>still buying waifus
>mfw I see a cool card and don't watch any poketuber, check card pop or price history, and just buy cool singles.
I think it's time to admit this hobby is cooked
aw hell yeah maractusbros
>OH GOD OH FUCK PLEASE BIBAREL LET GO OF MY FUCKIN NUTS IM BEGGING YOU PLEASE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>57236669that's actually really nice, well done cactuslady
Should I try to get prismatic tomorrow or should I save my dignity and wait for the crash?
>>57236659Smoke and Mirrors.
>>57236466That's why I'm dumping all my money on Journey Together. Little kids are incapable of getting their picks hard at the thought of pulling a hot waifu card. I'll leave the Pikachus, the Umbreons, and the Charizards to the children.
I will not be buying any Prismatic. Ive spent more than Id like to admit on the Jap set and I have 65% of the SARs.
>>57236659MOONBREOOOOOOOOOOOON
>still buying physical
>still grading cards
>>57236780>still grading cards>(((psa))) raises prices againTHIS
>>57236788I do wonder why people bother doing this for junk rares, you see all these shitty EX FA slabs and you think, it cost you more to grade that and sell again than it would to sell raw
>>57236863BECOS ITS PEE ES AYE TEN IDIOT ITS WORTH 37 DOLLARS
>>57236642
Japanese card is superior because more carmine
>>57236666beautiful.
>buying sealed product
About to pay 130 usd for a prismatic ETB. Did I fuck up?
>>57236967Japanese card is superior because briar gets wazowski'd
>>57237045wait 1-2 weeks and buy it for the normal price.you're only going to pull shit anyway so why waste extra money?
>>57237045>prismatic evolutionsYou fucked up.
>>57237045yes
>>57237082>>57237094>>57237100Well that fucking sucks. I'm still new to the hobby and just brought it because English cards on good expansions (evolving skies, 151 etc.) are always out of stock and if they are, they're on ripoff prices anyhow. How much are burgers and Europeans paying for their ETB?
>>57237130>retard gives into FOMO instead of doing researchLOL
>>57237130Leafag here was 175 for my 2 pc etb. LGS wouldnt say what their pricing will be tmr, but I wouldn't pay more than that for a single etb
>>57237130Bought mine for retail. I've never bought anything for an inflated price
>>57237144>>retard gives into FOMO instead of doing researchthis but unironicallyit amazes me sometimes at how fucking stupid some people are in general
>>57236863the average person getting back in now is retarded. I've seen facebook normies talking about getting every holo they pull graded because they are convinced that they'll be worth something in the future.>>57237159this is why I refuse to join facebook or reddit and suffer seeing these animals and their sheer stupidity.
>>57236788the funniest part is there's better grading companies that aren't as bad as PSA but people are retarded and refuse to accept them.
>>57237130>Evolving skies>Good
>>57237167To be fair, this happens every few years. I deactivated my Facebook account a couple of years back, and every so often there'd be a viral news article about how much 1st Edition Zards or whatever, auctioned off, and I'd see feed highlights of people I know tagging and messaging each other saying they should check their cards out.For the record, I'm British, and we never got 1st Edition or Shadowless Base Set in any wide release over here, even hobby shops struggled to source it by the time Pokémania became a thing. So retards asking each other if they thought they had a 1EZard stashed away was extra stupid, because you KNEW if you had it over here. Likewise with some of the other big sellers, like Illustrator Pikachu and such, they I remember it being a big enough deal back in the late 90s that anyone who actually had these cards, knew what they were, even iin the 2010s.
Where do you guys usually buy your Japanese singles?
>>57237202Ebay
I like it.
>>57237208
>>57237208ON THE ROADFAR FROM HOME
>>57237208I am so fucking sick of Hop
>>57237130here in eu its 67 dollars for english set
>>57237208>More Hop wankWhen will it end
>>57236967YES I KNOW I NEED THE JAP ONE TO SHARPIE OFF KIKI FOR REAL
>>57237208Aw :)
>>57237209man I love ice (water) and grass cards, they usually have some of the best art
>>57237201there were ads on facebook from 2021-2023 advertising to millenials that they could buy sealed jungle and fossil packs from their website for $50 a piece. people were buying from this site and were given instructions not to open the packs to keep them sealed and more valuable. turns out that the contents were from SwSh basic energy packs. none of these people bothered to ask to see pictures of the product or do one iota of research.
Will Journey Together continue the reverse Holo balltism that we got with Prismatic Evolutions? Also the only card that I want is the Cubone.
He really can't stop eating shit, can he?
>still no prismatic
>still scalping modern
>>57237280>Not sclaping MedabotsNGMI
>>57237280he looks like this guy who'd shoplift magic cards from walmart, then come to FNM and try to sell them for $3 over MSRP.
my social media is now showing me ads for scalping courses, and not even in English, I hate you guys
>>57237289>using social media with adsngmi, I only get information from racists on poa.st
>>57237259Yeah, these hype chasing retards are an absolute pox, like locust. No higher thoughts, just chasing the next hype and money making grift
Just wish these scalping faggots would've left lost origins alone. Wasn't done collecting that set and these slackjawed faggots have bought up most of the msrp stock
>>57237299I've gone back to niche collecting, fuck modern (almost entirely, I'll knab some cards I like, of they're cheap).The hobby is so autistic and full of sneaker, crypto, and scalpers I don't even want to share the cards I collect cuz some douche will read it and want to buy it all up or some shit.
>>57237299>>57237309they're already posting about plans to scalp mcdonald's cards. absolute vantablack niggers.
>>57237314Keep telling you guys the only way to deal with scalfags is to rob them in the parking lot
>still buying vintage
>still buying
>>57237322I like delta species and I'm tired of pretending I don't.
>still embezzling happy meal cards
Can't wait for the 30th anniversary to come and go already, want these normie retards out of my tcg hobby
>still getting cucked by scalpers
>>57237335>still being brown
>>57237327
>>57237327Based, just bought a delta species Meganium not too long ago. such good looking cards
>>57237340I bought the hell out of them in 2007 because target had them in the $1.99 card box with packs of other rejected cards like score DBZ. best set ever.
The 30th anniversary we're getting an ultra premium collection containing a decks from pocket.
>>57237359>A card from pocketDear god in heaven, it'll be apocalyptic
>>57237208Some of the best cards are shitmons. I guess they try extra hard to put sovl in them.
>>57237208G*lar was so fucking shit and forgettable
>>57237335based
>>57236659Umbreon isn't even the fan favorite eeveelution, why are fans like this with the moonbreons?
>>57237404this, the fan favorite is Vaporeon
>>57237404>why are fansits not fans
ETBs are up at best buy. Best the bots.
>>57237412already sold out
>>57237130Its okay anon, you paid 80 dollars for a good lesson. Never buy higher than retail. NEVER, not worth it, you won't pull it. If you're american, you have the good stuff, free shipping with many stores, low prices on less desired stuff, and easy imports from japan. Enjoy that instead, don't waste time on the "YOUTUBE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS" product.
>>57237416I'm sorry man, I managed to get one. Wouldn't be surprised if it got canceled though.
>>57237202cardmarket
>>57237420The sad thing is that I'm not even buying from a scalper, the retail here in Thailand always jack up their prices because they know they got a monopoly on the English pokemon cards. A week ago I asked the cheaper stores deeper in the city and they all said they don't plan to even order prismatic or even more English cards and won't tell why, but it's not hard to guess when I could see that every other card store around them seems to have closed down
>>57237404Yes it is, it's the edgy cool one so of course it is
>>57237429isn't that just for europeans?
>>57237452only tourists believe this, like the ones who think the original charizard was good in the game.
So Terastal Festival boxes worth?And the Crown Zenith Secret's, Worth the price?The fucking Giratina is like $90+I'd rather have the JP versions honestly
>>57237450why buy english if ya live in thailand?
>>57237450you gotta find the ones where the ladyboys go. those are the ones where the best prices are.
>seeing people kill themselves over Prismatic>Already have my orders in for Journey togetherenjoying dying for a garbage set, normies
>>57237468>Implying Journey together will be any better It's the rocket set and ZA sets that will be the real ones to get
>>57237455there is english and japanese cards also there
>>57237468I have my 12 budews that I got from my LGS for a nickel a piece, so I'm done with PE. Until next set, vtroon.
>>57237481I meant they only ship to european countries.
It's almost 2am and I've been scrolling for hoursAm I gonna do this?
>>57237490Crown Zenith was such a great set
>>57237490CZ was awesome.
>>57237464Because not only I think the Thai font looks vile on a card, they also do their own 4kids-tier localization of the pokemon's name. Pic related, they're calling an Umbreon 'Blackie' in Thai.
>>57237487you can always ask the seller if they are willing to send it. Of course there will be people that reject it but there are willing people there.
>>57237500good bait
>>57237500>they're calling an Umbreon 'Blackie' in Thaiabsolutely based. I was wrong about SEAs.
>>57237500>They call Umbreon BlackieBased Ladyboys
>>57237501I'm moving back to austria in the fall, so I may just wait until then to start shopping there.
>>57237494>>57237498Such a kino setIO want the 4 secret's but they're so muchI'm eyeing another site with singles and Terastal boxesI got 2 in cartDebating 3If I pull jank in 2 boxes I'll just resell the 3rd box

>>57237404>why are fans like this with the moonbreons?Are any of the other eeveelutions worth more than a moonbreon?
>still buying modern
>>57236659Its at 700 dollars rn
>>57237327Is this supposed to be a hot take? What's next, you're gonna tell me you like Skyridge?
>>57237558yes
I HAD IT IN MY CART I WAS AT CHECKOUT AT TARGET AND IT FUCKING DISAPPEARED WHAT THE FUCK
>>57237589blame jeet coding, having it in your cart means nothing now anon
How am I doing so far?
>>57237459Nobody cares if Charizard is meta good, he's cool and on the box
>>57237459
>got up early for my LGS opening>no-one else hereBros... the market is dead
FINALLY A FURRET FULL ART
>>57237679
>>57237611I absolutely love that espeon. the art and holo is perfect. good luck with the rest of your pulls. I pet my sleepy eevee for good luck for you.
>>57237404Its been one of my favorite pokemon since its release.Pros of it being popular, lots of cool Umbreon stuff.Cons, is everyone fucking buys it all.What would you say the fanfavorite is if not Umbreon?
>>57236768>*cums and shits on his face*
>>57237679Wait, is that real? Did they show more Journey Together?
THIS IS AMERICA
>no SAR LillieMmmmh...
>>57237735yup. just look up 'justinbasil visual set journey together'
>>57237736Getting physical over merchandise always pisses me off. Such third worlder / low IQ behavior. And all this could be solved with a purchase limit and a queue system. Fucking retarded.
>>57237750Its cute. I want it. I've been "meh" on most of the cards in that set they've shown so far till that one. Some of the other illustration rares are real good too though. Was almost gonna wait till Black and White for me to go hard but we'll see if they put out more great ones for that set. Outside of N and Iono the trainer selection was a bit disappointing.
>>57237752dude with the cap in the end clearly pushed and shoved hard other people... cringe asf
>>57237736survival of the fittest
>>57237769good
>>57237558lmao basic bitches and their skyridge amirite
>open PE etb>get a grand total of 1(one, uno, Eén, 하나 , אחד , Oдин) Brassius FA at the very last card>that's itgod I feel burned
>>57237910I'm going to go to the target near me at open in just a few hours (figured I'd skip sleep since I was up with some friends all night). You have me worried for my pulls if I end up getting one.
>>57237340Same, I needed to complete my set
>>57237210YOU DON'T HAVE TO FEEL ALONE
>>57237201>For the record, I'm BritishI'm very sorry to hear that
>>57237941gold borders look so good
>>57237974Stop, I missed out on that card going cheap because I forgot to fucking put a bid in
>>57237130Ipaid msrp for mine and seriously considering refunding it because the set is just that ass.
Is XY still modern?
>>57238032>12 years oldAnon...
>>57237997what are the good current sets
>>57237045You'll know in a few weeks time if you fucked up or not.Or if you open it and get bad pulls or not.
This Prismatic Evolution stuff is no joke>walking through town to catch a train>pass by the local toy shop>there's a queue of about 50 people winding down the street waiting for it to openI've never seen anything like it, if they reprint this set like crazy hopefully the price of singles will be good
Got 2 ETBs here, each store had a limit of 1 per people but only 2 cases allocated to each store
>>57238127Im not waiting in a line for it.I am going to drive to the store in just a bit about 20 minutes before it opens to see if I can get an ETB or a booster or two and thats about it. If not, I know they have surging sparks in and I'll snag a booster or two of that and call it a day.
>was ready to skip journey together completely>articuno art rare from the same artist that did the paldean fates gardevoir announcedFUCK
>>57238127>>57237910
>>57238204Meant to tag >>57238105
>>57238206>>57238204Damn. Rough going anon.But look on the bright side. You only bought one. Sometimes the market gets crazy for shit like this when interest explodes out of no where.You didn't lose as much money as you *could* have.Unfortunately for this apparently pull rates are really rough.
>>57238217Yeah I'll stop on PE until the price goes back to sane levels, I'm sure it's artificially inflated because of investorfags anyways
>>57238077NTA but I highly recommend you check out Pikawiz to browse every set and see what cards you like and buy singles because boosters are a scam. also check out justinbasil to get a look at upcoming sets. you might want to save up for the upcoming team rocket set later this year.another tip: Japanese boosters have much better pull rates
>>57237500Blackie is the correct Japanese name though
>>57237752Fyi theres talk of removing or severely downsizing the amount of pokemon cards at walmart for this exact reason. That and the absolute nigger tier behaviour where they're opening as much product as they can in store and leaving out with jackets full of packs.>mfw since sucking sparks I've personally found close to 10k in empty etbs, tins, and boxsNot even the promos are safe
>>57238223Theres really no guarantee is the downside. 151 has been out what a year now but yet walmart puts out 20 boxes of say the Alakazam boxs you're almost sure to see 1 asshole go into debit just to buy them all.
>>57238228Nta either, but do you only buy singles?It just always seems weird to me when people say to never buy boosters, only singles.Part of the fun for me is opening packs, and if I just ordered 1 card at a time and put it in a binder, I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much. I won't buy boosters till I master set or get every card I want, but I'll buy a bit then go for singles after I've hit some packs and didn't get what I wanted.But to each their own.>>57238233>found close to 10k in empty etbs, tins, and boxsWhat?I mean I've seen a lot of opened products in stores recently as well, but I don't think anywhere near that amount.I did get a free promo card out of it though because some fag ripped through everything and left a promo laying there. They can't sell it at that point so I just picked up the promo and left since that was all that remained. Its pretty shitty though. I really hate how common this behavior is in basically all hobbies. Low IQ. Simple as.Unrelated, but what are those repackaged cards they sell at walmart?Theres no booster pack, just looks like a random assortment of cards in a plastic box to sell. Surely those can't have anything worth while in them right? I've passed on them every time I see them, and they are often times the only cards left in Walmart anymore, if anything at all. Picrel
>>57236659lmao
>>57237910Really only way to win with PB is to luck up and pull a god pack. Watched a guy on youTube manage to do it yesterday
>>57236719That is absolute cope and bullshit. When I was buying base set there were no poketubers around, you don't need to teach kids greed or hype, they manage to accomplish all that by themselves just fine in the schoolyard.>it's not my fault I'm greedy, the poketurbers made me do it!The absolute delusion people in here go through to deny personal responsibility is astounding.It's just cardboard, cry me a river.Pokerev did nothing wrong. Prove me wrong.
>>57237721>pullsOops all singlesI'm going to crack some packs and try for the full art furret when it comes in stores. Idk what is even out right now in Japan. Something EX?
>>57238244>>57238223I got back into the hobby because 151 tickled my nostalgia.I've still yet to see a booster pack in the wild for it.Surging Sparks has been fun for me though.I'd still like 151 though because I'm an oldfag and the art is really nice. I don't even care for Poliwhirl and I fucking love this card for example. At this point though I'm not gonna sweat it or dump my savings for it.Honestly I went too hard on Surging Sparks in its place when I got back into this as it is, since it was at a time when I shouldn't be spending a ton of money, and kind of still is.Seeing everything flying off the shelves hit me with that "now or never" reflex when I saw something in the store. But its okay. I've slowed myself down since I got that "open some packs" itch out of me.
>>57238247Yeah ap doesn't care enough to monitor the shit because it's a vendor item and doesn't effect the stores profits so you have a couple guys coming in in the evenings and taking multiple etbs, tons etc to a blindspot and ripping em.Its one thing when it's a box here or there but I could walk through at night and pull 10 empty etbs
>>57237130Italian. 160€ for 2 etbs. Still a bad price, etbs should be around 50 bucks at most when they're in print.
>>57238269Thats wild.You'd think they'd be worried about their faces being on camera. But I guess low IQ, low impulse control. They just go for it.
>>57237997Things that didn't happen.
>>57237736>>57237764https://x.com/DramaAlert/status/1880044660720279713A few other angles.That dude in the hat is absolutely a massive faggot. I don't blame the asian looking dude in the green coat one bit for trying to take something from him at that point. Just fucking trying to brute force his way to all the boxes taking from everyone around him. Fuck that guy.
>>57237223Where?It's 95 on cardmarket.https://www.cardmarket.com/en/Pokemon/Products/Elite-Trainer-Boxes/Prismatic-Evolutions-Elite-Trainer-Box
>>57237359>>57237361How does Pocket even work? Does it have completely different cards from the tcg? Does it have only a curated few? Is the gameplay the same?
>>57237459I know this will be a big revelation to you but we kids didn't even play the game back then, we just liked the cards. No one cared what cards even did.
>>57238303Daily booster pack draws 2 times a day (once every 11 or 12 hrs)5 cards per pack.Sets are unique to TCGP but reuse other card art. There might be some original art in there? I'm not 100% on that.The gameplay itself is simplified version of actual pokemon TCG almost functions like a quick version of Hearthstone with more "coin flip" abilities. Each turn each player generates 1 energy they can distribute to pokemon. First to knock out 3 of the opponents pokemon wins. Knocking out an Ex pokemon counts as 2.
>>57238314True. I didn't even know how to play the game until the Gameboy Color game taught me, and once I was done with it, I completely forgot again.I did play Yugioh and MtG though. Pokemon was for collecting, those two were for playing.
>still buying sealed
>>57238077crown zenith>>57238283cope. pull rates are abysmal and 90% of the SARs suck
Are prices of singles likely to normalise? I'm interested in the half arts of Glaceon and Vaporeon and I'm hoping that the prices will be lower just because people are looking for the SIRs.
>>57238316Sounds like shit. My friends play on live but coming from magic I just can't bring myself, it's too dumb as a game.
>>57238327You suck.
>>57237736>Oops! Something’s gone wrong. Let’s get you back on track, Trainer.
>>57237736>fighting crowds >paying scalpers>waiting in line hours before a store opensNormal fags are the worst. I've forged relationships with my local pokemon dealers and gamestop wagies. Procured exactly 2 ETBs at MSRP for me and my gf to open this afternoon together. it doesn't matter if we pull anything good or not. We just like ripping some goddamn packs and building decks we never play with. High value cards get sold/traded to kids at an extreme discount so they don't give up the hobby because of these goddamn animals.
I never understood wanting to go through all of that. Just order from home and if you miss it get it when it restocks. Pokemon is fun to play and collect but these people have one of the worst type of brain worms
>>57238077twilight masquerade mask IMO
>>57236788>Pull an Umbreon >Pay 999$ fee
>>57238325that's a juicer
>>57237209Damn now I can't skip this set. At least it's not a SAR hope it's a cheap single.
>>57238280Yeah it's one of the reasons cards were largely pulled from walmart before in what 2020/2021, vendors were losing their asses to theft and walmart itself was catching shit for people fighting.Only alternatives is putting em in glass cases or up at the service desk in which both cases you have to deal with disgruntled Laqasha or a wider rollout of the vending machines
>>57238512Pokemon stuff has been behind the counter or in cases for years here in the uk
PC website is so overloaded right now I cant even login to my account and the shit hasn't even released
>>57238534Unless you're running bots yourself you're probably not getting anything PE related. Bestbuy was an absolute 5 minute shitshow made worse by the terrible design of the site.
>>57238561I missed out on best buy because I was sleeping and didnt expect the restock to happen before buttfuck early in the morning
Somehow they managed to fuck up a set featuring N and Lillie.
>>57237335>he does it for free
There was a single pack of 151 hiding behind a bunch of baseball cards at my local target. All the other 151 shit was gone. I bought it and opened it in my car. Ended up having the Charizard. Did the person who hid this pack know? I didn't know that was possible with modern packs.
>>57237736Is there anything more vile than "pokeinvestors"? Fat people in shorts with caps and neckbeards violently pushing others to the side while shouting to grab some product
>>57238189Just buy it as a single, its not complicated
>>57238228incorrect, japanese BOXES have much better pull ratesyou should never buy loose jp boosters, they will come from boxes where they already got the box SR
Prices are always weird to me. Why is one IR 300 bucks and another 30 if they have the same pull rate and pack price? Who knows, I even think the cheaper one looks better Also Shrouded Fable is underrated.
>>57238261Battle partners (jp journey together) comes out on the 24th.
Just hit up my local target.They didn't have any out, and were saying they had none in the back. Ran into a friend there who let me know about a store or two who put them out yesterday sadly so not gonna bother checking those today. Oh well, is what it is.>>57238354Its just a time killer really. Not something I'd play for extended periods.>>57238658I still wonder why, considering how massive Pokemon is now, that they still have staggered releases for Japan and the rest of the world.
>>57238654demand
>>57238662do you really think a japanese company wouldn't put japan first kek
>>57238664Yeah sure, that's my point. People have shit taste sometimes and don't appreciate the pretty stuff enough.
>>57238654>why do people want some things more than others?
>>57238669It's not about the art, it's about the pokemon itself and then the art.No one cares abotu Chiyu. No one even knows it exists.
>>57238667Unfortunately many JP companies are globalizing and standardizing global releases. I don't agree with this in the slightest and actually think that they should 100% ignore the western world when it comes to many things as I think they often influence things to the detriment of the product, art, whatever it is. However I am just saying that I'm surprised out of all the companies now prioritizing global releases, that the pokemon company does not do this for cards, especially with how big its become.
>>57238669>that's my pointyou're retarded
>go to my local supermarket for groceries>overhear someone asking multiple times the info desk if they have PE in stock and if they're sure about it and if they can recheck and when will it be in stock >turn around to look>balding lanklet in his 30s>audibly "tch"ed and scrammed when they said nothe meme is real, well I guess he wasn't brown so not entirely /tcc/ lore accurate
>>57238669Just buy the things you like. Good cards will eventually shoot up in value, investor retards are just now realizing how good the average SWSH ARs are after sleeping on them for years because "they aren't valuable":
You just accept that Memebreon has to be worth that much because other people say so.Let's see those ~20k ge m mint Memebreons all being sold and how much demand there really is.
>>57238669I agree with you, but in some cases they are right. The new Umbreon (really all the eevees) are very pretty this time. I think the old Moonbreon is just "meh" and I say this as someone who actually does have Umbreon in my top 5 favorite pokemon.That Chi-Yu card is great though.I'm tempted to purchase picrel because I loved this card and pokemon.
>>57238697Thats a good card.
>>57238714Anything with a terra crown looks dogshit
BW to SM full arts are way more sovlfvl than SS/SV ones
I was able to buy one (1) tech sticker collection for prismatic at the local storesSaw some nerd scalpers rushing about
>>57238739You should have flipped it to them LMAO
I just want to rip more Crown Zenith stuff but we reached the point where anything with them in it makes a single pack cost a minimum of ~7€ here. I think the time to have fun and rip them is over...
>>57238734I don't agree that ANYTHING with it does.But I do think the Tera crown actually hurts the designs a lot. But the Prismatic Eevee's card designs in general more than make up for it. Those cards look really great.I do hope the price drops because I'd like to buy just the Eeveelution SIRs from that set and nothing else.
>>57238762>>57238734At least tera crystals are better than rainbows
>Eevolutions are for homos and single women>Realize this set is largely bulk garbage>Decide to hold my cash for better sets that are out now and for down the lineHave fun with your fomo bulk, scalpfags
>>57238697bought this when it was $2 lol
>>57238767Based Kiara hater
>>57238782Its still pretty cheap. Sub $10.
>no lillie SIRthis shit for real

No Prismatic for me this morning but I did get a booster of surging and got. So thats nice.

>>57238824still better than what my daughterfu Chicken gotmy girl deserves better... Wish she had an trainer gallery Rowlet card or something.
>>57238793wtf are you serious I spent $185 for a scalped booster with the promo whats the point of if theres no lillie sir insidethat my fucking rent
>>57238857Blackie!
This general fucking sucks, even worse than generals do, and might be one of the worst on the board (incredibly high achievement on a containment board).Every thread is just 40 or 50 people posting inane forced memes and other template shit, a bunch of people bitching about the same ecelebs and reposting the same pictures of cards from 5 years ago. I miss 2019 when we could have good threads.
>>57238895it's okay lil bro you'll pull the moonbreon eventually
Why did people expect Prismatic to have a SIR Lillie now?
Scalping is not wrong.It's easy for you to pretend you have the moral highground when your livelihood isn't correlated with how much money you make from selling Pokemon cards. Following msrp is dumb.
I hope this set gets printed into the ground
These threads are moving fast now. My prediction that Pikachu and Pocket would increase interest in the TCG seems to have mayerialized. I'm glad I escaped the clutches of the TCG for now, it seems like a shitshow. I'll wait for the cycle to reset and for it to cool down, on the one hand it seems unlikely, on the other it always happens. Good luck collectors.
>>57238905>it's not wrong because I chose to make "professional pokescalper" my career and job
>>57238900they're talking about the next Japanese set which is slowly getting card reveals
>>57238908Get over it boomer. Pokemon cards are part of sneaker head hype culture now.
>>57238915Where are these reveals happening?
>>57238918Did the sneaker hype cool down or I'm I just unaware because I'm not in that world?
AMERICANS who buy Japanese cardsWhat are the stores you guys use? Seems like we're cucked into English being all that's easy to search for, with few exceptions. >eBay Literally the only place you can properly search Jap cards>Yahoo Japan/JP MercariGood but not simple since you need a proxy etc>CardrushOverpriced without pictures >US MercariWent to shit years ago>CardmarketYuropoors only>MarketplaceIf you're a normalfag sure, besides who wants to deal with sweaty neckbears irl?>le LGS>implying
>>57238920hell nahI met a girl playing cards actually, and she's a sneaker head, it's still pretty much alive from what I gather from her
>>57238920Sneaker scalping isn't as big as it used to be some years ago but Pokemon has been growing a lot in that regard
>>57238918Kinda makes me sad, if a kid get a booster as a present and gets a god pack or something, the parent might take it away, or maybe he will realize through social media that those cards are worth something and won't even want to play with them.Every pack should have 1 guaranteed SIR. New cards that aren't even released yet shouldn't cost $1-2k, it just ruins it for everyone, and most of the people that actually buy those for those prices are just going to put it inside a drawer and then buy the next thing.
>>57238920Because (((adidas))) cancelled Yeezys so the hype beasts had to move to something else which is Pokemon cards.
>>57238895>I miss 2019 when we could have good threads.>2019 having good threadsOkay scalpfag
>>57238928>the parent might take it awayThere is nothing new about that.
>>57238920Sneakerfags got left holding bags, so theyre looking for the next hot thing
>>57238922>What are the stores you guys use?We're not telling you scalpfag
money well spent?
>>57238936Not when the kid didn’t do anything wrong but just open a pack
>>57238734It's tera, not terra for fuck's sake. Terra is something else.
>>57238944I'm too poor to scalp you fucking brown retard. I bet you're a zoomer shit too, I've been collecting since before your dad even came out the closet.
>>57238951Terrable post
>>57238922Bro stop asking, just use ebay. The proxies are easy to use but it's the same as ebay and you can get screwed on shipping and might end up paying more than ebay.
>>57238714The old moonbreon is much better than crystalbreon. I'm afraid you have a case of shit taste.
>>57238955>I've been collecting since before your dad even came out the closet.>Asking where do you buy japanese cardsKek no you haven't you liar
57238895What the fuck are you talking about?>>57238900It obviously will, they haven't released all the secret arts yet.
>>57238961Eh.
>>57238950Friend in the context of getting something valuable.
>>57238968A lot of detail is lost in digital, look at a good picture.
>>57238988>Explains why you're so ass hurt>SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE TO BUY JAP CARDS NAO, IM A LIFELONG COLLECTORRRRLearn to google scalpboomer
>>57238988>Is there a better alternative or not?There isn't. Next thread you'll ask the same thing, then the next after that. Just ignore the knowledge and experience of everyone that has been doing the same thing for years. You know better, you are smarter, you will find a super secret method that will save you $0.01.
I'm tired boss
>>57238808Pikachu. What more do you want?
>>57238996nta but you're dumb, you can't say one card is better than another and then say to focus on details that have nothing to do with the art
Been pulling alot of lost origin lately, want to sell the doubles and triples ive accumilated. How likely am I to get hosed on Ebay if i list them on there?
>>57238996Was gonna say that applied to the new Umbreon card too, but >>57239008 basically did it for me.It probably looks real nice in person especially with a holo night sky and all.I just think artistically the new one looks nicer. And in the videos I've seen of people with it, I just think it looks very cool.
>>57239012People got tired of answering your question a million times. Just use ebay, stop being a whiny bitch, faggot.
>>57239012>Hope you all die poor and alone, and that you lose all your cards in a bloody natural disaster.THE ANSWER IS EBAY YOU SCALPING FUCK
