Pulled this from the darkness ablaze pack in the first celebrations tin I opened 😎😎

[malie-garden]

Got some evolving skies cards and my brother pulled the shiny secret rare inteleon while the best pull I got was duraludon V i hate it here

[malie-garden]

The haul today. $200 for everything (including an orbeetle v that i bought for my brother and which isn't pictured)

Celebi, raikou, and delcatty are PRISTINE. There's a crease on blaziken so they knocked $70 off the usual price

Just scored 8 cards for $200, 2 secret rares, 1 prime, and 4 ex. Photos to come babey

Found one of the shining fates dedenne pin sets and pulled these guys. No full arts or anything, but the amazing rare reshiram is a pretty cool pull!

Filled out my collection of break cards. I never loved the break cards, but I'm really excited to have collected them all because it's the first section in my binder to be completed! Super satisfying to see the pages full

The tcg scene has been a mess lately, but I got these guys at my local card shop today. The magmar's kinda rough but he was only $3 and the others are in pretty good shape (magnezone & rayquaza are super nice!)

[malie-garden]

Yes I'm a Piers simp, we all have our flaws

[malie-garden]

Lol I've been hella inactive but just found this guy at my local comic shop and the owner sold it to me for $40 instead of the $80-$100 it usually goes for.

Finally found some hidden Fates cards (in a big pack that comes with a pokeball case). Spent $65 on it, and my brother accidentally bends my most valuable card.

First edition Dark Raichu, the first secret rare card printed in the Pokemon TCG

How do organize/store your cards?

My general cards are kept in card boxes. They're separated into type and then the individual cards are alphabetical.

I have one binder for promo cards, which is split into several sections (one for each promo set). The promo cards are put in numerical order.

I have a second binder for other cards, which is divided into Secret Rares, Full art, Gx, Tag team Gx, Mega Ex, Ex, ex, Prime, Star, First edition, Shadowless, and other misc valuable cards. Within each section the cards are organized according to set (starting with the earliest set) and then all cards in that set are put in numerical order. So, my full art section begins with the earliest set to include full arts (the black/white base set) and all full arts from that set are put in numerical order, followed by the next set.

I count out empty spaces in my binders when organizing so that when I get a new card I just have to put it in its designated space (as a result I don't have many full binder pages even though I have a lot of cards). All of my binder cards are stored in a clear plastic sleeve in the binder page bc otherwise they tend to slip out of the page.

My most valuable cards according to tcgplayer's prices

[malie-garden]

do you take requests for certain cards

Sure, if I own the card! I'm actually trying to find an efficient way to list my whole collection so you guys can see what I have. (Previously I was using a spreadsheet but it's a nightmare to manually update for each new set that releases)
