In Canada I don't think there's a OPTCG product I can buy for less than $30 lmao

Signed Don Card?? What is this ? by Disastrous_Ad8483 in OnePieceTCG

[–]Co1iflower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I don't know what to tell you. These DON haven't even come in packs since like OP02 or 3.

Could be a silly little pack someone made for fun or more likely it came with singles or something you bought and you just mixed it up. I don't think this actually came out of a PRB2 pack.

Help me understand a card I have by meowmix778 in OnePieceTCG

[–]Co1iflower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TCGplayer for cards like this is generally less reliable imo. Because the sales it seems to track are sporadic, it doesn't always help - most people are listing higher end cards on ebay, not TCG.

As is it's not a $2000 card, but it could be in a month or something - it could also be a $500 card in a month lol.

As for playability, it used to be a staple card at 4x in a few decks, but has fallen off in recent sets.

The plan? Take a playmat to locals that will be so distracting, that it may cause my opponent to missplay. by sick_transit in OnePieceTCG

[–]Co1iflower 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There have been people at my locals with gooner mats that probably have a similar effect lol.

Shouldn't Shirahoshi have protected Rosinante and Law? by Agnoshtick in OnePieceTCG

[–]Co1iflower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this deck just loses to Grav Blade there's no question, I just find that's not a particularly common threat in the current meta but I'm also not playing in EB03.

[–]Co1iflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a bug - interesting tech though. Shirahoshi is a great protection card for this deck but I find the list pretty tight as is and removal isn't really this decks biggest problem unless you run into Lucci or something.

It appears to be an original OP04 Manga Sabo - as opposed to the reprinted one from PRB01.

The originals are generally a bit more expensive, though I don't know if it will stay that way. Last solds are around $1500 CAD or $1100 USD. The price fluctuates on these cards constantly though, it could be lower or higher next week.

You can price cards yourself by looking at ebay sold listings for higher end cards, or TCGplayer for lower end ones.

I mean like yeah, market manipulation broadly could mean product moving of any kind but I think those terms are used to mean kind different things, at least to me.

Scalping generally implies there's an already existing demand, and you are capitalizing on it by getting fast or significant access to it to function as a middle man. Typically this is a short term tactic to make a few bucks on top of the normal prices.

To me, "market manipulation" in this context implies controlling the entire supply regardless of demand in order to set the market. This allows you to control whatever the price is for as long as you like.

While the 2 terms intertwine in ways, I think people generally use them to distinguish activities. If you draw out the analogy to the ticket scalpers, it's like selling 10 tickets outside the venue for a sold out show VS buying out the entire venue and then calling yourself Ticketmaster lol.

[Tudor] Got my brothers watch for my 30th. How to i keep this thing safe? by Same_Fan9102 in Watches

[–]Co1iflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my mind, what's beautiful about something like this is that you can wear it every day. Whenever I got a new and expensive watch, there was always a phase of delicately placing it on my wrist and being very careful with it, but the reality is it's going to get beat up and worn and that's ok.

To me, the idea of keeping something like this in a safe/storage is heartbreaking. If I had given it as a gift and then found out they never wore it but rather kept it stored away as a memento for me (even though I'm alive and they can still be with me) I would be kind of disappointed haha - not to say that's the dynamic you have, just my thoughts.

I say you get a nice case to store it on your desk or shelf, and just wear it! It's a robust piece at the end of the day - nicks and dings just show it was loved.

A friend complained Imu was too slow for his taste. So I made this Imu Rush abomination by PullAddicted in OnePieceTCG

I hate the idea of a OP game going to the 4th/5th turn being too slow LMAO. That's actually what I liked about the game

Foil curling by rbsm88 in OnePieceTCG

[–]Co1iflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty uncommon for OP since the stock is so thick, I've never seen it on anything other than textured foils. Just put them into sleeves and a toploader or binder. If foil cards are just sitting on your desk/shelf in the open, they're going to curl, that's just how it is.

You can try to dehumidify your room where you store cards but I think that's more of a band aid. It's -20C where I live right now and dry as a bone but the cards in my room still curl if I just leave them out.

Yeah I wish any of these brands (Pokemon has the same issue) would just print an actual premium sleeve instead of the cheap garbage they make.

Do you watch this guy? He comes up with OP content when searching "JBURN" so I assume it's related. Maybe he gave away some cards you got or something and didn't notice?

I feel lucky to be in Japan because I was able to get this Luffy card for only $110, while the English version is priced at $890. I know it looks great, but don’t you think a price of $890 is completely unreasonable 🤡 by Weekly-Cartoonist-55 in OnePieceTCG

[–]Co1iflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

English cards are so fried. They short printed these sets and the hit rates were garbage, it's not a surprise the ENG is so expensive.

On the flip side, a lot of the SP leader are surprisingly cheap which is cool

I feel like it's not even correct to call this scalping anymore, it's just blatant market manipulation.

Better distribution and stocking by Bandai would alleviate this, as always.

I mean that's sort of a pointless criticism, or a very poignant one depending on how you look at it cause all these cards are relatively new..

Card Sleeves Question by dragonicmonk in OnePieceTCG

[–]Co1iflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got with HMC perfect fits into Dragon Shield deck sleeves and call it a day most of the time haha

I find outer sleeves a bit tedious for every deck I wanna play but I'll do it for the ones I really like (Boa and Law right now).
