rustedharmony's Eevee collection

There would be two approaches I would go with, so it’s hard to clearly go with something but I would go with something between A or B.

A. is great as a collective and viewing standpoint, but there’s two caveats: 1. There’s less protection in binders, and 2. It would become more expensive to grade expensive eevee cards in the future, because PSA may determine them to be too expensive for bulk grading, which can happen if you have some hidden gems in the collection that is on the rise!

B. is a good way of retaining the value of the expensive eevee cards you have, but it will break your collection as some will be in binders and some will not be. That may irk you if you are doing a full collection set and you may be itching to buy multiple copies of non-psa graded cards to put in your binder instead!

I would not just grade anything willy-nilly because grading is expensive, and you can save that money on grading to buy higher end collectibles with the bundle you save! Furthermore, lower grade, non-10 inexpensive cards occasionally hit the market on a discount because the seller is honest but does not like that the card did not hit PSA 10, so they will offload the card to recoup the PSA grading fees. There would be times you can snag PSA graded, non-10 cards where you’re basically only paying for the PSA grade fee, or even less!

Yeah a few cards hit the market strong when they first came out so idk If they can do bulk price. That’s why I thought doing all promos first would of be cheaper to psa grade.

I have seen psa 8/9s even 10s versions of my cards for $30-60 so I’m on the fence on whether to just get them graded. I will more than likely do the Eforum grading service, not through psa manually.

Eevee is getting a lot of cards in November & an Eevee GX Box in January! All info can be found spread out on www.pokebeach.com ! i just found out about the Lets Play theme deck so I had to make a list! My goals:

November 2nd english Lost Thunder Eevee x2- regular & reverse holo unless they change formats for this 200+ set!!!
November 2nd Eevee alternative art promo! Same as the Japanese pokecenter promo.
November 23rd japanese Eevee GX plus bonus common Eevees!!!
November 30th Let’s Play “Eevee theme deck” with an expected front holo card like previous decks & more common Eevees no doubt .
January 18th [edit!!!] Europe is getting an Eevee GX box!!! :sob: I’ might be an eBay stalker for that jumbo & another language Eevee GX which is rare in my collection. I usually collect japanese or English cards unless they are unique like the French McDonald’s pokemon cards. :stuck_out_tongue:

January 18th: ‘Jolteon-GX / Flareon-GX / Vaporeon-GX Special Collection boxes with an Eevee GX!!! I don’t NEED the evolution… so I may just hunt for the Eevee EX card to save money from all my other collecting! LOL

I would stick to raws in binders, except maybe a fan club if you manage to get one. A beat up one for the binder would probably still set you back $300-$400.

I may just slab the promos and keep the regular set cards in the binder. There are a lot of unique arts i don’t mind putting them in a box for later.

Achievement Unlocked I looked like a crazy person asking to sift through toys, took the time to push the card past the cardboard, 3 different McD thanks to some chill McDonald’s employees, helped a guy get a pikachu :joy: but I got it! This pic is priceless! I have all “Element Eevees” in print for English & Japanese! I can’t wait to chase the next Eevee cards!

Pokebeach gives us an end date of November 12th!!! Plenty of time to get all 8 toys & grab extra Eevees! This may keep this Eevee in Rotation? Idk how that works.

Haha, I love how the wheel arch panel of the truck obscures the attacks on purpose. That’s some genius level of anti-spoiler sticker design.

With Eevee taking over, I bet there is going to be Eeveelution decks in next year’s World Championships!!! Buzz, Raquaza, and all those decks in the meta needs to be taken down by the army of flareon, jolteon, or vaporeon decks! This 2018 McDonald’s Energy Evolution Eevee will keep Eevee current in standard next rotation and tournament! That can’t be by accident. Pokemon company WANTS to see them in competition next year. I’m making my way collecting McDonald Eevee playsets for my daughter’s sylveon deck! :kissing_heart: When the next year Worlds decks get published, I gotta grab those too… Along with my 2006 & 2007 World Championship Eevees. Eevee & Snorlax -GX with 270 will see play for sure so I’ll also grab a copy of the published Worlds card!

:star2:What Eeveelution deck do you think will make it?

Update: These are the easiest cards to get right now so I’m loading up! Zek & Resh had the cards facing up!!! The next pair of legendary toys could be blind, so I got a couple play sets to build proper standard decks… That’s the rule at our local comic shop for their “free play”. I will grab more so my kid can trade with other kiddos at my local comic shop! She has girl scouts on Thursdays but we’re going to try to come back to the free play soon. :heart_eyes:

A New *shiny* Eevee in Japanese GX Ultra Shiny set coming November 2nd!!! It will be an energy evolution eevee :heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes: I wonder if we’ll receive a Shiny set in English Or this is Japan’s solution to them not getting the McDonald’s cards!? :sunglasses::ok_hand:
