Fantastic post Otaku. Everything you said is pretty much spot on. I fall into a mix of collector (primary) and casual player (TCGO mostly). I would love to play more of the game IRL, but I fall into the "older" category when it comes to Pokémon (I am in my forties) and I feel, well...old when...
You know, I'll never understand why the sets have to be so many cards. You said it above, like 70% of the cards are hopeless in game play and are strictly for collecting. I'd prefer a SOLID/Well balanced 50-60 card set where all the cards have some chance at seeing game play. I know this is a...
I agree...I have pulled SO many poorly cut cards in the past year that it has become almost impossible to get a "mint" set. Just open an older pack and you can see the difference, its amazing. I just opened the new Magearna Mythical Collection for an upcoming video on my YT channel and the...

Thank you again for the replies. I agree, this is just not a card that can be displayed properly to make it "collectable". I'll hold on to it as a keepsake though.
Thanks for the reply. I mean I guess someone could reproduce this but in this case I actually have it on a video coming from a sealed pack. I know what you are saying though. The only reason I don't think it could be reproduced is because there is a lack of adhesive between the foil and the...
I posted this in another thread but didn't receive any feedback so I thought it needed it's own thread.
Ok, so I have a YouTube channel where I open Pokémon TCG product and during one of those videos I was opening a Phantom Forces booster from a Charizard EX Box when I pulled this:

Ok, so I have a YouTube channel where I open Pokémon TCG product and during one of those videos I was opening a Phantom Forces booster from a Charizard EX Box when I pulled this:
If you cannot tell, this is a Malamar EX #58 from Phantom Forces. The foil is not even glued except for the lower...
