    i felt the "in my day, reverse holos meant you had fakes" right in my core
  • James calling pidgey spearow every time without correction has been a treat.
  • @the6ig6adwolf
    I'm Gen-X, and therefore, know absolutely nothing about Pokémon but I'll happily watch a millennial tear some packs.
  • “Reverse holo Apple core, bet you can’t beat that card” James coming in with the applin and dipplin respect without realizing

    Ol' mate James at BUTTCRACK O'CLOCK on the American West Coast? Yes, I do.

    It’s humidity and differences in surface tension between the cardboard and foil layers that causing the bending. You could keep them in air-tight containment but honestly it’s not worth the trouble. The only people who really care are investors and speculators and honestly, fuck ‘em.
  • 2:20 That's Ceruledge and Armarouge, they were introduced in the latest Pokémon games Scarlet and Violet.
  • I haven't bought pokémon cards since gen 1, but I bought these boosters as a spur of the moment thing and I REALLY like the art on these cards. I gave away all of my old pokémon cards at some point, and I regret that now, but this felt like a good way to get back at having a collection again, and since I bought the Japanese ones it feels like it's a bit more "fresh" and different from anything I had before.
  • @ChiralWolf
    Pretty spot on with the curving! Humidity differences between the factory and your location, the cardboard expands as it absorbs water in the air but the plastic foiling does so it warps them. Putting them in the binder will help but the only "proper" way to fix it is with desiccant packs to change the humidity and then double sleeving them to keep ambient humidity out

    James I'm sorry to say you've discovered the joys foil trading cards. Leave them outside in any sort of weather that's too hot or too cold (like Adelaide atm) and you'll end up with pringles. Some foils are better than others but Colgate foils like Pokemon tend to be pretty bad. To answer some questions EX is pronounced as the individual letters, not as a word. Eee-Ex. While some Pokemon have been re-typed in the games, mostly a bunch of normal types gaining the fairy typing tcg typing is... weird and different. The reason the poison type pokemon that are dark type in this set is likely down to the team simply believing that it suits Poison type better than the Psychic type. First Editions no longer exist. A number higher than the set number just indicates some sort of higher rarity. I don't play enough Pokemon TCG to have it memorised so I can't be more help. But basically if it has a higher set number or multiple stars it's a rarer card. That does not mean it holds more value however.
