2. TcgScans back to normal
If you didn’t hear, long story short, I was blackmailed and forced to remove all the Pokebeach scans that were on the site. A lot of scans were missing for a while, but Martin from Pokemon-Paradijs agreed to hook us up with new scans that don’t even have watermarks on them, which is pretty cool.
So over the past 5 days, a few incredibly helpful volunteers and I got the new scans uploaded and organized. It was tedious, but the 2 minute, 6 seconds long Beavis and Butt-head theme song put on infinite repeat got me through those long, boring hours. (12-bar blues ftw.)
In the future I could use help with getting scans for any new sets coming out, but I’ll put out an inquiry for that when the times comes.
Anyway that’s it for now… catch you later,
Adam
