she arrived. i love her. looking at her brings me joy.
gardevoir has always been my comfort pokémon since gen 3. yes, i know about the "other things" she's known for </3
very proud of what i have so far :) imperfect, second-hand, damaged cards, but authentic. i don't open packs myself anymore (too expensive, especially when i only want 1 pokémon from them).
※ dni card-grading fanatics.
i got this gardevoir from an individual seller online for crazy cheap price – i think they sell rejected rares (collectors who grade cards do a preliminary scan to see if they'd get at least an 8 before they pay someone to actually grade them). i could sort of see why this one didn't pass the mark, but that's good enough for me~
total cost is php160 (usd2.60)
