>reports of similar robberies now happening with armed men showing up to card stores and robbing store merchandise+customers of their valuable Pokemon cardsWhat the fuckJust how bad is it getting to the point robbers are now holding people at gunpoint for Pokemon cards?
weebs are out of control
>>526169873100K for shinny cardboard.
Gotta catch 'em all.
>>526169983The market is insanely over inflated thanks to delusional millennials with no other options than to invest in their childhood belongings
>>526169873god damn imagine ever thinking about pokemon or being in a position for this to happen in 2026, if you played that shit past red and blue what the fuck is the appeal, eventually you grew out of that shit fairly quick
>>526169983I assume the only cards actually worth anything are those first edition from back in the ninety's, whose paying high dollar for the current shit?
Gotta snatch 'em all!
>>526169873>Boston, LA, and Seattle Kek
based and sopranos-pilled
>>526171144>stop enjoying things
>>526169873>Pokemon cardsThat fagotry is still a thing?JFC!
>>526171077>>526171144Tell me you're low T without telling me you're low T
>>526171149New trading cards still go for hundreds sometimes thousands of dollars. Look them up and keep in mind that you usually need more than 1 copy of a card have an optimal deck.
>>526169873Sounds like they should've prepared for trouble!
>>526169873normal fags deserve it for liking pokemon, the laziest contrived, lowest common denominator delta brainwave trash
>>526171144>god damn imagine ever thinking about pokemon or being in a position for this to happen in 2026, if you played that shit past red and blue what the fuck is the appeal, eventually you grew out of that shit fairly quickYou are saying this on an animu forum website that was created because SomethingAwful wouldn't let creeps post cartoon pornography of characters stylized to resemble underage children. Most people here are traumatized since childhood and such have had their mental development arrested, so they pretend to be overly sensitive adult children that hold onto their toys as fetishes, but because they have grown up and developed sexual maturity while being isolated and unable to act on it, they are retarded.
>>526169873>Just how bad is it getting to the point robbers are now holding people at gunpoint for Pokemon cards?Its NYC. People there are legally punished for killing robbers. The city government tells them that they will go to jail if they kill a robber. Its just not worth it. You already pay for insurance for the expensive goods (if youre not a retard) so whatever. Its still a loss and not good. NY state and NYC deny shop owners the satisfaction of killing robbers. Itll keep happening in nyc and get worse with mamdani. Whatever. I took my money and left and live in Miami now and it's a lot better. NYC faggots deserve it. If youre rich and live in NYC, just leave already. People who dont leave deserve to suffer.
>>526171077Do they not have printers?
Gen X anon here we will never understand the Pokeman craze it seems like kindergartener shit
>>526169873Based. Modern games hobbyists are liberalism-addled beans bros, there's no chance they'd have a firearm.
>>526171144Gold and Silver and Crystal was based. KYSJust playing pokemon vidya on gba and DS doesnt mean youre some retard who spends $1000s+ or more on pokemon TCG cards. The same games can be emulated for free nowadays
>>526171144It's a drug and it's great. Gen 3 and 4 are the best.Gen 9 in also underrated.
>>526171149> whose paying high dollar for the current shit?
>>526171642sounds about right buddy, crazy what SA became huh? Lowtax turned junkie and killed himself, the place that introduced many early internetters to furries and trannies to laugh at ends up owning the shell of what's left. Didn't see that coming desu
>>526171149>whose paying high dollar for the current shit?People that can't afford the old cards. People new to the game.The new cards are also very nice.I think the most valuable ones in general are the gold stars, not even the oldest.
>>526169873Anime's becoming reality.
>>526169873Please don’t let them take my dual lands
>>526171748It's a gambling addiction with a veil of plausible deniability of being a collector/hobbyist.
>>526169873All you need is a gun behind the counter...
>>526172733With 50 people around you sitting at tables? That's a recipe for disaster.
>>526172825It's the same principle as with refugee migration. You just got to shoot them once and it stops happening in the future.
>>526169873>Give me the fucking Charizard or this guy gets it! No, not with your hands, you idiot! Put it in a fucking sleeve or I'm gonna blow his brains out, I swear to god!!
>>526173594Right. You know what else will stop happening? Your customers coming back after you shoot at them.Now, I have qualms shooting an armed thief if the store were empty. But when you have all those innocent people around you a shootout is not the most intelligent thing to start.
>>526171144Bro I work with 25+ year olds talking about Pokemon cards and evolutions and shit like I'm riding the bus after school in 1998They're buying the cards just to open and have them worth money, like they're investing
>>526174038better than money
>>526173621>thieves start showing up with pelican suitcases and cotton gloves
>>526173968They should hire me. I don't give a fuck even if there's 20 of them.
>>526171144People who pretend like Pokémon isn't one of if not the biggest franchise on the planet should be ridiculed.
what was life like before shitskins ruined safe white western and asian society?
even nogs are going after Pokemon cards.everyone knows they’re easy to steal, easy to transport, and easy to flip.https://youtu.be/OBKRLvEI88A?si=MI09k3F1j-XQq8vo
>>526173968If you a pussy nerd gtfo out my store.If all them nerds ain't happy with a little spitting lead then I don't want them.
>>526174782It's a nerd store...
Its the fucking spics. They dont want to do real work like their father's did. Mowing lawns, laying bricks, and framing houses. They think they're hustlers buying up all the pokemon cards at msrp and reselling them at twice the price (scalpers). Now they won't even do that. Its 100% just to steal them. Surprised the spics didnt think of that sooner honestly, since it's in their nature.
>>526169873When I was in 5th grade in NC back in 2001 they banned them at school because a nigger stabbed a kid and stole his
>>526174625Team Rocket looks different than I remember
>>526174625store owner knew them niggers were guilty as soon as them zesty bucks walked in…
>>526171144I have the pokemon cd. To prove it Cherry Lane Publishing did the album. I still rock the techno theme remix. Fuck you faggot
>>526174461Why does George Lucas' gunstore have what looks like a tear gas smoke system that deploys when a gun is fired
>>526171144Theyw ere molested and now they play a childrens card game for access to children to molest. Like nintendo trannies.
>>526171144Crystal was the shit nigga, anything after that is garbage tho
>>526176259Automated smoke grenade.
>>526171144No shit, the last Pokeman I consumed was the 1st movie and it was literally called the first movie. How the fuck is this shit from the 90's not dead?
>>526176259Nerve gas..
What the fuck, please tell me which cards are the new Crack then. Because I still have some from 1999.
>>526174038They are investing. Unlike with a stock, where you don't even have a piece of paper saying you own something, you at least have that Pikachu.Markets are highly unstable and in the biggest bubble of all time now. Silver dimes, Pokemon, Silent Hill, and old-ass computers are where the smart money is.
>>526176259The nigger on the left shot the ceiling about 5 times. Drop tile ceiling took a second to start raining dust down.
>>526174625>E and J will no longer be taking trade-ins for cash or credit of Pokémon cards. If in the future things become safer and the Pokémon atmosphere becomes less violent, then we may reconsider that. But at least until further notice moving forward, there are no more Pokémon trade-ins at the store. It’s for the safety of myself, my wife, my employees, my customers, and my business.>things become safer and the Pokémon atmosphere becomes less violent>Pokémon atmosphere becomes less violent>becomes less violentis there anything they can't ruin?
Im here sitting on over 50 rare beanie babies as well as the 2004 complete NASCAR dinnerware setYour move faggots
>>526169873"Local man robs shop of single 1st Gen Mew, community in shambles"
>>526171144I still play gold on my Gameboy color when I travel because it doesn't need Internet and my rival is named NIGGER
>>526171144Nah it was good up until gen 4 ended and the homosexual meta game memes started in gen 5
>>526169873I frequent a flea market on a regular basis and one of the items that's there is pokemon cards. Guess who's buying the pokemon cards? It's grown men, specifically millennials. They get traded and bartered like it's serious business, as if the cards are precious metals. It's insane to see. As a millennial myself, I traded them in the from years 99-01 or something like that, it was fun, we were kids. But I don't see the grown millennials having much fun doing it, they're taking it seriously. It's not the way it was when we were kids anymore, I don't know why they are doing it.Not too shocking they are being stolen like this because the market for them is super hot, they will sell. The thieves know they can sell them easily.
>>526171238Hahaha first thing I thought of
>>526171748You guys traded baseball cards and pogs. It's like that but made a comeback. Why it made a comeback I don't know. I think my generation can act so childish because the world modernized while we were growing up, we experienced the humble pre internet and internet 1.0 dialup era, then everything did a 180, and it all happened at a crucial stage of development. This triggered something in them and they crave some sort of connection to that previous world. I can relate but I never did or will do the whole s0iboy thing.
>>526177982>old-ass computersThat market won't last much longer with emulation getting better. 86box has eliminated the mouse lag issue. Once it can be done multi threaded it's over.
Goddamn, this is actually brilliant. The type of person who plays those shitty cards games is an effeminate liberal faggot. Literally the absolutely prefect mark. I bet they'd even say some shit like.>Well, he had his reasons!More people should rob cardstores.
>>526183746I don't think anyone plays the game, they just trade the cards. Even as kids they weren't playing the game. Even 25-30 years ago only like 5% of the people who collected pokemon cards cared about the game. Those people were in the minority. You were lucky to find someone who even played it enough times to know the rules.
>>526169873it just shows you how small-minded criminals are, and how depraved our economy is to where children's games are a valid source of income.>Good times create weak men
>>526184341We've finally done it. We've memed fucking YUGIOH into existence.https://youtu.be/ZNmJA7ZJwTQ
>>526184825
>>526169873>there's enough nintendie manchildren out there to support a store dedicated to Pokémon cards
>>526183486Nobody cares about emulation or FPGAs for that matter.
>>526169873If the cops at a press conference don't say at least once>These criminals...we'll catch them all.Then it's a fucking travesty
>>526177088Hasnt been topped as an rpg. And its been disassmebled so you can change anything you want in it.
>>526171327>high T>into Pokemon Lol, ok.
>>526169873Pokemon, lmao
>>526169873Good. These are the fuckers who say we shouldn't have borders. They've been in their ivory towers collecting gay cards and now their pet niggers are fucking with them..
>>526169873An autistic boy murdered his father on his birthday after his dad took away his Switch. Gaystation fags will never know this feel
>>526171144Children get easily imprinted for life by the things that they are most exposed to as well singular extreme situations and sometimes just random shit. These people will be 90 and playing pokemon in the retirement home.It's why society used to get really uppity about literally everything exposed to children. They really will just play a baby game for children and never let it go.It's why some people cannot stand the taste of mayonnaise and doesn't understand why and it's because they ate one bad egg as a kid. Or why Star Wars fans are doomed to forever check out whatever horrid slop Yidsney has released.
>>526170925makes sensemy retirement fund is just a Base Set Charizard
>>526171144Literally me. Silver & Gold were more of the same shit, better Anime with bigger tiddies was out, and being a fan of Pokémon turned you into a social pariah. Still have my 1st edition shadowless cards minus Charizard. Traded him for some magic cards later on in HS. Damn do I miss the 90's.
>>526169873>Armed robbers steal $100,000+ Pokemon cards from store and customers in broad daylightGood I hope this happens more often, I'm sick of their Youtube clout videos coming up in my feed.
>>526171238>>526183011>https://youtu.be/4tkkXx7aPcsCrissy was ahead of his time. Real money in this, none of that nickel and dime shit.
Let's rip a card pack
