Hold It or Rip It? Phantasmal Flames Monday - Episode 8
This Phantasmal Flames booster box is testing our patience 😂

The hunt for the Mega Hyper Rare Charizard X EX continues, and every pack feels like it could completely change the episode.

That’s the fun — and pain — of chasing one card.

Sometimes the hobby gives you exactly what you want.
Sometimes it makes you question every decision that led you here.

👇 What’s the longest you’ve ever chased one Pokémon card?

Collectors helping collectors 🤝 Hold It or Rip It? Ep. 7

Today’s Hold It or Rip It episode is a little different — we’re opening an Ascended Heroes Booster Bundle while talking about real strategies collectors use to find Pokémon cards at MSRP.

From learning restock patterns… to checking overlooked stores… to simply building respectful relationships within the community — sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference.

The hobby is always better when people work together instead of against each other.

What’s YOUR best restock strategy or craziest MSRP find?

👇 Drop it below and help another collector out.

Hold It Or Rip It? - Episode 4 - Phantasmal Flames Monday - Booster Bundle

My 1999 Zards vs. 2026 Packs! 🔥

When you wish it was 1999... again...

I’m pulling out some of the childhood collection today! 27 years ago, I was lucky enough to land these O.G. Zards, but can we find anything in this modern Phantasmal Flames Booster Bundle that even comes close?

Today we're ripping 6 packs to see if the "Family Zard" is actually in here, or if my luck peaked in the 90s.

Help me decide: These OG cards have been in these cases since I was a kid. Should I finally send them off to be graded, or is the "Binder Collection" vibe too classic to break? I’m genuinely torn on this one.

I want to hear about your "Childhood Grail." What is the one card you pulled as a kid that you will NEVER sell? (And do you still have it?!)

We've changed our store to Event and Appointments - only - for now. We're working on some MAGNIFICENT things we think you'll love - more on that soon!! But we refuse to sell merchandise at rip off prices. We're currently working our hardest to ensure that we can get anchor merchandise fans of the hobby space care about at REASONABLE rates.

Until then, we will focus on community driven Events.

-Want to host a MTG night in Saugerties? Reach out!
-Want to host a One Piece night in Saugerties? Reach out!
-Want to host a TCG trading session? Reach out!
-Want Craig to personally examine your collection and help you determine your best course of action (grade it/sell it/hold it?). I will be glad to arrange an appointment and do my best to help you.

The community is our store and the store is our community.

Community is greater than everything else and we will do our best to make sure we have a fair, equitable, and fun community safe space.
