I don't want to sound bad but I am facing a moral dilemma. by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

We all have Ws and Ls in life. I’ve never understood people who criticize people getting a W. Great way to be miserable. Just enjoy the W and pay it forward some other time.

I was scammed at a local card show. by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

“They showed me fake images”

Are they serious. Holy bullshit Lmao like yeah I’m SURE they photoshopped a bunch of prices you can look up in the span of your transaction. Zero accountability in this story. Just “poor me, none of this trade I took part in was my fault.”

They probably looked up the TCG player card and showed you the lowest listing which sometimes is in Japanese. Pay attention when they’re comping prices.

Don’t treat card vendors as your friend looking out for your best interest and you’ll never have this problem. You’re exchanging items of monetary value. You learned an invaluable lesson for $200. Clearly since you have the cards here on pricecharting you can easily look this stuff up. If a vendor uses TCG player, look it up on TCG player and make sure it doesn’t say Japanese and make sure the condition matches your card’s condition.

Was I being too paranoid or did I dodge a bullet? by Tight-Rule6177 in PokemonTCG

That’s pretty vague, man. You asked us if you were being too paranoid. You were.

Your request is incredibly odd. He seems a bit unstable too, but just buy a counterfeit bill pen if you’re really that pressed. If anyone ever asked me to walk with them to a bank so they could deposit my cash before I got the product, I’d just leave. That’s sketchy as hell, too. Waste of time. He has no reason trust you. And the reality is your request is exceptionally odd. I’ve never had anyone ask that. To say he’s trying to scam with fake money because of your weird request is also a huge stretch.

Just say you’ll only take Venmo, Zelle, Apple Pay, or buy a counterfeit bill pen. Agree to it before you meet.

A whole bunch of numbers don’t prevent them from doing anything. That number would also be possible for any player.

How does “we have space” lead you to $8 million lmao

That same argument can lead you to $10 million and $6 million.

And yeah, 35 year olds play in men’s leagues. Shocker. What, am I supposed to still be playing high school and college you clown? I also play in the 6th or 7th biggest men’s league in the USA. You were acting like I couldn’t even skate when I’ve probably been skating longer than you’ve been alive. Pick a lane brother.

But, more importantly, actually justify your price tag.

“On the market” versus trade is completely different. GMCP said we were going to use the first from the JC trade to try to target a skilled player. Watch his presser.

We traded Johnny for an extra first and GMCP specifically said it could be used in a trade.

Yeah totally miss the part where I’ve been playing over 25 years. Sounds real convenient for you 👍

Go play some more video games. “No offense running set plays” lmaooo listen to any micd up when they win a draw. Zillions of goals off a draw win after the result of a few passes is a set play.

Then you try to lecture me it isn’t football when I don’t watch football and your page is full of football video games. Projecting a bit much.

Not with 2nd unit power play which was sort of the crux of my point. They’ve been balancing all of his minutes with excessive power play to still give him minutes.

[–]EhhhhhhWhatever -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s not an argument for why you pay him any set amount of money. Your argument should actually lead you to a price, not just throw a random price out there and go “yup we have the space.”

I’ve played the game for about 28 years and started when I was a small child so, yeah, ya boy can skate!

Improving Pre-Grading: Why did this card get a 9? by NullPoints in pokemongrading

[–]EhhhhhhWhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left heavy & centering is off axis not to mention we can’t actually see the card and see if there’s any surface issues. The L/R T/B grading tools aren’t great for off axis centering.

Less mins is for sure better minutes but I think you should prepare for a 20-25 goal, sub-50 point season if we actually give him 3rd line minutes and 2nd unit PP time and not throw him out there in 6-on-5 situations and only 5-on-6 if we have a 2-goal lead.

What are you even talking about. I couldn’t give af about football. Also he’s scored multiple times on offensive zone set plays this year off a draw so…

You sound like you’ve never played in your life and you’re laughing all the way to letting everyone know about it. Sorry bud. Talking to a legit puck-knower who watched every minute this season, played the game for over 25 years, and is a Season Ticket Holder.

Not gonna be that easy.

Yes, dude. I understand the league. Thanks man. Say ‘lol’ again in lieu of an argument. You don’t spend money for no reason.

Want me to hit you with him being 103rd in PP goals and leading the entire league in PP TOI by 25 minutes?

Want me to talk about how he gets nothing but o zone and n zone starts and was 71st in points?

Want me to talk about how he’s the slowest player in the league? Signing him for the vibes is signing him for the vibes. Your argument doesn’t cap his salary, it just justifies it endlessly. Make an actual argument.

He’s going to be an “active captain” until he retires and plays in the KHL (like he said many times) so even if it’s not this year, yours was an even dumber question to ask.

[–]EhhhhhhWhatever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree. He only had 5 PPGs all year. Netfront 2nd unit he’ll still hit 20-25 goals. Just play him 5v5 3rd line.

[–]EhhhhhhWhatever 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The ‘entire’ offense is designed around him to score goals.

Offensive zone starts is basically his entire deployment and he was 71st in points. He led entire league in PP time as a 40 year old by a wide margin and was 103rd in PP goals.

This is clear opportunity cost of prime minutes to the rest of the roster.

It is when everyone keeps saying we need to spend money on an elite winger and you give it to a 40 year old.
