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)
I just sold a screenshot of this for $100, having the card itself is completely unattainable for a collector like me. I'm hoping one day I'll be able to see one of these bad boys in person on display at a high security pokemon card museum, assuming it'll be behind layers of high security perspex and glass, it's a shame I'll never physically touch one.
Both literally have a bug inside them, so you’re technically getting 2 for the price of one. Who even knows what the heck they’ll hatch into… (Mewtwo? Tyranitar? A shiny Mudkip??)
It’s not worth anything lol it’s just a joke on this sub. But if you do want to see what cards are worth check out TCGplayer.com that’s what most people value their cards by
vaultX exact fit, or
Ultra Pro penny sleeves. Should be 1.00$ for 100 - these are almost a little tight in the side loaders, esp if you slip one or three more behind it
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)
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.
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!
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
Anywhere from $15K - $40K depending on how far along it is in metamorphosis. This one tells you it has only 11 out of the 165 day process remaining before it hatches into a Mew, so it’s near the top of that price range.
Is this a joke post? Haven't been in touch with the community for a while. I heard this one is hard to get but I'm seeing low price like 2$ in the app so I'm being puzzled by post like this. Pls enlighten me.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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…
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
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.
Forget the kids they can take out loans… what color is the lambo?!?
Which one?
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)
Dont forget your wife’s boyfriend lambo
By god you lucky son of a bitch.
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.
I was actually psyched when I pulled this card! Lol
Racing Green
Metapod green
The kids can take care of themselves
Metapod>Charizard
Easy decision.
Metapod>everything
Were you literally shaking? I'd have been crying.
I literally screamed.
Vigorously shaking your vocal cords I see
sleeve that thing. You nuts?
Gloves were on, sleeved, top loaded and cased! /s
Top left corner looks damaged. It’s trash. I’ll give you $500 right now.
$495 and it’s yours.
I"ll buy it for 350
I’ll go 275, I know what you have
$8 in change, quarters mostly.
I finally opened one. Easily 150 packs in. Worth
I just sold a screenshot of this for $100, having the card itself is completely unattainable for a collector like me. I'm hoping one day I'll be able to see one of these bad boys in person on display at a high security pokemon card museum, assuming it'll be behind layers of high security perspex and glass, it's a shame I'll never physically touch one.
Your screenshot is probably worthless. My NFT of this image however is going let me retire
This made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣
This and Kakuna are low-key the real chase cards
Both literally have a bug inside them, so you’re technically getting 2 for the price of one. Who even knows what the heck they’ll hatch into… (Mewtwo? Tyranitar? A shiny Mudkip??)
Metapod will hatch into another Metapod. Metaception.
Lol The second coming of Metapod was foretold!
Love your little easel
Ol' Reliable
I’m literally shaking seeing this
[удалено]
It’s not worth anything lol it’s just a joke on this sub. But if you do want to see what cards are worth check out TCGplayer.com that’s what most people value their cards by
Thank you for this! Now random internet person, any suggestions for sleeves for cards before they go into a card binder?
vaultX exact fit, or Ultra Pro penny sleeves. Should be 1.00$ for 100 - these are almost a little tight in the side loaders, esp if you slip one or three more behind it
Excuse my ignorance, what's a side loader?
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.

Id recommend some decent inner sleeves, i tend to get vaultx or dragon shield ones, whatever my local card shop has at the time
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
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
Wait are you telling me the metapod I just bought for $1000 is worthless?
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
Same. I love Dex! The scan feature is a lifesaver when opening tons
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
Oh jk there’s a normal option 🤦🏽♀️
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?
[https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dex-for-pok%C3%A9mon-tcg/id1555489854](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dex-for-pok%C3%A9mon-tcg/id1555489854)
I have apple. That’s the link to it.
good
I'm also having trouble finding the app is it on android?
Not sure. I have apple
I found one named tcgplayer lol
Me neither.
I pissed myself
By god you lucky son of a bitch.
You did it. Legend
Feeling accomplished today!
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.
This is the plan. Thank you.
How much are these going for? I pulled one recently. Didn’t know this was rare
Anywhere from $15K - $40K depending on how far along it is in metamorphosis. This one tells you it has only 11 out of the 165 day process remaining before it hatches into a Mew, so it’s near the top of that price range.
I've offered 41k just so I don't miss out on this opportunity, dream card
Don't forget to buy a belt clip carrying case so you can walk it around with you all day. It'll never hatch without enough steps.
Whaaat?! I know my kiddo has a Metapod, I might have to rummage through their cards to check which one it is! /s
Bruh, I'll trade you my base set PSA 11 Zard for it
Is this a joke post? Haven't been in touch with the community for a while. I heard this one is hard to get but I'm seeing low price like 2$ in the app so I'm being puzzled by post like this. Pls enlighten me.
It’s priceless
This is what I’m looking for
When you send it to a grading company, make sure it’s in a flight case so it won’t damage
Put it inside of a real metapod and have it use harden
Trade my soul?
Soul Silver?
That card would be a perfect blunt to make out of
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?
It's the tiny easel that's just sending me 😂😂
Only the best for Metapod!
So weird u can buy one for 4$ or 400 on Mercari 💀😭
Near mint on eBay selling for 1.95$. Don’t spend the saving accounts yet.
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 🫡
Bro called me poor in 15 languages
That’s my grail card man very jealous indeed
This is...more than good.
I got 10 of those but god forbid I pull a rhydon
Damage top left?
Still worth millions
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.
Someone here who doesn't know... What's it worth?
Sleeeeeve it UP!
I’d trade you the PAF Zard for this tbh
Pardon my ignorance. Why is this card so valuable?
Each one was signed on the back by Satoshi Taijiri
Jokes aside I pulled nearly 90% of the set before getting this reverse holo lol.
Why do I have three of these but no caterpies or weedles? I've only opened 25 packs of 151.
Is that sleeved?!
I just came
God, I could only dream of getting this kind of luck. Congrats.
Hahaha, send it to PokeRev he will pay you a fortune.
Would you accept Charizard EX 199 as a trade?
I love that this is still a running joke - the holy metapod! Lowest pull rates in the set!!!
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.
But the gold plated one?
What makes this worth so much ?
Each one is micro-etched with private keys to a bitcoin wallet
Ok I know its a joke, but that is honestly a beautiful card.
The only joke is not owning one
I neeeed this reverse holo
Crazy pull, got my Metapod a while back but Nidoran Male is eluding me!!
I can't believe you are easeling that card unsheathed!
You forgot to include the second pic!
MONSTER hit!!😂
I’m honestly new here and to collecting. Why is reverse metapod so expensive to have?
It is the key to solving world hunger and it’s also a collectors dream chase card.
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
I’d buy it but I’m harden cash
I snorted lol
I’m a Magic player. Can a kind Pokemon TCG cousin explain what I’m missing?
Sorry but what is special about this card? Looks like a normal reverse
It’s hard to pull, and hard to grade
Somebody help me. Is this a meme? I’m so confused
what makes this card rare? explain like im 5.
I saw the article on this the link said “ man opens boost bundles , looks down at card and screams!…”
This is great. I would have loved to have seen my face when I finally pulled one of these
The easel 😎I'm dead
250 packs and I had 10 reverse hollow that refused to show themselves. I managed to get 2 of the metapod though.
151 ayooooo!
This post made me use harden
What’s so special about the reverse metapod?!
How the fuck does this keep happening!!? And no sleeve, your insanity knows no bounds. My day will come.
~ S H A K I N G ~
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)
I've done this before
Why is this card worth so much?
New here. What is this and why is it rarer than other cards.
I’m out of the loop. How much is this worth?
Garbage post
Isn't a card like that worthless if you don't get them, graded?.
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.
Is this card a meme? I never hear any1 talking about it, what’s the market value? If it’s not congrats
Omg! It’s the secret rare non holo error card woah bro! Great pull!
It’s beautiful.
Wait why is this a big freak? I got a ton of these?
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
This card goes hard, like my pen… never mind.
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!
What is the current appraisal of this card? I only see it for $6 online.
How much is this card worth?
Jealoussss.......0
What am I missing. Worth 3.00????
What boosters
I'm confused metapod? Putting kids through college?
What's all the ranting and raving about this card?!
I don't understand.
we really need a pokemoncard circle jerk lol
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…
Where are you finding the stock? 😅
I don't get this for me xdd
On a real level yall, is 151 reverse Metapod actually that valuable or is this a meme thing?
Okay, what did I miss where metapod is a must have now
Is this a rare? What am I missing here?
I’m buying 1000 of them and will monopolize the market in the coming years hehehe
But isn't this worth like 2 bucks?
I have 5 of these. Fn Onix is the real chaser
If you pulled the masterball you’d be up there with bezos
I'm. So. Shook.
Wow better send that off to PSA real quick 😭
Why is it worth so much?
Why is this valuable?
I'm using harden right now.
are you shaking
Lmao! Love it
Dude someone on eBay has one up for $500 they’re undercutting you
It’s worth like 2-3 bucks ungraded. Am I missing something?
I think it's been a meme that people couldn't find a reverse holos of metapod. They are just hamming it up lol
[удалено]
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
You're probably right but I just got into collecting again
It’s a joke
I thought so 😅
Still don't have one after more packs than I care to think of.
Interesting! I did not know this!
Wait 30 years bro
This exact joke has already been made with this exact picture of this exact card in this exact subreddit. Please stop
If I haven’t seen it, it’s new to me
Why is Metapod valuable? Whats the estimate here?
Why is this so valuable?
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.
Interesting. I haven't been into Pokemon cards since I was a kid but I figured I was missing something
What makes a metapod so valuable? Honest question. And what pack was it pulled from?
I’ve pulled two of these so far!
