I can’t find cards, it’s been months maybe even an entire year since I’ve found a pack to open, literally the last time I found a pack was all the way back when the black/white set released, it’s insane. Last week I thought I got lucky and found an Ascended Hero’s ETB at GameStop but the fags wanted 100 for it, like wtf is this shit I’m not paying that when you pull trash 90% of the time.

What's with low income rednecks and trying to "hustle" out of ts?
One of my disgusting coworkers that probably baths every sunday and feeds his kids instant ramen every week day started blowing his minimum wage on collecting sets of all things trying to sell them down the line for profit.
He comes to me all the time asking for stupid "investment" questions even after I told him I'm not into Pokémon for the retarded reason he is like if he should start investing on X set because the seller sent some bulk from said set as protection for the cards he bought.
He seems to think collecting works like sticker book collections of the 70's as in people want to complete whole ass sets.

Investing in sealed product is brokie shit. If you were a real "investor" you would be buying low pop psa 10 vintage cards. But since most of these "investors" are broke lowlifes they can only "invest" in product thats sitting on walmart shelves.

No, $3 per pack is too expensive for standard set japanese.

I'm in asia and nobody is paying more than $60 for it atm.

For those who have been collecting for a long time, I have a question: I noticed the JP card prices are usually a little cheaper overall than the English cards. Has that always been the case?
Because I assume the English card market craze has artificially inflated prices. I was wondering if it never got inflated like that would the prices be closer to JP card prices?
>>
>>59086074
English cards used to be thicker card stock and had a higher quality holo for the original few sets. Japanese holos have pretty much always been guaranteed per booster pack too, making them more available. But since texture was introduced, Japan’s cards were miles better and English cards got just as thin.
>>
>>59086114
Do you think the prices have more to do with how better the JP collectors get treated vs international (pull rates, quality, etc. included)?
I am mainly a Yugioh collector. I collected Pokemon and Yugioh in the early days, and then got into Pokemon again during COVID times. I know for Yugioh Konami is horrendous (especially now) with quality, and Konami of JP doesn't have that issue as much. And Konami of JP has insanely better pull rates for cards, like it is unreal how much worse they treat the English fans. It is something like that for Pokemon too, maybe to a lesser extreme?
>>
>>59086182
JP has better pull rates and guaranteed hits in booster boxes, plus their MSRP for packs is $2 instead of $5 because they contain 5 cards instead of 10. Since the hit rate is per pack, you get much more bulk in EN for more than double the price.
That's half of the reason, the other half being FOMO hypers, youtubers, scalpers and invoostors being 90% from the US which has 300mil inhabitants, so they push English being the more marketable language for their scams.

>$2 for 5 cards instead of $5 for 10 cards
The $2 for 5 cards would be really nice, I wish we got that. It makes pulling the commons more enjoyable because you get less of a chance to get them instead of being annoyed that's the 4th Ledyba card you got in the last 10 packs or something. And $2 is easier to swallow than $5, probably encourages opening more packs too. I'd rather pay $20 for 10 packs than $20 for 4 packs, even if the card quantity is the same.
>>59086473
I do buy what I want (and can afford). I'm just curious and thought I'd ask. I am new to modern Pokemon cards and I never paid attention to prices when I was a kid collecting.

Got a single card vending machine as a way to make money back on my bulk and was hoping you guys could help me determine my strategy.

>How much would you spend on a single card if you encountered a machine like this in the wild? Is a dollar too much?

>Would you only pull on it if you're positive it's seeded with URs? Or would the novelty of the machine be enough for you to be interested?
>Would you need the UR rate to be clearly advertised?
>Would the UR rate change how much you would spend for a pull?

>What kind of places do you frequent where you would be most interested in encountering a machine and willing to pull

The current plan is to fill both sides with my bulk, but seed the left side with URs and the right side with WotC cards, both at a 1:20 rate, and charge a dollar per pull.
Alternatively I can go down to 50 cents per pull, but at that point I would drop the pretense off a guaranteed UR rate and instead just fill it at my leisure while still advertising potential for URs on the front

I've only ever purchased from one of these a couple of times to support a new small local store. Out in the wild I'd never use one as I already have enough bulk. If it was just reverse holos then I'd actually consider it for maybe 50c

>>59091673
They didn't have to do my boy dirty like that

>>59091623
State the rate. UR every X amount of pulls. Calculate the spacing so you make money. If some retard wants to pay 100 times because it's guaranteed 10 URs, then let him. The gamble comes in the value of the UR to the buye

I buy from Ebay all the time, the only issue I got is most of the cards I want, which are 3rd and 4th gen, are always fucking destroyed looking.
>>
>>59093421
>which are 3rd and 4th gen, are always fucking destroyed looking
what do you mean by 3rd and 4th gen? also destroyed looking?
sorry, I'm pretty new to this world lol

Like, cards from Hoenn and Sinnoh era.
Destroyed, as in, terrible condition.
>>
>>59093450
oh, I see
do you buy them like that because they're cheap or they tell you are in good condition when they are not?

some collectors will never grade and only want a card for a master set or binder, so a small scratch or two is alright
the other does happen just like you mention with dumbass sellers

>some collectors will never grade and only want a card for a master set or binder, so a small scratch or two is alright
I get this thinking. I would probably do the same if I decide to buy a card from ebay
It's not like I care about a PSA 10 or shit like that
>the other does happen just like you mention with dumbass sellers
yeah, I can imagine some people not making a good job with the package or even the shipping company just completely destroying the package because of negligence, which I have seen happen...

Eurofag here, so far I spent the equivalent of 210 USD on buying packs so far and in return I've got about 180 USD worth of cards by their raw value, though I could turn a profit if I graded them (idc about that).
I've pulled no illustration rares so far out of 32 packs which according to pull rates i should've gotten 2 by now. It is how it is.
I got 3 ultra rares, + 14 EXs that are all double rares.
Honestly my favourite cards are just some ordinary ass holos.
I have a holo shiny voltorb, and holo dragonite, vaporeon, vileplume, magearna + 3 yuka morii cards which while worth very little money wise are just neat! :)

Pokémon cards are the new crypto.

I'm not even joking, once you accept that you will make the logical choice to buy Japanese cards instead (until those retards start pumping those too).

Jap cards are better quality anyway and they're cheaper. Who gives a shit about English cards, it's a Japanese game anyway.

Is there a website catalog that shows cards that feature a certain mon/character even when the card isn't titled after that character.

Like there's a Serperior card that has Rosa included in the art, is there a site that would show that card if I searched up "Rosa"
>>
>>59107859
no but I think the easiest would be to filter by trainer gallery and galarian gallery cards from SWSH era as those are illustrations specifically made for showing off trainers with 'mons.
After that the closest is either bulbapedia or pkmncards.com advanced search. In bulba try searching for a character and if there is trivia on them or on their tcg page. In pkmncards try the advanced search to filter by illustrations and 'mons only and quickly skim through them

I saw a store selling packs for $10 to $13 each and all I could think was 'why would I ever buy 1 pack when I could buy the cards I want for cheaper?'. And even expensive cards would be cheaper than hoping to buy it from a pack. $60 card? That is 12 packs at MSRP. Will I pull that exact card in 12 packs? Highly doubt it.
Still, new cards shouldn't be that expensive in the first place (in my opinion) but here we are.
