Also forgot I picked this Expedition Dragonite up: https://i.imgur.com/oxpz7bi.jpg


Oh, and opened 2 of the build and battle packs for Lost Thunder that they use at the prereleases and pulled these 3 cards from the boosters in them: https://i.imgur.com/9fdOoGh.jpg

So there's a shop that literally just started a league this weekend that's closer to me than my other leagues. While attendance wasn't great, it's something the shop will be working on. They do already have a selection of Pokemon singles.

I picked up these from it: https://i.imgur.com/GtL3n7C.jpg

I also picked up a Charizard GX Premium collection while there, and I pulled a Sylveon GX from it: https://i.imgur.com/jkiOBS9.jpg

AAAAAH Man I love the Advanced gen cards so much! Delta Species still remains one of my mos favorite series to date!

Today I opened some new cards, I opened the Salamence GX box and also a Lost Thunder 3 pack blister. The 3 pack is my first time opening Lost Thunder.

The 3 pack contained the Adventure Bag secret rare. The Salamence had an Altaria Gx and a Victini prism card.

I haven't been opening cards much recently but I would definitely get a case if Pokemon decides to release the Ultra Shiny cards in English.

 

[Fairy]

holy shit congrats on the Gyarados, don! great find! n_n

 

[donavannj]

It was a bit of an unexpected find. I spotted several other cards in the rares binder of the store I found it in that I want to buy, but I'll have to piecemeal buy them at the prices they're at, lol.

Also picked up more singles from there this weekend. Rocket's Sneak Attack, Rocket's Hitmonchan, and the Southern Islands Mew:

And I opened up a Lost Thunder Elite Trainer Box as well. Full art Mina, Xerneas Prism Star, and Sceptile GX were pulled in it:

I didn't do much last night, but I did open a Lunala GX box. Pulled just a Jirachi Prism Star from the packs for anything above a normal rare, though.

[donavannj]

And tonight I opened a Forces of Nature GX box.

Pulled 3 GXes (1 Full Art) and a Prism Star in the 6 packs.

[donavannj]

Today's boxes were not nearly as good as the last couple of days.

Opened an Ultra Necrozma GX Collection: https://i.imgur.com/BwGQZ1R.jpg

Did pull 2 Blaziken which is nice. Not much else of interest, though.

Also opened up a Silvaly Figure Collection box and basically pulled nothing: https://i.imgur.com/yeowevD.jpg


Maybe tomorrow's boxes will be better.

 

[donavannj]

Whoops, thought I posted in here earlier.

Opened a Legends of Unova GX box. Pulled a full art Zinnia from it: https://i.imgur.com/OiMpM0N.jpg

Also opened a Legends of Johto GX box. Pulled a Darkrai Prism Star from it: https://i.imgur.com/yoDJ0t3.jpg

And apparently there are two different Island Guardian GX boxes. One with a Jumbo Tapu Fini GX, a Tapu Fini coin, and pins of each of the island deities, and one with a Jumbo Tapu Lele GX, a Tapu Lele coin, and a playmat with each of the island deities on it: https://i.imgur.com/1dPFjqK.jpg

From the Tapu Fini jumbo one, I pulled a secret rare Trainer's Mail and a Ninetales BREAK: https://i.imgur.com/pe2moXv.jpg

From the Tapu Lele jumbo one, I pulled a secret rare Energy Recycler: https://i.imgur.com/B7K3AFU.jpg

Opened some tins from Target for Black Friday, pulled another rainbow rare Lunala and a full art Guzzlord in addition to various gxs and exs.

 

[donavannj]

Opened a few more packs today.

One was the Pikachu & Eevee Poke Ball Collection, which does include a plastic Poke Ball and a Pikachu & Eevee figure. Pulled Lusamine Prism Star, Sigilyph GX, and my first copy of the Sturdy Donphan: https://i.imgur.com/S0CTAzT.jpg

The other was the Pikachu & Eevee TCG lunchbox thing. That has promos of the Kanto legendary bird trio and a few extras in addition to the 5 booster packs. Pulled a rainbow rare Pheromosa GX and a Full Art Umbreon GX from the packs: https://i.imgur.com/xFzl1ep.jpg

 

[donavannj]

And bought more singles at the shop again: https://i.imgur.com/87i6FZ6.jpg

Prize of the haul is the Rocket's Mewtwo.

 

[Maserati777]

Opened the rest of the tins and got an Umbreon GX full art and a Brock's Grit Full Art, probably have 7 of those now but only ever pulled 1 Misty.

 

[Fairy]

Okay so I don't *technically* own them yet but I just ordered a few singles and I'm super excited!!!

Spoiler:

 

[donavannj]

I wish that Sylveon card had a full art version of that art. I quite like it and think the pattern would look quite nice based on full arts like the Meloetta EX and the Full Art Emolga.

Opened the rest of the tins and got an Umbreon GX full art and a Brock's Grit Full Art, probably have 7 of those now but only ever pulled 1 Misty.

You ever gonna try flipping the excess Brock's Grit cards?

Personally, I'd probably hold onto them for a few years and wait until a later value spike because they'll have been out of print for several years at that point.
