price as seemingly too low for what they are.
- @Ragdajin shared two affordable Eeveelution cameo pickups in the recent purchases thread.
- @explorer opened a vintage Fossil pack to celebrate a newborn — no holo, but a clean pack save and renewed appreciation for Sugimori’s Mr. Fuji art.
