So I recently did my 1st vending show and I sold off my eye candy which were these beauties now I need ideas with the funds I got what should I pick up raw and grade to use as eye candy again. I was thinking about using the Chinese 5th anniversary pikachu and Chinese GX ZARD or my English Umbreon vmax and Japanese raw Umbreon Xmas but idk.
