Yup! for chase cards I try to get 2 if feasible. 1 to trade or sell down the road and one for keeps.
For cheap ARs and commons I really like I try to have at least 3. One to keep and the others to keep or giveaway or to do whatever with.
Generally will get English and Japanese but on full arts prefer S Chinese since that text takes up the least space on the card and need to shop that language more
anyhow sometimes if its some super cheap card and looks awesomeâŚwhy not?
For all of 2 seconds I tried a 4 pocket binder that would house my favorite IR cards from SV era sets. each page being 4 of my favorite card from each set. But then pokemon pocket happened and prices on some of my favorites went through the roof. The real sticking point was the groudon IR. But before those days, man I was scooping up my favorites for like $2-$5 looking for the cleanest one to put in my binder.
Sometimes I really canât help myself. Iâve recently fixated on another card that fits my criteria perfectly recently. Inexpensive, no hype, cool and unique art.
Pulled these two myself back in the day while I was actively hunting for the card. When Shining Legends was a bargain bin set, lol. Getting the second one ultimately inspired me to start a Grandmaster+ set with all the related promos and such. The first one resides in my main binderâs Mewtwo page.
I also got this Southern Islands Mew and Flareon EX from a trade last year.
The problem isn´t so much Dunsparce. Dunsparce was actually a cool troll PokÊmon. The problem is more that they made the same joke again 20 years later.
That´s like asking someone to get in your car, then driving away as they aproach, and doing that same thing again a few miles further.
What´s more, the possibilities with an evolution for Dunsparce were endless.
I used to like have duplicates of things I collected but then everything started to go up a lot in price and I learned that Iâd rather have the funds to buy more thing for my collection than have duplicates. Only exception to this is my non-DM era Yugioh cards and that is only because you need multiples to make decks look pretty.
I donât have a need to have duplicates of my favorite cards.I do have some duplicates mostly as @Quuador when they overlap binder collections, like illustration rares that are also 4â11", or cards that go in my Artist binders and illustration rare binder or spices binder. I do have many radiant Greninja (my signature card) though, in different languages or stamp/sets.
Iâm too deep in the variant game to seriously go for duplicates, outside the few absolute top bangers that i want to stare in my display every day, just look at it
