If the PTCGO's Gem debacle is anything to go by then there's a very high chance that it WOULDN'T be done right. I'm sure we all remember the math that went into figuring out the rate money spent on Gems, the Gems spent on packs, and discovering that TPCi had absolute gall to charge the MSRP of a...

Ugh... I'm already not liking what I'm seeing here. It looks okay at a glance but other factors (that I'll bring up later) make me hold off on saying that it's good. I'm also bothered by the lack of concrete numbers for the amount of credits we get for dusting excess Full-Arts, Trainer Gallery...

Someone on Twitter mentioned that the FA Professor Juniper from PLF currently goes for around $80-$90 USD on sites like TCGPlayer and Troll and Toad so there’s definitely a demand that can‘t be explained away with the usual “set-limited staple card” rule that causes some cards to balloon in...

And the key word here is “should”, we all know that the Marnie box was scalped to Tartarus and back and I sincerely doubt that this set will be spared that fate.

I have a feeling that dusting will follow the latter for simplicity’s sake (it’s probably easier to code the game so that copies beyond the usable limits are instantly dusted than coding an option that gives players the choice in what gets dusted or not) as well as being a safeguard against...

Well A friend of mine insisted we watch the video together and I noticed that there is a more traditional layout that’s similar to the PTCGO’s, I assume that it’s going to be for the desktop version of the app and SERIOUSLY hope that the tablet version of the app gets it as well. If my iPad is...

Yecch, I’m still not liking the fact that TPCi is sticking with that scrunched-up mobile “friendly” look for the app. Some of us prefer to play the game on other platforms that can actually SUPPORT the traditional PTCG layout and would like to stick to it rather than being forced to adapt to...

Eh, as long as it doesn’t affect people buying cards for gameplay purposes then I’m fine with it. Collectors are getting more and more ravenous these days. To be fair you could say that for a bunch of other collectables as well, although that part is only applicable to US sellers due to a new...

Well choke my goats with Ovaltine! I was wrong about Vaporeon not getting a CHR print! Other than that I was right to some extent, we got reprints of some Supporters in the form of FAs (but not Rainbow Rares) some feature characters that weren’t represented in FA form (Prof. Juniper, Lysandre...

They’ll probably get shoved into next year’s “holiday” set like GX Ultra Shiny and Shiny Star V were.

Oh, these leaks are good… For the 24 cards between Blissey V and Pikachu VMAX I have a feeling that they’ll consist of FA and Rainbow Rare versions of the newer Supporters (Gloria, Galar Friends, Acerola’s Premonition, and Cafe Master), new FAs and Rainbow Rares for some reprinted Supporters...

Vaporeon is out of the running due to the way CHRs are structured in the set, Octillery is #191 while Frosmoth is #192. I’m not 100% sold on Jolteon getting a CHR due to how many regular Pokemon are sandwiched between Frosmoth and Flaafy (5 if you exclude Basics) but Flareon has a really good...

My guess is that it'll either be Flareon or Jolteon, remember that Blue/Gary had 'em (as well as Vaporeon) in Yellow depending on how well you fought him in certain battles. I doubt that he'll be on Umbreon V/VMAX since the set's drawing more from the mainline games rather than the anime for...

Right, I guess what I (and I hop other people) are trying to point out is if it's the moral thing to do given the current shortages, shipping issues, and the ambiguity on when it'll all end. When a certain brainless YouTuber with 1+ million subscribers makes a video about how they pulled an...

From what I understand 5ban is an in-house artist, Creatures Inc. uses ‘em because it’s cheaper than hiring an outside artist to do it.

Sigh… There are honestly times when I wish that last May’s Target fiasco caused an even BIGGER stink in the trading card scene, this is one of those times. The announcement of ANOTHER piece of media that glorifies this disgusting (I’d use another word here, but people take issue with it for...

The League Battle Decks are never 1-1 remakes of actual top-tier decks, they’re almost always a mishmash of different variants from at least 2-3 months before they’re announced along with some form of dead weight. In the case of these decks, I can see the dead weight in the form of 2x...

Meh, they could delay it until the heat death of the universe and I'd probably still prefer the TCGO over TPCi's Zog-awful take on an MTG Arena/Hearthstone-inspired PTCG app.

And you lost me at the bolded part, those worthless piles of scum are taking advantage of the current supply issues (and TPCi’s own general ineptitude) and making it exponentially worse for the other two parts you mentioned.The only way I could see this getting any better is if we get a fiasco...

My guess that they won’t be in this set and saved for either a 2022 Holiday set or a promo box.
