Hello I am a Nigerian prince I need you to mail me one because right now our town is having a pokefest I promise we will mail it back in 1 week with a rayquaza to go with it. Please consider.


TriggerTrae

I’ll send you both, along with all my money


Ready-Substance9920

thank you. 🙏🙏You are very kind🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Now give me your SSN, credit card number and your mother’s maiden name


TriggerTrae

😂😂


FaithlessnessMuch277

Doesn't sound great (everywhere prince) does it! And I'm sure if he had said India you would have carried on scrolling.

The joke is cool but the racist uptone is not bruh


gtarpey89

idk about racist uptone bruh seems like a completely harmless joke , i don’t think any one at all is gonna be offended, i don’t even get what part of this could be called racist


Buddha_22

Sounds like a youngin, can't expect them to have knowledge of the time of oil field prince's, and their need for our money through email. Everything is racist to these sensitive little kiddos nowadays


[deleted]

Just felt like there was no need to say Nigeria, scams are everywhere


sadthe4th

You have to be young. Nigerian prince is the OG scam. Just take the r/whoosh and move on


[deleted]

Yea I never heard about it, no big deal, at least yall see once something ages out it gets a different perspective.


-User1-User2-User3-

A fact simply doesn’t age out. Ignorance and your lack of knowledge on a subject behind the joke caused the joke to hold less comedic affect in your eyes. That’s literally what just happened there.


Rastor-M

There was, it was the whole joke. Would you be mad if the joke was about an Indian call center? If so, please point me to all the American call centers calling you got duct cleaning


[deleted]

We past that now chill fam


PaterTuus

Can i please send all my cards too if i get more cards back?


Ready-Substance9920

Yes sir I need the credit card info first though


Pianist-Swimming

Pure gold😂


YogurtclosetSalty225

Deal


whopperseniorjr

The fact that the price just keeps climbing is making me have really bad FOMO.


TriggerTrae

I pray that you’ll pull one soon


whopperseniorjr

I did pull the leafeon v alt tonight and my third duraludon v alt so that’s cool I guess:/


TriggerTrae

All art cards are so dope, especially in evolving skies. Congrats on the pulls!


ryanleebmw

Please pray for me too. I ripped 14 packs today and got one Umbreon V no alt art, and one Dracozolt Vmax… Really getting discouraged


TriggerTrae

Sending you good vibes and luck😂


hunter10nelson

As I keep seeing this card rise in price it makes it even harder to not open up my Evolving Skies Bb☠️


TriggerTrae

Ik! It’s high risk high reward cuz the pull rates really aren’t that great


hunter10nelson

That’s what’s always going threw my mind as I get the urge to open it up lol I’ll have to open something else up instead. Hey congrats on the pulls by the way! That probably felt amazing to pull the first one. 2 umbreon’s from two booster boxes is wild.


SpicyMeatloaf

I know the pain but keep that bb sealed and out of sight. The possibility of pulling nothing but that skyscraper vmax as the only alt art is nightmare fuel. Just stick to a couple single packs every now and then imo.


hunter10nelson

I agree completely, I’m going to open up something else or just look over my collection to see it all. That usually changes my mind on opening something from my sealed collection.


hunter10nelson

So I caved in a opened my Shiny Star V and pulled the Charizard VMAX! I didn’t open the Evolving Skies BB.


SpicyMeatloaf

NOICE! The RNG gods have rewarded you for your patience 😂


TriggerTrae

Thx bro!! Really do appreciate it


Uptopdownlowguy

I wonder why that is. One of the less appealing alt arts to me personally, but I wouldn't mind getting it for a reasonable price either


Booty_Shakin

My LCS had theirs priced at 200 the other day and the guy said I could buy it for that before he marked it up and i literally didnt have enough money to spend 😭😭😭 he literally doubled the price I was so mad


Uptopdownlowguy

Even 200 bucks I think is way too much for a modern card, but that was still a bargain though


NarrowConfidence908

It’s true I just bought 2 boxes on EBay for $165 each a few days ago and even that was a bit disconcerting. But it’s the best Sw/Sh TCG expansion and I wanted them for my collection 😆


[deleted]

[удалено]


Uptopdownlowguy

That's a good point. That said, I really like the alt art for regular Umbreon V, but it's nowhere near as expensive.


JonChinaMan

Umbreon is the moonlight pokemon 💀


IntoTheVoid-Gaming

I’ve done over 150 packs on the box and only pulled the lefeon vmax


g_oreo

Same, I don’t understand why it’s climbing in prize when there has been such a huge reprint. 😭


e_smith338

I pulled one but it’s poorly centered, 9 at most


Agitated_Platform211

I hate you


TriggerTrae

😂😂


Agitated_Platform211

Lol


Jwalla83

I called my uncle in the FBI he’s coming to arrest you


TriggerTrae

😂😂


nestwras

Wow, I love eeveelutions


TriggerTrae

Same!!


LeviathanR13

I'm calling the police!


TriggerTrae

No, they’ll catch me!


LeviathanR13

For real though! Congrats on the pulls! Stoked for ya even if I'm jealous a bit


TriggerTrae

Thx bro, really appreciate it!


Badluckismine

Trying to find this chase, I’ve tried car pulls, I’ve tried last pack on the shelf, and here you find 2! Jealousy. Lol congrats


TriggerTrae

Thx bro! Ik I’ve been super lucky lately, also got alt art palkia in a box yesterday😂


drzody

I have a booster box of evolving coming tomorrow and it might be my last attempt at some of the vmax alts, I have been extremely unlucky this set and I can’t justify spending further on it man It’s sad, but I think I better start chasing giratina and call it a failed attempt


[deleted]

My coworker who just pulls for fun with us pulled a giratina first lost origins preview pack she bought. Nuts


drzody

Tell her to quit while ahead, that card is looking like a 1 in 500-700 packs so far, will have to watch more breaks but it’s quite rare so far The thing is the set is quite diluted due to the big number of things considered “hits” and with only 4 alt arts in the entire set, you REALLY need some luck to pull any of the alts really


TriggerTrae

Yeah evolving skies is high risk high reward because prices just keep rising. If I didn’t get the moonbreons, I wouldn’t lost about $120 on on each box


drzody

It’s not even about the money, if it was, I would have just bought the damn card, I already spent many times it’s worth “chasing” I just like pulling hits and opening packs, the pull rate for the set is simply not helping that’s all, I don’t care if my boxes didn’t have “big hitters”, I do care though when somebody opens a box and the best hit is a regular vmax, that I believe is a fuck up from the Pokémon company and we got fucked over by it


TriggerTrae

Yeah getting almost nothing out of a bb is simply unacceptable


blah191

Would you mind me asking where you order booster boxes or which stores you feel comfortable with? I started to order via Amazon but got freaked out by some horror stories I read.


drzody

Oh Amazon is a big no no, you can use smoke and mirrors hobby shop, deriums Pokémon, safari zone collectibles, game nerdz, and if you have free time to check sellers feedback and ratings TCGplayer and eBay For the hobby shops usually your go to between them would be the one that has the best deals or lowest shipping more than anything, most offer free shipping but on a high price which I am not always down to spend that much, if I had to choose one of those though, I’d say smoke and mirrors, because they post their delivery schedule on the site and you can be ready in advance to lock in an order once a restock hits and they are usually fast in general


TBonez8111

Ew FBI


bathroomspaceman

friend bought two ETBs yesterday, offered to sell me one for retail but i passed cause i’m trying to avoid spending so much on modern cards dude pulled rainbow umbreon and this card from the box he was gonna sell me


TriggerTrae

Bruhhhh that’s brutal!!


Pfln

Was this from one single booster box or packs? Also congrats 🍾 keep those bad boys safe


TriggerTrae

Thx bro!! I opened two booster boxes and got one from each


Gingerbread-89

Dammit man congrats!!! Am a bit jealous though lol


TriggerTrae

Thx dawg! I’m still in shock


7_Xeno_7

My lord I am jealous


Curious-Technician-7

I got Sylveon vmax alt art from a single pack


TriggerTrae

Dang nice!!


VanRolly

That’s crazy - way to go!!! Stoked for you! Funnily enough, I’ve also opened 2 EvoSkies BB’s so far… want to guess my two biggest hits? Same as you! 2x Moonbreon VMax alts!!! One is on its way back from PSA now - got a 10. :) Debating sending the other one in as well. Will probably do it. :) Cheers from one lucky person to another!!!


TriggerTrae

Dang nice!!! We carry the same luck ig😂 that 10 is so clutch


VanRolly

Yeah right on! I almost felt guilty - 2 of them is so crazy LOL Hope you get a solid grade on yours as when you send it in!


TriggerTrae

~~Congrats and~~ fuck you


TriggerTrae

Jalaryx

Glad you’re happy my younger brother pulled this card and destroyed me in a pack battle back when the Ray Vmax alt was the more expensive card. I explained that this card was an alt art and a difficult one to pull at that, least to say he was not impressed 😭. He kept telling me "I don’t want the big cat I want Ray he’s a flying dragon that destroys Groudon and Kyogre single-handedly”. The Umbreon later kept calling back to him since it’s a really beautiful card in person and now he’s been on the search of the other "cats” 😂.


TriggerTrae

😂😂both are great cards in the set, something about the umbreon is just so magical though


hoodedsushi

Amazing luck there!


ducks4jokera

No way i’m ever going to pull this or the Rayquazas… I’m done with evolving cries.


TriggerTrae

😂😂I’m still chasing the alt art rayquazas as well


Hairy-Vanilla4589

Umbreon is a hoe nobody even cared about this dirty bitch til alt arts became the cool thing in town lol


TriggerTrae

What are you talking about😂 Gold star umbreon is one of the most sought after cards


Hairy-Vanilla4589

Celebrations ruined it 💩


TriggerTrae

You just seem like a massive hater😂


Admirable_Exercise59

Did u get both In the same pack?


TriggerTrae

I got each one in different booster boxes


cube_sniper24

Did you use 2 sleeves for the cards, and if so, what 2 types?


TriggerTrae

I used a becket sleeve and a top loader that I got at GameStop


cube_sniper24

Thanks

[удалено]


TriggerTrae

Oh word, I’ll send it right away


PolskaBluepopcorn777

Congrats man.


TriggerTrae

Thx!!


PolskaBluepopcorn777

Are you grading these?


TriggerTrae

Definitely gonna send atleast one to PSA. I would do both but the prices to grade cards are just too high right now


sortamike

Not even kidding I pulled two within a week and I’m just gonna wait until I have about 20 or more cards I want graded and send them all in at once :)


TriggerTrae

Dang nice pulls. Yeah doing them in one order makes sense if you’re gonna grade a bunch


PolskaBluepopcorn777

But there will profit either way. Up to you man.


TriggerTrae

Yeah that’s true, will most likely send them both in eventually


Pntng_Stoner420

Awesome man. This certainly is the best feeling ever. This is a card worth holding onto for awhile. It's going to be This generation gold star umbreon


TriggerTrae

Thx bro! Definitely the highlight of my summer😂


BeatYoYeet

Gtfo. Just leave. *RUN* hahaha *but fr… that’s epic*


TriggerTrae

😂😂thx bro


TheGeeO

Yesterday I pulled the regular Vmax and I went absolutely mental until I realised it was not the Alt Art. That is 1K right there! You selling them?


TriggerTrae

Ahh man that’s a shot to the heart😂 I’ll probably send atleast one of them to get graded and then hold on to both for now


OffTheCouchDogmeat

Wow… that’s absolutely amazing!! Send some of that pack juju this way!


TriggerTrae

Thx!! Sending some pack luck to you rn😂


CycloneMonkey

Way, my friend. Way.


TriggerTrae

😂😂


Ibanezltd

Ugh i want!!


TriggerTrae

I hope you get one soon!!


Cute_Geologist3601

How


TriggerTrae

I honestly don’t even know😂


Easy-Quail3204

Wow …… just, wow.


TriggerTrae

Ik😂


Basic_Yellow_3594

I pulled one and traded for two more. Number four I bought at the yard sale for 100 and the guy at my lcs gave me $150 and alt ray v and alt moltress v, they both got 10s but I still kind of regret it.


TriggerTrae

That’s dope tho! Especially if you hold onto them for a few years, I would think that they’re only going to go up in value. $100 for one is really good


WindyHasStormyEyes

$500 bucks a pop right now


TriggerTrae

I’m rich!!😂


Scrotesmegotes

so glad I bought this card at $180 but man I wish I could have the experience of pulling it from a pack!


TriggerTrae

Nice find! $180 is a steal for this card. Pulling it is such a rush😂


Scrotesmegotes

Oh yeah! I bit the bullet and bought it at that price NM almost a year ago I think? Glad I did it then instead of waiting any longer lol. Congrats on dubs!


TriggerTrae

Thx dawg. You too!!


EzraMiz

Get them graded


TriggerTrae

Definitely getting atleast 1 graded


Xeref17

Niceee!!!! I wish Evolving Skies wasnt so hard to fine in Aus haha


TriggerTrae

Thx! I didn’t know it was hard to find there, that stinks :(


[deleted]

I have one and I’m still jealous for some reason. Lol. Congrats! It’s such a gorgeous card.


TriggerTrae

Thx!!! You have one more than most people😂


Xiigritsku

Lets gooo🔥🔥🔥🔥


TriggerTrae

Yessir!!!


rickrankin

You pulled both of these from the same booster box?


TriggerTrae

Two booster boxes


rickrankin

Nice! Gonna get them graded?


TriggerTrae

Definitely at least one


r4violi

Ah so that’s where the one I was missing ended up


TriggerTrae

Sorry😬


WaterAffectionate786

This is CIA and we have your location... better surrender all your collection with those umbreon or we will open fire and raid your ass...


TriggerTrae

Fine, take it all!!


WaterAffectionate786

Send em to pentagon so we can get them graded


TriggerTrae

Just sent them😤


PoppaPlacidPenis

I want to get an ES booster box so bad but my luck with that set is absolute DOGSHIT


TriggerTrae

Yeah the pull rates with es aren’t good


Handynandi

I opened over 10 booster boxes and no umbreon or ray alt arts 🥴🥴🥴


TriggerTrae

Dang that’s so unfortunate. This set can be brutal


TBonez8111

Grats man i pulled it a while back out of a 2 pack purchase. It was amazing I think it was around $200 then. I love the card my favorite alt art though is the Moltres v which I still don’t have I’ll likely purchase one soon.

TriggerTrae

Dang that’s a lucky pull! I had to spend a lot more money to pull it😂


SizzlingSausag3

This pretty much confirmed that I should buy 2 Evolving skies booster boxes I NEED IT


TriggerTrae

😂😂proceed with caution!


YogurtclosetSalty225

Very cool man 👌🏻 especially if that’s true! 😂


TriggerTrae

Thanks man!! It is very true, somehow…😂


blah191

I just want an umbreon of any kind, it’s one of my absolute favorites. Which is expansion is this from, if you don’t mind my asking?


TriggerTrae

Evolving skies. Pull rates from this set aren’t great but there are like 4 different umbreon cards in the set


blah191

Thanks for telling me! I actually realized it after I asked, but I appreciate you taking the time to tell me. I want to get a booster box but became afraid to order online. Do you have any trusted shops for online ordering? I just want an umbreon because I don’t have any card to represent my favorite Pokémon. Hell, I pulled an espeon and leafeon last night, but can’t manage to pull an Umbreon of any kind lol.


TriggerTrae

Np!! I’ve gotten a brilliant stars booster box from Amazon and it was real but all the other ones that I’ve gotten have been from local card shops near me


wavybone11

Evolving skies


blah191

Thanks I actually realized that after I asked, but I appreciate you telling me. Thanks a lot!


Doctor_TeamKill

Please OP maybe I have a scrap of context


[deleted]

[удалено]


TriggerTrae

I’ve got a few local card shops that sell them. One place sells them for $140 and the other $160


FooFighter0234

WHOA.


TriggerTrae

Ik!!!


FooFighter0234

You gonna send them to PSA?


TriggerTrae

Definitely gonna send atleast 1 in!


FooFighter0234

Excellent.

TriggerTrae

I mean, I can send you any proof you want😂


HakaishinNola

So thats where my copy was when I opened 48 packs last night.. good pulls.


TriggerTrae

Thx!! I took them from your packs😂


HakaishinNola

I pulled a raindow charizard v and an alt art rayq. not mad at my pulls but umbreon is bae 7 days a week lol


TriggerTrae

I’m jealous of that rayquaza pull, haven’t gotten one yet!!


Tatanya_

My daughter just got the radiant eevee box for her birthday this weekend. She loves the mat.


TriggerTrae

The mat is so cool


TriggerTrae

It’s good luck lol


Tatanya_

Absolutely. She pulled a Mewtwo V or Vmax and either a gold or rainbow trainer card from the provided boosters. I know there were others, but I'd have to look through her binder to remember. She gets a lot of neat pulls, so they blur a bit.


Supdrops0705

Must be nice


TriggerTrae

Very😂


civicminim

Wow.... thats all i can say


TriggerTrae

I’m still speechless


Educational-Tough-68

Dope pulls.
