I feel a little bad posting a bunch of tcg art in a row in the microblog thread so at the very least I’ll do that here instead. I got into the tcg this fall shortly before the release of Surging Sparks. Mostly as a collector but I pay attention to what decks/pokemon are popular competitively. I never collected as a kid but I played the hell out of the 2-player starter set CD-ROM!
Currently planning a binder. First page will be dedicated to Ceruledge as it was a chase card I hit with my first pack. I also really like cards that are “pokemon and humans working or living together” so I may hunt singles of this theme for a double page spread in a 3x3 binder.
Not opening my box of Terastal Festival till Christmas so I’m living vicariously through youtubers. Seeing this set’s cards in hq video, damn the eeveelutions are growing on me, the Sylveon and Leafeon are wild!
If I pull one I’ll post a video because the flat images don’t do them justice.
Also, I learned that many people pronounce eeveelutions like evolutions with a long e. I always said eevee-lutions? The other way just sounds like how you’d say evolution in British English.
first image is the fav cards i pulled from the single pack i opened the other day. pretty cool luck to open one pack for the first time in years and pull a full art ex. sadly no real hits from the tin i opened last night, but i think it’s neat that i got the whole sprigatito line with a reverse holo and a holo (the meowscarada is the hollow, it doesn’t rlly show up on the pic). also this hoppip is cute.
woah those are so pretty!!! i’m considering saving my money to try and get a Prismatic Evolutions ETB when it comes out so i can hopefully get some good eeveelution cards. but idk if that’s a bad plan considering it’s highly anticipated and everyone’ll probably be all over it lol
I really dig the art on the Sprigatito line! Commons have some underrated art.
Yeah people are going bonkers for Prismatic already! Pre-orders went fast and I expect some (that weren’t through a major retailer) may even be canceled to increase the price. A combination of high demand, fomo, market speculation and scalping has made things really difficult recently in terms of availability and price, particularly for a hype special set like Prismatic.
The store where I bought Terastal Festival is already selling it for $60 more than what I originally bought my single box for. Hopefully the price goes down once the English comes out. It’d be nice to grab one or two more but only at/near msrp.
