we are between greed and delusion right now

My Kingdom for a Lillie SIR.
>still buying vintage
>>57239537I would normally agree but everyone expects the crash to occur on the 30th. So it's like a Mexican standoff and guys will start selling a little early. Same thing happens with crypto. But with crypto the whales can push the price higher through big events to trick people into thinking the party didn't stop.
>>57239548>>57239537>>57239529>they didn't boughted and think it's gonna collapseoh nonono jajajajajaja
>watching a rip and ship streamer for PE >someone in chat says that pokerev was right and everything is getting pumped because of cryptofags>"well, actually, you should be grateful to us crypto degens because we're buying your bags!"I wish i was making this up
>>57239559>they didn't boughtedGo back brownoid, this isnt the first boom cycle we've seen
>>57239576You will never be able to afford pokemon cards, sorry timmy but it is what it is.
>no brown people in my area>PE opening day in my LGS was super civilized, limit of max 1 of each product per person, everyone got what they wanted at MSRPhmmm...
>>57239597brown bear?…
>still buying physical
>>57239529OP's pic is delusion
>>57239559>they didn't boughted
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.
>>57239648>your livelihood isn't correlated with how much money you make from selling Pokemon cards.They can get a real job that doesn't destroy something children like.
>>57239646>>57239576It's amazing how the boughted meme makes newfags seethe uncontrollably kek.
>>57239597>limit of max 1its fucking nothingcongrats on your shit pulls
>>57239537>30th anniversary will be New ParadigmIt's gonna be mid. What can they do? They just did 151 they can't do another KANTOOOOO pandering set so soon.
>>57239648>>57239660>YOU CANNOT JUST SELL POKEMON PRODUCTS AT THE PRICE YOU WANT TO OTHER PEOPLE YOU HAVE TO SELL THEM AT THE PRICE I AM WILLING TO PAY TO ME BECAUSE... B-BECAUSE OTHERWISE I'LL CALL YOU NAMES ON 4CHANNEL!!1!!!!
>>57239501This card is $9. It's not rare in any way. This plus the other promo cards almost equal the price of the whole battle academy set. Do investors just look up the best cards in a box and decide to pay just below the box price? How does the calculus work? I expected this card to be like $1
>>57239695You can do whatever you want but you are a faggot. The fact that we call you a faggot upsets you because you are in fact a faggot.
>>57239686>they can't do another KANTOOOOO pandering set so soon.They're going to keep milking 151. Venusaur and then normiezard. They'll probably do a pikachu 151 for the 30th and everyone will shit their pants.
Store had 2 Prismatic Evolutions, but everyone behaved nicely even though no one got oneSome fat fuck ugly woman wearing Nightmare Before Christmas pajama pants was bitching about promo cards and stuff though, fat ugly scalper probably 260lbs
>>57239686>they can't do another KANTOOOOO pandering set so soon.>Mega Evolutions on the horizonThey can and they will. You VILL buy the BLUE AND RED CHARIZARD AND YOU VILL LIKE IT
>x4 MSRP for battle partners box with no promo
>>57239735>Do investors just look up the best cards in a box and decide to pay just below the box priceYou people make me laugh. Have you never learned what "expected value is"? Just how uneducated are people in this general?
>>57239648Assuming this story is true, how is the dad such a pussy that he let the faggot get away with this? Like, this is not something that I would let fly by myself, let alone in front of (and for) my kid.
>>57239572>watching a rip and ship streamer for PE>being a TCGcuckold
PC didn't restock
>>57239759Imagine if they did a Cunny Partners box>Dawn>May>Serena>Mallow
>>57239783The real trick is bringing a knife with you and slashing people's tyres so they have to walk back with product, the hiring niggers to mug them
>>57239743I didn't buy any PE, though, you're unhinged.
>>57239686>they can't do another KANTOOOOO pandering set so soonThis is their front page right now.
>people paying more then umbreon vmax for the crown umbreon despite the fact that evolving skies pack aren’t made anymore so you can’t really pull the vmax anymore while prismatic evolutions will be made non stop for the next 2 yearsMental illness, it’s not even the scalpers that are ruining the hobby, it’s these low impulse retards paying triple for etbs and 2k on a card that just came out.
>>57239799If you carry and move your hand towards the gun they'll just drop the product for you, you don't even have to touch the gun, just make them think you're gonna do it.Works especially well in blue states.
>>57239804>year of eeveeI hope they go hard and burn everyone out of eevee shit for a while, it’s so annoying, makes me like eevee less
>>57239811Most of the people buying it do it to brag about how they "pulled" the card.
>>57239811>Mental illness, it’s not even the scalpers that are ruining the hobby, it’s these low impulse retards paying triple for etbs and 2k on a card that just came out.Ding ding ding, this anon gets it. Scalpers are a symptom of a wider problem. The real problem is FOMOing retards that want exclusivity and will pay anything for it. You'd think that most of these men (and troons) would be able to hold their impulses since most are 30-40, but no, they can not
Actually got some stuff today, at a higher price than normal but whatever I'll never see anything in stock anyway. These new foil reverse holos are pretty cool.
>>57239811This simply means Moonbreon is underpriced bro. Watch it skyrocket in the next two months.Screencap this post.
>>57239823>Screencap this post.Screencap your own post, you nigger
>>57239811Anon... this is a blatant pump operation. They aren't even subtle about this.
>>57239828Oh I will. You won't screencap it because if I'm right and Moonbreon becomes a 4K card it will make you even angrier.
>>57239695mad scalpie brownoid lol
BUY HIGH SELL LOW
>oh really? Well then you... you are brown!!>hehe got him
I just want to be sold the cards by a retailer that isnt run by scalping pajeets. Even pokemon center isnt putting up their stock
>>57239845Most scalpers in these videos are East Asian, most likely Chinese, Filipino, or Korean
The second best time to buy a moonbreon is now
>>57239859Sorry, I can't hear you over the boiling macaco soup jajajajaja.That's right, all your waifu cards are in my dirty favela house and if you want them still pure and intact you better pay a hefty price, lil timmy.
trying to figure out the best way to get the Umbreon, i have two extra Glaceons and an Espeon
Just fuck my shit up senpai
>>57239878I hope they remake the glaceon without the gems.
>>57239879>he boughted
>>57239878I thought I did bad with one ETB
>>57239879KWAB!
>>57239879>buying english
>>57239879Damn I will not be opening my PC ETB
>>57239879>opening scamatic devolutions
>>57239879thank you for contributing to cheap raifort cards
>>57239879>300$ for thisimagine... you could have bought a lugia from silver tempest...
>>57239879this is so cucked
>>57239879>pokeball holo maskholy shit we're getting masterball trainers too?
>>57239879>One of my tech sticker booster packs had Reverse Holo Archaludon and then normal Holo Archaludon right after.That's how cooked this set is, getting duplicates in a sealed booster pack.
i bought the eevee box for 27 dollars and its coming in monday
>>57239879
>>57239879I'm converting to a full singles chad. Maybe I'll write a little program that will order a random set of cards from my wish list so it'll be like opening a pack.
>>57239918This is what I got from mine if that further discourages, or encourages you
>>57239997why do you sleeve the energy lol
>>57239997All this from a single etb? that's pretty good
>>57239997I'm convinced they purposefully put more shitgerpon SARs and lowered the number of eeveelution SARs
>>57239648Get a fucking job, scalper. That's how you make your livelihood. You are just as bad as landlords.
>>57239994if you do hmu
>>57240004Yeah, single ETB>>57240002Because reverse holos are cute
>>57240004Pokecenter ETBs have more packs than a regular one froa store.
>>57239879This is fine because the Eevee PC alone pretty much covers the cost of 2 ETBs (at MSRP). You shouldn't open regular ETBs though.
>>57240030
>>57240030those aren't PC eevees though lol
>>57240030show a sold listing anon some nobody asking for that price is not the going rate
>>57239918me neither, mine get here soon. I’m only going to open one if the packaging is fucked because that kills the resale value and the promo is worth like $120 anyway
>>57240045it’ll probably go up in price because PC didn’t restock
>>57239997as much as I like ponpon and holo energies, this discourages me. I will probably get singles of those much cheaper later
>>57239648>scalping is not wrongi dont even need to read the rest of it
>>57240061nah it won't go up because TPC confirmed they're going to reprint the etbs throughout the yearthis is as high as its gonna get
>>57239811It's cope. Moonbreon 2.0 is like when retards were buying Bitcoin Cash because Bitcoin was "too expensive".
>>57240030>>57240061
>>57240091No they didn’t newfag. They’ll print the regular ETB’s a lot but they’ll probably do a small print run later in the year and then that’s it like they’ve done in the past for PC etb’s. PC ETB’s are supposed to be shorter runs
>>57239879>All that for reverse holos
>>57240117it should be like 5 dollars in a week
>>57240128nuh uh they've reprinted pc etbs before retard
>>57240140Yeah they’ve done small print runs that quickly went out of stock with in demand sets with valuable promos. The 151 ETB restock after the initial one lasted 20 minutes and then the promo is at a new all time high that’s way higher than release. Sorry, pay up
>>57240143>small print runshow do you know that the prismatic one will be a small print runwhen have they ever released a statement before a set release and put a notice on the literal product page that they are going to be reprinting this throughout the yearthis is unprecedented, sorry no one is going to buy your bags
>>57240150>when have they ever released a statement before a set release and put a notice on the literal product page that they are going to be reprinting this throughout the yearthis
>>57240150They didn’t say throughout the year you dumb faggot, that’s your headcannon. It says more will be available “later this year”. That could mean multiple large restocks, but if the past is anything to go by it’ll be another small print run that sells out immediately. I could easily offload the etb’s for a huge profit rn, lots of people are buying.
>>57240155this is about prismatic in general, the PC etb’s are always small parts of the print run and they don’t get reprinted often. I’m sure you’ll be able to buy the normal ETB easily
>still buying modern
>>57239811>buying an LP version of the card what the fuck could cause someone to do such a thing. The difference between 1700 vs 2000 is negligible. May as well get the card that is the best in this instance. If you truly don't care about grading and just need a copy for your binder, may as well get a mp copy for half price. Though, I'd still feel ridiculous spending 1000 on a busted up card.
>>57240198My question would be how it got to LP already. Did they just fat finger the cards as they pulled?
>>57239784Right? What the fuck is wrong with these """people"""?
>>57240202He coomed on it because it's based MOONbreon.
What is this pack? I found it at a store today, but I see it neither on tcgplayer nor collectr nor cardmarket.Mine only has two base SV packs in it but still, why can I not find this product anywhere on all these big sites?
>>57239958Item and supporter cards always had poke ball and master ball reverse holos.
>>57239958>>57240234pic related, same applied to 151 but I don't have any of those.
>>57240228some offbrand stores like dollar tree get exclusive single pack or double pack blisters sometimes that are not found in regular retail storesI remember both a toxel and oricorio promos from fusion strike were found only like this
BTC double top. Hope you guys are ready for pokewinter.
>>57240228What store did you find this in? I'm seeing a lot of results for SEA (Singapore, Malaysia, Philipines, etc.) with this blister pack. I wonder if TPC takes excess supply/inventory and sells them in overseas markets. Or like >>57240241said. Maybe these stores ship all their unsold inventory overseas.
>>57240256My version is in German actually, found in Germany. That's a pic from the internet. >>57240241I see, I guess yeah. Thanks.
>>57240254I hope every single cryptonigger loses his bags and leaves this hobby the fuck alone
WTFThis should be illegal!
>>57240279>$149.99
>>57240279Based
>>57240279>asking both moon prices AND cuttingI feel like you do either or Or maybe just limit it to 1 per person and make it 80 bucks or something, something in the middle
>>57240279HOLY BASED
>>57240279>ruins it>demands even more moneyof course it's Americans
>>57240279>Opens the ETB plastic>Weighs and cat scans the packs>Puts all the shitmon packs into the ETBs they're selling>Offers them for scalper prices>Puts up an anti-scalper sign for reddit pointsI fucking kneel
>>57240279>support your lgs :))>the lgs
>>57240198People will list NM cards as LP as a way to avoid disputes. If they list NM and it's not flawless some cuck will complain and try and get their money back. Listing it as LP covers your ass for a tiny up front loss in money.
>>57240279Based. Fuck them crypto kids.
I just think it's funny how people's tastes will be influenced so easily. I'm not talking about people who wish to pull or find a Sunbreon because of the value and maybe selling it, sure.But people who want it above all others for their own collection because they just love it that much. Do you really? You all happen to love this more than any other card, are you sure you're not just thinking you HAVE to want it for yourself due to everyone talking about it?
>>57240279>avoid scalping>selling at scalping priced by defaultHope a truck rams into his shop
>>57240311im pretty sure it means it gets cut when you buy it
>>57240234>>57240239oh I meant in English now but still pretty cool they released those back then
>>57240338When you consider that the shop got it for under MSRP even they're making even more profit off of it than a scalper who bought it from them and put it up for 150.Plus the scalper wouldn't cut it.
>>57240279>ETBs will be cutBased>150$ Cringe.They should have drawn a penis on the ETBs and sold them as following:Penis ETBs: MSRPNon Penis ETBs (only bought by investorcucks): 150$
What is CGS? I've been seeing japanese cards graded by them. Some nip grading company?
>>57240335>they just love it that much. Do you really? You all happen to love this more than any other card, are you sure you're not just thinking you HAVE to want it for yourself due to everyone talking about it?a tale as old as pokemans
>>57239501Are these two:>>57237744>>57238793fucking retarded or are they just pretending? They still haven't revealed every secret rare from Battle Partners, pretty sure they never officially do before release.
A local book store who has a tiny toys corner as well told me they could order 5 ETBs for me and have them here by tomorrowBut it was a girl who has zero clue about anything Pokemon and I really doubt this will happen... gonna be interesting to see tomorrow. That would be a miracle, they're selling at MSRP even.
>>57240370book stores are low key a good place to find gems. Someone in a discord I'm in found a 151 UPC there for msrp this week.

Grown men fighting over cards at my parking lot. At a Walmart
>>57240441>Grown men fighting over cards at my parking lot>Parking lot anon went through with his plan
>>57240441Film it anon. My money is on the skinnier mexican, he can run away with the loot
>>57240445based scalpoid punisher
>>57240441At this point im just waiting for restock/reprint. I just get mad seeing fags on twitter with like 20 ETB's and all the other shit that they bought from multiple stores. No point in competing with turbo autism when I like TGC casually
>>57240254double top is at 108, still a little bit more. I'm waiting for it to correct actually.
I don't play or collect Pokemon but I heard about the drama.What is the MSRP of the elite trainer box because I'm curious on how much my store is marking it up for to see how scummy they really are when they can get away with it
>>5724047850 burgers is the MSRP
>>57240480They are charging $120 the same as tcgplayer
Anyone know of a site/store that sells foreign singles? Ebay been bone dry since prismatic surge and only spot I've found is cardmarket that doesn't do international
>>57240489cardmarket does sell jap/korean/chinese singles though.
>>57240441>went to 3 targets>not a single scrap of a pokemon card anywhere>come home disappointed, look up situation online>the fattest mexicans fighting over pokemon cardsAt this point I would not be surprised at all if someone gets Water Gun'd down and faints from all the physical altercations going on, it seems like it would take an actual death for all trading card companies to stop this short printing limited run bullshit. I'm frankly surprised the government didn't step in after people hoarded essentials like toilet paper and water during COVID. Scalping is a legitimate issue and without regulations it leads to shit like this where people are basically rioting and fighting each other.
>>57240509its more an indicator that the economy is probably going to have a crazy depression soon
The bald streamer covered the Costco elbow thing. Get ready for an influx of even more normies into the space.
I also heard a rumor that distributors are probably doing backroom deals because it's abnormal that they suddenly didn't print enough product yet stores are not getting their allocation but retards on social media are.How likely is this
post cards
>>57240509So during covid target pulled all cards from the shelves because a gun was pulled in the parking lot over cards.Some people tried to jump a guy but he had a concealed permit and gun
>>57240521>I also heard a rumor that distributors are probably doing backroom deals>Anon discovers that distributors and LGS were the original scalpers
missed out on blooming waters at costco today.Are they restocking over the coming weeks or is this usually a one off shipment?
I told you that illegal aliens are just scalping white people hobbies. i bet more than half the mexicans at your local walmart, target, LGS dont even speak or read english. they are in it to take product off the shelves and demand you buy it from them at a higher asking price aka PURE SCALPERS.
>>57240528
>>57240545>People are now excited for reverse holos because of a ball textureMan people are retarded
>>57240501Cardmarket has alot I want but only for UK customers. Unless I missed something
ONE RACETHE RACE TO POKEMON CARDS.
>>57240279Incredibly based actually
>>57240528cosmo holos are something else
>>57240279So....to beat the scalpers he's gonna became a scalper?
>>57240528My favourite mon and my favourite card
Gotta catch 'em all!
>>57240596Did you win that in an Ebay auction?
>>57240582ive never seen that energy before, what's it supposed to be?
>>57240604it means no energy cost
>>57240509I live in a college town the only pokemon cards you can buy are the precon deoxys deck and all the repackaged cards from them trying to salvage theft. And this applies to any store in a 25 mile area
>>57240565If they are not private sellers you could try contacting the stores directly and see if they will ship or the easier way would be have a friend somewhere in Europe
>>57239879I can understand buying the box with the three promo eeveevolutions or the eevee binder because you get ensure goods, but the ETB is absolutely bullshit because the pull rates.
>>57239879>he bought?>switch the cards out for junkKWAB
>>57240602nah I just bought it off TCGplayer. don't remember what I paid.
>>57239942So many god tier vintage cards you could get for that much… why would anyone buy modern
>>57240589such a cute kusube art>>57240582the cosmos promos are so good>>57240596v nice anon
What do you think of someone that only buys stuff that has "ensured goods" like boxes with promo cards, binders or sleeves, milkboxes or even pre-made decks just because they like the cards on it?
Will this comes outside of Japan? I want the Iono's sleeves, normally I would also want the Lillie's ones but they aren't special like the Iono's ones.
>>57240563>because of a ball textureThe entire card is texture and holographic, these look fantastic, at least the Japanese version, haven't seen the English ones in person to judge their quality but I know they're at least trying to replicate the Japanese version, which is a good start.
>>57240667the english ones look like ass he's not wrong saying they're basically reverses
More like gay kwanzaa ex lol
>>57240677The only good Rayquaza cards are the ones with Zinnia on it.
>>57240685Zinnia is a shit tier character and I'm glad she got what she got in the manga.
>>57240688Yeah, but she has such a GOOD design!
>>57240690Güeras are better.
>>57240657whats wrong with that? nothing>>57240662lol no anon, get it from a jp reseller
>>57240636I have a pretty clean copy of N, unfortunately it didn't get the cleanest cut from the factory on one edge.my ire for TCPi is never endless.
>>57240528Behold Yugi, the legendary 3 Egyptian God Cards, ahahahahahaha!These 3 are the prize gems of my collection, but I'd never sell them. They are 3 of my favorite Pokemon and I'd like to have some naïve hope that they chose me to be their friend across space-time reality :)Now if only I could get an Umbreon as my 4th cornerstone to complete it...
>>57240704If you mean Nenoma, she has HORRIBLE CLOTHES! and her latino appeal means shit to me...because i am a latino myself and she is average as fuck for me.
Remember the infamous Gi-joe pokemon vintage boxes scam? They should make a collaboration set with Gi-joe just for the lulz and send the very first box of the set to the guy in question that got scammed.
>>57240685ye I like them too
>>57240730Ah Zinnia, such a good design wasted on a TERRIBLE character, at least Penny was ugly to begin with so she can ruin anything with her ugly personality.
>>57240715out of all the lugias that exist you picked that abomination?
>>57240739I don't buy cards on the secondary market I only buy packs and boxes. People love to jack up the prices on singles now that Pokemon is mainstream again. Someday though I'd definitely love to own an Asscheeks Lugia from Silver Tempest
>>57240747>againPokemon stopped being mainstream at one point?
*bumps*
>>57240736*can't ruin
Hey, bitch! Don't get in my way, I'm buying the whole shelf!
What did you... oh... wait a minute...
Reminder that the modern era 2020-2024 is a new era of mass graded Pokémon cards where tens of thousands of cards are graded.
ha... hahaha....I'm white! hahahahahahaha
>>57240750After Evolving Skies yeah it fell off for a while and I could start finding ETBS on Target shelves again but now the Eeveelution set drove everyone into a frenzy again
Where you going?! Don't you ignore me!! I'm selling at 150 a pop, they're going to the moon!!
>>57240762This is somewhat peculiar since the last generation, from 2016 to 2019, most people just graded Charizard cards en masse. but some other Pokémon such as Umbreon got a mass submission during this time.
>>57240764Oh, you mean Pokemon TGC specifically.also, for fuck sake, some annoying fucktard is spamming boondocks shit thinking they are "funny", you aren't, fuck off.
>>57240770Long term collectability is questionable, since the highest price Pokémon cards tend to be most expensive when the population count is a couple hundred or less. don't always just buy into the hype. The 2020-2024 era of cards are well graded and should be collectable pretty easily long term.
>>57240772No I'm talking about the video games in the trading card thread. dumbass
>>57240772
>>57240775and i was thinking in pokemon in general.
>>57240781Maybe try reading too next time.
