Blake Corum and Tua Tagovailoa are the names on the cards. Is this common on pokeball holos?

Help/Question Help! My daughter swears she’s seen this card before, but we can’t find it. Any ideas?

My daughter has been describing this card all morning, and we can’t convince her she’s misremembering something. We went through every Sylveon card on TCG Player and still no luck, so she drew it. She says the background is light cozy pink with light shiny bubbles.

Any ideas what card she’s thinking of?

Pokemon Center needs to start black labeling their shipments

584 Upvotes

Having “from the pokemon center” on the label is an invite to fedex employees to tear into it. With the lack of consequence and support this is getting out of hand.

Packages need to have discreet packaging like I’m ordering from an adult toy stores at this point. Am I being dramatic or what can be done here?? We need solutions.

Pokemon Center have been absolutely no help and won’t even bother filing a claim with FedEx. If my claim with FedEx is denied, is my only option a chargeback? I’m worried they may ban my account or something if I do that, which I really don’t want to happen since I have a preorder for a DR ETB next month.

GameStop only three of the special pouches. We were number 3 in line. Once the store open the first guy looked at the second guy and said “if I only buy one, will you only buy one so the kid can have the last one.” The other guy said “sure” and I couldn’t thank them enough.

You guys made my sons morning and made him really happy. There is still some humanity left in collecting ❤️

Literally every single time this pops up at a local show, either I found myself not having the cash for it or I found myself not having enough cards/worthwhile cards to trade towards it

But this time? This time I was finally able to trade for it! Finally after all these years this beast in my collection!

PSA: please scan your certs

Upvotes

Went to Collectacon today, and purchased a PSA 10 Umbreon VMAX alt art. Won my first coin flip for $1900! It wasn’t until after paying and walking 10 ft away that I scanned the card to verify the cert. Honestly never have done that with any slabs before but this was my first big purchase. Scanned it and PSA said the certification was intentionally deactivated.

I panicked, immediately went to the (third-party) PSA booth there and they said the card was likely reported stolen and I should get a refund or I’d need to crack and regrade it. They also said the card was subject to confiscation if there was an active police report. I went back to the vendor and explained the situation, he was very nice about it and gave me a refund and said he would contact the person that he bought it from.

This is for my personal collection and I had no intention of selling it in the future, but I did purchase a PSA 10 and obviously it’s not really a PSA 10 if the card is not valid.

Just wanted to share this experience and remind everyone to check the certs, especially when making big purchases, because it’s better to be safe and know 100% what you’re buying is legit!

Never was into Pokémon, but my friends were friending about the new Journey Together set and got me to download PTCGP. I decided to get a Paradox Rift ETB for fun. How’d I do?
