I'm new to collecting pokemon cards and the I've been collecting from the most recent surging sparks set (i think thats the most recent) but im not really sure how to store them what ive been doing is keeping them in the etb and using the sleeves i got from the etb.

Can i have some help knowing what sleeves i should buy and how i should store my cards because I'm pretty sure just putting them in the etb isnt smart (i could be wrong)

Hey everyone, so I am slowly getting back into the hobby after years and years of being on the sidelines watching.

So here is my issue, I want to get back into the hobby which means I want to open boxes instead of storing them. I know this is not a good idea in terms of value and investing, however I want to partake in the hobby and love the idea of collecting cards.

That being said, I would prefer that the boxes I break are going to have decent cards in them that may eventually over time appreciate in a decent way. Am I saying this is going to be profitable? No. I am just trying to maximise value so that in 15 years, I have a chance at selling at a 50% loss, instead of a 90% loss.

So the overall question is, if you were going to spend around 300$ on boxes right now, which ones would you get, knowing you were opening the cards, but had long term value of the cards in mind.

Apologies if that is a stupid question, but I thought I'd give it a go here!

Thanks!

I’m looking for guidance on where I can get a template for a PSA style grading label. I commissioned a custom card for my husband for Christmas and I want to put it in a case; I was able to get a case on Amazon, but I want to have a label made that I can print myself. I found one on Etsy that would be mailed but I’m afraid it won’t get to me in time. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello, I can’t seem to find any info online about these cards, can anyone shed some light on what they are worth?

Two in the middle are first edition holo. Pídgeot is a misprint from jungle i think or fossil. Shadowless mewtwo 🫥

Hello. I am looking to see if anyone has any insight on this card and how much it might be worth. I looked it up and a typical one is only a few dollars for decent condition and a bit more for mint. However, this card has the bottom of the card cut off and you can see what looks like the bottom of a different card across the top of this one.

Is there some know factory defect with this thing or did someone do a crappy job with printing off their own copy of some cards and not cut them right?

I don't really know too much about these things. My daughter has a binder of cards she's looking to sell and we just want to make sure she can get a good price.

Thank you everyone in advance and have a great day!

I got these semi rigid card holders but didn’t realize they were quite flimsy (I know, I’m dumb). I know PSA actually recommends these type of card holders but I cringe at the thought of having to put them in between card board and tie them with rubber bands to send them in. Does anybody have experience with this? Am I overreacting?

I want to collect a master set of arcanine so some questions

i just Wrote this List From bullpedia is there anything missing ?

Hi guys, kinda new to reddit! So excuse me if this isn't allowed.

I recently bought this slab of a 1996 corocoro comics flying pikachu and I cant find anything about the card.

Does anyone know what it's worth? (Bought it for 75 euro) because I liked to collect pikachu cards.

Besides getting a little bit more knowledge about the card, I thought it would be a nice one to show off to other collectors who like these kind of cards.

Excuse the English! I'm not a native!
