You look toasted

[@thomasshenton577]

Thanks again for another Gem, definitely have too be aware of certain things ❤

[@DannyPhantump]

Thanks so much!

[@JSins6D9]

The thing I don’t like about TCGplayer is that people will blindly buy a “NM” card and only go off of a stock photo with no idea what the actual condition of the card is. With eBay most sellers post decent pictures for seeing condition. You also can’t go off of “NM” sold listings for prices because some cards are listed NM but have whitening and scratches all over.

[@Nottherealone426]

i agree reputable sellers are pretty good with it, but on a higher value card i like to see pics on ebay

[@joshuapark4329]

You can easily take that risk with modern on the low to mid prices since there are so many readily available, but yes, ebay is the way to go for older eras and what not.

[@JSins6D9]

@@joshuapark4329 yeah I agree low to mid priced cards with reputable sellers you can take that risk but paying $100+ for a card without evening seeing what it looks like is insane to me.

[@doloreschansey9556]

Not all people. I don't buy a card with no pictures posted.

[@inkedBc]

If it is a little whitening in the corners with no scratches that’s still near mint . Remember near mint is a psa 8 I remember selling a card on eBay with really great pictures and the guy complained about a spec of whitening and a print line on the card 😂 he said that I deceived him and gave me a bad review and filed for a refund without even consulting me . He said I put near mint and the card was not near mint . I showed him a psa 9 with a print line on the same card with whitening on two different sides which was worse then what I sent . So sometimes I think buyers expect a psa 10 when they buy singles and don’t realize a near mint card can have whitening and be off center or have print lines . This card was Morty’s conviction from temporal forces when it first came out . Which most of them had a print line going through the gangar. . Every listing I found had one except for one or two at the time . I do agree the card should still be a psa 8 if sold at near mint listing .

[@TeachMeTheFormuoli]

Bottom line is that people should do their own research, especially if they are buying a $100+ card. This can go both ways too. When I was buying the Metagross alt art last month it was like $4 on TCGplayer and $6-8 on eBay. Now it’s more expensive on TCGplayer. Just separate markets so as a buyer you need to have some awareness.

[@doloreschansey9556]

I havent watched every single video this year but i have watched and liked the vast majority!! cant wait to see more fun content!

I appreciate you fam 💜

[@TripleTeeCG]

Hey Danny, it was awesome seeing you at card party and thank you so much for autographing our Phanny Packs!

[@DannyPhantump]

It was so great seeing you as well! I hope you had a blast!

[@AlltheAces101]

The only thing to fight this is to not buy the cards at these prices. The sellers can sell to themselves all they want but that doesn't actually make them money. Unfortunately, human beings are not known for self control.

[@mattao18]

This, period. The buyer has all the power. If no one buys a scalped ticket or video game console then they get returned to buy at retail price. It's a really simple concept.

[@thehobbydad6930]

People FOMO to much. The market fluctuates and prices WILL go down again. Buy outs for Tag Teams, Supporters, Waifu, Alt Art, Rainbow have all gone up and come down at some point. Some stay higher for longer but for the most part they all become affordable again. Megas have literally gone up and down 5 times since they first started coming out!

[@AlltheAces101]

@@thehobbydad6930 that's good to hear! Everytime I bring up thr alts going down I get attacked lol prob investment bros

[@NinjaStroll]

It's possible these people are using a bad credit card that will reject payment. But tcgplayer still take that purchase into account bumping up market price.

[@thehobbydad6930]

@@NinjaStroll interesting theory.

[@djragesage]

First here at 9 seconds uploaded!

[@Evanlix3333]

nice

[@mattao18]

The price increases become even wilder compared to foreign counterparts : I just grabbed the Chinese PSA 9 of the Gengar Mimikyu for $19.99 days ago.

[@nickcarballo6039]

Literally why i only collect foreign copies now. Only thing worth actually speccing on us the chase SIRs aside from that im Japanese singles all day. Even then the Greninja just isn't good enough especially when the promo Greninja and Kingdra were revealed shortly after TMs release.

[@andrewmahabir589]

Foreign quality usually better too anyways

[@jarnelg564]

Danny and people often dont realize/acknowledge that these prices dont reflect people that buy cards but cancel their orders. Also people buy their own stuff to fluff the price then "return" it

[@icymango626]

I have 😊

[@snackbread]

Might not have watched all175, Probably 164 😊

[@DannyPhantump]

That’s still amazing

[@damienrosario2471]

Yup, I've watch every video. I won from you an Evolving Skies booster box on my birthday so I'm a subscriber for life!

Danny 5 shades darker 😎 😅

In my darkness mode 💪

[@cheezwombat1]

@DannyPhantump lol dark phantump needs to be a thing now, although it's origin is pretty dark already

[@MooreGamingRaidShadowLegends]

Not implying a connection.........the dates of the market manipulation coincided with the weekend of the TCG North American International Championship tournament.

[@andrewmahabir589]

they really are drunk I'm like for the reg? the REG?!

[@ManifestoO7]

Sir i'm looking to buy some vintage Pokemon booster packs. I dont trust ebay so can you sell me some ? I'm from India .

[@Adam-Adamson]

I "bought out" a couple of cards I love, not to resell but to get the quantity I wanted, some cards I want a 100 copies of and I prefer to get them from TCGplayer as I can but in bulk vs picking cards up at a time.

[@beplostudios]

What possessed you to want 100 copies lol?

[@Adam-Adamson]

@@beplostudios I don’t know, it’s not always big cards sometimes common card, when I love the card I try to buy 100 copies

[@HenDawg.206]

I watch all the videos I can!! Even the shorts. Although working so much nowadays I miss the live streams and the giveaways I possibly win. Womp womp

[@jcewata]

Always felt like tcgplayer NM was LP at best but with no pictures, even bigger gamble than buying packs hoping for a nice copy.

[@DannyV_26]

I've "watched" pretty much every video over the past year if you count skipping the first 4-6 minutes of irrelevant talking from each one.

[@jennifer2759]

I just purchased the Chinese full art version (because it was significantly cheaper) of this card for my 7 year old after watching someone pull it in a recent opening video. 🤪

[@itseams]

People need to stop using TCGPlayer Market Price as the ‘Gold Standard’ until they fix their shit to take account for these phony sales. It’s clear their system is being abused and they need to take some responsibility here

[@marijnnoorlander4613]

I just buy cards I like for a price I think it’s worth it. Of course I use some websites to see jf I am not totally overspending 🤣

[@dylanvermette4367]

Do you think the tag team hyper rares will go up in value over time? I have been collecting BGS 10 hyper rare tag teams and they are amazing!

[@dylankimbro1115]

Hey Danny come down to Bowling Green, Ky and I would loved to take you to our local stores in the area. Outta plan around a TCG tournament that we will host here.

[@austinfruithandler]

Watched about all the videos this year. It was great meeting you at card party. Thanks again for helping me understand the market and getting ideas for my online store

[@addwriter]

I might have seen all of them 😂 My day job is very repetitive and boring so I always look forward to seeing your daily video

[@poke_hoard422]

I think a percentage cap from market price should be established such as say 20%, then a card with a market price of $100 could only max out at $120 and so on and if it goes up it's truer market

[@TheCollector123]

whats the bes tcard and sealed product you have plus beest uppl and ebst of luckl dnauy pahntu,p;lkdj.

[@moody9898]

Maybe if a certain percentage of a card gets sold there could be a price freeze where you can only post cards for that price for a week or so

[@thrumugnyr]

Sorry, but how does 50$ for a basic GX card make sense? Dany please. That was already completely nuts.

[@BigSlimC]

I’ve always said since sun and moon team up came out this was the better version of the tag team . Never cared back then or now to have the alt full art

Hey Danny, great video today!😊

[@McAir12]

Danny, i just started buying singles off of tcgplayer. Is there a reason so few listings have pictures of the cards they're selling?

[@ASilentTurtle]

Dishonesty. They are banking on the fact that most people believe what they are told is true and correct (spoiler: it's not), and that they won't make a fuss over receiving a card that isn't in the condition they expected/were told.

[@AngelsAwesomeAdventures]

EVERY SINGLE VIDEO GANG!

[@Dr.BG_23]

Were you wearing sunglasses? Loving the nose skin tone diversity! 😂

[@DannyPhantump]

lol all the time. I look rodiculous

[@tredici72]

Whether it be market manipulation or not there’s no use winging about spikes in prices now, most of you had the chance to buy these cards at reasonable prices, for example that Gengar/Mimikyu GX was sitting below $50 for ages, you either didn’t love it enough for your collection or you were waiting for it drop to an unrealistic low price.

[@JamesSherer]

Yea I’m done with the hobby. I have master sets of everything since sun and moon. Pull rates suck, never get your value when opening product, singles way too expensive now. 100% done. going to sell everything.

[@JasonPaquette8]

Does TCGPLAYER charge the sellers per transaction? If not maybe they should. It may stop these fake purchases for almost double the market price

[@lowdowndirty100]

I’ve never sold on TCG player but I do dabble with selling some of my collection here and there on eBay. I saw that the Giratina Vstar secret rare from crown zenith was selling for like $120 recently on TCG player and was like wow I’ll throw mine up on eBay. I made the mistake of thinking I’d easily sell it for no less than $110 based off the tcg player graph and low and behold my eBay auction ended and it only sold for $88 lol take away eBay fees I really only made out with $75. That was really eye opening for me

[@Game_On]

Watched all your videos for 2024 including shorts. Might not finish them but did watch a majority of the videos

[@Asuperbad]

I didn’t try to do it, but I started watching your videos around the same time you started the challenge. I kept coming back everyday to learn more and watch the market.. I didn’t realize it but I have definitely watched 99% if not all the videos you’ve posted since the challenge started. I appreciate your craft broski!!!! 🙌 thank you!

[@sentient_sapien]

Great meeting you at card party! I’m watching all your new videos and always find something informative and/or helpful, keep up the great work! With TCG buyouts something I notice is the card will be listed at the same inflated price in various conditions (NM LP HP etc)..I wonder if those reflect the actual cards for sale or if it is a loophole that helps inflate the price across the board

[@robertbushjr5947]

Congrats on making this far with the streak I’m excited to see what you start filming in July and forward. Good luck 🍀

[@Evanlix3333]

sup

[@jtax9]

Here is the thing, I don't think they should hide sales cause that just is being shady and manipulative. What I think they should do is give a marking on the card that they experienced a buyout for this card for X number of time or just say that X card jump X amount the last day

[@DannyPhantump]

I like that idea!
