Its a lot of fun and something i take pretty seriously. Just dont really share that side of me too often but im trying to share more about the process and things these days. I would do the excel thing but thats out of my element and tbh im too intimidated to learn now.

Breaking it down a little bit but surging sparks came in today and im super excited to share with you guys. First things first the trainer tip cards. Idk if they always did this as i usually buy singles but i first noticed them with stellar crown and i had to have these ones too. My “supplier” is a shop owner (i know rules but i wont mention them but how cool is it to say you have a supplier?!) And hooked me up with all the surging sparks cards on my list for a great price. Super happy to see magenton get a prelease card and it looks like its already the popular one of the 4 after seeing some auctions on ebay. Anyway here they are in the binder, ill take pictures of the trainer tip cards later. Lucario staff should be here tomorrow.

These are pretty neat! It’s like collecting art sets of the booster packs, but in a nicer form. Do you know if these are the actual pack arts or are they different altogether?

Im not really sure as these are fairly new to me but from what i can tell it seems to be just card versions of the pack art. The back of them has trainer tips. I still have to do some digging on them but i know to keep an eye out for them now

My staff lucario said it was delivered two days ago but i havent received it. Pretty annoyed since it wasnt a cheap card but i reached out to the seller and hopefully we can figure something out. Seller is nice, and its been a garbage week dude just probably just going to take the loss and let it go because last time this happened it took over a month to get resolved. F me right haha

Ok story time. The lucario was marked delivered last week, and seller said he couldnt do anything. Fair, but i was upset nonetheless. Kept honest but not positive feedback (yeah i know im not proud of it.) I called the post office, got nothing. I gave up. Kind of figured it was just bad luck. Well today my little old neighbor lady knocked on my door and guess what she had in her mailbox 
im so embarassed and the guy blocked me so i cant apologize or request a feedback renewal. So if your on here man.
I am sorry, i knew from the start it wasnt your fault and i felt like you brushed it off. I cant apologize to you on there but if you see this just know it worked out and i apologize for any issues i may have caused.
Anyway here he is

I am glad to see that the Lucario showed up! You may want to speak to eBay to see if you can remove the neutral/negative feedback that you left.

I sent a request to customer support but i think he already got it removed

I’m so glad it showed up. I wouldn’t worry too much about the feedback. Your reaction was entirely valid and not your fault at all.

Thanks guys, i just gotta learn to take a breath when these kind of things happen. I tend to go from 0 to 100 pretty quick and they usually end up working themselves out

I have gotten a second contribution to my little community binder project. This person wanted to remain anonymous which is totally fine! We already have an amazing variety and we have only had two contributions so far! I dont care how long it takes, its fun and will be going to a good cause. Just a weird and fun way to give back involving something im passionate about. ANYWAY with the second addition it filled a second page! Really only hoped for one or two cards but people have been exceeding expectations! Without further ado here is the addition they sent, and just wow.
If youre interested in adding to it feel free to reach out. No pressure though im going to keep plugging away at it whether its random trades or if i keep adding from random pulls. When its full ill buy a new 9 pocket binder, auction it off. And we can donate it to no kid hungry since that one hits home.
