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.
>still buying vintage
>>57248517Get a job retard
I FUCKING LOST EVERYTHING
Can one of you guys buy like a shit ton of sea & sky crown zenith collections and ship them to me in Europe please, it's ok if you profit a bit
>still buying kanto
>not buying French
>They buy cards outside their native language.
>>57248567Touch grass, reptincel
>>57248517stop being brown>>57248551too much neck
>>57248551Why did you post the edit that makes it neck longer?
>>57248585Had I not, I wouldn't be buying any cards at all
>>57248585spanish card suck they are sticky to the touch
>>57248585>buying Engl*sh
>>57248652English SV reverse holos also suck shit to the touch, feels like fucking sand paper lite.
>Scalpers aren't a problem>Don't buy from rip & ships, unless it's my friends.>All these innocent people, are scammers, even though I have no evidence, but I'm suspicious so I'm going to ruin them anyway. >Tell everyone at start of videos not to harass or threaten people, my following considers it a dog whistle and does it anyway. >Posts videos of minors in conflict with the law, despite publication bans in regards to the YCJA and similar legislation. >If I want you in a video, I'm gonna extort you for a interview or video so I can make money off the ad revenue and if you don't agree I'm gonna ruin your reputation in the video. Who would of thought a guy who looks like wario with team Rocket logos all over his clothing was actually a villain all along.
>>57248679Stop watching scummy tiktokers then
>>57248686its banned in the us
>still buying physical
>Still only living in this dimension.
>Still metal detecting packs for the hits before going live on a rip & ship.>Still only opening the packs with hits for puppet accounts so the chat thinks they have a chance.>Still opening a resealed booster box but the chat can't tell so they think it hasn't been metal detected for the hits yet.>Still having friends and puppet accounts shill bid then canceling orders after the stream on auctions they accidentally won.
My favorite sets to open are all becoming too expensive. no...
>Still embezzling promos
>>57248585Love is my native language
>>57248747People just put the entire sealed box in a big 3D xray now
would be crazy if they just reprinted 10+ year olds sets with 1 to 1 likeness haha
Do you guys have a favorite TCG Ad/Commercial? This one has always been utter kino to me https://youtu.be/xFRM_qV2pJo?si=YUI80yZRI-ugEdAF
>>57248806Yeah imagine if they just printed a million new Evolving Skies and Ultra Prism.
>>57248817All of them would go to "investors" and none to you and me
I welcome a reprint and hope it completely destroys the values of cards.I hope they put big chases as essentially promo cards.I want the Pokemon card company to completely rock the market so that these scalpers and investors realize it's not safe.
>>57248722Not anymore, it's back
>>57248812I remember that the EX Sandstorm commercial was on all the time during Toonami.
>>57248864Literally none of that is going to happen and it is in fact you that are going to have to come to terms with no longer being able to afford cards.
>>57248881It's can't happen, until one day it does. And all you are gonna e left holding worthless bags.
More product just means scalpers will sit on more of it.If they bring another 10k ETBs it doesn't mean those 10k will go to people who won't scalp and who just want to open something.
>>57248892huge fucking cope. scalpers don't have infinite money and there are not "infinite" of people willing to buy secondhand ebay shit
>>57248902I dunno man all those videos of people building houses using ETBs as bricks makes me question that
>>57248902You're forgetting the fact that there are tons of scalpers out there right now not able to get product either that are waiting for reprints to grab some.Nobody loves reprints more than investors. It just allows them to increase their positions at lower buy ins.
>>57248892Scalpers don't have infinite capital or credit.In fact if they can't sell product fast enough they'll get hit with like 26% interest on their credit cards each month.
For starters how about they make it so bots can't just buy everything on the official pokemon center in 1 minute
>>57248585In my kokoro and tamashii I am a honto no Nipponjin.
>>57248925You can blame a poketuber and his discord for that.
>>57248585>takes money>buys Japanese cards in western market>gets cursed>immediately loses half its value.
>sells shit tier English versions>buys the cheaper and nicer Japanese versions of the same cards>'appy, content, simple as
>>57249004Why don't they just tell the US employees how to print like that, they work together for the same company in the end
You may not like it, but 151 is still king.
>>57248812classic Deoxys, being the coolest mf around, as usual.
>>57249012Can't trust westoids with anything, even Koreans don't get to find out, or the Chinese for that matter because Japan prints their cards.
>still buying anything after SwSh base
>He still uses a binder!?!?
>>57249021Can't believe you collect in the yellow piss card boarder era of pokemon. Some of you guys are unbelievable.
>>57249019Are they just afraid of competitors finding out the secrets, is that all?
>>57249024
scalpies want you to believe this will keep going up
>>57249026Probably. From what I can tell they currently make the nicest looking cards in any TCG.
>>57249041Shrouded Chads, we're going to the moon
why isn't gen 3-5 stuff the most valuable when it has the lowest print runs and populations? Why is a high pop moonbreon more valuable than most gen 5 chase cards?
>>57249068because ignorance anon. we suffer mass retardation every day.
>>57249068Because that's the era most people started collecting, duh
>>57249024Binders hold 2 things: Cards & SOVL.
>>57249052Good. We shall be slandered no longer.
>>57249068>>57249074How about keeping it that way?
>>57249052>>57249041How long until the Poketubers collude and all release videos in the same week saying how Shrouded is "unappreciated" and an "underrated investment".
Why they nerfed to hell the pull rates in Prismatic, this guy got the Moonbreon from a random terastal sethttps://youtu.be/2GfWm7-SOCE?si=okrD2NP9YT5_DiMiMinute 10:10He wasn't even trying, he was just opening "the most popular TCG products" from 2024 and yet he got the fucking moonbreo, then prismatic evolution, the English version of this very set, has ball busting level pull rates.
>>57249094You already know that's next week's video. You want to know why it went up? Because a bunch of investors including YouTubers, bought out a bunch of the cheapest stuff left on the market and are now gonna pump it. I'm still not gonna buy shitty sets regardless of they went up in value or not.
>>57249079babby's first TCG collection. we all start somewhere.
>>57249068>why isn't gen 3-5 stuff the most valuableThey are.
>>57249097Stop shilling your channel here.
>He INVOOSTED in some modernshit over graded shit and is paying some guys mortgage that doesnt deserve the money.
Wish me luck bros.
Shrouded has good stuff though
>get terastal, the pull rates are better and is not as expensive.The pull rates may be better but it's not cheap, look at this, that is 154.92 dollars.
top boosters
>>57249134>S/ 582What planet are you from
>>57249129It is actually underrated. I'm all for sets centered around lesser popular Pokemon. Investortrannies seething and shitting themselves is a nice bonus.
>>57249052The best cards from shrouded are the promos no reason to ever open it really.
>>57249138Peru, they call me PeruANOn.
>>57249129Yeah, but not in the SAR spot. Meaning everything nice are cheap singles making the sealed product worthless to open.
>>57249068I still don't like the gen 3 cards. The border changes were ugly and I never had an eReader.
>>57249146Are you saying that from a price point of view or personally judging the cards?Cause Persian, Houndoom, the whole Duskull line, Horsea and Cufant are all nice
>DING DING DING>CHECK THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF YOUR COMPUTER SCREENS PSA /TCC ANONS>CHECK THE DATE>ITS JUST ABOUT THAT TIME>GO BACK TO THE WAGIE CAGIE>GET READY TO RECIEVE THE NEW POKESLOP>DONT CARE IF YOUR FINGIES HURT>WE NEED ANOTHER 20k UMBREON CARDS GRADED
>>57249162I am sure the grading companies use a machine to check the quality and not actual people.
>>57249168shows what you know.
>>57249068It's fake demand. If you would please consult the charts.
>UMBREOOOOOOOOOON
>carkmarket orders from all over europe arrived without issues>two orders from my own country are still MIA after 2 weeksJust nuke my third world favela
>>57249190I got some boosters for my friend and they never arrived. First issue I had with cardmarket.
when did Umbreon become more cancerous than Charizard? 2023?
I have always been a Glaceon chad, even in the games. Ice might be a shit type but I don't care.
>>57249198Umbreon has always been a big draw Pokemon. You've just been ignorant of the hobby.
The poojeet is spamming his AI sloppa again. How about posting cards instead?
>>57249207lol. imagine presuming i was born yesterday.
>>57249202same she's so fucking sexybought her singles (sir, masterball, pokeball) from japan can't wait till she gets here
>>57249214how about you do that yourself.i post fire all the time
>>57249021>buying swshitlol
>buying
FIREPOSTING
>>57249219>i post fire all the timeIf that's what you steaming piles of shit then sure.
>buying lazy 3Ds and rainbows
>>57249242post what (You) call fire then. Ill wait.
>>57248766Happy to see the pokemon TCG finally got some tranny representation
>>57249128Damn, I got scammed. At least I got a few good pokeball eevees and like 3 masterball pokemons. Not that bad, if I sell those, I can almost make my money back.
oh come on, your going to call me out to post shit. then pull your cards then.
>>57249238give me one of those gardevoirs
>>57249134I got tera at $55 per box
>terashit eevees
>>57249243Do full arts even have shading nowadays
>>57249263I've never seen those. Those are sick.
>>57249255erm, goyim, didn't you hear? This set is supposed to have better pull rates than crown zenith bro... trusted sources said it so it must be true... keep ripping!!
I went down the poke tuber hole and now I regret it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfhmM_mmC68
>>57249258These are probably more what you want. Im going to resubmit them, 2/3 should of gotten a 10 IMO. PSA infinitely sucks.
still waiting on that fire.
>>57249282
>>57248902I've sat there and watched a man get a loan over the phone to buy all the 151 and surging sparks a local walmart had>close to 25 Alakazam 151 boxes>15 SS etbs
>>57249283>>57249285how precious.
>>57249278are they from your pc pulls or did you buy them?
>>57249271To be fair, I got 3 master balls. If those were supposed to be SIRs, then I guess it was ok. But yeah, I don't really care much about those. Hope they never add these again.
>still buying eevees
>>57249134here in spain terastal festival is around 90€~95€so something like 100$ te has doxxeao a ti mismo se ve tu calle
>>57249267You can get them for cheap compared to any other eeveelution alt-art in history. Old trainer gallery sets are criminally underrated, although maybe the new trainer set will raise their prices to retarded tier.
>>57249296I pulled them myself. straight to a top loader back in 2016, just like I always do. PSA graders are fart sniffers. I have inspected tens of thousands of cards myself. I could do a better job than the graders there. and I have a high standard for collecting. I'm not DEMANDING a 10. I just know when I feel like I should have gotten one. I handle my pulls for like 10 seconds.
>8 large boxes of cards in the back room>cant touch em as the mj holders rep quit and they haven't sent a new one to stock the product since the first week of JanuaryThursday, friday, and Saturday the same 2 scalpers stood up by the card section all day long in shifts. Today was the first day neither showed up lol.
>>57249252Penny already had cards for a while.
WANNA KNOW HOW I GOT SO MANY GOOD CARDS AND A GIANT COLLECTION?ITS BECAUSE I DONT SPEND 2K ON OVERPOPULATED NOT RARE SHIT. you pick and choose what you want to buy in at. I buy in alot of stuff at bottom dollar and hold for a while.
>>57249294>still no cardsAt least you're not assaulting everyone's eyes with AI sloppa anymore I guess.
>>57249356>and hold for a while.>not permanentlycuck, fake fan, poser, faggot.
>>57249359I hope you learned a lesson today. that people may have better collections than you. I for sure know that my collection is not the greatest. but ill be damned if a newfag tries to tell me what's what.
>>57249335I'd just scribble on those boxes with a marker so scalpies can't buy them desu
>>57249372The only thing I learned is that you literally have zero (0) cards, since you failed to post even one.
>>57249379moving the goal post. i wish you could move on some better deals than defending your overpriced garbage.
>>57249376Honestly I like that idea, just a simple black line on the plastic would be enough.What it wont stop are the ones ripping packages in store to steal the individual packs
>>57249335>the same 2 scalpers stood up by the card section all day long in shifts.
I do have more, but they dont take too kindly to other cards on here.
>>57249382Take your meds, you sped and learn how to follow a conversation properly. Maybe post some cards while you're at it, if you have any that is you don't lmao
>>57249413go back to your discord cope group for your therapy.
>>57249417Project harder, tranny.
>get a tin of random Gen 9 packs a week ago>pull full art Scizor ex>get some Temporal Forces packs today since I have so little of the set>get the Scizor again
So it has begun.
>>57249478>no black labelI sleep
TPC should just print like a million Umbreons in the reprint to tell scalpers to shove it up their asses
>>57248652Just like spanish people.
>>57249013>shitty CGI trash
Jesus man cards I just boughted last month have gone up like 30-40%. I couldn't boughted everything I was eyeing last month so I was saving them but now they're out of my acceptable price range. Now I'm feeling fomo... I need to take a break from this till things cool down.
hope u guys sold your moonbreons
>hey guys I found these cards in the back of my wardrobeHow the fuck do people fall for these obviously fake ebay listing?
>>57249768that braviary came out last set kek
>>57249013>or Best OfferThey didn't sell that high. There used to be a way to find out the actual sale price on those kinds of listings but eBay fixed it because they're faggots wanting to manipulate the market and collect higher fees.
>>57248812
>>57249068gen 1 nostalgiagen 2 peak sovlgen 3 gay, trying to be yugioh omg is that SLYPHER THE EXECUTIVE???gen 4 midgen 5 the rick and morty of pokemongen 6 new shit to hype up stuff and le KANTOOOO
>>57249791i pulled one from a bw base set, it was a paradox misprint (very rare)
>guys i just found these old WOTC heavily damaged cards that i foolishly overspent on them during the pandemic. I am pretending to not know the price on them in hopes someone makes a good offer and i get rid of them, the post. as if we cannot tell.
is there some website or app that is good for tracking a master set? i was using collectr but its missing a card and now it gave me trust issues cuz what if its missing more
>>57249898>gen 3 gay, trying to be yugioh omg is that SLYPHER THE EXECUTIVE???huh?
>>57249888
>lillie isn't even in the setholy LMAO
>>57249968Anon?
>>57249945Raykwanzaa at home
>>57249979He means as a trainer card
>>57249990Then he's retarded because the only supporters in this set are Brock, Iris, and the douche bag NPC. None of the owner's pokemon trainers get their own individual card.
HOW THE FUCK DO I GET PRISMATIC STUFFI'M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS SHITin other news, i opened 400 dollars worth of products just now and got nothing and am super depressed. in fact i've opened about 2.5k dollars worth of products and the most expensive card i've opened was a 40 dollar latios from surging sparks i'm about to say fuck it and go back to spending my money on gacha games instead
>>57250142I think you might be legit retarded. You could literally just buy the cards you want.
>>57250142You should be saying fuck it and going into therapy.
>>57250160just a gambling addict
>>57250142English sets are a scam, you don't get guaranteed SIRs like the japs do. There is also a lot of stealing going on at the factories where they print that shit, so sometimes you get a really bad batch.If you're going to open sealed product, you either go japanese or just be aware that you're probably getting scammed by opening english product and accept the result.Or you could just buy the cards you want, maybe look for someone selling weighted packs, but there is always the chance of getting scammed.You pick your poison.
I spent $1000 on Terestal Festival last week. I've spent $0 on Prismatic.
>>57249957SOVL

Okay I am someone who was only ever heavily invested in the games but pocket TCG is getting me interested in the IRL versionDon’t think I’ll play but collecting seems fun can someone point me towards the best overall product like bang for your buckI’m assuming just this new prismatic evolutions box right? (I’m not hunting for anything specifically for now so not buying super old sets)
>>57250142You've been told to buy singles but you didn't listen.
>>57250268If you want a fun opening experience try to find some Crown Zenith products. It's a special set with lots of good hits and very high odds of getting good stuff.
>>57250191Typically yes, but Terastal Festival does have a guaranteed SAR per box.
>>57250268Your best bet is to pick out some singles you like, throw a dart at a board, and wait until everyone is tired of pokemon, then buy that card. TRUST ME. The TCG is a fucking scam right now where you get ass blasted by TPCI and then quadruple ass blasted from some spic that survived Costco mortal combat. You have been warned. >>57249041
>>57250288lol makes sense given the videos I’ve seen>>57250282I’ll see what cool rares are in that and surrounding sets then decide I guess
>>57250268>best overall product like bang for your buckBuy singles and don't open any product, even chink gacha games have better pull rates than this shit, they also steal the chase cards in the english factories, so you're double fucked.
>>57250209They're memes you tard
>>57248484What are the chances 151 is included in the massive reprint of current sets TPC announced recently?
>>57250322they're not funny and you're gay for posting them. just shut the fuck up and talk about the thing being discussed. take it to fucking reddit, you tranny.
>>57250329>Blastoise promoThey'll probably also do a Venusaur and Charizard set. Even if they don't 151 will probably come back down to <$6 a pack at some point. It only shot up to $11 during the last 2 months when everything skyrocketed. They printed a shitton of it already and guys are sitting on a lot of unopened stuff they're trying to sell.
>>57250346The memes originated here, tourist.Go back.
>>57250390are you for real? buying foreign pokemon cards is a meme that originated on 4chan? post your hand, pablo
>>57249798If best offer was accepted it would be strikes through. Nice try though.
>>57250329They JUST reprinted it with the blooming waters boxed set people are going apeshit for.
>>57250465I know about that set, but it didn't put a dent in prices and demand still far outweighs supply.

I want new products around Iono and Lillie, why they gave the ETB to N and a ln EX box to fucking Hops?

>>57250824oh you missed out on cardboard? damn. anyway. thanks for the data chumpt. best buy
>>57250209I think it's funny
>>57249012It's not an issue that is exclusive to Pokemon TCGIn YGO you also have the same issue where Japanese card have vastly superior quality in terms of cardstock and foil
Is there a place with photos of every single TCG product released so far?
>>57250889I'm sure if they told the US their secrets Chinese fakes would magically become indistinguishable from Japanese cards since every single trade secret in the US gets leaked to China.

>>57251115Eeveeslop is good as long as it doesn't go past the Kanto Eeveelutions.
Looking forward to the 30th anniversary Pikachu Collection.
Why is PSA the standard and not Beckett?
>>57251134Because PSA can give you random 10s when the card was actually 7, while Beckett will not. This goes to show that grading is for faggots.
>>57250971This place doesn't have these.

>still trying to collect promos
I pulled one of the chase cards. It was pretty cool. It was the eevee, didn't even realize until I went to look at how cheap the card I wanted to pull (and did pull) was.
>>57251226>I swear I totally pulled one of the chase cards, this actually happened. It was pretty cool. It was the 100% the Eevee, didn't even realize until I went to look at cheap the card I totally pulled and I wanted to pull (which I 100% did pull, this happened) was.Why would you make up such a story?
>>57248517>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.

>$20 for nonholo>$40 for reverse holo
>>57251421Are you surprised the rarer, flashier version of the card is more expensive or something?
>>57251452I’m not surprised about the reverse holo, it’s the fact the nonholo is so much.
>>57250446Not true, faggot. Here's an unrelated listing I myself sold to someone who offered $78. Ebay is lying to you.
