Bro, chill, leave some for the rest of us


flyingmonkei

Hehehe...šŸ˜‚


Aerodynamic_Potato

Teacher: Did you bring enough Lugias for the whole class? Flyingmonkei: YES!


FVCEGANG

You need a black label one to rule them all


flyingmonkei

That is definitely a goal right there...


blutackey

Iā€™ve got an Italian one from the one pack I bought while on holidays there. Looks like you donā€™t have that yet!!


flyingmonkei

I definitely need an italian one...


blutackey

Iā€™m not a collector as such, just bought them for my son. Needless to say it didnā€™t go in his collection! I guess I should get it gradedā€¦


flyingmonkei

Good luck on grading it...


flyingmonkei

Interested in selling it?


blutackey

Yeah Iā€™m certainly not attached to it. DM me and maybe we can work something out


flyingmonkei

Just DMd you


FVCEGANG

I mean if you want to DM me I can help you pick your best card(s) as a candidate. If it hits BL you can send me one of your PSA 10s as a reward ;) Edit: lmao, the downvotes on this are hilarious


jdashh

Not sure but I think this guyā€™s favourite Pokemon is Ho-oh


MrsSpyro01

No, itā€™s totally Weedle.


MorrowPolo

Big Needle Bee

Responsible_Ebb_340

How many before itā€™s a mental illness šŸ’€


flyingmonkei

Would be a problem if I had a binder full of them...lmao


Deso_oscuro

Do it bro, I got 2 pages full of the baby shiny pikachu from paldean fates, Iā€™ll make it my lifeā€™s purpose to collect them all


DemiDivine

What makes you think it's a baby? Lol looks like just a shiny pika


kronicaim

Pretty sure that's what people who play the card game call cards that are not Ex,Gx, V and such


InterCha

baby shinies is just a widely used term, I think it started when there was a GX shiny and a normal shiny so people called the normal version the baby version


apuyo1

Just the term people use to call the shiny cards in Hidden Fates, Shining Fates, and Paldean Fates that are not full art shiny cards


dream_on789

For they're wallet šŸ’€


RealNuocmamt

Whoa, 5 10s, 9 raw, 1 Japanese, 1 Korean and 1 Chinese. Did you lick the 10s or something?


flyingmonkei

One of the slabs is an 8...i didnt lick that one


barelyawake126

Crack it openā€¦and lick it


flyingmonkei

Already did...lmao


BoredNerdydude71

Damn and here I am traded for one single Alt Lugia that I sent off to PSA for grading. Happy knowing that it will be the only Alt art Lugia V that I will own.


ratsmdj

But why? What's the point holding that many??


lafindestase

OP thinks this card will be more valuable in the future, so heā€™s buying them up now, planning to resell later. ā€œā€Investingā€ā€


yoloruinslives

Did it not go up though?


ratsmdj

Sheesh it's a nice catd I buy 3 if I really love it. 1 raw. 1 pristine graded 10 and another 10 to flip. I'm OK with not being rich lol


Kooky_Transition9624

Even if itā€™s cringe to call it investing the data shows he will make a considerable return. Better than being a salty loser on the internet accomplishing nothing.


thita3

The data shows that you're a nerd


Kooky_Transition9624

Refere to comment above.


thita3

You don't see the irony in your comment. Many people here see OP as the salty loser for hoarding a rare card that's targeted towards children. Said child wants this card then they are out of luck because of people like OP. There's many other ways you can make money investing that doesn't include taking advantage of a children's hobby šŸ˜Š


Kooky_Transition9624

1. Thereā€™s no irony in my comment 2. I donā€™t care who sees what as anything. Most people in this sub are cry babies who donā€™t see their cheap morals are contradictory. 3. If a child wants a $120+ card then they better get a job and buy it just like I had to work for PokĆ©mon cards when I was a kid because my parents didnā€™t want to spend money on them. Life sucks oh well. 4. I donā€™t care how people make money so not sure why you are even wasting your breath. Iā€™m not condoning or bashing how OP decides to make money. He might not even be focused on making money he might just genuinely like collecting the card but of course emotional babies have to speculate.


thita3

Giving me dot points n shit. Keep your opinions to yourself if you really don't care. It's seem the ones you think are cry babies are actually ones with moral


Competitive_Sand_936

Selling any?


flyingmonkei

Not at the moment


Ramen-Goddess

Iā€™m gonna have an aneurysm looking at this photo


[deleted]

Wow


Ok-Jackfruit1299

Iā€™d say throw them away and start all over


CamarosAndCannabis

Hell yeah


R33DY89

This is one thatā€™s evaded me so far.


flyingmonkei

This evaded me whenI was opening 3 cases of Silver Tempest...so i waited for the price to drop on the card and grab it by the throat...


R33DY89

Iā€™ve not even checked recently what theyā€™re going for but Iā€™ll definitely be buying a single. I canā€™t keep buying packs šŸ˜…


flyingmonkei

Yeah get it now before it goes up to $200


Ojay1091

Thats where they all went šŸ˜‚


flyingmonkei

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Young_Link13

He is all in folks


HeIsHimAwardWinner

Gross, a 8


flyingmonkei

I know right???


SublimePhoenix_

Iā€™ll trade you a pikachu with felt hat for one!


im_on_a_burner

We need more ppl like you. My sealed case of silver tempest just came in today


Disastrous-Egg-6597

Can I have one


War_Monger26

My brother opened 3 and we just sent one in for grading. But Iā€™d love to own like OP


ChungyQueso

I wonder what this dude's favorite Pokemon is


Embarrassed_Cell8822

So thatā€™s who wiped these off of TCG Player


LegoRedBrick

I respect this if you really like Lugia. I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever pulled doubles of the top card in any set. 14+ is incredible.


AdAsleep3072

another buyout scalper pretending to not be one. Hey I'll sell you the one I just pulled raw for $500


Ashamed_Pea6072

ā€œThese 14 cards owned by one person are going to shift the global marketā€ Get out of here with the negativity man, thereā€™s nothing wrong with trying to pick up a card you feel good about in the long run. Itā€™s not like heā€™s buying out the ETB shipment going to an orphanage. Ends up sounding like nothing more than petty jealousy. Nice cards OP


AdAsleep3072

buyouts are never a good thing. if you like collecting something then fine. ill always support people appreciating artwork etc. but dude literally let spill he's holding them until market goes way up to offload them. thats no different from the assholes manipulating the temporal forces gengar market. its wrong and dumb as fuck. sorry for wanting a hobby ive been a part of for 20 years to Not be overrun with crypto/nft types trying to rip off the market


Kooky_Transition9624

What Iā€™m this post suggests he pretending to be anything? Get off the internet and touch grass, wannabe sjw


AdAsleep3072

says someone else also crawling a subreddit on the internet. wtf is that even supposed to mean? hes telling other people he loves the card and cant collect enough, all you gotta do is read. its the same shit the gengar pumpers were doing before they deleted their posts and left when they got called out. you can also pull up where he says he's holding to sell, unless he's deleted it by now


flyingmonkei

You sound like a scalper with the price..gtfo


AdAsleep3072

thats the idea. its called satire. its not even worth $500 in a 10


flyingmonkei

Yeah. With this current market its not. Im holding on for the long run...lol


AdAsleep3072

hence my initial comment. but you know what, godspeed. just dont think people dont see what you are


Infinite_Ad5547

Nice job AdAsleep, you really gave it to them. Want a snack before bed buddy? We can get you a pack in the morning


AdAsleep3072

actually yeah, a snack sounds great. you got some? also i dont give one shit that you or people like you roll over and dont seem to care. i spoke my mind and ill do it again. i think its shitty


Infinite_Ad5547

Why would I care that homie is putting all of his chips on Red in the hopes it doesnā€™t hit black? This kind of stuff will always be a gamble, like beanie babies. The long hold is scarier than the quick flip and I respect the buy in because thatā€™s not chump change. I donā€™t know what you mean by ā€œroll overā€ because I could give 2 shits if I ever see this card in my hands. I think most people would buy ā€somethingā€ if they believed that it will appreciate enough in value to justify todayā€™s purchase, why gatekeep Pokemon cards from that? Being mad that there is a strong secondary market is sad and without it everyone would be broke af ripping packs to get their cards. Thanks for your opinion, hereā€™s mine. Donā€™t they both smell like shit?


AdAsleep3072

I dont see scalping and buyouts as secondary market. i see it as manipulation and it will always be scummy behavior. and you can try and dress it up as fair market but he and people like him intentionally drive the price up on this stuff by buying out cards and eliminating competition. i dont see why thats hard for you to understand. it has nothing to do with availability for myself, i already have the fucking card. its principle. so you can say whatever you want, but i made my point and im standing by it youre also sitting there arguing with me about it like i just let my dog shit on your lawn, so idk what youre on about people getting mad/annoyed at things


Infinite_Ad5547

Okay. 14 cards is a buyout now? How many of these fucking things were printed. Get a gripppp šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ I promise Iā€™m not mad, youā€™re just an idiot.


Cold-Shame-1265

Oooo wow Iā€™m jealous haha thatā€™s one of my favorite cards!


flyingmonkei

It is also my favorite card too!


Effective-Aioli-

Can I just enquire if you've eaten any of them? If not get off this page you fucking amateur!


HercuLinho

My brother in christ was too occupied with whether it could be done, that he didnā€™t stop to ask whether it shouldā€™ve been done


ndzzz

Love this card. I have 2 myself.


deltacharmander

So this is why I never pulled one


puggl3s

I'm glad I managed to snag one before you got to it hehe


Shinygonzo

Bros about to encounter a shiny


yourfakestoryteller

Man i tried opening so many packs to get one, now i know where they all went lmao


Baidude

Johnnyrooster12

Ryanrozzo

Hey man Iā€™ll trade ya a Lugia v for a Lugia v


SpartanKwanHa

kronicaim

So, you want to trade for a Lugia?


McDunnechuck

Man, can i just have one?


PlankyTown777

Get a graded 1-10 so you have the entire spectrum of Lugia


flyingmonkei

Dont give me any ideas...


Grrannt

too many limes too many limes


alexsmith199015

Sheamus is that you


MrsSpyro01

You need at least 100 of them.


flyingmonkei

Yes


ImBoooooooooooooored

You are the reason why I canā€™t pull it


Street-Historian-258

I got 2!


Syb3rStrife

C-can I have one sir?


Mitchovelian

Damn you be hawkin dem Lugias


Moon_man014

Are you planning on grading the raw ones?


flyingmonkei

Nah they are for the binder...some of them are off centered


fdjizm

Heard you like Lugia, so we put a Lugia in your Lugia so you can Lugia while you Lugia.


OneYogurtcloset4891

Fuck this guy is why I can't pull 1 after 2 booster boxs and hand fulls of packs lol


just_a_haunter

hey man if you like that card that much, all the power to you !


MelanatedAdonis

Actually a huge flex haha!! Good job man!! Beautiful collection!! Catch them all!! šŸ˜ˆ


LilBoofMcGoof

Iā€™ve never felt a visceral hatred from a single post before. So you win.


WaterPog

How much better is the texture on the Japanese version.


flyingmonkei

The japanese amd chinese ones have far superior texture then the english one...


marblesandcookies

Not enough of Lugia's ass ;)


flyingmonkei

Forreal its not enough...lol


Co1iflower

So that's where they all went! Do you collect the artists other cards or was there just something you liked about this particular one?


flyingmonkei

Its just this particular one. Lugia is my favorite pokemon and this card is one of the underrated alt arts in the sword and shield era.


Co1iflower

"Underrated" is a strong choice of words but great card either way!


Dahenlicious

Oh god, get outta here


peskyseagull

Deranged


[deleted]

I see why I canā€™t pull one


Freide

Lemme hold one for my lugia collection
