Jokes aside, feels like the entire hobby is there — FOMO hitting anyone else?

Never ceases to amaze me how cool some comic book covers are. Here are a few that caught my eye from the new Comic Book Vending Machine that we launched on Courtyard.io today. DMX-inspired Wolverine is unreal 😂

2003’s Skyridge was Wizard of the Coast's final Pokémon set, and the print run was super limited. Case in point: this Gengar in a PSA 10 is pop, 92. Sales in this grade have pushed into the $10K range recently 🤯

A collector (@theslabsanctum on IG) pulled this one from a Diamond Pack on Courtyard. Love seeing grails like this pop up — especially with that swirl 🌀🔥

Easily in my top 3 Pokémon cards of all time.

From 2004's FireRed & LeafGreen set, the card shows Squirtle in the iconic scene from Nirvana's 'Nevermind' album cover. Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, who gave us the Base Set Charizard art along with hundreds of other Pokémon art gems over the years.

There are vague references to an Arita interview where he confirmed the connection, but I haven't been able to track it down. That said, given that Arita would have been in his 20s when 'Nevermind' dropped and some of the pop culture references in his other cards, it feels like a safe bet.

Pulled from an ETB the other week after chasing it since release. Did not disappoint 🔥
