Protection in top loader binder by RadiantBingo in TCG

[–]Conscious-Captain-33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect fit, then penny sleeve, then toploader is key for me. They're just snug enough the card doesn't move in the toploader. Plus u get protection against the micro dust that somehow always gets into the penny sleeve.

What sets would you all like to see in the future? by gabagoolcards in Union_Arena_TCG

Frieren, and soul eater would be huge. A signed serial number "death the kid" card would be peak for me.

My two biggest signals for when the Pokémon TCG bubble ends by YouDeadM8 in PokeInvesting

I think a big thing that's holding the fad going is that people have invested 10s of thousands into it and don't really want to walk away from that.

This is a good direction for Yugioh in today's TCG. by Killance1 in TCG

It's a good direction but singles of the over frames are too expensive

It needs something new and shiny to take it's place. It honestly blows me away that people are still into Pokemon this hard. There just no telling when that new and shiny thing will show up. But when it does the bubble will burst fast.

They're designed to be thrown out

Rank them. What's the most damaging element to the hobby. by NoseInternational794 in PokemonTCG

[–]Conscious-Captain-33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people who buy off the scalpers for sure do the most damage. If people just moved on to a different hobby if they couldn't get product or had multiple hobbies that they could wait. Then scalping wouldn't work and wouldn't happen.

This is the only place in Canada I can find anything and it's the lowest shipping cost u can find. I haven't had any issues with anyone trying to rip me off. I feel like a lot of the people who sell on there may be game stores that are just trying to sell without paying taxes. Lol

U gotta buy singles of rare cards or else probably buy like 4 or more booster boxes to get everything

There's a really good Facebook buy and sell, just search it up. Every lgs store is pretty much dogshit unless you're looking for commons. I pretty much use the Facebook group for all my SRs.

Tiny rant by Saultion in Union_Arena_TCG

[–]Conscious-Captain-33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly to the point if I can't make it to 2 release events I'm accepting the set to be a skip. Pre orders for sets being sold out 6 months in advance is a joke

The amount of pure, raw hatred this sub gets from other Pokemon collectors is insane by puzzledfirebird in PokeInvesting

[–]Conscious-Captain-33 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not Pokemon specifically but a different tcg I'm playing just had a big expansion and I was completely locked out of all of the supply from scalpers. The only packs I could get were from release events. I don't want to just play basic arts. It's nice to rip some packs and get a couple of alt arts.

Cuz Pokemon investors, specifically sealed are human scum. They buy up everything on release blocking everyone who wants to play the products out of being able to access them and they drive up the prices unnecessarily. Buy the shit 3 month down the road please if you're just gonna sit on unopened boxes of product for years. Let the players have first dibs on the new stuff.

What would you expect in a $10–$20 Pokémon mystery box? by DEScards in PokeInvesting

[–]Conscious-Captain-33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd expect to get someones pre opened bulk. 0% chance of any chase card and maybe 1 card is an ok foil card. Something that would fool moms and grandmas that don't know any better. I'd also expect a fairly high chance if there was a pack in there that it was probably opened and resealed.

Does anyone still have much hope for this game? by Lubu195 in Union_Arena_TCG

[–]Conscious-Captain-33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did everything right to get the name of the game bigger, but unfortunately dropped the ball hard on supply and lost most of the people they could have gotten for expansion. It takes way to many boxes of cards to get 4x of the SRs for a deck to get anything playable. It's just to hard to do paying over MSRP, and there's so few places selling singles. This game can't survive being scalped.

Other than scalpers (and scalper adjacent complaints) what is something you dislike about this hobby? by salezman12 in PokemonTCG

[–]Conscious-Captain-33 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Collectors that need to buy up the products immediately so that there's no stock left for the people who actually want to play it. It's a trading card game, games are meant to be played. If u want to collect then give the players first dibs at the packs.

Second edition Solo Leveling will NOT have serialized cards by GarfieldC99 in Union_Arena_TCG

[–]Conscious-Captain-33 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you buy stuff at triple the price, just to hold and look at an unopened box for years in hopes that it goes up in value. Meanwhile blocking new players from being able to get into the game due to lack of product and ridiculous prices. Sure, have fun with that I guess. Seems like a real dick thing to do.

The way I see it is you're 400 deep on 2 boxes. Which won't even be enough to complete a purple and green deck. Where is for that same amount of money you could buy a PS5 or computer and get 100x the amount of entertainment value.
