Sky High EditionPrevious Thread: >>57239501FAQ: https://pastebin.com/MypNBzca
>>57241742I found out my childhood cards were all fake today. Emerald era master sets, all fake....
still my favorite glaceon.
>>57241756How? Did you only ever buy singles from some shady lgs?
I want to crack open some packs while I am in Japan, what do?
>>57241764flea markets tend to have them, same with places like game exchange.>>57241784go get some nigga
I love Ririe
>>57241790>get someWhich ones are even out I should get? I started buying singles and then started going through bins of cards and now I NEED more cardboard
>>57241756any pictures?
>>57241799151 or Prismatic Evolutions in Japanese
>>57241764>>57241790Exactly that. I grew up around Chinese markets, the type to sell crappy Disney knockoff sticker books for $2 and blow up plastic hammers. Family was poor and saw it as the best option. It's got nostalgia but their value is completely gone.>>57241805I haven't the heart to even look at them again, sorry anon. They're convincing though, pretty 1 to 1 with the originals except they're not foiled when they should've been.
>>57241816how did you find out they were fake?
>>57241815I saw a prismatic box with a free nymphia yesterday fugg, I should have bought it
>>57241617we really need another set like shrouded fable. lots of play value and decent cards and all of the scalperkikes and investoors act like it's toxic.
>still grading cards
>still buying physical
>>57241827I wish people would stop grading everything, I have cigarette pack cards I'd love to slab because they're from 1901-1904 but there's always so much congestion.
>>57241820The coloring on the backs were WAY too bright or dark, the print quality was pretty bad on some of them, again no foils when there should've been, ones that do have foils are peeling. To be fair (cope) I don't think all of them are fake. Some I specifically remember getting from official deck boxes so no clue.
No way this ugly fucking card is this much
i wanted to go buy singles to my lcs but there was a lot of people playing so i got nervous and left...
>>57241856Not even the japs want it. Prices right now are too inflated, every card will go down 50% or more in a couple of weeks.
>>57241839id be interested in seeing some pictures. how did it take you so long to notice?
>>57241870Because I totally forgot I had them. Was visiting parents and they mentioned offhandedly that I had some trading cards in the attic. Lo and behold. Maybe when i visit them again tomorrow I'll take them down again and snap a pic.
>>57241836better to grade it now than later. they are actually pretty good turnaround times now.
does this card count for a diancie master set, its a pikachu but he's dressed like her and im not sure if i should put it on the list...
>0 sells>2k+Yeah right. Get fucked.
>>57241908it always seems to take longer when a new pokemon set releases. at the tail end of hype for SC I was able to get some negro league stuff graded and sent back within 2 weeks. after surging sparks dropped it took 45 days exactly.
>>57241917What is the point of this scam? The only way they are getting the money is if some retards pays them outside of ebay.
>>57241949I don't think it's even scam, it's probably some randoms that got the umbreon.
>>57241912yes
Got my 4 Pokemon center PE ETBs today, I'm selling 2 and holding 2 but it's so hard not to rip into one lol
>>57241962>that card costs more than the rest of the entire collectionwelp time to start saving for it then, glad there's nothing i want in the next 2 sets so i can use those funds for it
>>57241973sell 1, rip 1, hold 2.
>>57241949Hanlon.
>>57241880shes LITERALLY me
>>57242019except you're a tranny.
Just opened two Terastal boxes>Beldum masterball>gold Walking Wake>Ogerpon SIR>Sandy Shocks SIRI paid double msrp Japanese for these.
I often wonder why they bother making those 3 star gold cards. They're always ugly as shit and fetch lower prices compared to 2 star SIRs despite being rarer.
>>57242021do you think about tranners a lot?
>>57242092I wish I knew man it's bizarre I keep getting cucked by these "rarer" cards.
>>57242097Imagine opening PE for a sweet SIR eeveelution and getting gold Iron Leaves lmao, I feel for you anon, I'd cry.
>>57242092It's collector bait. That's why I wish each pack had a guaranteed SIR
They could solve this ridiculous nonsense by vastly increasing the amount of rare cards printed per set. When there's hundreds of thousands of these Umbreons the scalpers will just give up.
>>57242106But then you kill the hype beast psa grader market and Pokemon cards go back to being for lamewads.
>>57242105God that would be a breath of fresh air. Commons, couple rares, 1 card of random rarity, and 1 SIR. Paldean Fates should've been that with the amount of baby shinies that set had but alas their pull rates were dogshit.
>>57242109Good
>>57241857>want to go to lgs to buy some cheap vintage singles to add to my binder>dudebro central because MOOOOOOOONBREON so everyone is fucking flooding the store giving nobody any breathing room to look at cards in peace
>>57242109>Pokemon goes back to the days of packs sitting on shelves for months at a time, buyers getting weird looks from people wondering why they're buying a kids card game and the singles market barely tops out at $10 for full arts.Please God
>>57242128It's crazy how they all look like this unironically.
>>57241682Which Ogerpon SIR were you looking for? I'd trade you kek
>>57242137you really like this image huhwhy do you like it
>>57242140pokerev lives in my head rent free
>>57242128haha yeah new set release is gonna be super busy, best to go peruse in a few days in a weekday for the most peaceful moments
>>57242128Vintagefags are unironically worse than modern zoomers
>>57242161Vintage is justifiable because the sets are super old, and the cards weren't super rare either. Almost every kid had a 1st edition Charizard that they actually played with on the playground.Making these SIRs extremely rare in newer sets is dumb because the only ones buying them will be people who don't even like the hobby. Nobody will be able to use the cards, so you might as well just print the picture without the words.
>>57241742>Still Metal Detecting Modern
>>57242151you're allowed to play them at regionals if you're japanese
>>57241742>Still embezzling happy meals
>>57242151how is ur opponent supposed to know what your card does? lol
>>57242190>>57242208I posted it in the wrong thread, but MTG doesn't have a rule preventing this and it hasn't caused any issues to my knowledge since you can ask for the card translation from a judge.
>ETB shipped >being delivered by FedExFuck. They always fuck up their orders.
>>57242161>shittuberyou're not any better
>>57242182Unironically been thinking of getting some, ahem, "proxies" of SIRs because I'd never sell them if they were real anyway and I just like the art so why bother buying ETB after ETB chasing a specific card when I could just go on Aliexpress and get a high quality one for $2?
>>57242233>"proxies" of SIRsbased Rahjinalet
>>57242240Collectors can get fucked, I just like the pretty pictures.
>Still selling packs on stream but metal detecting the packs before I go live and removing the packs with hits from the box. But opening packs with hits for my puppet accounts so the stream thinks they have a chance. Resealing the booster box before I go live so it looks like a sealed product opening when I go live. >Still camping outside of Costco to buy out the entire pallet even if women and children are behind me crying so I can sell them on eBay and market place for a profit. >Still making YouTube videos to pump up the products I'm holding so I can sell for more profit.>Still buying damaged cards for cheap and altering them with card care and humidifiers and grading NM or GM with PSA and straight to auction on fanatics for massive profits.>Still Gaslighting people by calling them Timmys of the hobby.>Still searching vintage booster boxes packs for Charizards and replacing it with a NM Mr. Mime I bought for cheap on eBay, then resealing the packs and selling them as heavy packs.>Still buying a card that's usually very expensive but getting it for cheap because it's damaged, then buy a NM copy on eBay and say it arrived not as described and damaged and upload the photo of the damaged card to get expensive near mint cards for free once eBay issues me a refund. Why are you guys even participating in this market with all these immensely pervasive scams happening? I don't actually do this shit btw (of that wasn't obvious) but holy shit.
Apparently the new Umbreon card is not that rare to pull out of a pack. I can’t wait for the reprints and high pop PSA 10s. Kek.
>>57242250You faggots said the same thing about Moonbreon...look at it now, cockass bitch.
>>57242248who is even buying it from ebay etc. Who is that dumb?
>>57242250source?
>>57242256This is all new levels of cope.
>>57242268If you look at sold listings, it might be the most bought card in the set.
>>57242233I bought these fakes recently because I really like this Giovanni card. they normally go for several thousands. I'm never selling my collection so why not.
I like how PokéTubers are gaslighting their own followers who complain about their negative impact on the community.>You're not a true fan that just likes the art, of you were a true fan that collected for the art you'd buy the cheaper Japanese cards!!No, the text is a part of the card, I enjoy the flavor text and sometimes the abilities coincide with the art, you lose the ability to appreciate this in languages you can't read.>I'm not depriving a generation of children of their cards and toys!!! Kids don't care about what cards they open or what cards they get.Yes, they absolutely do, we literally all wanted Charizard or whatever favorite as a kid. >Scream at people for buying packs on rip & ship streams, until your friends and buddy YouTubers start doing it. Then start promoting it and tell people they are Timmys of they don't buy packs on ur stream for over MSRP then get mad when ppl want their bulk despite telling people they're fake fans for only wanting expensive cards.YouTubers are an absolute cancer on the hobby. Especially the ones that point fingers at others.
>>57242289Based, I'm about to do the same with Vmax Espeon, I really like that card.
>>57242289>I'm never selling my collection so why not.famous last words, anonfag
>>57242161go back to /vt/, vtroon.
>>57242140he embodies the typical numale consoomer that's recently joined the hobby like that pajeet deeppocket.
>>57242082the trick-or-trade cosmo with the stamp was 6,000,000 times cooler than this.>>57242095I don't have to when I'm forced to see them in every space related to autistic hobbies, like that Louie Anderson looking troon on youtube shorts that spergs out about shitty modern slop art.
>>57242294my favorite part of this is seeing washed up MtG finance kikes like Rudy show up and then try to gaslight everyone into believing they've always been a fan.
>>57242303>deeppocketpretty sure he's a spic
>>57242332diglett thumbs is still brown.
>>57242223japanese TCGs have a dumb rule about using asian languages because of yugioh players getting high dollar cards for pennies on the dollar and not giving upper deck entertainment any money.
Haven't ripped Pokemon in forever. Came back to Prismatic and pulled a Demi-God pack. Was pretty fun 8/10 would rip again
>>57242350Literally that Hippopotas is better than anything I pulled from the one ETB I managed to get. But grats!
is a charizard upc+$50 a fair trade for a 151 upc?
>>57242382Which one do you want more?
>>57241917>and its only going to get worse for invoosterfags once the new prints start rolling outBeautiful isn’t it?
>>57242256Calm down Jose, it’s just the facts
>>57242387I want the 151 since the charizard upc I have is just a spare it looks like it went up in value recently just wondering if my offer is fair
>still buying modern
I just bought ¥8000 in singles (5)Rip money >>57241815No one has any in stock lol
>>57242419The ritual posting wasn't that bad at first, but now it's 15-20 posts every thread instead of 1-2.Would be nice to go back to it just being houndoom and not all the extra shit.
>>57242419>deleteduhoh janny is doing the ritualposting
>>57242403I'd say it is. Charizard doesn't have much wow factor and the only reason it's gone is likely because people figured out it has Evolving Skies boosters in it. 151 at least has interesting promos and that 151 meme factor. +$50 feels like a bit of a stretch considering that's MSRP for a good chunk of the 16 boosters. It's such a retarded consoomer driven set but I do believe it could be reprinted several times. I dunno anon, it's really up to you at the end of the day.
just catalogued a lot of shit I keep on hand to trade with others it's like $2500 worth of garbage lol
There is a severe lack of Lillie cards in Journey Together. We still don't know what the full arts look like.
Is there a good phone app that can be used to catalog all cards you have?
>>57242467collectr
>>57241784>in Japan, what do?go the the nearest pokemon center you fuck. jesus h lmao. buy 151 or ask them for the most current set of scarlet & violet
>>57242486This. And go early in the morning because I've been there (the tokyo skytree pokemon center) and it was jam packed with people around 11am on a Tuesday. Search online for the packs you want as a reference so you can easily identify them because imo the Jap boosters have terrible designs. Look up if any place or product is offering exclusive Japanese cards because they will ALWAYS be worth a shit ton (here's to you, Pikachu stamp box). And don't eat in the Pokecafe, the food just isn't that good and it's clearly designed for children not adults.
>>57242457I'm very excited to get another N trainer card. I'm very happy with what's been shown so far because we finally get a Furret full art.
>>57242457cunnychads we stay hopeful
>>57242502I wish they brought back tag teams.
>>57242502this set is screaming pure mid, just what we needed to calm things down
>>57242454As much "fun" as opening packs was when I came back recently, I realized the biggest problem is even when you come out ahead with high valued cards you can sell off to "make back" your "investment" you end up with a couple hundred fairly worthless cards you can't do anything with. So worthless, that even spending time trying to offload them is probably more trouble than it's worth cause who's gonna fucking buy it? Maybe a few people will, but if you're not actually running a store, in person or online, you've got to go through that entire process to sell them and you're already competing with people who have an established record and are doing this as a job. Nominally you've got an okay amount of money "in" those cards, but there's basically no way to actually exchange them for that value.The practical thing to do is just throw them in the trash, but unfortunately I'm too autistic. Probably just going to go with singles from now on, frankly.
>>57242510>this set is screaming pure midspeaking of mid sets why do people like prismatic evolutions so much??
>>57242539bandwagonging invoosters and dudebros trying to make a second moonbreon 2.0 happen because they missed out on the first one
how long until they release the "investment" is trash
>>57242539Eevee and its evos are casual b8
>>57241973Get a job.
>>57242539>speaking of mid sets why do people like prismatic evolutions so much??because of the based ogerpon SIRS
Buy
>>57242547why haven't regular people caught on that it's gambling, with a card game as a bonus? everything becomes easier and more fun that way.
>>57242510Never understood the owner's Pokemon hype, don't give a shit. Was excited for the Rocket set but they're apparenrtly all Rocket's Pokemon instead of Dark Pokemon so it's just the same lame shit.
>>57241816I’ve got a couple dozen very obvious fakes of DP sets from when I went to Hong Kong as a child. Incorrect fonts/symbols, misspelling, flimsy material, the worksFeels good being able to get the real thing as an adult, especially Great Encounters Cresselia which was a favorite of mine even as a fake card.
There are a surprising amount of people going in debt for a children's card game
>>57242576>they let morons like this into collegelolelmao
>>57242576How the fuck did a 20 year old get a credit card with a $6k allowanceI'm calling bs
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.
>>57242590stop forcing this meme
>>57242510It's slready better than prismatic thougheverbeit
>>57242590scalping would not exist if retarded people stopped buying it overpriced on ebay.
>>57242576Like someone said above, or in a recent thread, it's just the usual lower-middle class/poor investment mistakes. They perceive it as an easier avenue to wealth generation, but lacking experience with money management they fall into the trap of spending and spending until they finally realize they've fucked up.At least this idiot here can still come out ahead presuming his supposed collection value is something he can actually realize and not just him also not knowing some cards just aren't going to be worth the time and effort to unload. Who cares if you have 1k+ USD in cards if they're all common garbage no one's going to buy?
Picked up the latios to go with the latias I pulled, glad it wasn't the other way around
>thought I was going to steal one of my grail cards on buyee>some retards had a bidding and now it's overpricedNot a good month for me bros. I keep getting cucked on bids, pre-orders, pull rates. Literally nothing is going my way. Fuck this market.
>>57242644Auction sites are fucking retarded. You think your about to get a good deal and then a bidding war starts in the last 5 minutes and it goes for more than just buying the card on tcg player does
>>57242644what card was it?
>>57242469I mean one that isn't a day trading app that costs moneyJust something I can thumb through at a store to see if I already have a card or not when I'm going through ¥30 singles boxs
>>57242651alola friends
>>57242655i just bought the chinese one, I'm not rich enough for anything else
>>57242655Damn, how much it get bid up to?
>>57242076What an ugly mon jesus christ
>>57242656Did you buy from a chinese seller? I'm planning on buying a chinese card but thinking I should only do US seller to avoid fakes.
>>57242656Yeah it's definitely going to be a big purchase for me. I just love gen 7 so much so I have to have it.>>57242658It's was over 300000 yen last I checked which is fucking retarded because it's graded by some obscure asian card grading company that I can barely find info about. Literally CGC 10s and PSA 10s have gone for way less recently the last two months yet these retards bidded this up like it's a black label.
>>57242664no i bought it off an english ebay seller with sufficient history in cards that im not worried about a fake
>>57242664You just have to ask him for the two stamps on the card. If he refuses to show them it's a fake.
>>57242666Japanese cards are on a bit of hike up recently so there was probably more eyes on it because of that.Also was the grading company ARS (pic rel) if so they are quite well regarded in Japan.
>>57242687kino slab design desumuch better than the bright red PSAs
>>57242644I had to make a choice on christmas and I opted to buy a 151 Blastoise right then and a Starmie V later, now they've pumped the fucking thing to 2x and I just bit the bullet at 6500 yen because I honestly was fed up of obsessively checking the catalog to snipe a deal. Feelsbad man.
>>57242590
>mfw I see a cool card and buy it without regard for market conditions
You filthy tcg dogsYou would eat up any soulless slopYou will be put down very soon
>>57242140PokeRev sloppy toppy
>>57242137Masuda if he was a PokeTuber
>>57242633sad they didn't give both cards textures
>>57242330This guy is incredibly slimy and reinforces certain perceptions if you know what I mean. His videos got recommended to me regarding PE and immediately the guy is telling his viewers to 'invest' in other SwSh sets and forego PE for now. Why can't these fags just disappear forever? Let me collect my cardboard creatures in peace.
>>57242699when buying japanese cards always buy the one with the girl on first
Let's be real here. Nobody likes cares. They like money. If cards had no value, 99% of you wouldn't collect.The only ones who would, are the based gooner chads
>>57242749I imagined it'd go up, but not that quickly. Other jap singles I wanted are just fine.
>>57242644What was the card?
PeruANOn here, the other day someone was asking for a link to "mercado libre" for prismatic evolution stuff, well despite me buying the supposedly last one yesterday, they managed to get two more eevee bindershttps://articulo.mercadolibre.com.pe/MPE-697805518-tcg-scarlet-violetprismatic-evolutions-binder-_JMGet them fast, you won't find them so cheap again.

>>57242815If you actually have to change a letter then there is not joke.
>>57241856>>57241863These are the most lame FA trainer cards ever.
>>57242817? I didn't change any letters
>>57241863Imagine ripping 100 boosters and your one alternate full art card is this shit lol
>>57242830Yes you did, you changed the "N" for a "L"!
>>57242806what the fuck is the currency
>>57242836its better than a ogerpon """""sir"""""
>>57242666If it was graded 10 then 300,000 yen isn't that bad.

Such cute pokegirl, ironically doomed to be obscure despite being a "pokegirl".
>>57242919KWAB!
>>57242919>SobAppropiate
Should I buy more boxes, or just buy the remaining four Eeveelutions? im getting to the point where im getting a ton of dupe SARs
>>57242944you should take out a loan and buy them now ASAP
>>57242554does this kind of bending affect value of the card how much? I feel like every reversefoil goes like this overtime automatically
These reverses are unironically the best part of the entire set for me (I don't have an eeveeloution SIR yet) Even the trainers are incredibly well done
>>57242969PSA actually does not care if the card is bent as long as it's not creased. Unless the bending is particularly bad you can easily fix it by storing it in a toploader.
ohnonono scalperbros? I thought I could sell moonbreoms for 3 gorillion dollars
>>57242919honestly, what were they thinking? This is the third time they put these fucking masks nobody likes
>>57242985AIIIIEEEEEEE
>>57242590MSRP is Manufactured Selling Retail Price. The company that makes the product right where it comes from states that wherever the product ends up through distribution, that it should be at MSRP or maybe under MSRP. they set MSRP to prevent corruption of distribution and of retailers. if TPCi says that an ETB is valued at 50 dollars. what they are saying is that if you want to pay for this product you have to pay us all back for the materials, labor, transportation and housing of the product. it costs pennies on the dollar to make Pokémon cards, but it costs a lot to house and ship them. thus, TPCi states that to pay back everyone and the material costs you must spend 50 dollars. but it shouldn't exceed this price. for if it exceeds this pricing, then there is trickery, swindling, middlemen and scalping afoot.
>>57242996Think of it like Kelly Blue Book for cars. you are looking to buy a used car in your area, KBB does all the calculations, estimation, as well as the reliability of the cars in your area to help you determine when you may be overspending when you shouldn't. a used Honda with 100k miles should be no higher than X amount. just like i have been doing myself. I been doing the research and trying to bring awareness to the scalping that's been going on. all the way from the shelf to the grading companies. For under communism, a loaf a bread would cost 1000 dollars, but the materials to make it, pennies. good things were fighting over something trivial like Pokémon cards and not the right to live. for Pokémon cards are not a human right. don't be fooled by overpricing. it's tempting, but I have proven time and time again that this current era of cards is overpriced, overprinted, over graded and will be their long term compared to past generations.
>>57242999I have grown so tired of all the hysteria of people destroying what use to be a good hobby that wouldn't break your bank I have now made price guides to expose the corruption of the supply and demand, but I constantly get denounced here. call it jealousy, but i am upset that people are taking not rare cards by any means, grading them and mocking the success of older members of the community with their overpriced, over printed and over graded cards. I hope that you understand its not a personal attack on your cards, but if you own this shit and are drinking the kool aid, don't say i didn't warn you about the pricing and the availability long term for alot of cards made between 2020-2024, when the invasion of scalpers entered the Pokemon community. Relax a little bit and let them do the leg work for you. because all signs point to easy buy ins for cheaper in the long run.
why are they always asian (chinese filipino, viet and korean)?
>>57243012they are selling it to clueless timmys on ebay
>>57242996>>57242999>>57243002
>>57243012because they don't have real jobs and simply resell as a business
>>57243027they want 2.5k for a card with 19k pop in a 10. What a joke, gen 7 barely had 1-2k right now in a pop 10. gen 6 even less. and so on. basically, what you are looking at is that all generations of Pokémon gen 1-7 will have hundreds of examples, while gen 8-9 will have tens of thousands of examples of the cards.we jumped from a couple hundred to tens of thousands. and nobody thinks this is fishy or bad long-term investing? i laugh at your ignorance but hope you don't lose out too much on the inevitable collapse. what's next were going to se the jump from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of graded cards?its honestly just going to make cards from earlier generations more expensive. but we must endure the retardation of the current market until it is finally known that you are retarded with your money, and I'm not just a hater. Good thing 80% of my collection are from gen 5-7 while 20% is from gen 8-9. because i know my shit is undervalued just looking at the numbers.
>>57242884Nah, I'd rather get any of the new Ogerpons than any of those four fags.
>>57243040MOONbreon is the best pokemon card ever bro, it;s higher denand than 1st ed zard
>>57243052there is a guy that is selling moonbreon cards at 2k so that he can save up for the zards.
>>57242654collectr is free, there is also pokedata.io, try both
>>57242907You payed nearly 3000 yen for a non holo common Eevee from a recent set?
>>57241912>>57241962>>57241975No, this should go in a Pikachu collection because the pokemon featured is Pikachu, the cosplay its wearing doesn't matter.
>>57243010what a slut
>>57242988Gotta shill
>>57242082Japanese version.
>>57243073>Japanese
Why is this card more expensive than my Erika and Green combined?
>>57243081Cunny
>>57242082>>57243073>>57243074The mogging never ends.
>>57243081It's japanese, also I don't think that card has an english version
>>57243081>Naoki Saito>Japan exclusive (Asia actually)>female trainer (a sexy as hell one at that)
>>57243091a proper side-by-side, since these are both my pics and cards
u are not ready
>>57243108So how does the English one compare in person? I have a few of the Japanese ones and love those. Asking because photos don't always do these types of cards justice.
>>57243116I'd say this is the closest english has gotten to matching japanese texturing, imo. that being said, quality still isn't up to par, I saw edge scuffs on several cards
>>57243123>I'd say this is the closest english has gotten to matching japanese texturing, imo.I got the same impression from a few photos that I saw. I want to get some of the poke/master ball reverses that weren't in Terastal Festival for some of my collections but I'll wait for prices to cool down first.
>>57243109why did they put zorua in a nonpokemon related product?
Craziness. FB had an Umbreon up for $2800. Told the guy I'd snag it at $2k.Woke up to a message saying he sold it over his asking price lol
>>57243162>Told the guy I'd snag it at $2k.Are you retarded?
>>57243162that shit is worth 200 dollars MAX
>>57243169No im talking about the SAR not the normal ex>>57243164Maybe i guess i should have offered more initially
>>57243162tcgplayer has a listing for 1500. Just wait it out, it will go down to around 600-700. If the rumours are true and the umbreon is actually easier to pull, it will go down even less.
>>57243059Free for 35 cards unless I can add them manually beyond that
>>57243172>No im talking about the SAR not the normal exYes, we know.
>>57243060I like eevee
>>57243175I have 72 cards added and I haven't bought shit from them. I can also keep adding more if I want to.
>>57243179Wait, is it actually just the regular version?
>>57243172>No im talking about the SAR not the normal ex>Maybe i guess i should have offered more initiallyare u trolling
>>57242907
>>57243184Yes I figured it out after that, the scans are not needed, can just search for the card and click add.Also their pricing is very optimistic lol. Not like it matters for my cards.
>>57243197That's fine, I like my card
>>57243211grim
>>57243211Damn lil bro I would have just sent it to you
>>57243219>>57243222I'm just having fun, it's a reused store sleeve from this card I bought.I actually paid ¥33 for it
Why the fuck doesnt tcgplayer have more options for shipping cost based on volume? Tired of people jewing me by ordering 20+ low value singles and forcing me to pay tracked shipping
>>57243230I was beginning to suspect you were just taking the piss.
>>57243230nice on pwning these newbs
>>57243233Cardmarket only forces tracked shipping if the total item value reaches £20 (or if a private seller is shit then its forced regardless)
>>57243230Nice
>>57243242Thats the problem though, by low value I mean cards $1 to $5. Ive had a rash of larger shops ordering 20+ of these duplicates Im selling and now the value is around $40 and I have to pay like $6 for tracked shipping when my shipping rate is set to minimum ($1.27). It would be nice if they set a feature to make seller cover the increased shipping cost if they buy more than X amount of singles.
>>57243234>>57243235OK sorryI did see this though earlier and had to think about it for a bitIt's actually a good price if it isnt somehow a fake
>>57243264>It's actually a good price if it isnt somehow a fakeDo fake Japanese cards even exist? Have they ever?
>Foot focus artworkWhat did Pokemon Co. mean by this?
>>57242502Imagine you're a kid and your parents get you this box and you pull the card with the pajeet on it
>>57243272I'm sure it's not a problem but it was at bookoff in the foreigner tourist trap area. But also being a holo it's real (and costs 4 months of pay)
>>57243281They want me to buy the card (I did)
>>57243281What does she smell like
>>57243264>>57243230Which shop is this? I'm going to be in Japan for 3 months and it'd be nice to actually get affordable nice cards instead of paying chinks and other assorted slants for their scalping practices
>>57243307smoke powder and foxglove
>>57242510Faggots like you always change your tune once the cards explode in value, shut the fuck up already, you midcuck.
>>57241917how much does ebay take?
>>57243344Around 13%
>>57243081She is lifting up her dress ToT
>>57242590Explain why it is wrong to sell things at whatever price without resorting to ad hominem.
>>57243396>TCGplayers
>>57242590Explain why it is wrong to scam without resorting to ad hominem.
>>57242746Every time I want to buy cards I watch one of his videos and then I don't buy a single card as the joy leaves my body. He gives a selective behind the scenes and through his half truths you can just tell that normal collectors are victims being exploited for the benefit of those with big lines of credit and the manufacturers.There is no (zero) reason to stop printing a product that is in demand and has customers willing to pay other than to increase prices and maximize profits. Everyone benefits except the people who care the most about the product.I'm happy with my small collection and will gladly never buy anything again unless prices are reasonable.
>>57242330I don't recall Rudy ever even hinting that he's a Pokemon fan.
>>57243508Yeah pretty much. The retail scalpies are just low-skill brownoids that aren't afraid of looking like a fucking faggot for fighting over pokemon cards if it means they can make a few hundred.
>>57243002The only things your numbers don't account for is demand. You need a frequency of sales per card as a data set.& That's still not a 100% accurate way of gaging demand, but it's as close as you can get.
>>57243307sulfur
All I was able to get, at least these two were only 5 bucks over MSRP each at a not so far away game store here in KrautlandI checked like 10 places yesterday and today but no luck elsewhere
>>57243605>only 5 bucks over MSRPit says 40 over msrp tho?
>>57243629Yeah it says that on the sticker for some reason but they didn't sell it for 100
>>57243605Post pulls.
>>57243605Well? you going to post pulls boy?
>>57243661>>57243662pulls?
>>57243668the cards inside the boosters
>>57243668From your dick
>>57243672>>57243675prismatic evolutions?
>>57243676no i actually wanted to see your crown zenith pulls
>>57243662>>57243661Calm down I'll open it tomorrow in peace
>>57243081>bare shoulders Do you really need to ask?
>>57243508>>57243577lol retards.That's a misrepresentation. The price is high because EVERYONE is buying the cards. It's not one person, it's everyone and since the supply is low the price goes up.What part do you fail to understand?
Good news everyone, we're getting a Pikachu collection box for the 30th anniversary which will include the Chinese Exclusive Pikachus from their 151 set.
>>57243577>brownoidsMost of them are Asian desu. Brownoids do things like telephone scam old people.
*smacks lips*well everyone was looting the store anyway so I just joined in, I dindu!
>>57243800Great I can't wait to go buy my one ETB just to walk past some 600lb trailer trash or 40lb asian with an entire pallet in the cart, only to be met with empty shelves.
>>57243800I will simply buy the singles.
Why are you like this?
>>57243800souce?
>>57242996>MSRP is Manufactured Selling Retail PriceBut that's wrong you fucking retard
You're supposed to put cards in these without a sleeve?
>>57243845Are you asking why I have a problem with greedy fucks making my hobby impossible to engage with?
what are we thinking, psa9? its slightly off centered
>>57243878Why do you cry all day about people selling and buying cards by their own volition?
>>57243879>still buying english
>>57242722perfection
>>57243877God lord, he's naked!
>>57243882I don't. I come to this thread to post my pulls but I can't because scalpers made it impossible to get any products, so instead I vented for a couple of posts. You seem as if it's bothering you though, why is that?
>>57243230>>57243310Second, also visiting soon
>>57243898Except you felt called out by my original post kek.
>>57243921I just take issue with what I assume to be a scalper coming here to try and stir shit after they created the original problem.
>>57243877Only if you don't move it, because you WILL get the cards damaged if you shake it too much. You'd be basically hitting the borders against hard plastic every time you shake it hard. There is also a black version that looks better.
>>57243928What problem? Prices you can't afford?
>>57243932Can't is not the same as won't. On principle I refuse to pay extortionists.
>>57243929Who the heck even likes right? It looks like a picture with a photoshop filter.
>>5724393550 bucks for some cardboard is already extortion. A fair value for the cardboard in an ETB is probably around 10 bucks and it's mostly logistics, not cardboard.
>>57243929Am I really the only one who prefers the look of a magnetic case upside down? Look at all that space wasted on the top
>>57243943I just put it backwards, that way the magnet is not visible. But I do like the wasted space on top, feels weird to me to have it at the bottom for some reason.
>>57243845>normies: I hate scalpers>anons: I hate scalpers>players: I hate scalpers>collectors: I hate scalpers>youtube: I hate scalpers>reddit: I hate scalpers>everyone else: I hate scalpers >single subhuman brownoid on /tcc/: W-WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS??? STOP!!!
Pulled my first jap alt art today
>>57243942Would you pay scalper prices yourself? I doubt it, yet you still talk shit about others refusing to do the same.
>>57243961I don't really give a shit and neither should you.There are no "scalpers", it's all in your head. There are only people that for whatever reason want to buy pokemon product and since there's not enough product to satisfy demand, the price goes up. Getting angry at people that want to buy the product is stupid, you should get angry at the people that create the scarcity problem. If you haven't figured it out by now that would be the Pokemon Company.Hating "scalpers" is sign of very low iq.
>There are no "scalpers", it's all in your headWow gee lois, I sure wonder who could possibly be behind this post!
>>57243799did you reply to the wrong post or did your Hindi translator malfunction?
>scalpers don't exist, goyim...
>>57243965It depends on a series of factors. There could be a circumstance where I would pay, let's say, 150 bucks for a product.My point is if 150 bucks for cardboard is extortion then so is 50. MSRP is an arbitrary number, far higher than what would be required to make the usual retail profit. The costs of production for an ETB are ridiculously low.
>>57243984>>57243996Post your hand with a timestamp
>I don't give a shit, this is why I'm malding that everyone despises scalpoids such as myself, scalpers don't exist ok? now please stop using that word it makes me cry
>>57243996>erm, actually TPCI is the real scalper here!
>>57243999Seeing rampant stupidity and unwillingness, or incapability, to use reason makes me mad. What can I say, no one is perfect.>>57243997After you, ahmed.
>>57244002Not scalpers but morons or, most likely, very cunning businessmen.
i lost everything
>>57243991just le heckin wholesomerino buyer for no particular reason, nothing scummy here teehee. Man, this scalper in this thread is such a shit head.
>>57244012Did you check under the bed>>57244013
>>57244019what did xer mean by this?
>>57244013That's just American subhumans being themselves. La creatura and la luz estinguida fighting over cardboard.
my wifes boyfriend beat me for wasting money on pkm cards
>>57244051Good. Did you learn the lesson? Only spend you allowance on TRUMPcoin.
Tpci just needs to raise the price on product to stop "scalpers". Shit is artificially low to appease poor cucks but its a luxury product with insane demand. Poors have a worse time than the rich, thats life.
New>>57244092>>57244092
>>57243984Go watch rattle's video that basically exposed who some of the guys racing to skids at Costco are. None are in the hobby bunch of sneaker dudes on Instagram desperate for a dollar.
>>57243584New members of the Grading community have come in mass. but its also a problem that you may have to accept that your shit may not be as rare or valuable and its indeed overpriced.
