I made this site over twenty years ago. For some reason it's still alive.
Five down, 47 more roundups to go!

Today’s news will cover these topics: Return of Kadabra (and the Spirit of 2002) Stolen Blanks for Sale Pokemon TCG Online Will Go Silent… Fish Goes on a Pokémon Streamer’s Shopping Spree Recently Updated Pages The Last Safari Zone HD Remaster Card….     Return of Kadabra (and the Spirit of 2002) When I saw […]


It's usually not a good idea to do this before I need to go to work in the morning.

Today’s news will cover these topics: WANTED: Amazing TCG History! New Galarian/Paldean Language Theory New Instagram Shows TCG Art History The Final Stage of this Safari Zone HD Remaster Surprise     WANTED: Amazing TCG History!

Chip Nichols is out sick this week

Just gonna keep things simple this week, as I haven’t been feeling very well over the last few days. Fortunately I have just enough energy for this episode (albeit a day late) but I hope to be back to normal by next weekend. Thank you for your understanding! As such, this week I just want […]

Let’s just pretend that it’s Christmas. But yeah! I finally was able […]
