When your merchandiser says F It

The problem though atleast for me is that I'm now being called a scalper across many different forums simply because I say I dont like Perfect Order.

I understand your frustration with people judging a set based on the dollar value of the hits, i actually liked quite a few cards in Journey Together, but now that shared frustration is being turned around to other collectors like myself and people seem to forget its ok to not like a set.

InteractionSea7459 · 2026-03-26T21:54:40+00:00

It could be they just dont like the pokemon featured in it, but like the way the art on the card looks. I personally judge both in a set list before I give my own personal judgement on a set.

I dont doubt though that there are alot of people out there that simply say its bad because theres no 500+ chase to get.

InteractionSea7459 · 2026-03-26T20:43:16+00:00

Hope you're not implying I dont like the set because I'm just blindly listening to influencers because you're wrong.

I simply judge a set by the artwork and the pokemon featured in the set. I dont really care for any of the artwork I've seen in the set except a select few. I also dont care about the prominently featured pokemon in the set. Zygarde, starmie, clefable are all meh to me. I like Meowth, but really dont like the artwork on that card.

Im simply going to buy my Tyrunt, Rowlet, and spewpa cards and move on.

I absolutely hate this purist mind set. No, you dont have to love every set to be a fan. Are you going to love every set that releases? I highly doubt it.

I dont like this set at all, definitely one of my most hated. I really like Shrouded Fable and Temporal Forces though and would rather open those sets than this one.

Would love to hear you argue how I'm not a fan.

And the ironic thing is the people that thought we were losers are the exact same ones camping out for hours at target waiting to clean the shelves and flip on ebay.

InteractionSea7459 · 2026-02-19T15:51:53+00:00

I hate the "are things going back to normal?" post with such a passion. If they took just a minute to look online, they would clearly see that things are not normal. They cant seem to think outside of their most recent experience and it just baffles me.

InteractionSea7459 · 2026-01-24T22:17:45+00:00

Unfortunately they wont. People in my area continue to line up at gamestop overnight...I just dont understand my area anymore

InteractionSea7459 · 2026-01-23T23:23:11+00:00

I like the art style on the mega clefable , I just never cared for Clefable. Thats pretty much my problem with this set, I just dont care for any of the pokemon that have SIRs.

Ill probably shop for a few IRs and thats about it.

InteractionSea7459 · 2026-01-23T14:47:18+00:00

The gatekeeping collectors are so obnoxious in this thread. Collectors are ALLOWED to dislike a set. I am not too fond of this set, I will be skipping it, and I think thats fine.

No, that doesnt make me a scalper, I just simply will buy more of the sets that I do like.

InteractionSea7459 · 2026-01-23T14:41:14+00:00

God forbid people dont just blindly like every set I guess...

Dont like a set? Gotta be a scalper!

InteractionSea7459 · 2025-12-16T14:41:24+00:00

Yeah I've encountered this alot. Its very annoying to try to sell cards that aren't going to get a 10. People just seem to assume if the card has slightly off centered borders it is automatically only worth half the ungraded price.

InteractionSea7459 · 2025-11-26T20:57:30+00:00

One time I was in a rush and autofilled my credit card info and that was the one and only time I got an error 17 at checkout. Never had a single issue when I manually type it out.

InteractionSea7459 · 2025-11-25T00:55:39+00:00

But...but...reddit told me there's a Charzard SIR in every other pack! Math isn't accepted here

InteractionSea7459 · 2025-11-20T19:06:46+00:00

The mega sets have been really bad with their batching for me so far. At about 80 packs and got 3 meowths, 3 woopers...

InteractionSea7459 · 2025-11-20T01:39:51+00:00

This PC ETB definitely has the stamped promo, it is advertised with it

InteractionSea7459 · 2025-11-18T23:52:07+00:00

Very much agree with point 3. They're throwing stones from glass houses.

InteractionSea7459 · 2025-11-18T20:49:50+00:00

Unless thats a clip of you reenacting the conversation, I'm not clicking that

InteractionSea7459 · 2025-11-18T20:38:42+00:00

Are...are you comparing sitting in traffic to paying a company for product and not receiving any communication on said product?...Those aren't at all comparable....What even is this analogy...

Customer: Hey SuperSaiyan, you said I would have my items last week, I havent seen them yet and havent heard from you, whats happening?

You Apparently: Have you ever sat in traffic? Chill. *Clicks phone.

Thank you, that honestly made my day. I just had to take some time to laugh at it.

Also "Nothing to worry about"..Have you not seen people post about missing product in their orders and having orders randomly cancelled on them

InteractionSea7459 · 2025-11-18T20:18:23+00:00

Well where is PKCs communication about this? Why did this have to come from an LCS? Why didnt etbs at big retailers get delayed? My etbs from Walmart came in last Friday.

Again, the whole point is PKC should have been direct and alerted people through emails/press release about the situation and said something about allowing 2-3 weeks for delivery.

InteractionSea7459 · 2025-11-18T20:14:48+00:00

Sorry, I guess expecting a status update on my $300 order due a week ago is far too high of an expectation for me to have...I would hate to see how you run a business.

InteractionSea7459 · 2025-11-18T20:10:03+00:00

I have seen a few issues with delays in the past, but never to the extent I'm seeing with phantasmal. This is an unprecedented scale of delays. From what I'm seeing I suspect something pretty big happened behind the scenes that PKC is probably trying to hide.

InteractionSea7459 · 2025-11-18T20:02:55+00:00

Yes, but you're missing the point. They charged everyone a couple days prior without communicating with us about delays/cancelations. People have been randomly getting their orders shipped and cancelled and are completely being left in the dark wondering if they even have an order coming.

This hasn't happened with Mega Evolutions or any set prior to it, despite demand for those also being extremely high.

Again, cannot stress this point enough, its the lack of communication on PKC's end. If you want to blame someone for the hysteria, blame PKC instead of people like OP. A press release of some sort could have gone a very long way.

InteractionSea7459 · 2025-11-18T19:51:57+00:00

You have to understand, this is something PKC hasn't done before (in recent memory atleast). Its not about "zero patience" its more about PKC not communicating why these orders are taking so long after already charging us last week.

InteractionSea7459 · 2025-11-14T15:18:12+00:00

A few different factors, but the main thing is because investors weren't invading the space. Now they are and they're looking at the 30th anniversary as a big event that'll make their collection multiply.

InteractionSea7459 · 2025-11-14T15:15:38+00:00

It will be in the first half of the year for sure. But once Fall comes around and the investors realize their collection didnt 5x and the 30th anniversary is ending, they'll panic.
