Hottest trend
The Rayquaza Gold Star thread erupted into a full community intervention after @Vertemes vented frustration over missing a GS Ray auction, sparking 50+ replies of market debate, generational advice, and at least one image macro.
Highlighted content
- In the same thread, @fourthstartcg pushed back firmly on revisionist history, noting that @Dyl had even offered to front money for the auction copy back in June. @Vertemes returned hours later after a cooldown, calling it “top 1 websites of all time.”
- The E4 Vintage Thematic Set Event got a lifeline — organizer @lghzcollect shared a difficult personal update, and @banks and @pikachutcg immediately volunteered to take over card editing and production duties.
- Over in The Giant English Market Thread, a high-profile Lugia sale came in well below its hyped valuation, with @ddk attributing the dip to Fanatics’ new anti-shill-bidding measures kicking in post-October 18.
- A new qotd thread on London Pokémon Store merch wishes produced @Professor_Broke’s instant-classic pitch:
Roadman Pikachu. Balaclava on. Zombie knife down it’s tracky bottoms.
- @Drew12 shared a rough story in the recent purchases thread: a carefully curated Pokémon Center stationery haul was stolen from the apartment mailroom while away on vacation.
Collection updates
- @Beebachu outlined an all-English Pikachu species collection, noting budget adjustments since post-Surging Sparks price spikes hit the “Pikachu tax” hard.
- @doobdoesscyther detailed a unique language-first binder organization system for the Scyther collection, fitting all existing Scyther cards into a 12-pocket binder by chronological language order.
This has been the Efour Digest — if your head hurts after reading all this market talk, don’t worry, Psyduck knows the feeling.
