I told my friends and my partner that I wanted to open Pokemon cards for my birthday and boy did they deliver!

For the past 2-3 months we collected whatever we could find in stores and they even ordered some ETBs of my favorite sets. My friend that's living in Japan even sent me an amazing load of Japanese cards! Just put together the spread and we'll be opening them tomorrow. Will post the pulls we all get, just wanted to share this crazy set up!

Gave up months back after the boom and told myself I wouldn’t go out of my way to search and be disappointed. Caught a stocked vending machine leaving the grocery store. Never thought it would happen! Paldean Fates is first up to be ripped!

First time I’ve ever sniffed this set in the wild. Plus I love Groudon so I’m hyped

🎵Oh No! U should've kept it sealed!🎵 (I blame ur thumbs)

Pulled

I lost my 5 month little girl today and am crushed. I was always picking her up off my collection and trying to get her to not bite my cards. This morning I didn’t know she had chewed through some of my penny sleeves….

I’ve been broken all day and decided to sort through my prismatic binder (I’m not sure why I tried to master set I’m only like 35% of the way done). Anyways it took my mind off her for a little and when I went to sleeve up a pokeball I noticed the bite marks and it killed me. I decided to change out all my sleeves into bite mark ones. Sounds silly but it felt right. I’m sorry for bringing this here but I feel like this all I have. I would do anything to have her running around crazy on my collection🥹.

I think I’m going to try to see how close I can get to finishing the set and dedicate the binder to her. One day my kids will get to see her collection of bite marked sleeves.

Beautiful

I was at a card convention today. I haven't been able to find anything since December and I wanted to rip something. I heard journey together was a good set to rip, and this is what I got. Paid 75 dollars and turned it into 2

4 Wooloos in one week baby!!!

found an etb at my local shop for around 60 usd and opened it, safe to say best decision, got my top chase: illustration rare n’s reshiram.

Pulled the Bubble Mew, traded for the PC ETB and the Gardevoir. This has to be my favorite modern set.

Off center but what a way to start it off

Pulled a demi god pack from 5- 151 tins from Costco. Feeling pretty happy to add a few to the binder that I didn't have yet.

So happy to get these two! Just one more to go! I noticed the PSA text at the top is different but they are from the same set.. Already got the Jungle set done ✔️

Found more cards in my mom's house while moving stuff out. Part 2 from the original post that she left for the kids. Never seen some of these. Wanted to share.

I have been really lucky with CGC lately

These are pack wrappers I've been saving and not even all of them

Found some packs got some pulls!
