Not counting Gen 7 and Alolan Pokemon, the remaining Pokemon who have had zero cards are all Megas: Mega Pinsir Mega Sableye Mega Medicham Mega Sharpedo Mega Camerupt Mega Banette Mega Latias Mega Lopunny Mega Abomasnow Mega Salamence and Mega Garchomp haven't had cards yet, but they get them...

I hope that card represents the actual size of the first Sun & Moon set. :cool:

Also keep in mind that PTCGO has a banlist separate from the actual one; for instance, Ninja Boy was banned for a month or more on PTCGO despite being legal irl, because it had a glitch. There's a chance that one of your cards is similarly temporarily banned in PTCGO and so you're getting a...

There's five of these boxes -- of the three released so far, Charizard and Dragonite are straight reprints whereas Mewtwo is a Promo (since it has new art). Gengar has the same art/attacks, so you can expect it to be a reprint and thus not Standard legal.

Welp, it's that time again. Evolutions has released, and I've updated my spreadsheet. Here is the breakdown! In Evolutions... 64 Pokemon were last seen in XY sets. 1 Pokemon was last seen in BW sets. 2 Pokemon have never had cards before.* *(this includes M-Pidgeot and M-Slowbro) 96% of the...

Congrats to all, and thanks! :D :D

Yeah, miscuts like this happen more often than they should these days. In grading terms this is considered an "off-center print". The value isn't increased with this sort of misprint, unfortunately; in fact, its value is actually slightly decreased when graded (though it should maintain the...

This confirms that Magearna won't precede the starters in the dex like Victini did back in Gen 5, at least.

I totally forgot they aren't legal. Well played, TPC. Well played.

Looks like we finally have an affordable Shaymin-EX. Nevermind. Forgot they aren't legal. :D

Bought 5x BreakPoint packs today, in my seemingly never-ending quest to get a Skyla FA. I ended up pulling a M-Scizor EX FA, and... an error pack. One of my packs had no reverse foil; it had a normal Shellder card in its place. Weird.

That's my issue too. I've resorted to no longer using the card trick so I can avoid the code card's spoilers. I wish they had used the same code card design for both cases and changed something else, like making it a hair thicker.

@JoolzV I did some more scouring, and I came across someone who has a similar smudge, although a different color and placed over the card art: http://i.imgur.com/GJh4Yqg.jpg My best guess, going by the various pics we have, is that it's a droplet of ink or some similar printing gunk. I do...

I've bought so many, SO MANY, Breakpoint packs hoping for a pack-fresh Skyla FA. Still no luck after all this time. I need an IRL Lucky Egg.

A common-ish retort in some places; something I like to keep in mind: Don't yuck my yum. It's usually used in regards to lewd stuff these days, sadly. But once upon a time it referred to interests and attractions in general. It sucks when you love something and friends (or strangers) feel like...

Judging by the bid history (which is largely one person outbidding himself, followed by unnecessarily high bids by factors of hundreds), I wouldn't be surprised if it was some scam to make the card look valuable so they can reference this auction price in future listings.

Just wanted to say I second this notion. I've been playing around with Talonflame (Steam Siege 96) in a few decks and it's a pretty ruthless starter at times. Probably worth a shot to see if it fits your playstyle.

In estimating skill: I think luck plays a role (moreso in some decks than others), as well as the player's level of knowledge regarding common -- and perhaps gimmicky -- card interactions. However, I consider the biggest indication of skill to be found in a player's mind-gaming abilities. Often...
