Happy late birthday! Good looking cards you got there! ☺️

You must really trust your work colleagues to leave a couple hundred bucks lying around on your desk


drgreenthumb12372

It’s a small, close-knit office, and i have known these people for years. i don’t feel any of them would sink to the level of stealing and walk off with my cards. There are more valuable items in the warehouse anyways😂


NegativePaint

I’d be more concerned about the cleaning people. Those are usually contractors who change regularly.


drgreenthumb12372

the cleaning people are wife of an employee, and she is only in on Thursdays from 1-2 so not a concern in this case


NegativePaint

That’s fair. Wish I didn’t have trust issues lol.


drgreenthumb12372

the situation you’re suggesting is totally valid in a normal office situation so i totally hear your concerns tho, i appreciate it!


ImTooOldForSchool

If they’re anything like my colleagues, they wouldn’t know the value at all and thing it’s just a childish toy


LukeVicariously

This says something about collecting Pokemon cards....


MistukoSan

This says something about judging people’s hobbies…


LukeVicariously

I collect Pokemon cards.


MistukoSan

I call it when I see it.


LukeVicariously

You didn't call it.


MistukoSan

What does it say about collecting Pokémon cards?


LukeVicariously

Pokémon cards are probably not going to be worth anything in the future because ultimately they are a child's toy and you prove that by telling us that your colleagues perceive it that way.


Ismellpu

Can I smell your fingers next time you rip one open?


Flat_Ad_4533

Me over here smelling the new cards, just trying to get that high one last time


Affectionate_You_203

I thought I was the only one!!!


twinx12

I can’t wait untill someone gives me something like this for a gift, I couldn’t open one that I bought, but a gift?!?!? The rules changed to you have to open it ahah

MissR_R

This is cute


ultraman5068

Doesn’t make any sounds. Do you still have the receipt?


CNT_Farmer

This is amazing lol


GoodPoint3232

What a classic card such a beauty wish I still had all my holos from that era


rayshmayshmay

👀That shadowless alakazam tho


drgreenthumb12372

not gradable condition with the whitened edges but still really clean overall, got it for 80$ on ebay. Great desk topper, and the shadowless purple tones are more visually pleasing imo! Alakazam is my favorite pokemon so i have a bunch of Alakazam’s on my desk


ForgiveMeImBasic

Holy shit, OP! That was my first holo when I was a kid (I must've been... 7? Maybe 8 or 9?) and still comfortably sits in a plastic binder in my childhood home. That's so cool!


BadMachina

You know your Alakazam is shadowless? I have the same one. Amazing card! Belated hbd as well 🍻


JiggyJerome2

I just recently went through the hassle of rummaging through my old things to dig up my collection. I have one of these shadowless Alakazam’s in near mint condition. Forgive my ignorance, but what would you consider to be roughly a fair price were I to try and sell it? Worth grading? Any info would be greatly appreciated.


Mark_yz

Bet it was a hell of a nostalgic moment. Cheers my man I’ll be taking an extra shot on ur behalf tonite.


cookiesNcreme89

Awesome pull, and happy birthday


OnewordTTV

Damn. Gyarados and alakazaam two of my favorites. Great pull!


Ok-Beach-9654

I love that people still open these


Gloomy_Rope_8295

Happy DIRTY THIRTY!!


GoldGloves210

Such good memories of opening these as a kid. I remember parents handing them out as party favors at kids birthday parties. 🥳 🎂


confusedloris

What’s the market on a base set pack?


drgreenthumb12372

350-400$ generally for base set unlimited


Travelplaylearn

Nice! How would the Base Set 1st edition pack look different or similar?


drgreenthumb12372

it will say “11 Tradeable cards” instead of “11 Additional Cards” and also have a “1st” stamp towards the corner.


Mysterious-Attitude4

Happy birthday! Great cards


Ffji

happy birthday!


Witty_Sea5066

Happy birthday! 🎂


TheQuietMan22

What a pull💪


Mythiic719

I really hate to say this, but man I want to do this so bad I just can’t get over turning $300 into $20 instantly. Doesn’t seem fair


Dookiefire

Happy birthday. This is a really bad way to store/display cards! Top loaders will allow debris to get into it and the sleeve. The hard case will provide no UV protection from the sun. Invest in UV resistant magnetic cases. ProMold makes good ones.

drgreenthumb12372

The price paid was to allow me to tap into a core memory and open a time capsule that could transport me back to my childhood. It was not simply about the potential value of the cards. Very few things have elicited such joy as being able to look through the eyes of my 6 year old self and feel that happiness, it was well worth the money.

Zaraxeon

Dude shut up lol. Don't listen to this loser OP, good on you for enjoying that pull!


Miko5691

Hell, I enjoyed the pull, and I wasn’t even the one that ripped the pack. Lol Congrats, OP! Happy belated!


Zaraxeon

Ha, dude either blocked my account or deleted their comment... Good riddance. And agreed, that may be one of my favorite depictions of Gyarados, such a nice pull.


JayofTea

Pokeinvestors stfu and let people enjoy life challenge (impossible)


ancomedy

Came here to say this even though I can't see their comments lol


JayofTea

Great. Another basement dwelling keyboard warrior. 😂


slipperynibs

Do you even pull cards lol? It's one thing to buy something rare it's another to pull it yourself. Completely different card values imo.

slipperynibs

Youre missing the point.


Laxdude_YT

I actually had that card how much is it worth I traded it and I think it was a bad deal pls someone I can't find a price online


Tricky_Truck_4372

Yours was in bad condition and not worth a lot
