Refracted Rarities

POV: Recreating the original 151 Pokemon Pokedex, but only using modern art upgrades! 🔥 Part 12 is all about the rock snake himself: Onix! 🪨

We found this clean Onix GX for just $3, bringing our total project tracker to 22/151 cards completed and $810 spent so far. The binder is slowly filling up with incredible Full Arts, Illustration Rares, and SIRs. 😱
Who do you think we should hunt down next for the collection? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Bro really thought he was about to make a million bucks on these 💀 DoubleHolo doesn’t lie, the charts are crashing! Better luck next time.

We cannot stand when people do this. 🛑 Begging for a “personal collection” discount just to turn around and flip it for a profit immediately. Marketplace etiquette is officially dead. Have you ever caught a reseller doing this to you? Let me know in the comments. 👇

Giving the OG 151 the “Chase Card” treatment they deserve! 💎 Part 11: Eggs!

When every customer is now a vendor and wants a discount. 🛑😂
