They appeared to be going extinct for years, but a shit ton are opening around me because of Pokemon cards. What do you think of them?
>pay markup to some asshole gatekeeping onions for the privilege of buying something you could get online
who the fuck plays pokemon? actually, who the fuck plays any card game with non-proxy or chinese cards in 2026?
>>85123726>a shit ton are opening around meNo they aren't. Lay off the crack
>>85123726My small town has a population of 622. Yet some black guy opened a fucking hobby and collectables shop in it. Shit lasted for a whole 6 months before closing lol, idk what he was thinking. The whole town is aging boomer farmers and rednecks.
>>85123736You are the problem. Go suck amazons dick.
I think men should be allowed to play with pokemom cards and yugioh, and women should be allowed to be icked out by it
delusional scalper man children dreams
>>85123774Most businesses are just a front to hide illegal money
>>85123774Cheap ground rent>>85123752Its common with incels, they love those cards
>>85123790kys. hobby shops are an incestous corrupt business sustained by a mix of special benefits from the companies and monopolization. they provide nothing. nothing. just another way to suck morw money from the consumers. a lgs going extinct is the best thing that could happen to any game..
>>85123736>>85123752And with their value comes opportunity. He got robbed of 50k worth of cards a minute. I don't think they caught the gentlemen either.In the old days thieves stole cash or jewelry.
>>85123726>What do you think of them?Video game shops are always cool, anything else is just whatever. I should sell the pokemon cards that I have, maybe get a few bucks.
>>85123803lol thisAt this point the trading card hype is pretty much the physical version of NFT's from a few years back. At least you get a real item you can hold this time so I guess that's an improvement.
>>85123726I like the idea of going to one to find a nerdy friendgroup, but I dont have the money or interesting to get into a nerdy hobby
>>85123816If we lived in a normal world, they'd get 60 years each in prison, not the pervy janitor
>>8512372699% of them will be gone within 2yrs. It's a fad.
>>85123855>I like the idea of going to one to find a nerdy friendgroupYou dont make friends. Everyone only meets to do cards once a week, then returns to their PC to play dota, alone
>>85123855you wont find friends there. just smelly neckbeards and troons
>>85123726The gamestop near me went out of business a few months ago and was basically surviving off of Pokemon cards and memorabilia. The surge will be short-lived I'm sure.
>>85123874this was my life as a teen. went there every week to play standard magic. never made an acquaintance. from what i could tell the others didn't really either. some knew each other from before and would hang, the rest were mostly awkward. what a life. dota rules league drools.
>>85123880The only reason they're hyped rn is because people can randomly find a rare card and flip it to bigger retards online, who will probably find someone even more retarded to flip it to. It's yet another case of gambling disguised as """investment""" for dumbfucks with zero financial or common sense. The bottom can fall out at any moment. Hell, even after this hype cycle plays out, it is entirely possible that they will be worthless in the far future since future generations simply won't care about them. The actual fucking boomers found this out pretty recently. If you want to invest in something, unironically go on the stock market. Far easier to buy and sell and somehow less risky.
>>85123916>entirely possible that they will be worthless in the far future since future generations simply won't care about them.Star wars memorabilia
>>85123933Sure, but there's a gorillion other forgotten franchises with merch nobody cares about. Hell, the antique furniture market backed by muh history is in the gutter right now since nobody wants to lug heavy ass furniture around. Just because something was relevant way back when doesn't make it valuable now. Just the way it goes.
>>85123966>Just because something was relevant way back when doesn't make it valuable now.Its spiritually valuable. I like the past
>>85123985And you're one faggot out of a gorillion who don't share your opinion.
>>85123726>pokemonKek they hate yugioh
>>85124010yeah he looks white to me
>>85124003Ok retard, how edgy
>>85124025>other people having different opinions than me is LE EDGElol, lmao even
>>85124031Denigrating others is pathetic
>>85124037>someone called me a faggot>on 4chanOH THE HUMANITY!!!
>85124067You're just unlikable, stop now
The collectibles market is gonna pop off pretty hard in the coming years. People who have been paying attention have been getting ready for this. It's also pretty much guaranteed sales because scalpers are retarded and buy all your stock off you if you let them.
>>85123790>noooo you have to spend 500% market up of your sheckels for childrens toys so I can have a poor excuse to flirt with women
I never understood the appeal of collecting cards. Dont even call that shit a hobby.
>>85123874Dota? Nobody plays dota but me.
>>85123933Star wars memoribila is all bought by millenials. Zoomers really couldn't give less of a fuck about star wars.
>>85124317>Zoomers really couldn't give less of a fuck about star wars.Thanks disney. The prequels are kino
There's one by me. I don't have the biggest interest in cars games but I saw they like the one piece card game and pretty much only hold events for that game. Maybe I'm old but who gives a fuck about one piece trading card game?
>>85123816>most card shops have shitty security and dont even have a steel gate that rolls down after they closemost of them deserve the loss to be honest
>>85123816Not wholesome at all.
>>85124271I like things you don't likeI post facts you don't have the balls to faceAnd there is jack fucking shit you can do about it.
>>85124317Damn, hit far quicker than I thought. Millenials are the immediate predecessor of zoomers. Boomers got through all of Gen X and most of millenials before they realized they can no longer offload their collectibles to the next generation.
>>85124280That's what they said during COVID due to all the coronabuxx. And it really did for a time. In the present I'm currently seeing people trying and failing to offload whatever they bought back then at a loss.
>>85123816I was literally going to post "Looks like a good target for niggers" from just the OP
