The pool description says "You wish these things actually existed". Do posts still belong in the pool if the portrayed subject of the image actually exists?
For instance:
post #308535 - A similar game was made.
post #1146611 - These cards are actually on sale for 1,350 yen.
It seems that current practice is rather nonunified (some posts remain in the pool after being funded, some posts are removed but then had the funded tag added, and some posts are just removed from the pool with no further editing.
