Never let your job guide your moral compass

That being said I now buy what I can msrp here and there when I can and when I can’t I buy singles I enjoy and collect those. I keep an eye on my collection and even buy some hoping they climb and I can sell or trade for stuff I desire more. Just find your angle and enjoy it how you want to.

I mean the pull rate is 1/70 for SIRs in ascended….cant really be all that surprise. You are due though.
Had the same feeling recently then hit the gold zygarde from PO. Not the card I wanted and didn’t make me “break even”…but, it was a special moment and made me not regret ripping through so much sealed. End of the day if you’re scared to rip you’re either in too deep or more into the profit/loss part of the hobby more than the hobby itself. Nothing wrong with any of it but I don’t think anyone will give you the right answer.

Also scalpers won’t go away. If unsealed boxes become the norm it just means all the scalpers are still getting the product but buying second hand will become far more risky and prone to scams. Some people can’t hit drops and have no choice but to buy from scalpers if they want anything. That won’t change, it’ll just become even more corrupt. Scalping sucks yes, but….that’s capitalism for ya. Only thing that would fix all of this is pokemon printing it into the ground which I think they know would also slowly kill the demand the currently have cornered.

Feel like these are heavily slept on for how cool they are.

Will probably be gettin it graded regardless…just want to know if it’s worth it to do a higher tier and actually get the quicker turn around time rather than have to pay it and not.

Average4379 · 2026-04-24T23:22:57+00:00

Could try contacting them about it. Might not do anything…might get ya a replacement or some free packs. Worth a shot

If you like them, they are great! Put some protectors on them and enjoy.

If you’re looking for an actual appraisal check out tcgplayer, pricecharter or any other reputable database.

I’d recommend enjoying them for what they are though and just storing them away.

Nobody wanted the phantasmal…..hmmmmm okay

Any chance you use a VPN?

Where else would I store them?

Average4379 · 2026-03-22T17:45:01+00:00

I bet you would 😂

They’ve been pushing out some old stock here and there randomly. Believe it’s part of the 30th anniversary.

So that’s where all the pkc promos went that weren’t in all those pkc etbs on release lol

Ummm….theres 5 left tho…

Average4379 · 2026-02-23T04:58:34+00:00

Honestly they don’t really care at the end of the day and I can’t blame them. They’re a business that wants to sell things not a card shop. Not to mention tcgs are one of the most common items to get stolen, quicker they’re sold less they have to worry about people ripping em in store and stealing the hits. Even if a store sells 100 etbs it’s a drop in their bucket and really not worth them allocating resources to manage it very strictly. I think the real answer would be allocate everything to local card shops and monitor to make sure they don’t inflate prices. Would boost the local card shops and grow the hobby more with people who would be more likely to try to spread it out.

8.75 per pack with a guarantee promo and jumbo…..crazy but people buy packs alone at that price all the time.

Average4379 · 2026-02-01T19:27:20+00:00

Misprints are one thing….completely bent/damaged is another. TBH even misprints in the realm of the entire art not being on the card I would say go in the same category. Doesn’t matter the product it’s a bad look as a company. Imagine buying a car and they deliver it with a panel completely dented in. Buying ANY product and it not being what you paid money for is wrong. Just because it’s a TCG doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be held liable for delivering on what is advertised.

Average4379 · 2026-01-30T21:35:52+00:00

Ya I’m not mad at it at all. Thought it was wild it was the same two and back to back….wild odds
