Sports/Pokemon/Etc Trading Card Thread

Thread for discussion on trading card collecting, buying, selling, showing off, etc etc etc

 

nobody give @CobraKidJon any ohtani cards

 

I already pulled an Ohtani SUCKER

 

Its base level but still its a card

 

what's the best resource to track your collection? I've been meaning to do that even though I haven't bought a ton of baseball cards yet, want to keep up with it

also want to be able to see like, every Bobby Witt Jr or Vinnie Pasquantino card that's been made. if a service like that exists

 

Also would be interested in that.

pulled an error card from Bowman the other day, the ROTY contender banner cards wasn’t die cut.

 

I’ve been using tcdb.com. They cover any type of card so for people collecting multiple sports/games you’d be able to have everything in one place

 

My fiancée is a born and raised Dodger fan as well as a Smokey Bear fan. Found out in the 80s the California teams did card sets with Smokey and was able to surprise her with the ‘87 Dodger collection. Orel Hershiser is her all time favorite so him being included made it a massive win

 

I bought a roommate years ago a set of trading cards they made for the Batman 1989 movie. novelty stuff like that is fun.

 

Here I will talk about my Magic the Gathering history. I will also talk about Star Wars Destiny, a short-lived dice and card game made by Fantast Flight nearly a decade ago. I'll also venture into some tidbits about Lorcana and Star Wars Unlimited.

Lastly, I might discuss the merits of the new Gundam TCG coming out in a few months.

 

I collect some baseball cards here and there and whenever I go to our local kpop shop I always get a few packs of Korean Pokemon cards so I'll post some of my interesting finds here sometime

 

I subscribe to Beckett baseball just to use their Organize tool. They keep values pretty close to what they're going for, theyre definitely randomly off sometimes but it's useful for me

 

it's time for you to flex on us, captain

@xkj1985x

 

I bought this tin at Walmart a couple weeks ago, the four packs inside were pretty useless but it's neat to hold my Judge commons that top loaders aren't necessary for

 

Sharing my best pull and what I collect sealed in another post. This was from an ETB I only opened because it was ripped

 

wtf that’s so sick

 

one day i’ll complete my lil rainbow

 

can I see the card thoooo I might have a hook up for you

 

im 15 packs in and I haven’t got shit but I’m cool with never getting prismatic lol

 

I currently only open packs from pokemon and baseball just cause of dodgers fandom

Nothing else really interests me

but god I just wanna say fuck that Gary vee scam pokemon so hard I just needed a place to say that lol

 

The only thing sealed of Pokemon I really collect are Elite Trainer Boxes. Currently have every Scarlet & Violet (Journey Together was not out when I took the pic), and Sword & Shield non-Pokemon center variant besides Fusion Strike (have the PC version tho). Started working on Sun & Moon but ETBs like Team Up which were $750ish around the end of 2024 is now $1900-2000+

Goal is to at least finish Sun & Moon eventually and hope for a crash, but I'm mostly priced out for now besides new sets. At least half of the ETBs were purchased for under MSRP when TikTok was going crazy with coupons and no one wanted Pokemon

 

It's such a painful set. I ended up opening the rest of my sealed Prismatic stash of 8 ETBs a week after this pull and didn't get any other Eeveelution SIR. I would be down so tremendously if it wasn't for the Umbreon lol

I got 18 Prismatic booster bundles waiting for me whenever I leave back to the west coast that I should sell, but I know I'll open

 

it’s just so beautiful
