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.

It's wrong when everything in your country is scalped. Nothing is sold by Amazon any more, it's bought out and sold by resellers in Canada. Luckily it's only $15 more, but basically scalping has increased the cost of living in Canada. It's not just pokemon, it's like EVERYThIng

Ay dipshit, you do know that regardless of how much you scalpfags pump the price, someone still needs to buy it for you to make a profit right? The fanbase has no interest in this set.

>>57279681
I just think they’re cool and good designs

>>57279724
The "fanbase" also had no interest in Jungle and Team Rocket. Things change with time. If you were knowledgeable about cardgames you would know this.
>>
I am not crazy! I know it's going to the moon! I know the set to buy is Shrouded Fable, and not Prismatic Evolutions. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just can't prove it. He – he manipulated the market, he got that idiot at the LGS to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? It's been worse. The MSRP! Are you telling me that a set just happens to collect dust on the shelves? No! They orchestrated it! Jimmy! They took all the pulls away from Shrouded Fable! And I bought everything! I took them into my investment!

Given enough time as options to make a return on sets dwindle, scalpers & investors will look to the cheaper sets. YouTubers like Danny Phancuck will make a video about "ZomG these cards are sky rocketing" and a handful of other PokéTubers will do the same and start the trickle. All you have to do is manipulate a card enough so that Phancuck and friends makes a video. It's the same rinse & repeat every few months
>>
You did it, /tcc/. You convinced me to spend 60% of my credit limit on Shrouded Fable.
>>
>>57279812
This is how poketuber contribute negatively to the hobby. They get manipulated or assist in the manipulation
>>
>>57279812
Yeah but there still needs to be a buyer anon. Just like how the PS5 was scalped to death, people opted to wait and scalpfags were left holding heavy bags. You cant force interest in a set that has no interest from the organic consumer

Money always goes towards the path of least resistance. Just like not all money goes towards vintage, not all money will go towards those sets, even if they're technically "better". Some money will go towards Shrouded Fable because it's easier to buy.

>>57279861
A lost origin ETB is 60 bucks. A silver tempest etb is 50. Twilight Masquerade is 55. They're really not that much expensive than SF. If the intention is to profit long term, you have literally no reason to buy SF over them, as they're 100% guaranteed to net you far, far higher returns by actually being sets people want, with the added benefit that you don't have to wait 5 years for them to generate any sort of value.

>Equating the MTG fanbase to the Pokemon fanbase
They're buying sets for different reasons. MTG has been a speculators market for ages now. People in pokemon only care about the cards of their favorites, not the "value" it will accrue when it goes out of rpint

Main issue is all it takes is a small group to manipulate the market on a card or set especially since everyone now bases prices on tccplayer like a stock market.

yeah everyone will move on eventually. A lot of people that have fomo and are driving up prices literally don't know they're gonna print prismatic and sparks for like 2 years. The other poster is right, it could be a while. But things will return to earth probably in 6 months. If the economy tanks then shit will be worthless overnight. Nobody knows exactly but it won't get much worse than this. In my opinion shit will drop but it will stay just outside of whatever you're comfortable paying. Like the new Umbreon chase is probably worth a few hundred at most. Meaning in the absence of extreme fomo, retards, and market manipulation. It'll probably come down to like 400 or 500 when it's fully saturated. Just my hunch since there are a lot more people in the market and some will actually stick around.
>>
>>57280223
Prices are also being driven up by crypto. Bitcoin started recovering around October 2023, and we're currently in the middle of its bullrun. Things will likely settle later this year once the crypto market enters its bear cycle.

They won't reprint Fable
>>
Heard a rumor they’re going to show a Shrouded Fable trailer on Pokemon Day. No reprint, just to build up hype because they know people love the set.
I can’t reveal my source, but he said it’s fine to let you guys know he’s a big fan of bugs and that you’d all understand.

PSA is too anti-consumer for my liking with the up charging for valuable cards.
I'm boycotting them on principal, I don't care if they're grand fathered in as the industry standard, that's for boomers who have most of their sets in PSA and refuse to slab.
Anyway PSA doesn't even have a label for the Japanese card stock English Pikachu, had to go with CGC.
>>
>>57281596
Blooming Waters was perfect.
It had no real new promos for master set collectors unless you want the jumbo Blastoise, which most binder collectors don't.
So people who already mastered it have zero interest.
It was widely available at Costco.
And within a month it'll also be at other retailers.
Scalpers gonna get interest charges on their credit cards kek.
>>
>>57281758
Really I just want 1 for my sealed shit along with one of the mew boxes not at a stupid price.

>>
>>57281750
PSA only upcharges you if you have high end cards, which you clearly dont own. And CGC gives out fake grades and upcharges too. But youre a cgc fanboy so you dont wanna talk about them also upcharging~~~
>>
>$30 for Japanese packs
Why did you fuckers keep pushing the >still buying english shit

Now the Japanese market is ruined.
>>
>>57281794
these are the SAR guaranteed packs, which is basically like buying a box if you only care about pulling the chase
>>
>>57281733
This is cope. CGC grades harder than PSA. You can crack a CGC 9, 9.5 (10) and get a PSA 10 easily.

Only problem is CGC will never sell for the same amount as PSA because of marketing.

Scalpers were desperate to convince everyone Blooming Waters wasn't a "reprint" and therefore it wouldn't affect the price in any way. Last chance before 151 skyrockets into unobtanium. Now only a fraction of them have been released, all scalped. And they can't move them. At this point you'll be able to arbitrage the individual packs in BW sets.

hello collectchads minor psa here for my fellow centro haters. some nigger named melsell, a fl seller on tcgplayer, is trying to tank the price of roaring moon sirs by creating shitloads of fraud listings for $18 and buying them himself. do not fall for it by panic selling or buying cheap, market correction will kick in fast

Basically any video he makes is him shamelessly trying to sell his bags.
