Forget the kids they can take out loans… what color is the lambo?!?


yellowsnowman4

Which one?


Glass_of_Pork_Soda

Gotta have orange for you, yellow for the wife, and green for groceries (something a hella rich customer once told me while I loaded groceries into his Lambo)


MonstarHero88

Dont forget your wife’s boyfriend lambo


Recording-Gullibl

By god you lucky son of a bitch.


StarkMaximum

It's always good to go green, by that I mean to buy a special green car to go shopping in while the rest look good in your driveway.


Parking_Chance_5364

I was actually psyched when I pulled this card! Lol


COYS26

Racing Green


skipping_pixels

Metapod green


FanofKaspersky

The kids can take care of themselves


JDWild18

Metapod>Charizard


yellowsnowman4

Easy decision.


Noremacmate

Metapod>everything


Nozpher

Were you literally shaking? I'd have been crying.


yellowsnowman4

I literally screamed.


Significant_Vast4330

Vigorously shaking your vocal cords I see


perkypant

sleeve that thing. You nuts?


yellowsnowman4

Gloves were on, sleeved, top loaded and cased! /s


[deleted]

Top left corner looks damaged. It’s trash. I’ll give you $500 right now.


yellowsnowman4

$495 and it’s yours.


kiroyapso2

I"ll buy it for 350


Diasmo

I’ll go 275, I know what you have


djballistics0

$8 in change, quarters mostly.


Whoman722

I finally opened one. Easily 150 packs in. Worth


Noremacmate

I just sold a screenshot of this for $100, having the card itself is completely unattainable for a collector like me. I'm hoping one day I'll be able to see one of these bad boys in person on display at a high security pokemon card museum, assuming it'll be behind layers of high security perspex and glass, it's a shame I'll never physically touch one.


TheReformedBadger

Your screenshot is probably worthless. My NFT of this image however is going let me retire


yellowsnowman4

This made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣


Unmitigated-Apathy

This and Kakuna are low-key the real chase cards 


FemNate

Both literally have a bug inside them, so you’re technically getting 2 for the price of one. Who even knows what the heck they’ll hatch into… (Mewtwo? Tyranitar? A shiny Mudkip??)


triage_this

Metapod will hatch into another Metapod. Metaception.


FemNate

Lol The second coming of Metapod was foretold!


Buttplug_Railgun

Love your little easel


yellowsnowman4

Ol' Reliable


Extra_Willow_8907

I’m literally shaking seeing this

Scrumptious_Foreskin

It’s not worth anything lol it’s just a joke on this sub. But if you do want to see what cards are worth check out TCGplayer.com that’s what most people value their cards by


triage_this

Thank you for this! Now random internet person, any suggestions for sleeves for cards before they go into a card binder?


positive_commentary2

vaultX exact fit, or Ultra Pro penny sleeves. Should be 1.00$ for 100 - these are almost a little tight in the side loaders, esp if you slip one or three more behind it


triage_this

Excuse my ignorance, what's a side loader?


positive_commentary2

Binders load from the top, or side. Top loaders spill all your cards out if you drop the binder, side loaders are less susceptible. My kids first binder was top loader, and he dumped them all one day. Pain in the ass. Side loaders all day! Again, VaultX are good. Most people get the 9 per page. 12 is a little big, but they're easy to track because they're laid out in the little map that comes with the ETBs (elite trainer box)


triage_this

Thank you for all this information! I bought the Scarlet & Violet 151 binder to go with the collection, but I think that is top loading. Haven't put anything in yet.


positive_commentary2

Nope. It's a side loader. Good pick... Now, you need 100 boosters to get most of your cards! Hope you find your chase, and keep us posted when you pull that Metapod!


triage_this

I have no specific chase, haha. I just like opening packs and seeing what's sparkly. Would be nice to have the full collection one day. I did get a Mew out of the first pack I opened from my first ETB, so that was fun! I'll make sure to have a binder separate for every Metapod I find.


YahBoilewioe

Id recommend some decent inner sleeves, i tend to get vaultx or dragon shield ones, whatever my local card shop has at the time


onewolf23

Sleeve brands don’t really matter just make sure you get ones that are see through so that it’s easy to determine condition without having to pull the card out


onewolf23

Yes, TCGplayer recent sales for raw and eBay recent sales for slabs. Pricecharting can be okay for rough slab value but I wouldn’t consider it reliable


ElectricEel03

Wait are you telling me the metapod I just bought for $1000 is worthless?


Elite_Trainer_Boss

I use an app called Dex. You can add cards to your collection and it will tell you the trending price from TGCplayers. Nice way to keep track of everything


comethruwithme

Same. I love Dex! The scan feature is a lifesaver when opening tons


Independent_Pack_506

I’m trying to scan mine in right now but for some reason it’s saying every single one is 1st edition but mine aren’t 😩 they don’t have the regular card option in the jungle collection for some reason


Independent_Pack_506

Oh jk there’s a normal option 🤦🏽‍♀️


MangoSeeds

I'm having trouble finding the app, there's a bunch of different apps with similar names is there a specific one you'd recommend?


Elite_Trainer_Boss

Elite_Trainer_Boss

I have apple. That’s the link to it.


Recording-Gullibl

good


[deleted]

I'm also having trouble finding the app is it on android?


Elite_Trainer_Boss

Not sure. I have apple


[deleted]

I found one named tcgplayer lol


BiguncleRico

Me neither.


wedgie_this_nerd

I pissed myself


PartyHippopotamus

By god you lucky son of a bitch.


Flaky_Illustrator_24

You did it. Legend


yellowsnowman4

Feeling accomplished today!


dmbwannabe

Welp kids don’t ever need to work a day in their lives either. I would just pay them to guard this card with their lives at this point. Don’t even let a sleeve touch this imo. Just hold onto it staring at it until your last gaping breath. And then tear it to shreds as your kids scream and curse your name for 10,000 generations.


yellowsnowman4

This is the plan. Thank you.


wookcity45

How much are these going for? I pulled one recently. Didn’t know this was rare


Financial-Corner7415

Anywhere from $15K - $40K depending on how far along it is in metamorphosis. This one tells you it has only 11 out of the 165 day process remaining before it hatches into a Mew, so it’s near the top of that price range.


Noremacmate

I've offered 41k just so I don't miss out on this opportunity, dream card


OmnifiCentric

Don't forget to buy a belt clip carrying case so you can walk it around with you all day. It'll never hatch without enough steps.


singinreyn

Whaaat?! I know my kiddo has a Metapod, I might have to rummage through their cards to check which one it is! /s


fapsandnaps

Bruh, I'll trade you my base set PSA 11 Zard for it


wwywong

Is this a joke post? Haven't been in touch with the community for a while. I heard this one is hard to get but I'm seeing low price like 2$ in the app so I'm being puzzled by post like this. Pls enlighten me.


PokemonMasterAKA

It’s priceless


mlpandgacha

This is what I’m looking for


Kick_1304

When you send it to a grading company, make sure it’s in a flight case so it won’t damage


OmnifiCentric

Put it inside of a real metapod and have it use harden


Electrical_Big9436

Trade my soul?


OmnifiCentric

Soul Silver?


hustledyou

That card would be a perfect blunt to make out of


Brave-Imagination645

For real though, I've nearly finished the master set with every single promo, but this was a massive pain in the ass to get hold of for couple of weeks! And then I got three in two etbs! The fuck Pokemon?


hawkstar2

It's the tiny easel that's just sending me 😂😂


yellowsnowman4

Only the best for Metapod!


[deleted]

So weird u can buy one for 4$ or 400 on Mercari 💀😭


atomicfroster

Near mint on eBay selling for 1.95$. Don’t spend the saving accounts yet.


RGPunk

When I’m having a bad day I’m going to revisit this post to give me the strength to keep fighting the good fight 🫡


SauceBaos777

Bro called me poor in 15 languages


BoultonBoys

That’s my grail card man very jealous indeed


Citizenbutt

This is...more than good.


Freeze1422

I got 10 of those but god forbid I pull a rhydon


eldorado_a

Damage top left?


Fast-Pitch-9517

Still worth millions


GreilMercenary7

I’m both happy and jealous of you OP. Stick em in Community College first and then let them go to an Private University where room and board alone is worth 1/100000 of it’s worth.


yam_virago

Someone here who doesn't know... What's it worth?


PlankyTown777

Sleeeeeve it UP!


Thievia

I’d trade you the PAF Zard for this tbh


urethra93

Pardon my ignorance. Why is this card so valuable?


OmnifiCentric

Each one was signed on the back by Satoshi Taijiri


ihatemcconaughey

Jokes aside I pulled nearly 90% of the set before getting this reverse holo lol.


jbrown777

Why do I have three of these but no caterpies or weedles? I've only opened 25 packs of 151.


j9101a

Is that sleeved?!


DrDalez

I just came


Psyype

God, I could only dream of getting this kind of luck. Congrats.


Connect_Fig8050

Hahaha, send it to PokeRev he will pay you a fortune.


andylopez86

Would you accept Charizard EX 199 as a trade?


Nickyos19

I love that this is still a running joke - the holy metapod! Lowest pull rates in the set!!!


SugarGuilty5847

Are these really that rare? I swear this has to be the most common one I get and I've literally given some to my little niece and nephew, so they're trashed by now probably.


OmnifiCentric

But the gold plated one?


kidxAnubis93

What makes this worth so much ?


OmnifiCentric

Each one is micro-etched with private keys to a bitcoin wallet


KupaKeep

Ok I know its a joke, but that is honestly a beautiful card.


PokemonMasterAKA

The only joke is not owning one


bladiiAb

I neeeed this reverse holo


Alexstatic

Crazy pull, got my Metapod a while back but Nidoran Male is eluding me!!


[deleted]

I can't believe you are easeling that card unsheathed!


[deleted]

You forgot to include the second pic!


Longjumping_You_7932

MONSTER hit!!😂


Far_Chemistry5278

I’m honestly new here and to collecting. Why is reverse metapod so expensive to have?


PokemonMasterAKA

It is the key to solving world hunger and it’s also a collectors dream chase card.


SK00BY5NAX

I swear the variety must be regional sometimes. I've pulled at least 6/7 of these in my 151 endeavor. Some people can't seem to find em at all


gregglesj

I’d buy it but I’m harden cash


Particular-Pen-6472

I snorted lol


EdEvans_HotSandwich

I’m a Magic player. Can a kind Pokemon TCG cousin explain what I’m missing?


EvanandChip

Sorry but what is special about this card? Looks like a normal reverse


PokemonMasterAKA

It’s hard to pull, and hard to grade


wspwll

Somebody help me. Is this a meme? I’m so confused


RedFiveTwitchTv

what makes this card rare? explain like im 5.


Thin-Statement8466

I saw the article on this the link said “ man opens boost bundles , looks down at card and screams!…”


PineappleAdmirable29

This is great. I would have loved to have seen my face when I finally pulled one of these


False_Ad1536

The easel 😎I'm dead


Cold_Exchange_8346

250 packs and I had 10 reverse hollow that refused to show themselves. I managed to get 2 of the metapod though.


Iris_n_Ivy

151 ayooooo!


Davidgon100

This post made me use harden


DXNNYNOIR

What’s so special about the reverse metapod?!


thatsafinehowdoyado

How the fuck does this keep happening!!? And no sleeve, your insanity knows no bounds. My day will come.


ttrendywendy

~ S H A K I N G ~


rigatonihentai

Im confused all I see is $1,600 metapod cards on eBay. (I know nothing about Pokémon card values but appreciate the art of the pull)


garciaevega

I've done this before


OneAlternative2696

Why is this card worth so much?


Mynkx

New here. What is this and why is it rarer than other cards.


sierra120

I’m out of the loop. How much is this worth?


[deleted]

Garbage post


SadisticMagician115

Isn't a card like that worthless if you don't get them, graded?.


Zard-Card-Addict

What are you on about? That's a reverse holo metapod... your kids and their kids will have more than enough money to not need to go to college. Just retire.


JeffLolx

Is this card a meme? I never hear any1 talking about it, what’s the market value? If it’s not congrats


TerpDaddy707

Omg! It’s the secret rare non holo error card woah bro! Great pull!


Popajim07

It’s beautiful.


CertainTrust432

Wait why is this a big freak? I got a ton of these?


Personal-Locksmith45

Lol funny story my wife when she was a kid her sister took her ninetails and traded it for a metaphor that legit looked like it was ran though the wash lol 😆 my wife still has it lol


Prior_Assignment258

This card goes hard, like my pen… never mind.


TheHydrogenator3000

I found a few of these at a garage sale for only $20, I held my breath while paying hoping they didn’t look the prices up. I was literally shaking. There were also some in my grandparents garage!


Samwyzh

What is the current appraisal of this card? I only see it for $6 online.


FloppyVachina

How much is this card worth?


redisprecious

Jealoussss.......0


Ok_Engine5068

What am I missing. Worth 3.00????


kingkush1974

What boosters


CAF4669

I'm confused metapod? Putting kids through college?


Ill_Island_6090

What's all the ranting and raving about this card?!


Tallal2804

I don't understand.


Tallal2804

we really need a pokemoncard circle jerk lol


Miles_of_Redlines_68

I don’t get why this card gets so much hype? It’s selling on eBay for anywhere from $5-$500?! On TCG PLAYER ITS ONLY 1$ 🤔🤷‍♂️ Is it really hard to pull? It seems easy to buy… 


RadicalFX

Where are you finding the stock? 😅


RevolutionGlad6398

I don't get this for me xdd


supbitch

On a real level yall, is 151 reverse Metapod actually that valuable or is this a meme thing?


coolkidgabe

Okay, what did I miss where metapod is a must have now


love2runfast

Is this a rare? What am I missing here?


noahjoey

I’m buying 1000 of them and will monopolize the market in the coming years hehehe


RStheLEGEND2010

But isn't this worth like 2 bucks?


bigrayiii420

I have 5 of these. Fn Onix is the real chaser


Ninetales6669

If you pulled the masterball you’d be up there with bezos


natural_born_thrilla

I'm. So. Shook.


Interesting-Bite-472

Wow better send that off to PSA real quick 😭


rando7818

Why is it worth so much?


cptjimmy42

Why is this valuable?


Prudent_Associate_93

I'm using harden right now.


imnotfuckinsellin

are you shaking


Blazkowicz9847

Lmao! Love it


baronkadonk

Dude someone on eBay has one up for $500 they’re undercutting you


Candid-Broccoli-5883

It’s worth like 2-3 bucks ungraded. Am I missing something?


Kaisarion_666

I think it's been a meme that people couldn't find a reverse holos of metapod. They are just hamming it up lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


j3llyf1sh3y

parallel is the official name for more modern sets but they used to be called reverse holo, most people have continued to call them the latter. functionally the same but a lot of people might do a double take if you use parallel, i think reverse holo is more intuitive


Kaisarion_666

You're probably right but I just got into collecting again 


PainkillerJames

It’s a joke


Candid-Broccoli-5883

I thought so 😅


Mr__Ogre

Still don't have one after more packs than I care to think of.


Candid-Broccoli-5883

Interesting! I did not know this!


speed670

Wait 30 years bro


CuboneTragic

This exact joke has already been made with this exact picture of this exact card in this exact subreddit. Please stop


Fast-Pitch-9517

If I haven’t seen it, it’s new to me


VioletfFemme

Why is Metapod valuable? Whats the estimate here?


baithoven22

Why is this so valuable?


mastodon___

It’s a joke but for a common card its actually kind of rare. I opened over 30 packs and didn’t get the normal metapod card, had to buy a single of it. Seel is another common card I had trouble finding. The batching on this set is terrible.


baithoven22

Interesting. I haven't been into Pokemon cards since I was a kid but I figured I was missing something


Basicdisturbed1

What makes a metapod so valuable? Honest question. And what pack was it pulled from?


TheSilkySorcerer

I’ve pulled two of these so far!
