People like you ruin it for those who actually enjoy the hobby

if you can only spend 50 bucks a month i personally wouldnt recommend investing in a etb. i would say try to save up for a booster box. if the set goes well like surging sparks id sell it. after that id say just buy booster boxes that are less and demand and rip these open en sell the packs lose for a profit. this way you can invest more in the run.

Don't let the comments get to you. It seems like everything is toxic these days because it's easier to stand out with controversy and everything has become so competitive. The term "investing" is thrown around pretty loosely these days, mostly because finance channels attract higher ad revenue, but I agree-- The sense of ownership is dumb. It's all just semantics. Don't let it corrupt your passion.

Uhhhh you’re completely wrong. Pokémon absolutely is an investment. Are you not aware that people have bought and sold Pokémon for tens of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands of dollars? Making insane profits. A box of cards they bought from the Pokémon company for $160 and then is sold for tremendously more is indeed an investment

Well you see, people are buying at 65 and then when they see someone listing at 50 they will buy them at 50 to get a discount. You will always have people looking to buy yours for 50 to then resell back for 65. You're ruining your own business by folding trying to undercut.

Well...here I go...I am the guy everyone hates. Today(11/7)I bought out all surging sparks products at 5 Walmarts-including all 151 product and a few other items. I do this weekly. Not to mention I order cases upon cases from every single seller when a new set goes to pre-order. I have multiple accounts etc. My point is that I entered the hobby like most people-wanting to rip some packs and get some hits but when I realized how hard it was to get products especially at regular price thats when I turned to the darkside. I weigh EVERYTHING. I scan I weigh etc etc I do it all. Because there's no beating the big guys. So I joined them. I know I'll get hate but I'm over it at this point-I've got 10k in surging sparks the day before release and im already selling it at near double price. You're either a consumer or a producer. I became a producer because I was tired of being the consumer. Good luck y'all🎉

This is so dumb. It's cardboard. Calm yourself. I play at league, and we have plenty of decks to play without paying an arm and a leg, and neither would I want to. Pokemon is supposed to be entry level fun. Not neckbeard nerds jacking up prices.
@prodigal997 күн бұрын
It's only natural for things that are highly coveted to be "jacked up" in price, especially when there isn't enough supply to meet the demand. It's a basic business principle. I don't understand all the comments about how "It'S jUsT CaRdBOaRd." That's like saying "money is just paper." Just to put into perspective how dumb that sounds. I don't know why you are even talking about "playing at league" or "having many affordable decks." That's completely irrelevant in this discussion. You think people open cases of booster packs because they want to build the strongest meta decks? Pokemon has the lowest percentage of players vs collectors compared to any ccg on the market. Collectors could care less about playing at league or building decks. Are you just now learning about the collectable aspect of this hobby? If you just enjoy playing the game, then what are you even doing concerning yourself with this side of the hobby? You can completely ignore the fact that everything is selling out, since everyone will list singles from their bulk for nickels and dimes. Like wdym "it's *supposed* to by entry level?" Since when did you have to "pay an arm and a leg to play?" There are even dirt-cheap, common versions of *all* the rarest cards. The rare versions don't provide any advantages in game over the common versions. You should already know this??? I can assure you no one is paying a premium to play the game. What people are spending on is the rare collectible aspect of certain cards. None of which will affect you or the cost of your decks.

Why would you say Surging Sparks is getting overshadowed just because everyone is talking about a new release. The sales of Surging Sparks stayed literally the same, even bumped up a bit on TCGplayer and eBay EVEN through a price raise (selling for 160 on TCGplayer as of the time of this comment). Deliver facts not feelings.

Don’t be fooled. This article does not confirm an English reprint, just the fact that a new product is being created. Most likely this is with left over stock. The fact that they specifically state that there will be a Japanese reprint but avoid the verbiage all together for English makes me believe even stronger that there will not be an English 151 reprint. Obviously every company likes making money, but Pokémon is very strategic on how they make theirs. Think about how easy it would be for them to port the old games to switch, add online battling and a ranking ladder. TAKE MY MONEY. Pokémon forgoes this option, but why? Because they believe it will pull from their new products. With the next special set right around the corner and all the new sets due to be released within the next year (sparks, rocket, trainers) PC will look to push these products onto the surge of new customers, not just have them stuck on 151

As someone who is just getting back in to collecting and stumbled across your videos, I can't help but see what you and many others do as a huge issue. There doesn't seem to be any interest in the hobby or collecting at all, your just in it to create an over inflated secondary market so you can make money, which puts genuine collectors who are passionate about the hobby, completing sets, etc out of pocket. So when I can't get hold of a product, or it's instantly sold out because people like you are bulk buying it to out it on a shelf so you can make £100 in a few years time, I will think of you.
