How come TCGplayer sellers offer so many cards for just a few cents each? The same ones at card shows or card shops are way more expensive.

need somewhere to vent abt the deceptive practices of a gacha. too embarassed to admit i fell for it to anyone who knows me. tldr they advertised 200% bonus play credit on your first deposit but then after the transaction goes through, tell you the bonus play credit is unlocked through using your real credit for play, at a rate of 2 percent. I wasn't allowed to just play everything at once. This means you have to play 50X worth the bonus amount to unlock it, which is practically impossible to do with the amount you deposited, since of course you're most likely to be losing 40-50% of your deposit every play. I was fortunate enough to only lose a hundred bucks on this and I'm not really mad about that, but I do really think this should be categorized as a type of fraud and more than ever I want some sort of rules to be created for online gambling. For fucks sake, I'm in Vegas for work trips every month and still I have never felt this taken advantage of in any of their casinos ever. I will be okay but I can only imagine the gambling addicts out there that will not.

>In July 2003, The Pokémon Company took the place of Wizards of the Coast as publisher for the cards. The first set published by Pokémon USA, Inc. was EX Ruby and Sapphire.

Is it fair to say then that true "vintage" cards are only those that were made by Wizards of the Coast?

Vintage cards are only 2003 and below

I bought a WOTC card on saturday. £2. I did forget where a table was that had a load of e reader cards, and there was a cool pre release card I saw, but walked away before buying it.
I'm aiming for 3 cardshows next year. In the same places I went this year, but then 1 extra. I didn't do too bad for my 2nd show, came home with money and a decent amount of cards. But didn't remember any of the vendors who I bought cards off.

i mean the deceptive part shouldve been it remotely helping you not get completely rinsed. not it just being completely unusable. Like I said, free play at a casino is just free play, no retarded strings attached. It doesn't help you win, because you're never going to win, but it also isn't just a bold-faced lie.

Nice! I’ve been wanting to pick that card up for a while now.

I actually just got these from a buddy of mine. I normally wouldn’t spend this much on cards, especially graded ones, but he gave me a pretty good deal at 70% of market value for both since he didn’t feel like dealing with selling them online or taking it to our LGS. Pretty happy with the pickup overall.

If youre a true collector why would you not take profit where possibly selling a few cards could cover what you paid for your entire collection so far? And why would you let these newfag subhumans profit off your hobby instead of long term true collectors like yourself? You are leaving more money to funnel into these investorbros pockets by not being actively involved in the market by selling and taking some share of the pool of money available in the market.
>>
>>59687716
Not in the same conditions.
The few others NM cards available have white dots or little scratches and are anyway still almost the double than trending price.
I could just wait 3-4 months and maybe the prices would normalize, Idk.

Because 90% of the browns in this general are incapable of thinking this far ahead. You're supposed to hang on to every single card you dont like or else you're an evil investor.

how do I just get some cards? my son found out about Pokemon and is now into the cards after his friend started showing up to school with them. we cruised by target a couple of times looking for cards but they're always sold out. It looks like Walmart sells boxes of multi packs for inflated prices. Im just looking for a couple of small packs at non inflated prices. any tips? are all the packs/series the same? is there only one series being sold at any given time?
thanks

People forget MTG was bigger than Pokemon and YGO combined and boomers hoarding it caused it to just become redundant in the eyes of zoomers and basedlennials, add to that Wizards focusing on commander and turning MTG into a family board game and what you have left is a husk of what MTG used to represent. Wizards and scalping boomers caused MTG to leave the general zeitgeist and now no one gives a fuck about magic as an investment because there is no liquidity in MTG

Same goes for yugioh and their awful mismanagement of their IP

A lot of TCG/gaming stores have pocket money binders for kids and bulk/accessories to build decks for cheap, plus if you get in good they’ll often have customer preorders for new sets.
>>
>>59689234
Riftbound is pretty rife with investoors, as is Gundam and I imagine the new Naruto TCG will be. It’s more of a matter of said investoors actually being able to cash out of Pokemon to fully ruin other TCGs before the bubble pops and not just shill and exchange cards with eachother to drive market up.

I might be cooked... I just want 1 (ONE) Prismatic ETB. Have never opened a single one in the entire time it's been released because scumfuck scalpers have ruined finding product in person and there's no fucking way I'm paying $100+ for one. I've already given up ever getting a Super Premium Collection. But not even an ETB? Pokemon Center better reprint the shit out of this set when their new factory finishes next year.
So ridiculous how a billion dollar company can't reprint their sets to meet demand. If they can make plushies card sleeves and other merch print to order why not cards, no other card game has this problem

Thats a 3DS console. The original poster was referring to a set of lenticular cards called Action 3D's (not the 3DS console) showing Pokemon Stadium 3D Pokemon models (a huge draw of stadium back then) moving around or evolving. These were distributed randomly in packets of chips in Australia in the early 2000s. Their picrel was of the folder you could purchase at your local supermarket to put the 3D cards in. In other words, they were collectible cards called "3D"s not the 3DS console.

Okay next try here in the right section: Hey, I need some advice. I bought this card on its 20th anniversary when it came out. I asked someone in Japan to get it for me and ship it over. The problem is, back then people weren't total turbo-autists about Pokémon yet, so he just shipped it normally. As you can see, the corner has a tiny ding/dent. How would PSA grade something like this? I'm thinking about sending it in.
>>
>>59696802
It would get a psa 6, maybe a psa 7 if psa is feeling generous. I would send that card to a card cleaner and have that dent and scratches fixed.
>>
>>59696826
that little dent is a big problem? oh... i think psa 7 or 8 but 6 is really hard... thanks
>>
>>59696839
Dents automatically get dropped down to a psa 6, but sometimes psa gives dented cards a 7 if the dent is subtle.

“Low pop” terrible grades are a complete meme. All cards are damaged cards waiting to happen. Every single card contains within it the potential of all possible lower grades.

I asked this question in the other TCG thread, but I was redirected to this general instead. Do you guys think the 30th UPC will be worth getting? I might just buy two to ripe one, keep one. I already have some sealed product, and I might just rip them all if it's really not worth keeping them sealed. I admit it does take away from the spirit of the hobby by just hoarding boxes.
>>
>>59701210
Keep one etb sealed if you like the aesthetic and you want to display it. Any more sealed hoarding for the sake of investing makes you a cum gurgler niggerfaggot.

If you can get one and love pokemon cards, just open it, look at previous modern UPC crashes and don’t try to invoost when the market is really high like this and being artificially pumped. Good luck fighting scalpers IRL who bring whole gangs of people to line up with and online with their bots though.

Fellow Germanon, are you prepared for the rumored 30th drop on the Pokemon Center?

I thought this video was interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCNMyxTmNTI
The guy has basically been working at a printing press for most of his life, even printing Pokemon cards, and even he is surprised when the higher quality card was the fake one. It was interesting to me that he says the entire industry knows that Pokemon cards are printed with the lowest standards possible and even he didnt factor they would be that bad when having to judge which card was real or not.
>>
Made a nice profit selling AliExpress fakes and used them to buy some nice grade 10s

Not my problem
>>
>>59701659
it's kind of funny because I was immediately able to tell which was fake and I don't even own this card. SARs all have a sort of muted silver look to them and the fake is way too vibrant and reflective looking, especially noticeable in the blue in the background.

I do hate how so many Japanese cards get an arch due to the thinner cardstock, but I find the texture and detail way better than English

Pokemon cards really are kind of flimsy, I guess that makes them damage more easily and increase the price of older clean copies but I hope he didn’t BTFO her Dragonite too bad lel

Thoughts on buying super low priced slabs in 10s and 9s on ebay? I saw a reddit post of a Lucario card at a 8 iirc being sold for under market value at an auction. Was wondering if that's a good idea to flip cards or if auctions pump up at the last minute for under market value cards.
>>
I thought we all universally agreed grading is a scam
>>
>>59702126
Not sure if this is still the case, but for some time, you could get graded 8s and 9s for less than their raw “near mint” (they were never near mint) counterparts. No idea how this scenario came to be. Brainbroken gamblers buying up any decent raw cards and hoping for a 10; newfriends totally unacquainted with how grading actually works thinking any clean copy is guaranteed a 10; some third example I can’t think of. Whatever the case, for a while, there was no reason NOT to buy a highly graded card instead over its ungraded counterpart. Cheaper and almost always in better condition. Plus you could buy cards graded by the several dozen no-name grading companies for an even greater discount. This is ultimately how I filled the last few slots in my jungle and fossil 1st ed binder.
>>
>>59702095
No, you don't just think they are neat. You're actively shaming people because you need to feel better about overspending on an identical card for clout. People don't post their cards enough on this general as is, and it is because of retards like you. I'm sure girls will get all hot and bothered by your little 1st ed. stamp bozo

Why do TPC dislike Selene so much? Because they gave Ash the S&M protagonist role so the game protagonists now don’t get any merch? It’s a shame because the Galar protagonists got some presence in cards.

The people making the cards do not think about the secondary market. Its pretty much the effect of all of Pokemon, do the bare minimum and people will still buy it.

WS has much higher production values than pokemon cards. Pretty much all Japanese TCGs do, and it makes sense when you consider how pokemon prints exponentially more cards than the higher quality TCGs.
>>
>>59702435
I absolutely love those. Too bad I only found 2 packs left at my local target and haven't seen them since. I'm also too lazy to check online.

search amazon for snap cases, a handful of brands have them
