Solosis IR (118/086 Black Bolt) aka Bo**er Mew

What started as a funny nickname turned into a price pump frenzy:

Once a $10-15 card, it shot up to $70+ overnight after hype posts.

Why the name? Fans say the art + vibes echo past high value favorites like Bubble Mew. And now, flippers are running wild.

If you own one, congrats.

If you’re chasing at $80+, beware.... meme pumps crash harder than a crit hit from Mewtwo.

Would you buy the hype or let Bo**er Mew float back down? 👇

🚨 PSA Update for Comic Collectors! 🚨

PSA just rolled out autograph grading for comics & magazines, so now you can get both the book + signature authenticated/graded together.

Quick Facts:
1) Services start at $50.99
2) Includes a new gold label for dual grades (ex: PSA 10 / AUTO 10).

This is a great deal to no longer have separate sig authentication and still have the PSA name behind it.

Do you think this could push up the market for signed comics if both the book + auto get high grades.

💣💥 SPOT THE FAKE 💣 💥

Sealed Chinese 151 - Until I saw the breakdown on reddit, I had no idea how close the fakes were to the original. The two (very small) giveaways are that on the real ones, the Pokeballs are more translucent and the perforation on the wrapping is different.

Feel free to share these photos and stay safe out there!

🌍New worlds, zero luggage required!

I believe that every time you open a comic, you’re booking a trip to another world, and you don't even need to pack a bag or get a passport.

One minute, you’re swinging with Spidey, the next you’re walking the streets of Gotham at midnight with Batman.

Comics aren’t just stories - they’re portals. Each issue contains a new adventure and a new universe to explore.

Knowing this... where did you travel to last? Drop it in the comments below!

Everyone’s chasing the big hitters like Moonbreon, Giratina, and Charizard… but let’s talk about the Legendary Beasts 🐾 Raikou, Entei, and Suicune.

These cards capture incredible artwork, showcase some of the most iconic Johto Pokémon, and yet they’re still sitting at prices way below other modern grails.

👉 In a hobby where popularity often drives prices, these feel like hidden gems. Collectors who appreciate history and art know how special they really are.

Do you think the Legendary Beasts alt arts are undervalued? Or are they just waiting for the rest of the community to catch up?

⚔️ Geralt’s back!!!

In the just announced The Witcher: Blood Stone. In this limited series from Dark Horse, he’s headed into the depths of dwarven mines, facing monsters and mysteries that feel like they are straight out of a Dungeons & Dragons campaign.

I have a feeling that reading it will feel like watching your try to take down your campaign's BBEG!

Vibe Checklist below:
✔️ Creepy setting
✔️ Dangerous creatures
✔️ That brooding hero who always , “Works alone”

Perfect for spooky season if you’re craving that mix of high fantasy and horror vibes.

My only question - when can we play this as a DND One-Shot?

Let's dive into one of the more colorful debates in comics:

👉 What’s your favorite style of comic book art?

Do you love the bold, classic lines of Silver Age heroes?
Are you into gritty, detailed realism that pulls you into the story?
Or maybe the stylized, experimental indie vibes are more your thing?

💬 Drop your favorite style (or artist!) in the comments!

🚨 Hobby News

This week eBay announced they will be scaling up operations at their Kentucky facility, appearing to replace the controversial layoffs from their Syracuse facility earlier this year.

If you didn't know - over 200 Jobs at the Upstate New York facility were cut this past May, to a loud and public outcry within the Hobby.

What do you think this upscale means for us collectors and those in the industry? & How have everyone's TCGPlayer experiences been this year?

The Scarlet and Violet era of Pokémon has given us many amazing sets, from Evolving Skies, to Crown Zenith, to my personal favorite Destined Rivals.

But here’s the fun question for below:
If you could only keep ONE modern set, which one would it be and why?

Saturday Showdown!!

Digital VS Print.

I ask - Do you love the feel and smell of a comic in your hands.... or do you prefer the convenience of reading digitally on a tablet?

Both sides offer perks , but I personally am still a sucker for Print!

Let me know when you think in the comments!!
