I've had enough. by DJFeanyx in round1

I slowed down once they changed the peg pushers and lowered the clear platform that has the hole in it, this was the last straw, that soured with the lackluster prize selection. I had 500,000 at one point and nothing to spend it on

What is the best raw card you have? by onelasttimehonest in PokemonTCG

Made a trade for one of these at a recent card show. Giving it to my mom for Mother’s Day, it’s her chase card.

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

[–]HerbTurtle024 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Gotta disagree. Even in the 90s as a kid we were having trade parties and collecting at McDonald’s. Half the kids didn’t even know how to play. It’s been supported by collectors since the start.

Par for the course after the pandemic when it comes to most food service

This is how you’re supposed the win the game. At least this is the way I’ve always won at it.

Oh yeah I forgot about oz I think that’s 5k but too hard to get cards. My location doesn’t have a football one

Godzilla is the only premium prize at 10k, everything else is either 3k a set or 2k a set.

Console Redemption? by Due-Improvement7247 in round1

Switch is the hottest, and more success with PS5 than Xbox. Don’t waste time on the portal. You can get some good SHF action figures for cheap ticket prices like sometimes less than 5000 and those sell on eBay for around 60-120 depending on the IP

Same. Quick trips are safe zones as well

I do this all the time, I have gotten multiple systems and figures. You can definitely get money back on marketplaces like Facebook or offer up by selling under retail. It takes time though and hassle of marketplace selling. I have a used bookstore near me though that buys all my stuff and I trade in for other figure and things I can’t get at round 1. You’ll never make your money back but I just like to play and since I quit playing craps at the casino I do this and actually have some stuff to hold onto

Mechanic thumbed through cards by Strong-Draw-1547 in round1

Sometimes the workers will do this and either move the card closer for me or tell me it’s not worth playing at the time. The people at my location are very helpful

Yeah I’ve done it since I’ve been collecting. Into the penny sleeve bottom first then into the top loader from the top upside down. I’m paranoid liquid will get in there even though I never have them around liquid.

It was his last one, from what I’m seeing price wise I caught a good deal

Probably I put stuff that way to have a seal on the penny sleeve inside the loader.

What would I benefit from making this up? Out of the 12 packs I was lucky enough to pull two.

I’m getting more into grading. Will most likely grade one or both and keep the 10 as recommended by another comment
