>>57646499dont use the strap. and the binder in the picture, the ones without rings with the higher quality pages that aren't clear, at worst they'll put a slight bend in your card depending how you lay it or where its positioned exactly inside which sleeve. nothing that cant be gently pressed out later.
i personally use an ETB and the sleeves that come with them. i dont like top loaders and i think im going to quit binders.
>>57646918youre projecting and victim blaming. you seem very much part of the problem. how is a human being like you supposed to make the hobby more attractive? i think im ready to call it quits just because how much i dislike the other people who buy them.
i have a few 1997 cards graded because just like with comics, if its old it belongs in a museum. no need to play with / read it. find another copy or placeholder instead. keep the original mint. and not just out of its monetary value but out of appreciation for what it actually is.
>>57647293this is true and has been since the beginning.
>>57647373dont JP cards have higher chance pull rates? as far as supply and demand goes, that means theres more in circulation therefore they aren't as rare and thus valuable. vibrant enough? as if im going to look at the two of them next to each other. Pokemon cards are colorful enough lol the extra gloss or whatever doesnt matter. id rather be able to actually read what it says.
>>57648892are you trying to make sense or something? anyone who has ripped enough packs knows you never actually break even. not unless you get into the hobby, buy some packs, score really big and then immediately quit and never buy another pack again. because you will inevitably go into the negative. and your collection will not be worth more than what you spend until after you're dead. doesn't matter if you spend $4.79 per pack.. you're going to miss way more than you hit. and when you hit its rarely that substantial.
