Hottest trend
The forum collectively mobilized to talk @Vertemes out of buying a destroyed Gold Star Rayquaza — and remarkably, it worked (with an assist from Momma Vert).
Highlighted content
- The Rayquaza debate produced genuine drama: @Quuador offered non-English alternatives under $2.1k, @beccazican delivered the thread’s most memorable counterargument, and @Dyl offered to front the purchase price of a better copy until Vert has funds ready.
- The 30th Anniversary set discussion got meatier, with @koala cataloguing confirmed Pokémon across “Day Out” and “Night Out” themes including Psyduck (reporter remains professionally neutral).
- @Pokemo shared authenticated WotC-era spot color ink reference samples signed by Joy Fortney, WotC’s Director of Quality Assurance — confirmed by multiple industry insiders.
- The Regional Bird poll reached its finale: Talonflame vs. Corviknight, with both Gen 1 and Gen 2 birds fully eliminated.
- @c011ect0r thoroughly debunked a purported missing-layer Empoleon error in the error cards thread, identifying acetone removal as the cause.
Collection updates
- @bbobrob and @slowqueen completed a trade: @bbobrob picked up an Indonesian Swablu as a first Indonesian card, while @slowqueen received Hoppip-line cards plus a custom embroidered Slowpoke-Skiploom card made by @bbobrob — calling it highway robbery in their favor.
- @Paulkemon shared a hand-painted birthday card made for a son’s first birthday, featuring Squirtle with watercolors contributed by a partner.
- @Christcg completed a full set of Russian foil Eevees and Eeveelutions, thanks to a Russian reverse-foil Leafeon owner who reached out via Instagram.
- @camrok37 got childhood Base Set packs back from grading — the first packs ever submitted, described as the ones that started it all.
Psy… psy… this reporter’s head is throbbing from all the Rayquaza discourse — and that’s before factoring in the washing machine.
