I don’t play or collect Magic at all but if I ever get any Magic cards those Lands will be it, they’re absolutely stunning. I’m a massive fan of synthwave, these are so my thing.

Nice! I actually sold the holo variants with the silver borders a few months ago but I’d owned them for years before realising there were two different versions. Can’t keep everything unfortunately!

I have bought numerous Vstar Universe singles over the last week. I think they are at the all time low since Vstar is apparently not getting reprinted again (we will see).

But I normally don’t share my posts, but this shows the data behind my decision to buy singles instead of the sealed booster boxes:

I have bought numerous Giratina Vstar Gold cards. They haven’t come in yet!

Great data, and single prices often don’t match singles. Seems like a nice oppertunity to complete a set!
Maybe a small error but the Irida full art is not $7, the graph is for I think Simisear (card number 214/172 matches that).

Edit: Your post made me buy 4 Simisears, awesome card and 8$ a piece feels like a steal.

The old magazines and comics are absolute gems. The amount of non-tcg rarity items not discussed goes pretty deep. Welcome to the rabbit hole!

thank you glad to see someone in the mindset that understand the importance of preserving this media. on the way to me is 3 books of japanese animedia. they depict the porygon shock incident with lots of post cards from the japanese people calling the anime to come back so i had to have them. for coro coro comic was also tcg related and some of my magazines are still with the cards unpeeled. i have with me about 12-13 books now and working on obtaining all the 1996-2000 era of them regarding pokemon, also many things like the electric tale of pikachu manga appeared there in their raw version as this manga was censored 1 time between coro coro magazine special when it released as manga in itself and once again when VIZ media released the manga in english. also the pokemon spaceworld demo what was leaked in 2018 some of the magazines actually show many photos from the overworld although online people always say there was never any information about it. even in the pokemon fan book that released in japan which i was able to get with the cards unpeeled, anyway that is just a tip of an iceberg and i rumbled on enough :slight_smile:

You might be interested in the 4-Frame Gag Theatre comics too if you don’t know about them already. The main series was started by Himeno in the early era of Pokemon (including a Coro Coro special edition) and then featured other artists in their own booklets. It depicts Pokemon in ridiculous and hilarious situations and includes a fun assortment of puns. I don’t have pics on hand but here are a few frames for Gyarados’ appearances:

Just started my shadowless masterset a month ago and the first cards came in the mail today!

Got this one for 399

Won this on an auction for 180 with only 3 watchers.
Auction was impossible to find on ebay for some reason.

These 2 cards i got on a fb group!
E3 pikachu is the rarest shadowless card in existence if im not mistaken.

Last is the first card for the fossil 1st ed. Psa 9 holo set im hopefully going to complete over the coming year. Got this one for 120 so i couldnt not buy it.

Best part is that i got all thes cards during the mid-month poverty deals!
Thanks @dblast for sharing that fine market knowledge

I ordered some EX series commons alongside a couple modern cards I still needed, to hunt for code variants. The three EX Team Rocket Returns Sentret among them ended up being a complete set of its three code variants - what luck!
