>>57283057tats are low IQ.
>>57283057That’s not Goated Fable
Disgusting.
>>57283057Tera crowns are UGLY.
how do you not get overwhelmed by the amount of things you want to buy?
>>57282260i peaked at the giratina. i did get some great hits from other sets like venusaur from 151 and some other stuff but my godprismaticthat fucking seti had zero hitsZEROmy best hit was an eri trainer card and a jolteon ex. not a single master ball or 2 star special illusion rare
>>57283182ya I'm done pulling shitsmatic. Opened 3 sticker collections, 1 poster, 1 binder and I got 2 shitmon masterballs, a bunch of garbage 5ban ex, and shitmon pokeballsNot even going to open my ETBs that are on back order.
>>57283182giratina is an amazing hit anyway
>>57283051btw to that anon from a few threads ago, I ended up making that trade for the crystal lugia
DEPORT ALL INVESTOR FAGS TO >>>/biz/59695683
>>57283551Pokemon "investors" are just grown men living in their mom's basement collecting pokemon cards trying to justify not getting a real job. Eveyone knows this.
>>57283182>>57283244Unironically a skill issue.
For those living in canada where do you guys buy cards from? Every small hobby store sold out already or is asking 200+ for etbs, big box stores get raided by smelly jeets and Arabs, online is full of bots. Is there a retail chain that would carry them that jeets haven't found out about? Maybe bath and body works since they don't shower?
>>57283553investors are faggots that keep posting about prices. even the ones seething about scalpers. go to /biz/ to seeth over market conditions.
>>57283281
>>57283551Uhm were the fuck is the tera crown?
>>57283281Smart anon
buy low bros... this will be the ultra prism lillie of this generation
>>57283551Really wanted a specific card. When I learned it kept incrementally jumping up $10 to $20 a day (despite being an old card) my mind didn't go "Oh shit, better get it quick!", no, I thought "Well that's fucking lame. Guess I'll just buy a proxy on Aliexpress for $5.". I wish nothing but death upon investor faggots and it's only a matter of time before sales plummet because simpletons like me don't fall for this shit. Because at this point it's just investors selling to other investors, rinse, repeat, increase asking price, until the market kills itself.
>>57283562There is no where to find anything.
>still grading cards
>>57283567>No don't talk about the rampant scalping driving singles prices to ridiculous heights and making product near impossible to find! You're just as bad as them!Go fuck yourself, fag. Seething is an entirely appropriate response to the current state.
>>57283182Erm didnt you hear anon? The set is supposed to have better pulls than crown zenith... The ((trusted sources)) said it so it must be true... buy more!!
Imagine being Pokerev in that video and having to be all like "damn, Shrouded Fable, you fuckin' fire, all sexy with your clean Houndoom and horrific androgynous full art trainer. I would totally hoard product of you, both for my collection and as an investment." when all he really wants to do is rip another Prismatic Evolutions etb in his basement. Like seriously imagine having to be Pokerev and not only sit in that chair while Shrouded Fable flaunts its disgusting SIRs in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing the poor centering and lame designs, and just sit there, pack after pack, hour after hour, while it delivered those rares. Not only having to tolerate the shit fucking pullrate but the hype attitude as everyone in chat tells him it's GOING TO THE MOON and DAMN, SHROUDED FABLE HAS HITS LIKE THAT?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and pull the ugly fucking slop illustrations depicting Yokai Watch looking shillmons you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been cracking nothing but a healthy diet of Greninjas and Pikachus and later alleged scalped sets for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of your mother's basement. You've never even seen anything this fucking garbage before, and now you swear you can see the Okidogi ex that's waiting in the crinkled pack as it reflects light to gleam suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in its "nefarious" (for that is how it markets itself)" secret rares, the secret rares it worked so hard for with professional artists in the previous months. And then the community calls for another opening, and you know you could ruin every single portfolio in this chat before the mods could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Pokerev. You're not going to lose your prospective investments over this. Just bear it. Photoshop your face and bear it.
Yeah I think I'm buyin' some more Shrouded KINO after this
You do resleeve all the singles you get in your mail with fresh clean sleeves, right anon?
>>57283677Of course. Anything I get from a card show too.
>>57283653>Seething is an entirely appropriate responseit's an impotent response and if you have a financial issue, take it to the finance board or reddit.
>>57283677I just throw them in a card saveram I doing it wrong not replacing the penny sleeve?
>>57283703What if they're dirty anon?
what a lackluster set. I might just capitulate and commission a custom N card.
Shrouded Fable is not bad.It's easy for you to pretend it is "trash" when your livelihood isn't correlated with how much money you make from selling Shrouded Fable ETBs. Following the market is dumb.
>still buying vintage
>>57283705I dunno I guess I just trust the nips I buy from not to be dirty slobs
>>57283737bro its fucking garbageI wouldn't rip SF if people gave me packs for free. The loyal three are the ugliest legendary shitmons ever. Prismatics has a better Janine card. Penny is ugly. Best card is probably >>57283744
>still buying kanto
>>57283703If you don't display them fine, but 99% of the toploaders I receive are old and scratched and taped, while the sleeves inside are mostly fine but there are still a lor of dusty and creased ones, and it's always a mix of penny, perfect, opaque, etc.Even if the card is mint, the dust and scratches in the sleeves, toploaders and/or binder pockets stack on top of each other and make the card look damaged.
Say my fucking name, /vp/.

>>57283827With 100$ you can buy all the 18 japanese ARs + a zapdos or an alakazam.
>still buying modern
If I send a $150 card to PSA how much do I have to pay in the end?$20 grading?$20 shipping?and they also take a cut of the value of the card right? how much is that? 10%?
>>57283744This card will be worth 1000$ in a month btw
>>57283898is it a shourded fable card?
>>57283894You pay shipping+insurance+grading+tax+tip + an additional arbirtary fee if the card jumps in value too much, and you can still get the card stolen or swapped with a worse one.
>>57283559>not the fruit basket eeveetry again
>>57283827Im not paying a fraction of that for K*nto
Just pissed myself in line for a 151 at Costco, is this a sign I should buy Shrouded Fable on the way home?
>>57283795CHORPIZOOP
>>57283894Just send it to TAG they're so much better. Fuck not knowing what arbitrary bs made my card lose a grade.
>>57283942My wife cracked a single sticker pack on got that on pack 2.
>>57283899Naturally

I'm IRL friend with Elon Musk, I told him to buy all the Shrouded Fable he could find on the internet, everything sealed and singles, promos, PC stamps, all available boxes, etc. Any listing on any website in any language.You don't have to believe me now, we will resume this topic next saturday.Meanwhile, you better buy some Shrouded Fable before it's too late...

>>57284742It looks pretty, actually.

Is the chinese version of the game sold in the mainland, taiwan, or both?
>>57285222Does this show have an english dub
>>57285128Not really a fan of Pikachu being this round in the head and long in the body but the art is pretty goof. Really like Mew card and the Mew in the background of the top right Pikachu card.
I’ve literally never pulled the one card i wanted from a set from any sealed product. I’ve always had to buy a the single.
>>57285128I only wanted the psyduck one but from the looks of it that shit is gonna be 300$
151 more copies graded in a 10 in the past 4 days. Most rare most valuable card in all of modern collecting. so says the price charts of TCGplayer.
the giratina that i opened last nightdon't mind the dustI honestly think this is psa 10 worthy.I see zero weightsand I think the centering is really good. Question is do i want to try to go for that beckett pristine label
>>57285364thats a lot of cards graded
I buy fake cards and sell them to poketubers. They don't know the difference nor is there a way to tell without severe autism
>>57285379>>57285364Its also 4x more graded in a 10 compared to the Ancient Mew card that was given out for free to people in theaters for going and seeing the pokemon movie 20+ years ago.
>>57285375This is not a 10
>>57285375I don't like the top left corner of the card. I dunno if it's whiting or dust
>>57285375it looks like you could get a 10.
>>57285285>not opening sealed to hoard more bulk
>>57285375that will never get a 10, max 9 more likely 8
Just wait until you see the grey hat pikachu. these modern cards are far too many.
>>57285390That's a lot of niggers holding onto PSA10s hoping that it'll be the next Chaizard
>>57285458sad news is that if your card is already over 1000 pop in a PSA 10. its already over. most cards that are worth the price you pay are less than a couple hundred in existence
>>57285002Because of the silver version, you doofus.
>>57285128I can't wait for that mew to be released in English as the promo for the 30th anniversary box, in memory of those 1500 people who lost their lives trying to get the chinese one.
>>57285128You ain't getting shit, faggot. You'll suck that chink dick and you're gonna love it.
>>57285375The slight off centering in the back will probably only get it the 9 at the most
>>57285135They are.>b-b-buhMistakes happen all the time everywhere, Japanese cards still have a significantly better track record than English.
>>57283673I love this template.
>>57285238Taiwan gets the T-Chinese version and mainline gets S-Chinese. Both are different and the S-Chinese version literally just now started releasing SV era cards earlier this month, while T-Chinese is caught up with the rest of the world.
>>57283673>Modern collectors reading this sitting on their mass-produced shit praying to God the market never bursts.
TIL Shrouded Fable is a special set, how on earth is it special?
I don't know which part of the market collapse has me more excited, being able to buy all the cards I wanted without scalpers profiting, or the scalpers themselves losing everything they've "invested" into this bullshit
>>57285650>or the scalpers themselves losing everything they've "invested"Def this part. Want to read the horror stories of some fat brownoids going to life changing debt over pokemon
>>57285650I doubt that is going to happen. The hobby has grown by 3-5x in the past few months, and those people are hype chasing chinkoid genwunners for the most part.They hear about these chase cards and they're willing to pay top dollar for it since they are the jews of asia. There is too much demand right now that we're likely looking at a new price floor rather than a crash.
>>57285659Keep coping, you're going to drown in your unsold stock
>>572856502 more weeks you say
*clears throat**thumps mic*Ahem Ahem testinggood afternoon /tcc/, I just wanted to remind you that investors, hoarders and resellers deserve to be shot in the street execution style like the scum they arethank you for listening to my TED talk
>>57285665I want them to drown in unsold stock. I just don't see it happening with all the nigger tier chinkoids hoarding product recently. Look how they've manipulated macro world economics, I have no doubts that they're also doing this to Pokemon because it's Japanese
>>57285659Most of that demand is from scalpers. eBay is overflowing with sealed that people can't sell. Many auctions are closing at just over MSRP kek.
>>57285673oh yeah, whats your angle? are you new and own nothing and mad that you cannot afford anything?or are you a scalper pretending its ok that the collectors are the problem?
>>57285686Nice
>>57285677Blooming Waters is already old news. Prismatic will be in a month once people realize they're printing shitloads of it. What happens when scalpies need the money and have lots of product nobody wants to buy for 2-3x?
>>57285689I have my binder and have been filling it repeatedly throughout the years. You bag holding scum are lower than the garbage my dog digs through when he goes hunting for scraps
***WAIT GATE****I introduce to you the new modern collecting guide. it's a new movement, I'm calling it "Wait Gate". looking at all the population numbers and knowing how mass produced everything is and this is a new age of collecting where we have gone from hundreds of examples of graded cards to tens of thousands in the past few years. All you must simply do now is "Wait". it is and indefinite amount of time, but all you do is not engage in the current market, take your money elsewhere knowing all the cards are well preserved in PSA slabs and have way high pop counts. while you fuck off for a little bit since you can't be trusted to wait, taking your good hard-earned money and investing it in either stocks, other TCG's or just simply get a new hobby. these cards are vast and all we must do now is wait. TikTok modern collectors. sooner or later your bubble will burst.
>>57285637It's just that cool
>>57285659>I doubt that is going to happen>Doubting TeddyYou will ragert
>>57285677The way they rip the packs out of that guy's hands before he's even actually fallen over and pounce to steal as much as they can once he does is just disgusting. These "people" are lower than animals.
>>57285735They aren't people, they're Asian
Goddamn I opened another 40 Crown Zenith packs and got zero gold cards. At this point I have so much CZ bulk I need to stop and just buy singles already, I will never pull them myself.I did get a lot of other nice cards but I want the Arceus, Giratina and the Glaceon more than anything...And anyway buying more sealed is no longer sensible, the prices are climbing rapidly here in Europe, there's no 39.99 sky&sea boxes here.
>>57283673imagine being pokerev in the 151 vs shrouded fable video and being all like "oh golly I wonder who will win this!" being fully aware you're going to pull 100 packs of straight dog shit
>>57285650Why not both?
Why do people act like Prismatic chase cards look pretty?The Umbreon is ok but generally all of them are just crystal and tera puke everywhere, way too busy
>>57285731hand it over
>>57285731Hold a live auction on ebay saying you'll destroy the card if you're not paid over 10000 before the deadline
I hate what has happened to this hobby.
>>57285769Because they do, love the Espeon and Sylveon ones in particular, honorable mention to Leafeon too.
LMAO, check this out, a store in my country is actually selling the Eevee binder ALONE, i doubt they sacrifice some boxes for this because I didn't see any PE booster pack being sold separately of any box.
>>57285785You really count this among the great looking cards out there?
>>57285769Terashit is going to age as well as BREAK cards. Just ugly shit all around

>>57285791Yeah.
>All this hype will do is tell gamefreak to include a zard and umbreon in every pack going forwardIM SICK TO DEATH OF THESE SHILLMON
>>57285816I don't get it.
>>57285821I welcome a zard and umbreon in every pack so I can get the cards I like for cheap.
>>57285820Well ok fair enough then, I find them to be much too busy, like most tera themed cards
>>57283637The other Penny card will be, the one that has an UMBREON in the artwork
>>57285821Please... give me a really well done full art Kabutops and Wailord and Absol, just those threeNOT this one, it's ugly
>>57285821Same. I'm at the point where I actually hate that I always feel like such a contrarian but people in general do just have shit opinions. I'm so fucking sick of all eveelutions. They can all eat my whole dick. Same with zard. I don't even understand how a lot of "fan favorites" even become popular. I mean I guess those two because ones a dog and the other is a basic bitch dragon.
Im going to do another PSA submission soon i have alot to submit, but what is actually worth my time is questionable.
>>57284329>>57284537Well its an English card.
>>57285832Penny destroys the card value, next to nobody likes her.
Snagged a PE etb at target should I open or sell.
>>572856502 more weeks. Can't wait.
>>57285850>getting cards signed by VAs at allArtists, yeah. VAs, why? It's like people that get their cards signed by the guy who sung the OG English OP.
>>57285834Most people are incapable of having nuanced or unique preferences. A decent portion of the population has some degree of aphantasia and by extension no imagination. They just see a dragon and a black cat and think "waow." Pokemon fans prior to covid were spoiled. Now you have to deal with all the retards that like whichever pokemon is the most expensive.
>>57285873The guy who sung the English OG probably didn't voice a popular character
>>57285873I'd get my cards signed by my vtuber oshi if she did it, why not

>>57285896
>>57285821Shrouded Fable has anti-shillmons
>>57285834It's made me dislike the Eeveelutions barring Flareon since no one wants the poor thing even in card form. Always thought Zard was overrated, but I'm a Bulbafag.
>>57285833>WailordCheck Battle Partners.
>>57285769I think they look pretty, aside from Flareon and Jolteon. Which is unfortunate since Flareon is my second favorite.
>>57285919Oh sweet, Wailord my bro got some love
I opened the two Prismatic ETBs I managed to get and regret it cause I got nothing
>>57285939But you got them at msrp, right anon...?
>>57285945Yes, it was the only place that actually came through with a preorder I had, all others cancelled
>>57285957Should I sell mine
>>57285961Yes, pull rates are beyond dogshit. Don't trust the shills and pumpers.
>>57285805Starter Deck Astral is judging you.
>>57285961How much do you need to pull whatever it is you want yourself? What do you even want out of it?
>>57285905
>>57285974I profit kek
>>57285980If you just want money then sell them now or sit on them for many years and then sell againYou will not pull that Umbreon
>>57285977You willfully blind yourself to the truth
>>57285989It's shilling the DLC shitmons that no one likes.
>>57285986might open it anyways because my brother wants me too kek.
>>57285731W-what are you going ro do with it?!
>>57285151yes
>>57285897shut up jamal were not pumping prices on cards you own to make you feel better like the other pokemon community members do in coordination.
Why is everyone hyping up SF as some 'slept on' set that you have to buy now before it gets hot?
>>57285731fake
fellow peruANOn, is this what you collect?
>>57286051probably because they are abundant, and people been picking them up.

>>57286051>buy a million bargain bin priced Shrouded Fable>it's not moving>try to drum up hype so make videos and posts about "GET SHROUDED NOW IT'S GONNA GO THE MOON SOON"That said there's nothing wrong with having some, it's impossible for it to become any cheaper, if you just let it sit some years it'll no doubt appreciate a bit
What the fuck leaf bros I'm buying shit from Japan and I'm getting charged gst when the package comes inisn't this shit supposed to be on holiday?

>>57286187Beckett 8 but good enough for a PSA gem mint 10 PSA is a joke
why don't you retards just grade with bgs? as long as you send in 9.5+ it's better in the long run than (((psa)))
>>57286051I've seen it time and time again, it'll happen with all the sets. It's the equivalent to when crypto bros pump shit coins. The other sets have the prices too high, so it's difficult for them to get the money to do large buyouts on singles. So they find the cheapest singles and try pumping it.It works because a lot of people in this hobby only like what others like or what has monetary value. & All it takes is a retard like Danny scamtump to make a "zomg these price increases are bonkerooo guise get in on this before it explodes!!!" And then everyone piles on. To manipulate the market and PokéTubers all you gotta do is create a market movement significant enough for them to notice then the video they make has a cascading effect. Then you turn around and sell your buyout slowly, maybe auction grade the best ones.

I just invested 50k$ in sealed shrouded fable. In how many months will I be able to double my investment? Can't wait!
>>57286217Not my cards, don't care.
>>57286207PokeTubers are so creatively bankrupt that they'll make content that actively hurts the hobby. By covering the market values and manipulation they create further fomo. Then other PokéTubers create even more content around it either criticism or whatever, but it still perpetuates the narrative of fomo. Almost all PokeTubers become large eBay sellers, store owners, or rip & shippers. With large amounts of product intentionally held back to capitalize on the inevitable value increase. It's in their best interest to fomo the market and drive up prices. Look at all these LGS, they now charge more than box stores. They've completely lost the plot.
>Loyal three set>always there for you>Made their own SIRs shitty so everyone can afford the set>Best cards are ARs and English only promosI can see why scalpers hate SF. Its taking the spotlight away from their product that they waited 10 hours in target to get.
>>57286217>playerchad flexing on INVESTOORS that get upset over other people's cardsBased and redpilled

>>57286291none of those cards are worth shit though.
>>57286298>he cared enough to screenshot any analyzeSeething
>>57286273And they want you to believe they're the bad guys
>>57286318>he cared enough to respondSeething
>>57286361>still respondingkek that video is living in your head rent free
The entire purpose of PokeTubers is to advertise their product (Pokemon cards) and to make as much money off of you. These are hobbiest, their scalpers with an advertising campaign.
>>57285650What collapse? Did I blink and miss it or something?
>>57286394I'm hobbier
>>57286410It's cope. We're currently in a bull market and it will set a new precedent for PKMN as a stock choice. The days of it being cardboard for kids is over, it's now akin to collecting rare art, crypto, or functional NFTs
>>57286410He's a time traveler from 2027
>>57286487It's time for pokemon to go full yugioh
>>57285782Give it a few months and things will settle down here at least.
>>57286503>Team Rocket>Black White>Megas>30th Anniversary>a few monthskek, it's not going to be till 2027 that the market cools
Dotscardshop has the Lillie and N file sets
>>57286575I'm just glad my personal taste and preferences for cards are so much different than most people's.I was able to completely skip Sperging Sparks, Traumatic Executions I only wanted 15 cards from the set, most of which was basically bulk, maybe 2 bulk cards from Horny Forever. Rocket & Black & White don't seem to have much to offer at all.
>>57286575No shit, that's why I said here specifically. Team Rocket is the last worthwhile event for all the new retards that have been rushing the thread since the waifu and eevee sets.
>>57286298the left one is worth 20
>>57286487Imagine being this new. They will reprint the fuck out of it.
So it's come to this. Since I can hardly enjoy trying to complete any set without selling my semen, I decided to start on the trick-or-trade sets. >cheap>no cards of value so no one cares about them>all cards in set likely contained in just one booster bundleI've been opening one booster a night and slowly filling the binder. I am actually enjoying myself on this stupid endeavor and there is nothing anyone can do about it
>>57286725>one booster a night>3 cardsI applaud your patience and self control
>>57286684Reprints don't matter when stock will be bought out immediately
>>57286748>he doesn't know
>>57286762That Pokémon is more popular than it ever has been and hypebeasts wil be buying out stock for years to come. Even with PRE being reprinted to shit, it doesn't matter when you have brownoids buying everything the moment it hits shelves
>>57286487You said the same shit a few years ago and it died down.
>>57286766For a single moment the thought "but don't the brownoids understand that they're just dragging each other down by doing this" crossed my mind, but then I came to my senses
>>57286626>Rocket & Black & White don't seem to have much to offer at all.We haven't seen even one card from either set, what the fuck are you even blabbering on about?
>>57286725>>57286746It's like sustaining yourself on one piece of bread a day.
>>57286725No waifu cards in these sets tho
>>57286781>muh evil mons>muh modern 151yeah, nothing at all
>>57286766For sure, just keep investing.
paldea evolved etb was going for more than $200 in the card shop I visited today, everything else was off the shelf costco new old stock blister bundles. actually unbelievable business practices
>>57286781Rocket's Pokemon and Black& White seem like it'll be ass on the surface.
>buy etb of shrouded fable for 40 bucks because it was the cheapest etb on amazon>open >FA Colress >SIR Houndoom already pulled one but this one has better centeringwtf 150% increase in the past 2 weeks>Ace Spec and Kingdra ExI was planning to pick up some singles this Tuesday but the closest LCS might have updated prices
>>57286576Sold out already, damn.
>>57286631Nah the normies will eat up the Mega Charizards, itll be the moonbreon of that set
>Danny Scamtum complaining about pokemon pricesThese retards flaunted the wealth of their pokemon collections seeing themselves as big fish only to invite whales into their space and get BTFO. Fucking morons
>>57286828That's the modern market, kids.
>>57286795>>57286796I just wanna prove that we can survive these hard times if we discipline ourselves.I'm pretty much exclusively ordering the things I want rather than traveling to all the all the stores that sell pokemon nearby on a regular basis and settling for what's available. Really it's just something to keep myself occupied while I wait on things to be delivered. I didn't expect to have a good time with it though.
>>57286905>Danny Scrotum
>>57286905Self-awareness isn't the strongpoint of these niggers. They make videos focused around the monetary value of cards on the resale market, videos about how to invest in Pokemon like it's some ETF, and then start crying when other people start playing the game they've been baiting and act as though the problem they feed isn't partly their fault.
>>57286828but anon you could get 8 alternate ionos!
>>57286975I will now buy
>>57286828>everything else was off the shelfEverything? You sure...?
>>57284158Not that anon, but for a set that shills waifus and husbandos, there's not enough waifus and husbandos.
>>57287019>Lillie>N-igger>Iris>Iono>Marnie>StevenIt's got some of the biggest waifu and husbando bait of recent years in it. Lillie, Steven, and N are big money makers in games like PoMa. The only person they're missing yet, is Cynthia.
>>57287006yea
>>57287014meds
>>57285381Cool. Post em
>>57285023Yes, but cum on the card first. That helps massively at PSA
>>57286828Go back after close and steal everything they have yo
>>57287014autism is a interesting illness
>>57287043there's no one here with you
>>57286684No. They will not. They've payed lip service to the problem, now they'll just wait until everyone moves on to the next hype set. The hype and artificial scarcity only works for them. They will not fix it.Muh, 'they'll print the shit out of it' bros are coping hard
>>57287054I have my pikachu fleshlight. That's all I need
>>57287081this is concerning
>>57287065>company says they will reprint sets>ok cool>Nuh-uh! they will not! my investments will collapse if they do that, please no!Yea, keep coping, maybe if you say no 3 times, it will become true.
>>57287065the company made a official statement that they will reprint it which has never happened before
i'm jsut so confused about this pokemon marketshould i just sell sell sell and wait til it cools off and buy or whatbuying singles are so fucking expensive right nowlike the mewtube is 50% more. the lugia/mew is going higher and higher. giratina and gengar is just mind blowingly high.
>>57287137crypto is crashing hard right now so wait
>>57287137Prices wont cool after 30th anniversary. The mega evo will unfortunately rehype whatever steam is lost in between then, but afterwards the normies and scalpfags get bored/be too deep in the hole to want to continue
>>57287148>still near 100kwhat are you talking about
>>5728715670k in a month
>>57287154Better get your preorders for the 50th anniversary in now before they sell out
>>57287130Like I said, lip service. They are full of shit. Did you not know that
>>57287174>Whomever is moderating this boardgo back
>>57287169Pokemon won't last that long. I have a plan to take them down. These crooks have ruined enough people with their gambling model already. They're FUCKED
>>57287174seriously wtf are you tripping aboutyour above spam doesn't make any fucking sense at all
We need another temporal forces to shrouded trifecta to kill this marketIm not confident though since we’re going from JT to sinnoh set to Rocket probably We’re fucked unless TPC increases printing production
>>57287181Clearly it is being moderated seeing as he's ban evading.
>>57287169>Better get your preorders for the 50th anniversary>He doesnt know I already have my 100th anniversary preorders locked inNGMI
>>57287050
>>57287137Investorfags don’t know shit. There’s always going to be a new hype set, you can’t collect them all. Prismatic Evolution booster boxes haven’t even dropped yet, and scalper idiots are already blowing their money on ETBs like morons. Plus, there’s the surprise box and the reprints they just announced.Then you’ve got the Team Rocket set coming up, which has its own hype building. These scalpers who just jumped into the market are going to be stuck sitting on a mountain of sticker collections and overpriced ETBs that nobody’s buying. They’ll either have to break even or dump their stock just to free up cash for the next hype set. They don’t have infinite money.Just wait for the new set to drop, they’ll start panic-selling their entire inventory soon enough. Same goes for singles.
>>57286797Whatever, faggot.
>>57287193Temporal forces is a actually a great set. Iron crown and iron leaves are both far better cards than the moonbreon. Its just pokefags are all retarded niggers
>>57286875>>SIR HoundoomDoesn't exist.
>>57287203"Scalper idiots" are making mad shekels. What are you talking about
>>57287216Looks like a scalper idiot got triggered.
>>57287203>Prismatic Evolution booster boxes haven’t even dropped yetnobody tell him
>>57287219I pulled the espeon SIR out of a sticker collection. I'll be flipping my 6 ETBs for 1k and there is NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT
>>57287214I knighted my pull
>>57287203>Prismatic Evolution booster boxes haven’t even dropped yetAnd they never will because its a special set.
>>57287235>>57287225I SAID DON'T TELL HIM
>>57287203>don’t know shit.>Prismatic booster box
>>57287235>>57287225>>57287244I meant booster bundles.
>>57287203
>>57287225>>57287235>>57287239>>57287248he meant booster bundles >>57287246lol owned
New>>57287251>>57287251
>>57287228>I'll be flipping my 6 ETBs for 1kPost proof once you do it.
>>57287130They reprint sets all the time. 18% of all Pokémon cards ever printed, were printed last year, more than 50% of all cards ever printed, have been printed since 2020/People here don't seem to understand that the demand is cripplingly insane at the momemt with all the Pocketnigger millennial aged managers getting a second taste of the TCG since childhood combined with disposable income that they can't spend on a house.Every year they print the equivalent to five normal years, but the demand is 100x more than it was even a few months ago
Why has this hobby exploded in popularity and value? People are fighting for their lives to grab boxes of cards. Do people play the game or they just collect or invest in cards?
