Hottest Trend
The absolute rarity vs. binder dilemma posted by @nikhil dominated the day, drawing seasoned collectors into a broad conversation about budgeting, goals, and what collecting is actually for.
Highlighted Content
- In the rarity vs. binders thread, @Josh shared a cautionary tale about deferring a No Rarity Base Set Charizard purchase — a card that has since ballooned from ~£750 to ~£5,000 — reinforcing the community consensus of most expensive first.
- @mathonsunday launched a new oddly specific binder theme: cards featuring multiple Pokémon of the same species, drawing immediate enthusiasm and prompting further additions from existing binders.
- The Is Pokémon just getting started? thread saw @Dyl deliver a detailed response, arguing Pokémon is more internationally popular today than in 1999, citing geographic expansion and multilingual print runs.
- @Abstractc0llection turned up a vintage EX-era miscut in bulk, with @Dyl and @wisewailmer confirming miscuts are notably rarer in EX sets than the WotC era.
- @pkmntrnant1 opened a thread on rare book collecting, specifically Harry Potter first editions, sparking a side discussion on UK printings and edition-specific values.
Collection Updates
- @Will confirmed in the “Your Rarest Card?” thread that Will’s Girafarig exists in English, German, Italian, French, and Japanese variants — and that a full deck now commands six figures, with no sale planned unless the price hits “a stupid number like a million dollars.”
- @thedittologist added new cards to The Dittologist Set.
Psy… psy psy — that’s all for today. Psyduck out.
