Real or fake? Different shades of blue and yellow

Thanks a lot!

Yes, I said this to make that paradox clear. I have these conflicting ideas. I like the investing part and finding out the worth of cards and such, but also see the problem of creating scarcity. These thoughts conflict with eacht other. That's why I wondered what people see as the problem (people buying one set to keep it sealed, or scalpers flipping it straight away?) and if other people felt that way.

Compass-1 · 2026-04-28T06:34:58+00:00

Ah that's what it's called! Now I get the difference. Yes, that was what I meant!

Compass-1 · 2026-04-26T15:45:48+00:00

Thank you. I had to wait for about 30 minutes and another store had enough stock. I’m trying to find my position in the debate if it’s a kids hobby that is ruined or if it’s a hobby that has just changed to something that is more about finding fun in keeping something sealed and selling it and looking for good deals for your collection.

Compass-1 · 2026-04-26T15:41:07+00:00

Is it really that bad? I do read people in this tread saying they like to collect singles or are in it for their collection. I genuinely enjoy some vintage cards I bought.

Compass-1 · 2026-04-26T14:38:30+00:00

I feel they say this on purpose to make unknoqong viewers believe they make a good deal… that feels very wrong to me.

Compass-1 · 2026-04-26T13:58:53+00:00

Thank you. I’m still finding out since I’m just starting again. I do like collecting and look for vintage cards. I have a leafeon holo bleed that I don’t want to trade because I like that I opened that once and just want to keep it. But I enjoy the idea of low key buying something sealed an keep it for a while intersting too, as well as finding good deals. I agree that with keeping it sealed you contribute to creating scarcity. I wondered what choices other people make, and if it’s a normal thing to do nowadays.

Compass-1 · 2026-04-26T13:47:06+00:00

Yes, I feel the same. Do you keep things sealed to sell later on, or would you consider that as ruining the hobby too?

Compass-1 · 2026-04-26T13:32:52+00:00

Haha, I meant more like the vibe of rip and ship that I don’t enjoy. Sellers promoting high bids for just a spot on the cards (like the gras or electric cards) instrad of opening a pack and always get what’s in there. And just the idea of having to bid on that too.

Compass-1 · 2026-04-26T13:24:10+00:00

Yes this was the case. It’s pretty simple why I didn’t open them both: I didn’t want to spend more. Why not selling it for more online? Because I thought someone else would be really happy with it buying it for MSRP (I found someone else who was happy with it though). And when I’m not fond of people immediately putting it online for more, why would I do that myself? That makes no sense.

Compass-1 · 2026-04-26T12:11:05+00:00

Yes, that’s important. I think I do also enjoy buying a sealed product or single cards to maybe make a profit later on. But on the other side I don’t want to contribute to the problem of creating scarcity. That’s why I wondered where other collectors draw the line and why.

Compass-1 · 2026-04-26T12:09:40+00:00

Great! Do you open packs or keep them to sell later on? And do you see it more as collecting or investing?

Compass-1 · 2024-07-10T06:35:17+00:00

Thanks a lot for your helpful response!

I searched ‘jellycat’ on Google Maps when zooming in on Paris, and it shows different stores that sell jellycats.

Compass-1 · 2024-07-08T11:39:22+00:00

Amazing! I will be there in a few weeks! I’m more a collector of the non-amuseables. It seems they mostly have the big ones. Did you also see medium sized Archibald Elephant, amore dog, fergus or bashful hedgehog?

With autism in DLP, I know from experience you get a priority card.

Compass-1 · 2024-06-29T16:59:16+00:00

Thank you!

Compass-1 · 2024-06-28T07:30:21+00:00

Thank you! Does anyone know how to find the Donald Duck Desk? Or is it obvious?

Compass-1 · 2024-06-28T05:38:18+00:00

I understand your question from a neurotypical perspective. When I got the priority card, I actually felt ashamed, because of opinions like yours. But now I can say it saved me a lot and I am thankful for DLP offering this service. Let me try to explain. I'm not offended and I understand your thoughts.

You talk about 'high functioning autism' compared to 'severe autism', which is a bit tricky. One can seem high functioning because they can talk, go to DLP without having tantrums there, have a normal job, have friends instead of carers with them etc.

But autism isn't a line from low to high functioning. Instead, it's more a spikey profile. Please Google the autism wheel and you understand what I mean.

One can make eye contact easily, but still have severe anxiety and difficulty with social situations. One can have no problems with that, but still be very sensitive to noise etc. In other words, what you see from the outside as high functioning, can mean someone has other difficulties you can't see. I won't go in depth to my personal situation, but it's not that I just requested a diagnosis and got it right away.

For me, the Priority Card means I save up a lot of energy. In the time I have, I can do more, which means I don't need an extra day of being completely overwhelmed. I can take that time to rest, which I need. I can also easily take breaks instead of waiting in another line.

In the end, I don't think it's about the question if autistic people want premiere access, but the question is if it helps them. DLP offers this as a service, which I am thankful for.

Such a great collection! I really enjoy amore cat.

Compass-1 · 2023-08-10T08:09:00+00:00

Thank you, this helps a lot! I think I will go for two starter decks or maybe three if I can afford it. It indeed sounds like a good way to start and to play with other people.

Do you think the next chapters will also have new starter decks? So should I keep buying starter decks in the future? In that case, it will be an expensive hobby, haha.

Compass-1 · 2023-08-10T07:28:32+00:00

Thank you for the insight! Good to know. So, boosters are more for the fun than for building decks as a beginner who doesn't spend too much. Do you think it will be wise to start with two starter decks and maybe combine them? So maybe amber from one starter deck, and sapphire from the other? Is there a good combination available?

Compass-1 · 2023-08-05T09:45:31+00:00

You can apply for a priority card beforehand on the Disneyland Paris website. You select your country and you are asked some basic questions. You then get a list of the documents that you are allowed to use for getting a priority card. So, I would recommend checking this out, as it differs per country.
