>still buying physical
>Mogs you
Where do you guys get the money to afford these things? I got a couple of ones I'm aiming to Christmas gift some frens, but I'm hitting a speedbump with some home repairs I had to make. Easiest option I think'd be to help neighbors with handyman repairs for cash on weekends, but nobody's asking for work.
>>59653769t. seething faggot investor/hoarder
>>59655161Do you not have a job?
>>59655228Primary job, but I got expenses up the ass that come first, and the price at the pump isn't helping matters much. Discretionary income's getting less and less, and I'm trying to find a side-gig to make money. The rideshare/food delivery's an option, but it also'll spike my insurance premiums, so that's probably out.
>>59655161I have a job and also sell things I dont need.
>still
my most expensive card is my Lost Origin Giratina V alt art
>>59655526Mine is this exclusive mew, I was so lucky to find it for just $5 on AliExpress!
Lugia classic gets pulled from simplified Chinese set. According to the idiots here, the Chinese steal all the hits and reseal the packs. https://youtu.be/RiUJqs8VxEU
I just bought this.
We dont care, Chang.
>>59655200I have exactly 1 ancient mew, just like everyone else. A card substantially loses its cool factor when every single person alive has one. Even a poorfag like you can get one for $40.
This is what you can get out of one $95 Chinese box off aliexpress.
>>59655003So when will the vintage prices come crashing down? A month? A year?
>>59655161I just line up early and pay msrp.
>>59655621vintage never goes down
>>59655161I live with my parents, have 0 friends and don't travel, you normoid.
>>59655161I'm a true poorfag existing on government handouts. My most expensive card is worth about £30.
>>59655556he cute
>>59655624lol
>>59656188A lot of pokemanchildren are going to learn what a bubble is in the near future and I can't wait.
>>59656208>near future2 more weeks
>>59655003none of the recents sets had anything I really wanted do I got a bunch of mtg cards
>>59655621Two weeks.
>>59656528Old Magic cards look so good. I should really dig up my old shoebox.
Bought this Gardevoir at HP but it really only has a tiny bend on it that would still make it a PSA 4. Think I could get atleast MP price for it.
>buying and opening sealed
>>59655582I already have one and I want other people to get them as well. it looks cool and has a nice legacy. I dont care about its value or oversaturation of the market
opened my first 30th booster box (6 packs). This is what I got
>>59656409>>59656985Is this some zoomer meme that I'm too employed to understand?
How to dragon shield sleeves compare to the sleeves from ETBs? I've got a bunch of penny sleeves, but ETB sleeves fit cards better than penny sleeves and also slide into my binders better. Penny sleeves are a super tight fit in those pockets. If dragon shields are similar to ETB sleeves then I'll probably switch to using those.
>>59657682Nice Dark Tyranitar.
>>59657682If you didn't get a dupliChu you won basicallyGetting Dark Tyranitar was a bonus
>>59655621In a couple of months, we're still in the 30th anniversary bubble. Prices start surging about a year before the 5 years cycle and crash right after.>>59657777Checked.
>>59657934Overwriting Bolt Pikachu is also the most expensive 30thchu at $2.70 usd. It made me re-read the card as I initially glossed over it and thought it said "until the beginning of your next turn."
>>5965795330th has nothing to do with vintage prices
Modernchads eating good while vintagefags sufferI also have my vintage binder ready for when roles are reversed
>>59655552Wasn’t it Japanese packs that that Chinese factory was filmed resealing? They’re leaving their own packs alone lel
>>59658156it's bothGem packs are the most prominent example.
>>59658147I'm sorry but these are all incredibly ugly.
Man why are skyridge cards so much more expensive in comparison to aquapolis and expedition
>>59658369lowest pop run of any set ever
>>59658283You just have shit taste, sorry.
>>59658147>when roles are reversedAnd what makes you think that's ever going to happen?
>>59658457The vintage pump is very recent, in the last 2 years modern was the invoostor focus and vintage was very affordable with few exceptions like gold stars and shadowless base.
>>59658510People thought that about retro games too but oddly enough when something is no longer produced and the supply can only decrease regardless of demand, prices increase! Imagine that!
>>59658325incense
>>59657682>One ar, one 30th and one sarYou got scammed
https://www.instagram.com/p/DeXGSAyMW2o/Watch this and tell me we aren't close to the end of this bubble. You better find some whore or noob to sell your cards at premium prices.
>>59658637any day now, sis
>>59658637>T-two more weeks!Maybe if jewtendo reprints every single set
>>59658637>https://www.instagram.com/p/DeXGSAyMW2o/>1st edition>not 1st editionWho's getting scammed, her or me?
>>59658637Is this an actual whore that is opening packs? I wouldn't mind seeing her naked.
>>59658843It's that annoying thot jumping on and cracking Lambo's windshields.>Google jellybeanxoo leak
who cares
Lugia and zard are still overpriced
in four weeks millions of people are going to rip boxes of 30 packslugia and zard will keep falling
>>59658454>modern>taste
>>59659063At this point it doesn't even matter if more cards are on the market. They will be the same exact prices as they are now. Even when people have 100 ancient Mew cards on ebay, they'll still sell them at the market cap.
>>59659149Nah, it will drop biglyInvestors lostThat's why they're all piling on vintage nowDelta Reign is going to suck as well
>>59659149Lugia was 300 a week ago
>>59659124full art > nostalgia slop
Help I need a 9 pocket zip binder that can hold at least 400 cards isn't awkward to close when filled to capacity.Any recommendations?
>>59658634arisu sex
>>59659214Oh no... cheap product, what ever will I do...?
>the bubble will pop in just two more weeks Bro!!!!!You faggots have been saying this all year
>>59658634it was only my first 6 packs, I would be surprised if I was an instant rng god
>>59659541>You faggots have been saying this all year>all yearHow NEW are you??? tards have been saying the bubble is bursting for years now
Uh oh melty
>>59659280>censored feet
>>59659559comics have always referenced other media. Not a big deal.
>>59659559is Gwen blonde now?
>>59659559I'd only be mad that it looks like complete shit. They had the template to copy from and fucked it all up.
>>59659339Please!
Would you put it pass Creatures to print Pokemon to the ground like Konami does?
>>59659872Why would they want less hype and free advertising for their product?
Found a scammer on ebay. Giving it till the end of the day to message back before they get reported.Ordered a card, they claim they double listed, then trying to say they have a YT channel, and can sign me up as a repeat buyer.
>>59660288I ordered a chinese copy as I liked the star pattern. The cunt "pulled" a star variant, yet is trying to sign me up to some repeat bollocks instead of sending the card out. There's one in the image. Fucking scamming cunt.
>>59660291So annoyed I forgot to attach the image.Livid.
>>59660288Hope they'll help you out.I reported a fake Chandelure card listed on ebay multiple times and all they did was give me a warning to stop abusing the system.
>>59660303I had it with a pitch black triple booster pack a few months ago, but got my money back. Crazy stuff.This is (IMO) clearly a scam, as there's the star variant in the image, and seller claimed they pulled them, so why not just send out that card to me?
Luv my 'zam
How is Gold Star Greninja still so cheap? I know it went up from $1.50 to about $20-ish which is already a huge leap but it should be worth a lot more.>ETB promo exclusive (like even for an etb promo this is cheap)>For a set that's 5 years old>Drawn by the same gold star artist who did all the other gold star cards>Isn't a reprint, is a legit honest to god gold star, the last one made so far>Looks coolIt still boggles my mind people are sleeping on this card. Dragapult Prime is in the semi-same situation.
>>59660288You post in a general with subhumans like this
>>59660460I probably over reacted, but no need to call me a subhuman.
>>59660467He's saying this generals inhabitants are subhuman. Time to do those advanced english classes saarr
>>59660474But I am an inhabitant of this general. So is anybody posting. You are in here.>Time to do those advanced english classes saarrIs that just projection?
>>59655118>aceLOL
What websites do you all use to check if a card has duplicate art or was reprinted elsewhere with the same holo? Its really difficult using Google lens as the results are ass and the ai is a schizophrenic mess.
I did it Krautbros I got to order 1x ttb 2x displays and 2x booster bundlesMy delta reign christmas is saved thank you pokecenter
>>59659541Looks like it is popping to me, I would have paid double or triple to pick this card of my waifu just a couple of months ago.
>>59660749basedI got through the queue but decided not to order at the last second because I already bought too much 30th.
>>59660779Nice! I got next to no 30th so... now I'll just hope singles go down a good amount in half a year
>>59660784>I got next to no 30thThankfully I got lucky on Amazon and with the Smyths restock.At least you got a chance with Delta now. Best of luck with you pulls mate.
>>59660802how can you not get next to no 30th?are you a turd worlder whose country barely gets any allocation?
investorbros, we STILL eating good
>>59660809you'd know its Germany if you could read and yes, Germany got completely fucked with 30th allocation.
>>59660812>Germany got completely fucked with 30th allocation.well fuglooks like allocation outside of usa and japan are fucked
>>59660811
>>59660811How does looking at this video, saving it to your phone, and then posting it with an "ironic" shitpost to a 4chan thread benefit you or anyone else here in any way? Have you ever stepped back and thought about what you're doing with your life, and how much time you've wasted that you'll never get back?
>>59660869t. mother of the boy in the video
Another card for the anon section.
>Buy a card on cardmarket>Seller messages me saying he just got back from a vacation and that he was planning to increase the price of the card but i managed to buy it first>Now asking 2,5k more for the cardI contacted support about it but curious if other anons have experience with situations like this. I imagine if i refuse to pay he just refuses to ship it or "forgets" to give me a tracking code or some other bullshit
>>59661082>how DARE you not be as addicted to ragebait as me!!!yawnAnswer the question.
>>59661082>motherlol no chance, scalping kids' toys is 100% deadbeat dad behavior
>seller sends me the wrong $6 card>top loader was used to make it rigid but the actual card wasn't in the toploader, it was in another envelope behind it>message him>he tells me to return it>I'll give you negative feedback if you won't just refund me for $6>SINCE YOU JUST THREATENED ME ...GO FOR IT...YOU KNOW WHATS GREAT ABOUT THE NEG REMARKS...IS AFTER YOU LEAVE IT IM ABLE TO RESPOND IN WRITING SO I CAN CUT AND PASTE YOUR THREAT FOR EVERYONR TO SEE...SO GO FOR IT....AND ON TOP OF THAT I CAN SEND IT TO EBAY AS A THREAT THAT YOU WANT ME TO REFUND YOU AND KEEP THE CARD...SO AS I SAID 2X GO FOR IT....I LOVE A GOOD FIGHT....Who was in the wrong here? Am I being cheap?
>>59661821>I don't want my product. Give me $6 or I report uYou're a fucking retard.
>>59661821You are unequivocally in the wrong.
>>59661863>>59661880I apologized to them and gave them positive feedback.
>>59660811>The bubble WILL pop bros that's why basketball Americans are going to get rich keeping shit sealed
>buy a "near mint" $100 card on tcgplayer from a sponsored seller with 50000+ sales>there's an obvious nick in the corner of the card when it arrives, instantly letting me know the card is a PSA 8 or 7 at bestYeah this collecting cards thing is a joke.
/ourgirl/ is going to some indo convention. She's one of the few artists I would get a card signed by.
>>59662059Who?
>>59662061Artist behind some of the best cards in the TCG
do I really wanna risk $20 for a chinese card
>>59662061
>>59659872The difference is that Konami reprints cards into new sets regularly versus Pokemon that only prints one card per the set. If you missed a card in one set, likely it'll show up in the same rarity or higher in a future set. The more in demand the card is, the more likely it'll keep getting reprinted. The only difference will be the code, but I think most people won't care if the code says 'CORE-EN001' or 'INVE-EN001' as long as everything else is the same.Pokemon doesn't reprint the exact same card in different sets- and if they do, usually its different like adding a 30th anniv logo or changing the art (unless I am mistaken on that). Konami rarely goes back and reprints sets outside of the first 4 or 5 months, mostly because the set will still be readily available a year or two from now in most cases. Konami is the one who takes advantage of its audience more than scalpers could ever dream of.
>>59661952what
>>59662058I have no idea why so many dipshits use TCG Player over eBay. Photos are mandatory on eBay, but I see them on maybe 5% of TCG listings. Why would you ever pay 100 bucks for a piece of cardboard without seeing it first?
>>59662067I mean this as sincerely and nicely as possible; if you're worried about $20, you might need to save this hobby for when you're in a better financial state.
>>59661471What card was it that a seller can increase it by 2.5k on a whim?
>>59661901Ha! We got you! You were actually right!
>>59662058But NM is PSA8, are you one of those delusional fags who say things like "PSA10 candidate"?
>>59662200I can afford $20, but its an expensive card otherwise so itll be the $20, its fake/shit, and then the price of a legit one
>>59662080She kyute
>>59660460to be fair there are professional services now basically altering PSA and BGS cards, manipulating the market and you complain if a random Anon does it in his room with kindergarten equipment?The fact that these cards don't come back as "Altered", exposes what a shitshow grading is.
>>59662254If PSA is going to scam you, you might as well try to scam them back.
>>59662080NTA but I was trying to think of her the other day. Cute, but does look a bit BPD (it's the eyes, it's always the eyes).
>>59662121wait until someone tries to manipulate the prices of the "1996 KAZUKI TAKAHASHI" cards and you'll see the same cancer that's plaguing Pokemon and One Piece.
>>59662426Logan Paul already tried. Yugioh is very resilient to scalping.
>>59662426Yugioh players beat up scalpers and heavily gatekeep their hobby, Pokefags don't They prefer to stay small rather than become big and have their cards scalped to oblivion
Ygo has been heavily scalped since the overframe THE HEROES boxBooster boxes used to be dirt cheap before this
today's mail brought cool stuff
