>psa recently graded a fake prototype card>They also "lost" a poncho black zard Pikachu (aka lenticular deoxys all over again)I genuinely wish people and vendors would stop dick riding PSA and agree to also accept other graders at a similar price. PSA has too much power it's like a spell was put on people to kiss their ass.>>59615646>People do have that power but no one wants to be the first. I'd love that too, fuck PSA and how scummy they are.You'd think the whole "Island" controversy and the connection to it's owner on the news would have people boycott it but seeing how people are still playing Go despite it's contributions to questionable data sharing with questionable clients I'm not surprised. I'm just sad that now Beckett will permanently be poisoned after being bought by them.
I got a defective card, a Nidoran that's named Umbrella for some reason. How much money can i get off of it?
>>59615658I didn't know psa acquired beckett.
That's what I got from my 30th celebrations ETB, not counting the pikachu cards. Sad I didn't get the EXMew SIR, hopefully it crashes further with price
>>59615677I see people bring these things to vendors at card shows all the time. It's really terrifying how retarded most of the people engaged in this hobby are now.
>>59615677it's worth about tree fiddy
>>59615677Nothing, obvious counterfeit spawned from the most dank alleyways of Shanghai
Does anyone use these mini portfolios? I'm a bit worried the cards will slide too close to the spine and get bent as i flip through it. Also, you're apparently meant to put 2 cards in each sleeve back-to-back, since it has 30 sleeves but is advertised as holding 60 cards. Will doing that damage the cards at all?
>>59615719Those things are made for 6 year olds to take their cards to school man, is that you?
>>59615720Why do you keep posting about schoolboys you nonce faggot?
>>59615685disastrous etb
>>59615720I got one on a whim to see what it's like. It was kind of cheap and came with a pack too. I figured it'd just be a fun way to store some cards, but after filling it up, I'm second guessing if it'll damage the cards or not.
>>59615731par for the course for me, that's why I never buy anything gacha related and did this against my better judgement
>>59615720Back in my day we just shoved them in our pockets or loose in lunchboxes and let them get all fucked up.
>>59615719I have a couple and they will absolutely fuck up the edges. Also, if you actually put all 60 cards in it's really overstuffed so the backs of the cards will scrape against eachother and they can get off center and outright bend the entire card. They're neat if you collect binders or want to pocket carry 30 low end cards, but they're worthless for long term storage or if you care about the condition of the card.
I want a new really nice looking playmat that is pokemon themed but not too busy design wise so cards you put on it are very easy to see properly and inspect
>>59615724There's no reference to what gender the 6 year olds are in that post.
>>59614162All jirachis are best
>still buying physical
>>59615562Not an investor whatsoever, but I enjoy owning rare cards. Rarity (the “chase” as it were) is a part of card collecting, and older, mintier, rarer cards should naturally fetch a relatively high price, the way other desirably vintage or antique objects do.And again, you had three decades to buy these cards. Why didn’t you fill out your vintage collection a decade or more ago? Is it perhaps that you rode in on the Covid hype train like everyone else in the hobby these days?
>>59615719please dont use these things. what is your reasoning to put you cards into one of these?if you want to move 60 cards around with you, get a deck box and double sleeveif you want to put some away get a real card binder
>>59615780Play? mat, we dont do that here
>>59615687What's wrong with that? >>59615713Well it has been in a tin for God knows how many years and no way would i get a card not from a pack or from one of those card vending machines.
>>59615720>>59615724Why be unpolite?
>>59615812Rare cards are rare because they made less of them than commons. The price of a given rare card should have nothing to do with your desire to own one. Especially of a card you already own, who cares what some rube on eBay will pay for it after you've owned it for 10 years? Why does that affect your enjoyment? If your rare card held no resale value, would you not care about it anymore?You are a huge fucking faggot and you talk like there's seven cocks deep up your guts. Wipe the cum out your eyes and actually look at the garbage you wrote before posting, investor fuck.>hurrr ddurrr did you not buy le card earlier or summat?Kys you fucking disingenuous retard. You're probably 45+ clinging to your worthless trash because you have nothing else going on in your life. I would beat you into a paste on the asphalt if you ever walked in my vicinity.
>>59615836>who cares what some rube on eBay will pay for it after you've owned it for 10 years? Why does that affect your enjoyment?Having your taste if cards affirmed by the masses feels good. Being correct will always be more satisfying than being wrong.
>>59615845By that logic we'd have to watch Marvel and DC shit, read Twilight and listen to Taylor Swift
>>59615812>Why didn’t you fill out your vintage collection a decade or more ago?had more important things to do in my life
>>59615828If it has been sealed in a tin for so many years why is it so scratched up? I mean seriously look at the font it's literally impact meme font whichever scammer you got this from didn't even try to make it look real.
>>59615853Then you should have no problem affording what cards cost now.
>>59615836>>59615845>>59615848We can be more polite about this.
>>59615858I had it since childhood. Like i said, i only got cards from packs or vending machines. I never bought a single card from anyone who isn't a store employee.
>>59615866I can't afford them, doesn't mean I want to pay that price. Do you buy a stick of butter for $200 because you can?Retard.
>>59615866>more important things in life>immediately conflates that with moneysupreme goyim
>>59615873Why so hostile and unpolite?
>>59615876Money is what is need to pay for things to survive.
i don't understand is scalping 30th anniv set actually fucked or is it just a meme and people being ironic? cuz i'm still seeing these sealed products being sold for at least 3x the market value and being heavily movedi don' tunderstand why there's so many posts i see going around how fucked scalpers are etc. when products are still moving and people still running and getting them
>>59615879I said important things, not "things I need to survive"
>>59615882those discord messages you see being passed around are fake.
>>59615882It's just a meme and wishful thinking from people that can handle reality.
>>59615882It's going down but of course it works for the moment.I got lucky and found 3 ETBs and a bunch of blisters in local stores and sold them all immediately. From the money I made I can just buy the same boxes back in some months if I want to. Or buy other cards or things to open.Are the people paying 150 for an ETB right now retarded? Yes, but I'd also be retarded to not give it to them if they want it that much.
>>59615882>still being sold at 160 a pop for etbthis was literally more than prismatic etb at release
>>59615918snorlax collectors may be as crazy and absurd as gengar fans but they could never make me hate my fat bastard
Luv him
>>59615836>investor fuckI’ve only ever sold cards (duplicates) to buy more cards to fill out my collection. >rare cards are rare because there are less of themYes, exactly, which is why I would object to identical, modern reprints of my rare cards (not that it would ever happen, but still). >why does that affect your enjoymentBecause I like owning rare and exclusive cards (and so do you).>did you not buy le card earlier or summatIt just seems your interest in the hobby directly correlates to the recent hype. Why is it that, before these cards were seen as exclusive investment opportunities, you weren’t in the hobby? I bought 90% of my collection back when these were worthless — where were you then? Are you perhaps the one with Investor Mindset?
>>59615929>lolling aboutsuperb
>>59615812Its not worth arguing about this here, anon. The majority of anons here just want to consume and consume, rarity be damned, and if you disagree you're an investor.
5961594359616017You are patehtic
>>59616042Not an argument.Enjoy not owning any cards.
Landed an ETB. Against my better judgement I'm going to open it instead of reselling it.
too much wordpoasting
>>59615885But surviving is important.
>still grading cards
Too much ritual posting
Is it salvageable, bros?
I never realised how narrow the art window for Rocket's Mewtwo was made to squeeze all the text on the card.
>still buying modern
>>59615719I use this to neatly store all of my gift cards and random cards I get from stores (library, grocery, etc). Now they're nicely categorized and easy to flip through. It's quite useful.
>>59616262Lol, yeah it's pretty hilarious how small the art is. I don't find it too odd in person. Though maybe the "regular" holo wouldn't look as nice since there is so little foiling.
I was worried I got fucked when I traded away this JP Jirachi. When I sold it there was basically no listings but now it seems like MP copies are selling for under $100 so I think the trade was pretty even. I got $20 on top and my new copy has a swirl unlike the JP one>>59615795Mythticals are my favorite but there's no way I will ever own every Mew or Celebi card, so I "settled" for Jirachi and Shaymin. They are just as cute so not really a sacrifice to me.
>>59616312Dude you gotta shut up about this. What is it with jirachifags posting the same shit over and over. This is like a dementia ward.
>>59616338As opposed to the ritual posts and the same exact ""discussion"" we get every time a new EN set drops. yeh the jirachi guy is repetitive.

I like Manaphy.
>>59616449It's weird to me that you can kind of tell what generation a card came out in based on the layout. Ignoring the Manaphy, this card just looks very gen 4. That's some good visual design.
Any word on a Costco 30th drop?
glad i bought this for like 10 dollars before fuckheads inflated its price
>>59616404>>59616424>>59616543what is the point of these pictures?
>>59616461What exactly is weird about that?
If you're just a casual collector.... hey, maybe it's just time for you to find a different hobby. Why complain every single day? That's no way to live. Because all of us that are enjoying the hobby by pumping and scalping, that are successful in our businesses , in our careers, you know, people that can afford packs, we don't care. We're not listening to you. You can scream in all caps all you want, no one cares. Get out and work more hours to buy that 80$ drowzee.>>well but I shouldn't have to work more hours!Maybe you shouldn't, but maybe you need to. Life is not fair. It doesn't work the way you think it "should", and sometimes you have to get out of this mindset and say "hey, this sucks, but but this is what I gotta do". That card is NOT going down. It's the next Umbreon. Invest NOW!!

Least obvious samefag thread
>>59616799Is it still that faggot from yesterday? Might be school holidays somewhere, kek.
I don't know, I kind of like that cards operate like mini stocks and that you can sell value cards that you pull and use it to buy cards you actually want. This world of everything being $0.10 and everyone being able to get everything that this general wants sounds extremely lame.
>>59616822It's poors wanting to be a part of something that isn't meant for them.If they ever get their wish, they'll quickly lose interest and do the same thing somewhere else.
This is a thread for collecting cards from a childs game, you lot think it's >>>/biz/It's like you lost the love for the game, and your greed took over. No wonder there's so many salty anons in here.
>>59616830It's not about greed, it's about trading in a TRADING card game. Money is the most fair form of trading and I am trading my cards to get money so that I can trade them for cards that I actually want. If everyone can just get any card they wanted then that completely eliminates half the fun of it (the other part is the GAME, which none of you play).
>>59616834>so that I can trade them for cards that I actually want.For the investmoont portfolio, or are these cards that you play with? The expensive cards aren't getting played are they?
>>59616836>The expensive cards aren't getting played are they?They go in my collection, which is the entire point of trading.
>>59616839I thought the point of trading was to get mons for the deck?
>>59616849Sorry, I don't argue with people either playing dumb or lack reading comprehension.
>>59616852I'm not playing dumb, and even though we've been argumentative, I'm not here to argue with you. Have a good day anon.
>>59616849Wrong thread, this place is the poisoned well investor thread not the tcg thread
Best offer I can make on that 30th set
>>59616849Yeah dude, let me just slot my highly playable, $5000 1st edition Shining Mewtwo into my deck. What the fuck are you talking about? Do people even play vintage formats today?
>>59617171I was talking about playable cards, but didn't think of players that have been into this for most of their life, and have cards they want because of personal reasons. I didn't think of that because I am not one of those people. And didn't think of the expensive card/cards because I'm poor and they aren't on my radar.You are correct on this. I am not.
>>59615647Togetic thread!
>>59617219Love this card, wish I could come across the stamped version at a show one of these days.
>>59616849You can just get a Chinese fake proxy card to play with which is legal and you don’t have to worry about fucking it up or somebody stealing it, the expensive card goes in the binder.
>>59616682>un-digitals your digital cards
>>59616790RIP AND TEAR UNTIL YOU ARE DONEOr just sell them to eBay dummies and buy some singles you want idk
I don’t understand. You’re an “investor” if you don’t want everyone in the world to own at least one copy of every card ever printed? I’d love, say, a Family Event Kangaskhan or a Best Photo Bulbasaur or something, but I’ve made peace with (almost certainly) never buying a $50,000 pokemon card. Part of what makes these sorts of cards special is their history and exclusivity.
>>59617318No dumb fuck but only liking a card because it's valuable (not how rare it is) is invoostard behavior
>>59617374Rarity and value tend to correlate, brain genius.
Anyone know anything about a Costco 30th drop?
Good news, everyone!
>>59617387Yeah, Costco is dropping the TCG altogether because the 30th pulls are so dogwater
>>59617427I never once seen any cards at that place.
I’ve wanted this specific Golurk card for a while, so I decided to buy a graded one!
>>59617417Name a more soulful set than vending. You can’t do it
>>59617435Because they sell out in a few hours.
>>59617531Jamboree
>>59615765Which binders are good then? Not being able to use every page out of fear of over stuffing it defeats the purpose.
>>59617675You could use stitched slop like every other redditor Or you get a nice business/legal archival binder with 4 inch rings and use good quality pocket pages.
>>59617650Jump-Boots Jamstrang
so where is the "tons of product flooding the market" for the 30th? just online retards lying out of their ass again?
I boughted it all
I gave up and ordered cards from aliexpress
>>59618086Like fakes?
>>59617675Don’t listen to this chud: >>59617787he wants to destroy your cards. Just get a portfolio with built-in pages.
>>59618086I gave up and just started closing my eyes and imagining I have the cards I want
>>59618086Is there a Sylveon without the 30th stamp yet?
>>59618098Unironically much less embarrassing than buying fakes off aliexpress

This fuck paid $500 for 63 sealed ancient mews 2 years ago. He probably sold them all by now but holy fucking shit isn't that atleast $10k right now?

>>59618246Does anyone actually care about Ancient Mew other than the error one?

>>59618261Normalfags do. It's really ugly to me
>>59616834that’s selling, not trading
>>59616830Ever since the crypto and sneakerheads invaded the hobby it's unfortunately become a necessity to think about the cost of buying cardboard to not fund scalper degeneracyLike I genuinely have to stay up till 3am to buy pokemon cards online from Target because I know for damn sure finding cards at the stores is a crapshoot now and don't really wanna go to jail fighting off a bunch of obese mexicans for booster packs or an etbAt least Walmart does these lottery drawings now for cards at a reasonable time, I ripped 2 Tech Stickers I got in the drawing last week and pulled the haunted house Gengar SIR and a Maushold IR (also one of the Exeggutors had a swirl pattern near his foot so bonus value for my collector binder yay)
>>59618291>Money is the most fair form of trading

Mamdani if you can hear me... PLEASE!!!!! force tpc to increase the hit rates on all sets going forward, this is the only proven way to end scalping
So when is the bubble gonna pop My boxes arrive next week and lugia is still over $200
>>59618353When the UPCs release the prices will tank Guaranteed 3 classic gold cards per UPC and 29 packs of 30thSingles will all crater under $100Imagine buying a UPC and hitting 2 Lugias Gengars or Charizards from the same boxPrices won't hold and that's before all the other supplementary products like the Ditto box the Mewtwo Mew Figure boxes or the binder collection
>>59618353Wait for the massive drop after the UPCsBy January-February singles will fall further as the insane printing arrives and everyone who got FOMO are done buying 30th Scalpers and resellers have abandoned 30th anniversary save for UPCs, they're all in on Delta Reign and future TCG products and are now sniping reprints of AH, DR, etc again
>>59618222No-cards detected
>>59618283Did you get one when it was first released? I remember it feeling like an honest to god ancient artefact when I was 7
Just shut the fuck up and ritual post.

>>59618464I miss when yugioh card were as simple as this.
>>59618566shut up fag

>>59618353Reality is that it won't
>>59618353Unless they overprinted it to hell it won't.
>>59619030>>59619022Coping scalpcucks lmao
I got a total of 4 ETBs, 5 Eevee two-pack blisters and 1 Greninja Collection (4 packs) so far for 30thJust by randomly walking into stores near me once a day
Mew FUR dropped to $70, Mewtwo FUR down to just $50.Sharper decline on the SAR side with Pikachu night parade can be found for $65, Mewtwo sub $30 while other notable hits like Sylveon SAR and Jirachi SAR can be found below $20Things are very different on the classic side however with both Lizardon and Lugia holding on with others seems to just experience a very slight drop or none at all.
>>59619245and I got none without lining up
>>59618246It's beyond retarded that a card can been seen to have thousands and thousands available yet people still spend the increased inflated price.
>>59617417Based.Exactly the next two Vending on top of my list.
>>59619373Very nice. I assume some westerners were buying some of these up to attempt to upsell as I’ve seen some Japanese being sold overpriced on eBay, but there’s probably too much available product to up the market much in Japan.
As mentioned a couple of threads ago, I successfully sold all my tradeable vintage cards in these days for a couple grand and I recommend you do the same now that prices are retardedly high.
i just want to open 3 30th packs, that’s all i want man but everything is either botted or back doored
Opened another ~120 bucks of Paldea EvolvedGot 1 ex for itMoral of the story: Just never have fun, only buy singlesCool Gyarados though, art would look nice as full art
>>59619583I've been listing them but I'm starting to believe that everybody in this hobby is legitimately braindead and can't read a description or look at some pictures.
>>59618261Yes? It’s aesthetic as fuck
Jesus Christhttps://www.reddit.com/r/psagrading/comments/1wo37be/psa_has_deactivated_my_mega_charizard_x_pikachu/https://www.reddit.com/r/psagrading/comments/1wpdvp8/psa_downgrades_my_card_during_reholdering_process/I can't believe PSA is still pulling this shit on people. How the fuck are people not protesting this company? Two major incidents in a span of a month
>>59619674Your fault for opening a shit packShould have bought CZ, 25th, 151 or the 30th instead
>>59619747I already opened more than enough CZ, I have everything from that other than the Darkrai really 151 is too expensive and with 30th I'd rather wait until the prices for boxes come down
>>59619725People are easily influenced by investoors so they go to PSA as it’s shilled everywhere by big creators. Maybe worth it if you have some insanely expensive card you want to sell and buy cards you want with but meh, they’re untrustworthy and propped up by investors/creator shilling/wealthy old guys who have been grading sports cards for decades.
>>59618352Would be good to have some Chinese gambling laws to force blind card packs to always give a hit. It’s nice to open cheap Chinese packs for the fun of ripping because you’ll always get something shiny and save your cash for singles.
Wouldn't it make more sense to double down on hoenn Pokemon if the games are getting a remaster? A lot of clues have pointed that they will get one in the next announcement
I can only laugh at anyone still using PSA
>>59619772Nah. Burgers are too cucked to implement that
Idc about the price of the cards but as someone who hasn’t bought any 30th product i will gladly take this stuff from the free pile at my local store
>>59619774>Nah. Burgers are too cucked to implement thatI mean buying hoenn slabs
>>59619772>remasteryou mean the switch release? there won't be a remaster, just a release of the original games on switch.
>>59619773>I can only laugh at anyone still using PSAThe only reason as illustrated here by this anon >>59619766 is that the large consensus have agreed to use PSA as a barometer for value rather than another grading company. TAG allegedly use advanced scanning techniques and gives a breakdown while ARS has superior slab quality yet both aren't taken seriously. You would get banned by the psagrading fan sub just for suggesting they are corrupt like the possibility of pop control, swapping people's cards like the lenticular deoxys fiasco or sheer incompetence. It doesn't help a YouTuber anonymously interviewed graders and some of them said pop control was a thing for certain cards and grades depend on how the graders feel that day.
>>59619779>you mean the switch release? there won't be a remaster, just a release of the original games on switch.My bad, yeah I meant the rerelease on the switch. Charizard and Mewtwos went up simply because of the frlg games again. And how ditto temporarily went up because of pokopia
>>59619783I get that no one wants to be the first but still. Just based on principle at this point I'd rather use another company even if it's worth less.
>>59619785where are you getting this information about a rerelease? very strange to port games that have already gotten remakes and not the remakes, isn't it? after all they FRLG, not red and blue. wouldn't it be nice if they made Sigma Emerald or something?
>>59619725Fucking hate reddit begging me to download the app
>>59619725PSA grades 2 million cards a month. At that volume, even with an astronomically low fuckup rate of 0.01%, you’d still have ~220 dissatisfied customers a month, and all the eye-catching stories that come with frustrated, dissatisfied customers.This isn’t to defend PSA or grading more broadly (I’ve never once graded a card and never will), it’s just to say it’s incredibly unlikely they’re “pulling shit” and, moreover, anyone focusing on these anecdotes is missing the forest for the trees and is almost certainly “retarded.”
PSA ain't going away even if they stop grading Pokemon cards, Pokemon is just 1/4 of their overall revenue and 3/4 are sports investors who are even more cancerous than Pokemon onesThey also own Beckett and CGC so even if they're gone they still have 2 of the big grading corposTAG and ARS are the future but they'll also end up like PSA once they go big Grading sucks and is unnecessary
Just got back from my Japan trip. Rate my pick ups.
>>59619980Modern/10Waifu/10McD’s Tyrogue, Vending Onix, and lovely Gulpin are inspired, though. Cool Japanese exclusive Komiya cards (or Japanese exclusive holo pattern, in the case of the Gulpin).
>>59619980God damn I forget how much Lillie’s Clefairy seems to be worth. Nice waifus and husbandos though. Gulpin’s my favourite out of the bunch.
>>59620013My goal was to pick up an ARS graded Lillie's card, but I barely saw any ARS, much less of the card I wanted. It was all PSA shit, so I just got a bunch of cards I was missing for my collections.
>>59619980based, did you see any BW Skyla or Biancas?
I can not think of anything more cucked then paying random strangers(PLUS shipping and postage) to arbitrarily rate your own cardsI mean think about it. You are willingly paying another man to tell you your cards are shit, or devalue them from a 10 because you didnt gleave it in its packaging until current year
>>59620096in fact, you are not only paying them to tell you what to think, but youre paying them to seal off that cardboard you claim to care about forever, sealed in a plastic rectangle that you can show off to people or HOPEFULLY sell while proclaiming ''LOOK!! LOOK WHAT SOMEONE ELSE THINKS OF MY CARDBOARD!"
>>59620110What if the psa guy farts on your card before quickly sealing it in the slab and then without you realizing you'll forever display a sealed enclosed fart of a guy in your house?
>>59619776those were free? I don't believe you
>>59620127I’d gladly let any random who wanted it have my 30th bulk, or any bulk I don’t need really. I try not to keep anything I don’t want in my binder and it’s not really worth piecemealing it all out for pennies.
>>59620140the aya kusube snorlax is kino, one of the best legacy illustrators doing one of the best pokémon they've never illustrated before. It will be one of the most valuable regular holos from the set. Not that will be much
>>59620096The whole point of grading is to get 10s and sell them to fucking idiots. Only like 1% of people sending their cards to grade actually keep them after.
>>59620311then slabmongoloids belong on /biz/ and should kill themselves
>>59620096Appraisal has always been a thing. People generally dont just buy or sell houses without an appraiser, not that you'd know. The same goes for jewelry, cars, antiques. Yeah, PSA the company is a scam but that doesnt mean appraisal as a whole is.
non holo shit should be nowhere near 4 figures
>non holo shit should be nowhere near 4 figures
They shoudl make a squishy card. It will be a hit. Screen shot this.
How do i get 30th anniversary cards at msrp?
>>59620431Why I only buy (and subsequently open) CGC 8 cards
>>59620413be a retailer employee or have connections with one
>>59619980I hope you die.Keep Japanese goods in Japan for the Japanese. You don't deserve them.
>>59620456>retailers allow their employees to hold product for themselves to buy (at a discount)Yeah nah, you ever had a real job bub?
>get home from work >Over 10 boxes of Japanese 30th arrived and one box of ygo cards >Have zero desire to open pokemon and am more interested in what's in that ygo box
going to card shop, gonna see if I can trade this for like 75% value. That is if they have something worth trading
>>59620513When I worked at TRU in college they had a bin you could throw stuff you wanted in at the customer service desk and ring out at the end of your shift.
>>59620533sorry, I'm Australian
>>59619980cool cards, but overall a bit boring.
We are so back!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaEDxMPQVDE
Bros i'm currently in Japan, the situation with the 30th cards is horrible.The box were sold as lottery only in EXTREME FEW COPIES, stores basically no longer sell singles because there are no singles to sell.I though after 3 day we tourist could buy stuff from the Pokémon center but It doesn't seem like the case, you that are more informed than me, do you know if they will ever restock this shit before October? Or at all?
>>59619756>and with 30th I'd rather wait until the prices for boxes come down>prices for boxes come downLOL
>>59620596I hope your plane home gets struck by lighting and crashes on a remote island, where you're the sole survivor but can't move, and you bleed out and die in the baking sun while wild animals rape you.
>>59620596I hope you get bitten by a small ant twice
>>59620596Japanese cards are for JAPANESE PEOPLE. If you buy cards there you are literally stealing them right out of little Tanaka's hands.
>>59620732they're printing the ever loving fuck out of these cards. more than enough for whoever wants them.
>>59620737>schizollecting turtle mouth worstmisty lmao
>>59620732Tanaka was basically throwing cards away for ¥500 by the cube ten years ago
>>59620738shut the FUCK up. Morikura is a kami illustrator
>>59620596Lmao no wonder lugia more than doubled technically tripled in price after day one and here I am with a dozen booster boxes
It's time to open pokemon cards with lolidols
Now I just need the other half Crescelia
>>59618580>Ash Blossom>AcerolaYou are leagues above these philistines. Great taste.>>59618566>that effect>that design>simpleYugiboomers are deluded.

>>59620817post the nanoha
>>59620818It's the old alter figure for the first movie Man this might be the ugliest Pikachu card
>>59620824Nice. I need to get me a Nanoha figure one of these days. There are too many to choose from. I only have miscellaneous Nanoha goods like these cool sleeves.>sachikoNice++For me it's Nagi.
>>59620833Pretty sure a bunch of those nanohas are dirt cheap that's why I got themAnd I got that sachiko since she was a huge meme a decade ago
>>59620842Damn you're right, only $45 for that Alter Nanoha. I thought Alter was supposed to be the high grade figure maker.
>>59620848It is, but I imagine no one gives a shit about Nahona nowadays.
>>59620873Exceeds made us so back.
>>59620888Exceeds is barely about nanoha lmaoPrisma Illya is the true nanoha successor
>>59620888As a Nanoha give-a-shit-abouter, Exceeds isn't very good.
Pulled the greninja sar FUCK
2nd box results Greninja sar More ARs5ban mew Pikachu tag team
How do I know that auction houses and sites like fanatiks collect, goldin, heritage, etc have legit cards? eBay has a seller profile, the rest don't so I'm worried
Also I wanted to ask, do people typically bid early or wait until the last minute? Would it hurt bidding early? Ie bring up the listing visibility to others on the platform?
got some cool stuff
>>59621020there is zero reason to bid early on a digital auction
>>59621020I don't think you understand how auctions work. Just put the most you're willing to spend and it'll automatically compete against someone else's highest bid in increments.
>>59621033There's no reason to increase the price of the item until the last 30 seconds of the auction. Especially if there are no bids yet. You're just raising the price for yourself.
>>59615685>swshit was the pulled classic cardid kill myself
>>59620344Non holos have sold for way more than 4 figures
card shop I went to today had a psa 10 corocoro mew for $70,000 aud
I got so brutally fisted by my ETB. 1 IR Scraggy and 1 classic collection Delcatty. My 30th luck on getting product at msrp has been great but my opening luck has been terrible. Maybe I just sell the boxes and buy singles. I just thought 30th had better rates.
>>59621090I did kill myself
>>59621027>$33>$18Not USD right?
Is getting the premium ultra good goy edition worth getting?
I have new pokemon cards sets fatigue
>>59620994>How do I know that auction houses and sites like fanatiks collect, goldin, heritage, etc have legit cards? eBay has a seller profile, the rest don't so I'm worriedAnyone? Esp for fanatiks
>>59621978it costs as much as a used car so up to you
>>59621240Offer them tree fiddy
Would you rip 70 packs if they were all half price?
>>59622412I'm shocked these lasted long enough to go on clearance
>buy 1 30th etb for the sick nidorina promo>pull the lugia>sell it immediately for $300 leafbux>enjoy my free 'rina + profit>don't need any more 30th, the stamp is ugly Can't wait for the SIR Goudon and Kyroge in the next set :)
>people spend 300 dorrars for this texture
>>59622630>buying the inferior gaijin version
>>59621653nah it's aud. They gave me a cash discount too
>>59622471Smart. The classic collection look horrendous.
>>59615647This pikachu illustration is kind of weird... His tail doesn't look like it belongs to it but rather another pikachu and the expression deoesn't help either....
>>59622721Cool butt.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=086uhG3Rf3U
Yall told me the prices would go down... they are going up
>>59622980>E****sh collectorlol, lmao
>>59622980I told you they would go up.
Spotted someone selling a bunch of Lv.X cards on eBay.Would've been cool if their backsides weren't whites to oblivion but glad to see some ol' Sinnoh love (not CZ)
>>59623403Par the course that Sinnoh are perhaps the worst preserved out of all the gens. Found a Shiny Bagon reverse holo that was beautifully taken care of and it cost me 200 dollars.
Cant wait to see the Twitter videos of neckbeard scalper faggots intruding on Targets special Pokemon family day, going to be very entertaining
>>59623552Gotta get the heckin' RGB Mew those little bastards don't deserve!
>>59622877should crash to 1000 yen, cards should be for fun and collecting not unemployed investing
>>59623774Collecting and fun is the reason cards have any value to begin with.
>>59623816All the newcattle don't give a shit about collecting. They just want the rarest tryhard shiny status symbol, influencer approved
>>59623831>They just want the rarest tryhard shiny status symbolThat is an aspect of collecting, yeah.
>>59623816I want to collect the pokemon and art I like, if it coincides with being rare and uber expensive is just a detriment to me, I don't care about their value.
>>59623865pure trash
Do you think the 30th Sneasel will go up or down in price?
>>59624278down
>>59624278up
>>59624278stay the same
>>59624292>>59624338>>59624342mmm yes very helpful, arigato
So this whole "omg scalpers are losing their minds over 30th anniversary" thing is cope right? People are still buying ETBs and shit at an inflated price and things are still sold out.
>>59624530someone made a few fake discord messages and every normalfag fell for it
>>59624530Scalpers are definitely annoyed, but they also know there are people who will just pay them. Normal people who don’t interact with scalpers or trade with others will have to be patient until the new stuff drops and prices become stable then they can easily get things.
>>59623865Nice eebees, always thinking about getting the fat one.
>>59622682Kek, devious
>>59624530I mean, majority of the cards in the set are omega cheap because of how good pull rates are. Scalpers are selling but they are making less
>>59624633I almost never open cards, and it would be nice to walk into a store and buy some 30th for it's regular price. I just want to open like 10 packs and enjoy it. I'm disgusted to what has happened to this TCG.
>both future shit cards already crashing in value cause no one thinks they look goodheh
New bread when >>59624679I have a lot to say to your post but I'll save it for next thread
>>59624836I hope it's nice.
>>59624860It's not. Legendary Collection cards are singlehandedly the ugliest looking cards they have ever released.
>>59624679I finally had some luck today early in the morning at target. Was able to get a poster collection and tech sticker set. Got two full arts from the openings and three ex cards. Might try and get a mini tin or two when those release
>>59624923Oh okay, well they're my friend's cards anyway. I just redid his childhood binder a few years ago. It's crazy how much they're worth.
ereader cards are still the best to this day
>>59624982They really grew on me.
>>59624836>>59624989
>>59624990expedition charmander is probably my favorite
If you don't play the games you should kill yourself
>>59624530The cult-like bullshit around sealed product has become so retarded that even when we get the full lineup in October and November and singles prices tank to CZ levels, retards will still cling onto their investing delusion and keep the ETB and UPC prices as high as they can. Redditors with no self control will fall for it, and I will get even cheaper singles.
Are there any naked loli cards out there? Like explicit with visible nipples or butt.Figure you guys would be the ones to know.
>>59625979Theres no nipples shown on any cards, as for butts I can only think of korrinas focus full art and brigette full art . We do get nice feet cards every now and then. Best ones would be caitlin full art, bea full art, and starmie v csr with mistys tummy and feet showing
