Hope all is good with you ! Ah my collection is nothing special. As the meme goes it aint much but its honest work . Would many people use this forum vs the discord server ?
I’m a big fan of Dark Charmeleon from the original Team Rocket set. I’ve been collecting since Pokemon first released in the West. I’ve been a fan most of my life.
Defo should have been made a holo. Absolute banger of a card. I think they dropped the ball with destined rivals now. A few cheeky full art versions of the old would have gone down so so well !
Welcome, @Giovanni_is_King ! Here’s hoping you win the lottery then! Glad you found us from the Emerald Isle, and I hope you enjoy interacting with the community here.
A nice variety of things there! Also, someone your age into old physical music? Very cool. I was a jazz (vocals), tap, and theatre professional for years. Lots of musical family. Cool stuff! There’s just something about record and CD covers that we lose with digital music today. A shelf of albums or a library of books is just a whole other layer of engagement. Legit. AAAnyway. Welcome to the forum!
Hey, all we care about here is that you’re doing something you enjoy, regardless of how impressive your collection is! And discord is a very different pace and vibe overall, but there’s definitely some overlap in users! That said I’m rarely on there, so I’m not the most knowledgeable.
I originally bought a few albums after pulling an old dusty CD player out of my closet in high school because I wanted to listen to music while doing homework without getting distracted by my phone. I only had three albums.
Then, I realized how much better it made my time management and how much I enjoyed owning physical copies of stuff. I have about 160 albums on CD and vinyl combined. My favorites to play on my turntable are the My Hero Academia Heroes Rising Soundtrack and Currents by Tame Impala. My favorites to play in my CD player are Prelude to Ecstasy by The Last Dinner Party and Parachutes by Coldplay. If you like classical music and theater, I think you might like that album by The Last Dinner Party.
Oh for sure i enjoy collecting ! Got a few Ted Lewis autographs too . Will try get a card or two signed each time he floats around this side of world. Think the nidoking from destined rivals would be a quality card to get signed . Do you get any cards signed ? Some people have very extreme views on both sides about autographing cards.
Thanks very much for the warm welcome. So far so good , everyone is friendly and i havent been told to jog on . Double win i guess . Yeah that card is amazing for sure i seen one in real life and just wow . Artwork is savage. Arita is a very good artist .
Nice! Usually, I’m a jazz, fusion, rock guy (things that include blues notes), but I appreciate it all. Last Dinner Party is an interesting album so far (listening now). Reminiscent of a few groups. I’m hearing a Goldfrap, Coldplay, and others possibly in there.
I am definitely enjoying it ! Came across some korean booster boxes . Thought initially the cards were fake as the color on back of card is slightly off and card has a glossy feel to it. Finally got a giovanni card
I would love to get some autos, but I think only if I got them personally. I think they’re cool on the general market, but I like the idea of it being more personal!
I wouldnt be selling any of the giovanni ones now . I got 2 x erika auto at psa wrapping up. If they do well i might sell one to recoup costs and keep other. If they didnt well they will be displays on either end of a shelf !
Hey all,
I’m new to the forum so thought Id introduce myself a little!
I’ve been collecting since I was a kid but got into other card games before coming back to Pokémon during covid!
I started collecting around champions path and started to play the TCG evo skies! My main collecting goals atm is a full Hidden fates shiny vault and as many full art trainers I can afford ahaha
Excited to find a space like this!
Welcome @Fluffytoffee ! Your collecting goals sound like a lot of fun. I’m looking forward to seeing them progress.
Warm welcome to the forums @Fluffytoffee . Glad to have you here and also good to know about your collection goals. Trainer full arts are great to see but need to be budgeted well indeed. Looking forward to seeing your collection in a thread sometime. Have an amazing time on the forums.
Cheers!
Welcome @Fluffytoffee! Have you had a favorite deck since you got back into the TCG?
Hey ya’ll I’m Nugtrio. Been collecting since I was young (and stopped for a long while, but got back in just last year). Recently, I found out my dad threw away all my cards as an adult, so now I’m on a quest to buy back some of the cards I had back then. I’ve also worked at cardshows helping my buddy out for the last six months so I’m always learning! He said this was the place for the deep knowledge so now I’m here.
Welcome @Nugtrio ! I’m sorry to hear your original cards are gone but I’m glad to hear your are building your collection again.
Welcome @Nugtrio! I’m sure helping at card shows has brought you back up to speed quickly! Looking forward to hearing more from you!
