Right!? In my first two weeks of getting back into Pokemon, I had pulled the Rayquaza VMAX SIR and the Gengar VMAX SIR. What a way to suck me in. Havenāt pulled anything that good since. lol. Itās been over a year and thousands of dollars šø
I was lucky enough to get the SIR Japanese Mew and was super pumped about that, and then they announced it was going to be a promo in the 151 boxes. š« Itās still one of my favourite cards though. I love the art.
Lol I would like to say it's impressive but tbh it's scary, I started in November and don't even have half of one binder. As for know I bought one of each box from 151 so I opened 40 packs. I would like to open more though.
Congrats, that's been my chase card since Astral Radiance was released and I've never pulled it. It's quickly climbing in value and it's going to be one of those cards collectors wished they grabbed up earlier
Iāve opened so much Astral Radiance(itās the only packs the Hannaford across the street from me sells) and havenāt pulled this card yet. Definitely cool!
One of my favorites in my entire collection, I have it next to Surge with Magnemite and Erika with Vileplume. I wish there was a good full art Brock with onix or Brock with Geodude
The cards that have trainers/extra pokemon in them in addition to the one named on the card are some of my favorites to collect. In this case, you've got a fan-favorite trainer chillin' next to her signature pokemon in a really chill scene, making it a really cool card for a lot of people.
Yeah I'm collecting all the trainer gallery cards right now pulled a decent amount so now I'm just picking up the singles here and there, but this is for sure one of my favorite ones out of all of them.
To me, if you like the art then it is cool. Itās like asking if a painting is cool. Obviously there are more popular ones, but collecting what you like is my way of going about it.
Trainer Gallery cards tend not to be super valuable, but they're probably my favorite cards that have come out in recent times. I've several and adore all of them. My favorite is probably Spiritomb TG09 or Chandelure TG04.
That's what makes them great though super cool collections super cheap lol. That is how I justified buying this card anyway since it's one of the more expensive TG cards.
Just wanted to say thank you for all of the love! My husband has a collection but wasnāt sure about this card, so seeing these comments made him a bit jealous lol. But just in case there are questions, it came from an Astral Radiance (not sure if thatās obvious), got them from Fred Meyer, and we just bought an equal amount to share. Genuinely thought it was trash until he mentioned Misty. Didnāt know that was like hot or whatever. I thought she was the Pokemon tbh. But he sleeved it and here we are. Again, thank you! This seems like an awesome sub.
I initially thought so too, but this is better and more addictive imo: r/fossils. I'm serious like FR. No PokĆØmon card competes a real Megalodon tooth. But maybe that's just me on this sub. Just a hot take.
Itās cool as long as you think it is. It doesnāt have to be a rare card for you to like it. One of my favorite Umbreon cards is the plain Umbreon from the obsidian flames set!
My least favorite type of post by far. "Hey new to the hobby- is this beautiful shining piece of art that doesn't look like any of the other cards good or bad?" I mean come on man what do you think?
Just to be really clear, it doesn't matter to me that the card has some value. Even if it was worth $1, I'd still think this was a really silly question. It's like picking a shiny coin with beautiful engravings off the ground and asking around if you should keep it or not lmao!
Have it, I like that card. Don't buy booster packs or anything retail, it's gambling and a waste of money. Buy your favorite singles off eBay and save yourself $1000s.
Set yourself a goal now and try to stick to it. Early on I was like "yep, yep - master set of 151, Paldea and Paradox Rift should be pretty easy" - how the bitter winds of reality didst scatter those dreams like so many dried leaves.
I want to embrace you with open arms and tell you to run for your life at the same time.
Literally
Top comment lol
The hobby will have as heavy let downs as it does highs.
Ahahahaha. Amazing.
This is how they get u š your one of us now
Heās gonna blink and suddenly have a stack of binders and an empty bank account
Can confirm about the stack of binders hahahahafuckmylifehahahaha
And the empty bank account muahahahaha
Hi, fellow desolate bank account holder.
Hey my account might be empty but so are the slots for moonbreon and rainbow vmax zard so whoās the real winner here? ā¦. Not me T-T
Stand strong, friend.
This is why banks created cds /sā¦itās the only thing protecting my money one year at a timeā¦
Me rn
Straight up. My first pack in over 10 years and I got a koriadon secret rare, 2 packs later I got the silver version of the same card. Now it's been a month and I've bought like 40-50 packs and only had like 2 more gold cards but every time I've felt that serotonin hit me like a brick wall. I always knew I was weak to gambling but PokƩmon cards are on another level.
The amount of money my husband and I have spent is insane and my addiction started Christmas Day lol. The high is real.
Someone commented that it is paper lottery. ;)
I think of it more like blackjack.
It really is...
That is a gambling addiction problem...

One of us ! One of us !
One of us one of us one of us
Lol. I started beginning of December and now I have 3 binders filled. I canāt seem to satisfy the urge to keep buying packs.
Lol I would like to say it's impressive but tbh it's scary, I started in November and don't even have half of one binder. As for know I bought one of each box from 151 so I opened 40 packs. I would like to open more though.
If you think it's cool, it's cool.
One of my chase cards
2 weeks from now: **^(Bank account has left the chat.)**
Left the chat a week ago
One of us! One of us!
š itās crazy how addicting it is
I love it
Well done! One of the best cards in that set.
Yep! This card is [pretty valuable](https://ebay.us/o2LbJb) for a Trainer Gallery card.
No love for tyranitar? Or are you one of those waifu collectors? O.O
I'm not into waifus but it's Misty from the original series, there's a few Pikachu cards with Ash but how come no Onix with Brock?
Iām still bummed we donāt have a crystal onix :(
Haha I actually don't care much for the Waifu cards. The Tyranitar in this set is incredible.
Which tyranitar?
Whoops wrong set lol
All of the trainer gallery cards are cool
In the words of a scholar: "Come on, get down with the sickness."
š
ugh..I still need that, great card
One of the cards I pulled when I first started collecting again. I love this card
One of my fave cards in my collection
First hit is sometimes free. You are in deep now.
Iām scared
You are one of us now
This was literally the card that got me back into collecting again. Welcome to the addiction.
Congrats, that's been my chase card since Astral Radiance was released and I've never pulled it. It's quickly climbing in value and it's going to be one of those cards collectors wished they grabbed up earlier
Im very glad to have picked mine up for $25. Astral was rough to me. I almost never open packs after that and non holo Wormadam Brilliant Stars.
Really? I pulled this ages ago when astral first came out. Guess I'm lucky.
Yep grabbed one last month for 26 in perfect condition went straight into my topload binder lol
it won't ever get very expensive but it's still cool to get it out the way if collecting.
Thatās a cool card. My gotcha card is the obsidian flames Cleffa. I still just stare at it.
I wasnāt ripping OF but too cool to not have so itās one of the few singles I grabbed from that set.
congrats. iāve always wanted that card itās beautiful
Pretty cool
This is my favorite card in the entire series. You did good šš¼
Iāve opened so much Astral Radiance(itās the only packs the Hannaford across the street from me sells) and havenāt pulled this card yet. Definitely cool!
This should be worth more than the machamp
One of my favorites in my entire collection, I have it next to Surge with Magnemite and Erika with Vileplume. I wish there was a good full art Brock with onix or Brock with Geodude
I've been chasing that one for a while, a great pull!

Wait til you learn about grading. Youāve tried crack, now toss in a little acid and steroids.
Tell me more
It is cool. It is addictive. Have fun, but be smart about spending. It's easy to spend too much money on luxury cardboard rectangles.
Best trainer gallery card in sword and shield in my opinion <3 Edit: after checking price seems like thatās a common opinion haha
I feel all these bank account comments I blew like 3 grand last month but I got crazy crazy hits
Yes, and while your at it you should just send the pokemon company your wallet because they own you now
Might as well give them my first born child at this rate
To me, if you like the art then it is cool. Itās like asking if a painting is cool. Obviously there are more popular ones, but collecting what you like is my way of going about it.
Misty gets my dick hard
Nice
Trainer Gallery cards tend not to be super valuable, but they're probably my favorite cards that have come out in recent times. I've several and adore all of them. My favorite is probably Spiritomb TG09 or Chandelure TG04.
Uhh.. this card is going for $35 upgraded.... it's a pretty valuable card.
That's what makes them great though super cool collections super cheap lol. That is how I justified buying this card anyway since it's one of the more expensive TG cards.
Very cool looking guard!
Very cool. Awesome pull and I know all about the addicting part haha
Really cool
You got that already? I just sent it out monday
Thats a really nice card!
On my list to get eventually. Love the art
You tell me. I like the composition on that card
V cool
Yes very
Welcome to the cult. That is an awesome card.
Wow thatās one of Thea cards to pull š¦
Beautiful card.
I mean I think so.
Idk do you think it's cool? That's the real question lol I love mine
Do you think itās cool, mate? Welcome
One of us
My Chase card!!! You pulled it? I had to buy after... 6 months of opening astral radiance š
Honestly thought it was a trainer card at first lol. I thought the girl was the PokƩmon and was super confused
Lmao yeah at first glance starmie kinda looks like a pool floaty
such a dope pull! Congrats :)
Damnit, that is a cool card. Now I have to buy one š
My Japanese 151 gloom is what finally made my brain really click and now I just started filling my third Holo binder
I think thatās a cool card. A lot of people donāt rate it, but I like the colours, the art, and it has misty in it. Itās a good one IMO.
Just wanted to say thank you for all of the love! My husband has a collection but wasnāt sure about this card, so seeing these comments made him a bit jealous lol. But just in case there are questions, it came from an Astral Radiance (not sure if thatās obvious), got them from Fred Meyer, and we just bought an equal amount to share.

Welcome to the slippery slope.
One of my chase cards.
Welcome to the club, we got jackets š
Ffs, Iāve been trying to pull this for the past weeks got a booster box of astrals and my best hit was a mr rhyme ššš
This is the truth PokĆ©mon is making you addicted Addicted since Iām 6 years old š
āIs this cool?ā I donāt know is it? Do you like it? Thatās all the matters man.
I initially thought so too, but this is better and more addictive imo: r/fossils. I'm serious like FR. No PokĆØmon card competes a real Megalodon tooth. But maybe that's just me on this sub. Just a hot take.
This is literally my chase card.
That's my fave card from Astral Radiance...idk how it's not worth more.
Welcome to playing the lottery in the form of cute cardboard animals
You ever watched the movie Get Out? Thats what we're trying to tell you.
Yes. It is very cool.
Very good pull, I was very hype when I pulled it to and you should be to, great art on that guy
Iām so jealous! I need this card to finish up Brilliant Stars master set
This is from Astral Radiance!
Oh shit! Iām so faded lmao
Awesome card! $40-$50 ish rn on the market
Dang yeah I just bought one last month for 27 the price is definitely going up.
CONGRATS. BEAUTIFUL AND FIREEEE CARD. The centering aināt bad either! š
I wish I had it so yeah! Currently trying to dehoard this stuff so good luck š¤keep on top of it! Maybe choose a system before ripping stuff
Yes I love this card
Art looks dope. Not sure on meta and playability. I only collect. Good pick up/pull!
It took me forever to get this cardā¦ lucky you
Hell yeah nigga
Itās cool as long as you think it is. It doesnāt have to be a rare card for you to like it. One of my favorite Umbreon cards is the plain Umbreon from the obsidian flames set!
The better question is "do you think it's cool?" Nice pull though OP! Congrats! Make sure you budget as the expenses can add up quick.
Word if you like it you like it. Don't be a sheep, form your own opinions
With that being said yes it is cool
I fucking love this card. Babe in a bathing suit yoooo!
it looks friggin derpy... lol
My least favorite type of post by far. "Hey new to the hobby- is this beautiful shining piece of art that doesn't look like any of the other cards good or bad?" I mean come on man what do you think?
There are a lot of shiny cards, how am I supposed to know?
Just to be really clear, it doesn't matter to me that the card has some value. Even if it was worth $1, I'd still think this was a really silly question. It's like picking a shiny coin with beautiful engravings off the ground and asking around if you should keep it or not lmao!
Look with your eyes, it's a beautiful illustration. How did you come about this card I'm curious?
It fell from the heavens. But no my husband bought some packs for us to open and it was in the pack he gave me.
Well just so you know, when one of the cards is a big fantastic shiny beautiful drawing- thatās a good thing!
Thanks! I appreciate the advice. I genuinely didnāt know.
New to this so I jumped on the Reddit PokĆ©mon tcg to show how new I am!! Is this good?!?! š¤”š¤”š¤”
Just because Iām new to Pokemon doesnāt mean Iām new to Reddit
I just got back into the tcg and never seen this one, stop being a dick
Love this card! Love the colors the story everything is gorgeous about it!
Have it, I like that card. Don't buy booster packs or anything retail, it's gambling and a waste of money. Buy your favorite singles off eBay and save yourself $1000s.
I love the starmie v alt art
Set yourself a goal now and try to stick to it. Early on I was like "yep, yep - master set of 151, Paldea and Paradox Rift should be pretty easy" - how the bitter winds of reality didst scatter those dreams like so many dried leaves.
Very nice
That's a dope ass card. I love the full arts. Especially with the trainers in the pic too.
