As someone new to E4, what are some of the best threads?
2 Likes
Depends on what your interest are. But if you want to explore the forum as a whole, there was a similar question asked by someone who was new at the time and there was a thread made and replies linked to it. You can take your time to explore.
I saw someone’s earlier question about how to manage their time better/spend less time scrolling the screen, which I think is massively important.
I am, however, on the other end of the spectrum currently, wanting to digest as much information as possible and find myself typing different topics into the search function and looking through the archives of E4.
I’m hoping members that have been around far longer than me, can help myself and hopefully future members take a crash course on some of …
Hope this helps and gives you a good place to start.
Cheers!

I really enjoy the most recent purchases threads. Both the regular and non pokemon ones. Its fun to see what people are grabbing and i love reading about what people get excited about. I also love reading the old prerelease threads and stuff like master lists that people put together.

These are some good ones to start with!
Entertainment:
When someone needs help from @japanime

When someone posts an opinion I disagree with

When, after much negotiating, you finally come to a trade/sale deal with someone

When you realize you made a mistake on the PSA submission form after putting it in the mailbox

When someone with a more substantial collection than you posts a crazy update

Continuing from the original thread: eBay Garbage
If you have any experiences of poor listings or terrible buyers go ahead and post them here !
Please add your Pokemon cringe to this thread.
I’ll start out. What the hell is this? [image]

I love error cards, they’re so cool to me. Even if the error is a very common one (ie: Base set Vulpix HP) it still feels a bit special to me because you have something that was made on accident. One of my favorites are the cards with square edges but only have some square edges, though I don’t own any.
My only interesting error cards are the Secret Wonders Mew Holo, where it’s listed as the New Specie Pokemon instead of New Species, and a Generations Gengar Holo where the holofoil covers the e…
Continuing the thread from here: What's your most Recent Purchase? [Archive]
Simple question, whats your most recent Pokemon card/item buy ?
Dont have to share if you dont want to. Im as slow as turtle when it comes to posting but i thought this could become neat thread.
It doesnt even have to be your most recent purchase, but a long term goal your proud of and need an audience that would appreciate it.
It could of been a collection goal or a spontaneous buy. Just post a photo of the item a…
What I would like to do is accumulate a series of terms or phrases that are specific to this hobby and translate them such that a normal person can understand what they mean.

I want it to cover the whole spectrum of cringe please!! Please contribute what you can
Acquisition (noun): An item that has been obtained; usually recently, and usually legally.

Hi all, I thought it would be nice to have a main thread for people to share their Pokemon fan art or crafts–extended art cards, paintings, digital art, crochet/amigurumi pieces, anything! I haven’t been active on the forums for too long, but I know there’s an illustration contest. And I’ve seen some awesome works there, so come share!
I’ll start us off with a little crochet Hoppip I made (quarter for scale):

@vodka ,Thought it would be fun to have a place to post NEW and OLD FAVORITE grading results. I’ll have some very interesting ones coming up.
Here’s an OLD FAVORITE from 2008:

Welcome to the
Index of Elite Fourum Collections!
This thread is dedicated to cataloguing every collection thread by every member! At E4, we are just as much about collections and celebrating additions/achievements as we are Poke-information and articles ! Hopefully this makes it easier for everyone to look up collections of your favorite members without having to bookmark a thousand threads, or to discover cards you’ve never known about before, or simply find some inspiration! These are s…

Continuation of this thread, established due to rebranding of PWCC to Fanatics Collect
I have separated out the content from this thread → IG account "banet_1965" is NOT Takumi Akabane into a more general place. For comments specific to that instagram account, feel free to post there. Everything else can go here.
As the hobby grows, so does the type of discussion. In light of the recent price growth and numerous investing topics, we are going to start implementing mega threads to consolidate conversation. This will be our first general mega thread for money market talk. For example threads like this , this , this , and this will be consolidated moving forward.
Pointed questions can still be their own topic. But the general money market discussion will be consolidated into this thread.
日本のマーケット部分
After popular demand, we are now adding a Giant Japanese Market Thread! The General GMT is mainly focused on the English market, specifically WOTC. The Japanese Market thread is for anyone who wants to discuss the japanese market: Modern product, New releases, Old releases, prices changes, share an interesting card; literally anything in relation to the japanese market!
THE GIANT PROFESSIONAL GRADING THREAD
This thread is the exclusive home for all your basic professional-grading related questions and answers! As the forum grows, so does the type of discussion that we have. We are implementing this megathread in order to cut down on some frequently posted questions which deserve to be answered but clutter up the forum if they are posted on their own.

Should I grade this card?
How do I submit to PSA/BGS/CGC?

Opinions:
What is an opinion in pokemon that you have that most people or maybe members of this forum seem to disagree with? Maybe you can change some minds! I don’t want this to turn into any kind of argument so lets not attack each other over opinions on cards. Here are some of mine.
Digital art is a tool that opens a large array of possibilities not open before. It only becomes homogeneous and bland when being used by a limited or unskilled user. AI is not digital art.
Here are some of mine:
People DMing “Hey Bro” or “Hey Boss”

What are some tough pills to swallow in Pokemon?
Here are some that come to mind:
Modern is EVERYWHERE. Holding a case of Hidden Fates or Evolving Skies in your closet isn’t unique or big-brained.
For 90% of us, our collection is not unique. It can be/was replicated by someone else.
If you buy BGS Black Labels, you’re paying for the label and not the card.
Set cards will always be obtainable.
Grading is subjective.

If you’re New here, you probably are here because Pokémon captured you during your Childhood,
you guessed it; Childhood Binders!
I’ve toyed with the idea for a thread like this for years at this point… I’ve been in the hobby as adult for the last 7 years and for most people I’ve come across it all started when we were kids or teenagers.
So as the title suggests, do you still have it?
I’ll start off by answering; yes, I do!
in the first photo we see a beautifully bedazzled

the years haven’t been kind to it as it’s kinda falling apart.

I guess I assumed this had been posted already:
I was looking through some of my binder collection the other day, and had an idea for a nice casual thread: A giant thread dedicated to artwork.
I loved browsing the 2017 favorite card thread, and figured this would encourage participation for any collector, brand new or veteran. Any type of art can be shared in this thread: a rare card, common card, post card, poster, anything; its all about appreciating that artwork!
Anyone who is new to the forum or hobby don’t feel shy, there are no wrong …
