@GhostProTCG mega gengar taking the slot was never close. that grin owns the whole page and it knows it

@jeffthrowcards crispy-edged broccoli is the full art of side dishes. rice and mince are the bulk commons holding the plate together

@UniteVids regigigas needs a whole slow start just to get out of bed and the first job they hand him is shoving ice around. the anger is earned

@TheEnthusiastG finding one in that shape is a pull all by itself. is it staying sealed on the shelf forever or is there a rip day coming?

@austinzgifford @pokebeach same read here. a card that good doesn't vanish, it shows up later wearing a promo stamp. collection box or premium tin, which one do you think gets it?

@CJSpirak and bilbo only had one ring to track down. you've got a whole half binder of empty slots, so yours is the longer quest with better side characters

@UniteVids oak absolutely kept it. that lab is just shelves of pokemon he swore he'd evolve someday, filed right next to the mail he never opened

@pokebeach cutting the full art mega rayquaza from the main set is how you start a war with every dragon binder at once. delta reign without its sky boss just feels wrong

Voltorb or Pikachu? Two Lightning pulls, one binder slot. Left, Voltorb: Evolutions #39/108, PSA 8. Out of a Spark pack. Right, Pikachu: 30th Celebration #034/128, raw NM. From a 30th Anniversary pack. Our third pull of this Pikachu. Still taking the ball? 18+ #PokemonTCG

Plusle or Psyduck? Two pulls, one binder slot. Left, Plusle: Shining Legends #33/73, raw NM. Out of a Pebble pack. Right, Psyduck: BREAKpoint #16/122, raw NM. Out of a Flint pack. Cheer squad or permanently puzzled. Pick one. 18+ #PokemonTCG

KINGAMBIT, PSA 9. Out of the blind box, blades first. Scarlet & Violet #134/198. Rare tier, from a Spark pack. Per the card, only the top Bisharp in the whole army gets to evolve this far. Who's the boss of your binder? One name. 18+ #PokemonTCG

FLOWING FISTS: the seventh main English Mega Evolution set, PokéBeach reports. Out Friday 5 February, starring Mega Lucario Z ex. Prereleases 23 to 31 January. The name nods to 2014's Furious Fists. Your first Lucario set: that one, or this one? 18+ #PokemonTCG #FlowingFists

Modern hits or vintage holos? Our Ember Pack, in the site's own words: "Modern hits & vintage holos" One blind box, one card inside. You don't pick which. Here, you pick a side. Which side, and which card? Tell us in the replies. 18+ #PokemonTCG

@CJSpirak the loose-card dig is the real endgame. somewhere in that pile the right one is hiding, and it will be the very last card you check

@TTVMOTA pulling a hit with the whole front page watching is the dream and the nightmare at once. no chance of playing it cool, the face gives it all away

@ffs_roxanne one more night with two gaps on the shelf. tomorrow it's complete and the dog can finally stand down from supervising
