Lucky Phantasmal Flames pulls

Just started to get back into Pokemon card collecting after my brother bought me some cards for Christmas. (I had a gen 1 collection in the 90s that my dad gave away while I was in college…it wasn’t a great collection but I still cherished my dragonite and blastoise holographic cards as a kid). Felt like a kid again when I got those cards my brother gifted me. Decided to master set the latest phantasmal flames release. I was worried about the two chase cards as I was not willing to pay $500 or $400 on a card. Did some pulls and wow!!! I managed to pull both from different booster packs I nearly passed out from excitement both times, Both are beautiful!!! I’m still kinda surprised the gold one isn’t as valued as the colored art card. I’m too excited so wanted to share. PS…when did poke card collecting become like stock investing??? I was so surprised at the prices when I started researching and surprised at how scarce/expensive booster packs are at local card dealers. But there are vending machines that sell packs and boxes now? There was one at my grocery store and the prices were unbelievably cheaper than buying from a retailer. I managed to get one booster box for $171. Booster bundles were only $26. Kicking myself for not getting those too. submitted by /u/jonKyu2 [link] [comments]
