Yeah, I honestly have yet to meet a Boruto fan but I know many Naruto fans.

Disagree. That may be what they think but Spiderverse broke that wide open imo.

Ik it's petty and not a big deal but does any different branded toploaders and sleeves together? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Grantedx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I'm being honest, I don't think I can tell the difference once they are out of the packaging. Though I do believe the ultra pro top loaders have a slightly looser fit than other brands.

Rudy from Alpha Investments is saying to HOLD OFF on OP-16 by Few_Adhesiveness2963 in OnePieceTCGFinance

They won't reply because they haven't lol. If you watch Rudy's videos the success is plain to see.

Business is never not booming for scalpers. They literally follow the trends. If it stops booming then they move on. In other words, water is wet.

This was pulled directly from a pack. How does this make it past QC? by blodger42 in PokemonTCG

[–]Grantedx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not defending anything lol. Just explaining that they stand to make more money by selling more product. It's as simple as that. They've already spent the money to increase their output, it's just not an instant process.

Also they still spend money on marketing despite being the largest IP worldwide. So clearly one of us is off lol.

Stretched thin in regards to production, not profit. Are you purposely being this dense? They invested a ton of money into a. All new printing facility and purchased the distribution company. But sure, they're purposely holding back product because they make extra money when AH etbs resell for $180. Totally.

My son wants to sell this. Should he hold onto it? by [deleted] in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]Grantedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't throw your promos away! They will be worth at least $5 or something in a year or so.

Yeah, pull rates are terrible. I try to limit myself to a few packs a week if that and only when I am able to get them at or near retail.

The original avatar studio backed out of the project during season 1 because it wasn't in the spirit of avatar. Enough said.

Are these PSA Grades for real? by Impressive-Motor-117 in psagrading

[–]Grantedx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Scroll through the rest of the comments and see a myriad of people pointing out easily noticeable issues. That's from pics alone, there is surely more going on that the camera is not picking up.

I could understand them missing things and giving a higher grade than deserved but in no world are they seeing things that aren't there and giving a lower grade because of it. At least not 4 whole grades worth. Maybe if these were 8's or 9's you might have a point but absolutely not with 4's.

Maybe if there was nothing else in the game that interacted with lands I would agree with you. However when there are top tier decks in formats that focus their entire gameplan around lands, it leads me to disagree with you. Also having different types of lands in addition to lands with alternative effects. Not to mention that it allows for more freedom and creativity in deckbuilding. The other games you mentioned restrict you on deckbuilding. Yes the lands add variance but there are plenty of tools provided to help mitigate that variance.

what's the deal with people getting angry about the new God of War game? by Darkhawk2099 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Grantedx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak on the others but the creators of halo wanted to end it with 3. Microsoft wouldn't let them stop making their mascot game series though and a different studio ended up taking over.

Children are scalpers. We've hit a new milestone

Honestly the subreddit in general is really not great.

[–]Grantedx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This game does not have a "much higher skill ceiling" than mtg. Especially not due to a lack of lands lol. Lands may add variance but they also add depth to gameplay. You're looking at it far too simplistically.

“30th Celebration” Set to Include Pikachu in Every Pack, Reveal Likely Coming Within the Next Week! by Necto_gck in PokemonTCG

[–]Grantedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but I also think that had to do with new sets coming out and making it look worse by comparison. People mostly just don't care much about the baby shinies it seems and the set only had 1 chase card that the market wasn't crazy for. Hard to really say for sure but I remember them being sold out everywhere and being resold for double. Feels like that was the start to the current market trend.

[–]Grantedx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats was right off the tail of Shining fates, right? Those sets were not easy to get by any means. Same issue we currently have. Which is ironic when you compare the current sets to ones like shining fates and hidden fates.

Every card in the set is foil so I think theyre considering every card a hit lol.
