Asked before to no answer: how do you display your collections in an enjoyable manner? There are a lot of high quality art cards by this point, but how does /tcc/ get beyond simply putting slabs or top loaders in boxes?

I was finally able to find an Ascended Heroes ETB for retail at Target today. Assholes didn't even put it out right away, they only put Perfect Order ETBs when they opened and only put Ascended Heroes out at 11am. Feels so good paying only $59.99 for this, it was the last one too and the guy behind me was so mad.

I put them in top loaders, stick them with double sided tape to a 6ftx3ft picture frame and display it on my wall. Forget binders, they're meant to be seen all the time!

>and display it on my wall
aren't you worried about the sun decoloring your cards?

>>59183938

gimme

Just bought prismatic ETB case for $1800. When will it be worth $5k?

>>59184273
how the fuck does that happen?
I bought a prismatic box (the one that has like 4 or 5 packs) last month for $40

>>59184286
ETBs probably just got their very last large print run. They corrected down for now but will easily double in price over the next year. Idk where all the money is coming from though.

>>59184339
sometimes I tell myself I should buy a perfect order ETB and just leave it there sealed
but I'd probably not gonna be able to hold myself from opening it
but maybe perfect order is not as insane as prismatic so it wouldn't be that expensive in the future

To perfect fit or not to perfect fit? That is the question.

Why are AH cards still so fucking expensive. Prick is $100 raw. Defies all logic

>>59184483
why would you not

What if it's too tight

10 years old is not modern. Furthermore even If I owned the Corocoro mew or the CD promo Charizard. They would not be in my top 10.

>>59184503
well then it isnt a perfect fit

>>59184555
you can barely see the font in this card lol
