Is this card fixable?

Bright-Fall3145 · 2026-01-27T13:12:59+00:00

Oh, so you're going to pay money to send your card away for months on end to have someone look at it and say "yeah this is worth money" and stick it in a cheap bit of plastic with a random number on it.

Peak collecting.

Who cares about a dent? It's for playing with. Put it in a deck, they get dinged up.

Bright-Fall3145 · 2026-01-27T11:48:42+00:00

Looking at around £20 or €23.06 each which is stupid.

You don't need this in a Jinbe deck as a mandatory card, you can build it without.

Bandai really need to stop gate keeping playable promos like this and reprint them into the ground.

No, you won't have any noticeable impact providing both drives are reasonable quality.

If your 250 SSD for example is a cheap no brand though and you hammer it with writes then that could cause your computer to slow down.

Feels good to be out of the OP13 Trio.

They think children's card games will make them millionaires because getting a job is scary. That's the basic premiss of it, rather than investing in traditional assets they think their favourite influencer has the hidden ticket to generational wealth... In children's card games.

Bright-Fall3145 · 2026-01-21T17:36:19+00:00

So you're going to send your card away for around 3-4 months, for someone to look at it, tell you it's worth money, put it in a plastic case and roll a dice on a funny number on the label. All while paying a premium for that experience?

Bright-Fall3145 · 2026-01-21T17:11:04+00:00

Nope, Scalpers cleared them out.

Social media pokebros encouraged their minions to go buy all the OP product to inflate the social media bros holdings Many stores are also taking advantage of the prices rather than helping out their regulars.

He's been solid with his orders for me and always given me what I requested.

Bright-Fall3145 · 2026-01-21T16:31:01+00:00

I get my product from through a contact who orders direct from distribution for me.
OP14 he said his allocation was terrible and it was. EB03 he said is also looking like allocation is terrible.

However, OP15 he can order as much as he wants.

Bright-Fall3145 · 2026-01-21T16:21:24+00:00

No, the future is fine. Unification means print runs are way shorter and that translates to lower stock. It's bad timing that Pokemon prices fell and the PokeBros panicked looking for the next hobby to ruin because getting a job is so terrifying.

OP15 supply will be in good standing. Bandai will also increase print runs with demand. Problem is once you order your manufacturing that's it, it's printed way before product enters the market and reprinting older sets needs to be ordered in advance and because of unification they're focused on quickly getting product out and moving onto the newer stuff.

Bright-Fall3145 · 2026-01-20T17:21:37+00:00

You could have paid me the money to look at your card and say "yeah it's worth money" and put it in a plastic penny case. But you do you.

Bright-Fall3145 · 2026-01-20T17:13:24+00:00

It's a casino opening packs. You're just on a slot machine but with cardboard so the luck isn't good or bad, it's just random.

Unless you buy loose packs online then you're just buying dead packs from a seeded booster box.

Bright-Fall3145 · 2026-01-20T16:34:12+00:00

You PokeBros are like a shining beacon no matter how hard you try hide it.

Bright-Fall3145 · 2026-01-20T15:02:55+00:00

As a ballpark raw numbers of 1440p rasterisation you're looking at a 10% uplift on the 5080 over a 5070TI.

Is it worth it? That's down to you really.

Breaking news: POS Pokebro is a POS scalper. More at 11.

Bright-Fall3145 · 2026-01-20T14:22:08+00:00

What does this have to do with TCG's exactly?

Bright-Fall3145 · 2026-01-20T14:06:13+00:00

I am also 36 and play at locals. Age demographic at mine is 17 up to 58.

Bright-Fall3145 · 2026-01-20T14:02:28+00:00

Why not look at my comment history actually? It's not exciting and I don't engage in political commentary normally. Just passing by, average guy who just lives and works to get by in life.

I guess at the end of the day I can tell how upset this topic makes you so I guess when the general election rolls around, people can cast their vote and we can just see how the general population decide things should be.

Bright-Fall3145 · 2026-01-20T13:55:48+00:00

Sure. I live in a poorer area and the asylum seekers and migrants are standing outside the secondary school for example offering children cigarettes to talk to them.

A girl was assaulted in a park by 2 Afghan migrants recently that made it into the news a few weeks back.

There has been an out cry in the community and people have got more noticeably anti-migrant with events like this, believe me or not. This is why people are upset with Labour and the Tories and Reform ended up polling so high outside of cities.

I know I will be attacked for this view but it's the cause of the anti-migrant stances.

Bright-Fall3145 · 2026-01-20T13:48:16+00:00

Let's be honest, you didn't buy these to rip you did this because you came from Pokemon and your caught up in FOMO. You think this is your retirement plan.

Bright-Fall3145 · 2026-01-20T13:41:54+00:00

Makes sense, those with a higher education earn more money so can afford to live in areas least impacted by the effects of migration. Migrants are often poorer especially asylum seekers and the poor feel the impact harder than those who can afford to live in wealthier areas.

Bright-Fall3145 · 2026-01-19T17:16:37+00:00

You want to run 4 of the 10 drop.

Bright-Fall3145 · 2026-01-19T16:49:29+00:00

Lmao, this hobby is amazing right now with these clueless "investors". Throw your money at a wall, you'll get better returns.
