I am buying more casually these days and following the hobby from a distance. After skipping Unova entirely, my next purchase will be a few ARs from the new Mega sets. No waifu stuff or overpriced SAR stuff. I will probably stop collecting altogether by the time the current era ends and the new generation finally comes out. Picrel is some alt arts I bought all the way back in May, my final pieces from the SS era

the ethical complaint i will make is that any company can print something and slap a price tag on it. this would be like america printing 1 trillion dollar bills to pay off the countries debt.
is that what china doing at this point? creating artifical wealth through printing pokemon cards without organic growth? this should be illegal to some degree or at least put on your adult shoes for a moment and realize that its not always just cardboard and holofoil. but sometimes its fucking cardboard and holofoil.

My husband and I make the same amount of money and we split major expenses 50/50, including a $6,000/month mortgage and property taxes, and $3,000/month for daycare for our toddler. We have two little ones, two years apart—the younger one is 7 months old and currently home with us and we plan to send her to daycare after she turns 1. In terms of household responsibilities, I carry more of the load—he does maybe 30% of the housework and he complains every single time.

Here’s the thing: our combined incomes pretty much just cover our mortgage and the daycare expenses for both kids if we decide to send both of them. That’s it. There’s very little left over, and I feel the financial stress every single day.
>>
>>58192420
The issue that’s driving me over the edge is his obsession with Pokémon collectibles. He spends thousands on credit card every month—I’m talking plushies, skateboards, card holders, and, of course, the cards themselves. He spends most of his time staring at the computer trying to catch every single drop and often buys multiples of the same item. His justification is that some of these items will increase in value over time and he wants to resell them for a profit later—supposedly to pay for our kids’ college.

I don’t stop him anymore because we’ve had so many arguments about it. Our “solution” has been to keep finances separate so I don’t control how he spends his money. But it doesn’t feel like a real solution. He keeps trying to convince me to invest my money into this Pokémon stuff too, but I don’t feel comfortable doing that. I’m already stressed, and I believe in spreading risk, not doubling down on a speculative market.
>>
>>58192428
Every time he misses a product drop or I don’t show enough enthusiasm, he gets super upset and accuses me of not understanding “the market” or supporting him. He expects me to be super onboard with him just like those influencer couples in the Pokémon field. He’s said things like, “If you don’t understand the market, then you don’t get to f*cking speak” multiple times. That line still rings in my ears. It feels emotionally abusive. I feel completely disregarded and alone.

Today he wanted to spend $400 on a Pokémon plushie—two of them, actually—just to play with them. Every time when he asks me “Should I spend XX to buy this?” My answer is always “It is up to you because that’s your money”. But that was the last straw for me. I feel like I’m watching our family’s stability go up in smoke for the sake of some fantasy investment plan. I want a divorce. I want out of this. Now he thinks that I am overreacting because I don’t understand the market.

i feel exactly the same about mega charizards now
But i have an excuse - when these came out - i was during my important life period with lots of stuff and pokemon was one of my least interests.
I had no fucking idea this card is so cool and how rare it is to find it not fucked up
in fact-it's impossible.

only now when megas are hype, i see this card and scratch my head - i never even saw it anywhere around the time when set was released

i wouldnt sell to pieces of shit here. i would send out a card and they would claim it would be lost in the mail. dishonorable people. i show off cards because im a collector. its not a cope BTW. plenty of people get shit grades and not question the fact that a high school drop out or illegal immigrant may not do the job right. you know their grading facility is in the city of industry CA, right? the only person coping here is yourself for putting so much faith into retards. i have sat upon these cards for years. i stare at them. look at them. i question their grades, i literally see nothing wrong with them. i sit and stare at them for YEARS. some fucking illegal looks for 30 seconds high off weed and fucks me out of thousand of dollars.
i know my cards look better than the grades. some they are accurate and i question nothing. but you are a coper. you never been like me.

quick question. why would i sell my cards that i feel should be higher grade for hundreds, when the next guy that gets them, sits on them and starts questioning the same thing. he sends them in and he gets the thousands for hundreds.
all because some retard on the internet that doesnt know shit says im full of crap. whatever. im not selling. im looking to regrade. then when its worth the value i believe it shoud be, then i consider a sell. you never did this kind of mental jumping jacks because you are a binderfag.

Can someone here give me some insight about some card values?
I want to sell my 2010 Pikachu World Collection (not sealed but Near Mint) on Cardmarket, but I have the ones with the western back, and most people there seem to be selling the cards with the japanese back so I'm not really sure what would be a fair price to ask for the 9 cards.
I calculated a price already asking for around half the value of the listings there for each card: 445€. I feel that may still be a bit too much for only 9 cards, even if they're valuable.
I want to sell the cards fast so I also don't want to ask for too much money and have people not buying them.

Not a single double rare japanese card has ever been more than $2 even at their peaks. Every single double rare in the latest mega set is less than a dollar. You might actually be stupid if you're paying $30 for one of them

What is your opinion on Lucario card?
im really trying not to miss on this one. I missed on most of big epic chase Sword-Shield cards and barely touched s/v era (thanks god i was smart enough to buy Magicarp when it was around $50).

i assume this Lucario is a ticking bomb because americans didnt recieve these sets yet.
I won't be buying a $150-200 mega lucario but japanese $70-80 lucario sounds amazing an i can totally afford it TODAY!

japanese cards will alway be worth less than english cards
the exceptions are for exclusive promos and stamps
lucario card, whether it goes up or down, it will always be cheaper than the english one
remember, this lucario card had people paying $100 for on preorder/release date, now it's already $70-80 and it's not even a japanese exclusive

even the red victini, got an english set which brought the price down somewhat, always wait for stabilization

i'm 100% sure i won't be able to afford american/english Mega Lucario.
especially because soon we going to have the "actual hype set" with Gengar and Mega Charizard EX.

I believe that this Lucario will become one of the chase cards. And just want to secure a hit and have it.
And be happy with "owning an expensive chase card".

Of course it won't be more expensive than english version.

THE PROBLEM IS: The english version will be almost unabtainable (hyped up prices + more expensive than current japanese prices + upcoming mega-sets)

In fact i can actually add picrelated card as a bonus

but the modernshit actually has drawbacks and is not as good as texturing on non 3d models so you cannot get the same effect.
AKA fuck you, my cards are cool. you just dont understand, normie.
>>
>>58195933
i know, it was different era. S&M stopped doing HQ texturing with lighting. and newer cards are way too sparkly for the lighting effects to actually work.
there are plenty of people that brag how much brigther and cooler japanese cards are, but in reality it was done intentionally at one point in time to be an effect to enhance and make the cards feel more alive.

5ban 3D models will always be shit regardless of the era, the point was about the card texture. In modern cards Jap looks way better because they follow the artwork with different texture patterns, while English slaps the same fingerprint-like texture everywhere, which also has a slightly opaque finish that makes colors look more washed out than japanese.
English XY had thick texture but it had great patterns and no opacity.

XY is when I started collecting and playing the tcg with my wife. Still love all the cards from that era. Fates collide, Evolutions, and BREAKpoint are still some of my favorite sets. Actually have a English master of BREAKpoint. Love the shiny Gyarados cards released in this set. The secret rare is beautiful. This Alakazam is also amazing in person.

2) AI is not capable to make such seamless perfectly representive illustration of pokemon

still it's WEIRD people just ignoring this... i assume most of people just think it's fake

whole s/v charizard cards were fucked because they were gimmick cards with stupid hat.
I didn't care when they were super cheap and still don't care even if shiny one kind of better. But overall Scarlet-VIolet charizards are all ass.

This Mega-charizard is THE mega-charizard X.
I'm even okay with buying multiple Mega charizard EX cards - even they look better than those glass/hat chase ones

If a card isnt accurately graded, you can email psa advising them, and they will deactivate (though this usually has to significant)
Also if fakes use that cert, it will inevitably result in the deactivation of the real cert as well when the fakes fet reported and youll have to resubmit for a new cert.
All of this is true and happens frequently people are just retarded and dont check their certs activation very often.
But we can easily go on ebay now and find fake slabs with real certs and some will be deactivated due to reports some will still be active.
Man people are fucking stupid in this hobby to even think this is made up

Whats more likely, people cover certs because theyre schizo.
Or because theres a documented history of people using real certs to manufacture fake slabs with real certs.

I'm on my own phone and I see them just fine, rotation notwithstanding. There's two poke balls and a master ball, and the holographic patterns are clearly visible on the edges even if you don't get the prettiest angle of it shining across the front. You might be retarded or blind if you need extra help seeing the cards. Honestly, with how many phone pics get posted in these threads, you should be used to random head shadows by now.

Bombshell drop time:
Get unlimited of whatever is in the machine
Just go to my Disc-SHUT THE FUCK UP FUCK YOUR DISCORD FUCK YOUR SPONSORED CLICKBAIT AND FUCK YOUR DMS HERE YOU GO EVERYONE:

Step 1: If the machine is out of stock, you will need to wait for product to become available which is determined throughout the day randomly. That is a fact.

Step 2: Be aware that other people might be loitering / monitoring the machine. Beat them. They are who are clearing it out with what I am about to tell you below.

Step 3: When you have anything in the machine, grab all of it no matter what using the below method:

Step 4 and this is the big one:
Mash the home button as fast as you can with your left hand / fingers in a drumming motion as rapidly as humanely possible.
Using the accessibility d-pad, press the center button and the right button in a series of sequences to try and get lucky with the timing.
Note: Product is ALWAYS is in the top left whenever anything is available for sale in that moment, no matter what). Be prepared for too many of Journey Together, Stellar Crown, etc if the good stuff was already taken / cleared out beforehand by someone else.
Note 2: It is a very fast series of the following possible combinations:
Home (touch screen), Center button (to select), right (to choose the plus button), Center button (to increase qty once + is highlighted), then Home to do it all over again.

Again:
Home-Center-Right-Center
Home-Center-Right-Center
Home-Center-Right-Center
Home-Center-Right-Center

There is a possibility some button orders are flipped or required that I am missing here.

Home-Center-Center-Right
Home-Center-Right-Center-Center
Home-Center-Right-Right-Center
Home-Center-Right-Right-Center-Right

Try 'em all, then once you figure it out, beat the scalpers at their own game.

i don't think this gardevoir will drop lower than $100...I bought it for 230. I don't mind if it will drop to $150 for example.

I'm pretty sure it's a ticking bomb of a card...Just look at it. It's a top tier artwork like Giratina or Lugia.
it's so beautiful it heals my soul every time i look at the picture of it
(I got PSA 10 just to be sure i own a top tier version. i wouldn't buy an expensive card just to keep it loose in toploader)
