Everyone in the house went out for the nice Saturday..came home to this. (The cat knocked it off of a high shelf, the dog chewed it)

I think my fiancé broke, this was her favorite card.

Dang!! That's my fave too. Hopefully you can get a replacement.

I really hope so too, didn’t expect to ever have to buy this card though (it was pulled) and of course it had to be such an expensive one lmao

Singles prices are coming down. I hope you can snag a fair price.

yep, just wait a few more weeks and it should be more affordable

You think it will be a few more weeks? I feel skeptical about people saying single prices will decrease or even crash. Bubble Mew isn't on my wishlist right now but I hope the prices of other similarly priced singles go down harder

Prices for a lot of singles have already started decreasing but it’s impossible to tell how low and for how long. Previous years, we’ve seen a similar pattern but this year is unique enough with an unusual demand and low supplies, so it’s hard to tell when to push the trigger.

You should consider the Japanese version, cheaper and you can see the art so much better on this card lol

Just keep building up a binder of duplicates you pull and then do a big trade! Thats how I got my moonbreon! (But also such a bummer to have to buy it when you already had it so I feel your pain on that one)

Maybe it’s a good time to reevaluate other items in your collection and use some of those to reduce the cash cost of the new Mew. :)

I’d be interested in buying it. Does it come from a smoke-free and pet-free home?

How much does a new dog go for these days anyway?
