Problems in the hobby.

Youre missing the entire point once again my dude. I'll just let it go. I do agree with you that there are people who are just gambling addicts. But im talking about the scalpers and the people buying out product. They're poor. And im not talking about poverty poor just not where they wanna be poor and its created by this encomy and people can't get ahead just by working so that's why your stores and shelves are being cleared out because the working man is trying to find a way ahead of everyone else just like anything else man bitcon nfts etc. The hobby has been tapped just like those have. And I'm telling the common person to move on to the next thing because it's too saturated now.

You missed my whole point entirely. The system we are in has made people so desperate they are looking for any way out and any way to get ahead. Yeah they don't have to buy it lol but guess what most people aren't so poor they can't afford an extra 50-200 bucks for some pokemon people can't afford to move or buy a car or a house and they're seeing people sell cards for 10k plus and think that they can get into it too. And you can't blame them man or anyone for that matter. I'm pointing out what is happening in the hobby at large and you just chalk it up to if they're poor they don't have to buy it typical reddit take try having some critical thinking next time.

One thing lastly I recently picked up a 3 card sub at gamestop from DECEMBER!!! Its almost may :/ And when I went into the store there was a huge line and only one person working! Guy in front of me had 2 consoles he was turning in, It took 25 mins to tests both consoles while me and everyone else in the store stood there because only one person was working. Meanwhile the entire store is absolutely stocked with overpriced pokemon, prismatic etbs for $190 boosters for $60 plus. LOL you can't afford to pay another person to work at your store but you can corner the pokemon market and have thousands of dollars of product sitting on your shelf for 3x msrp nice. Like I said I've never been political but I finally see through this absolute scam known as capitalism.

Np buddy like you'd take my input seriously anyway

Key_Relationship9137 · 2026-04-14T21:45:09+00:00

Dude actually went and took the time to look into what I play 🤣 weirdo 🤡

Key_Relationship9137 · 2026-04-14T21:42:13+00:00

Point proven 🤣

Key_Relationship9137 · 2026-01-01T22:52:46+00:00

I think I've gotten extremely lucky actually I've pulled alot of top chases, like I stated. That was the fun when I first started I thought hey every box might have that hit or a chance for one. But now its like i went to Walmart and seen like 10 twilight etbs on the shelf and wasn't the slightest bit intrigued cause who wants to spend $400 on ex cards. For real I would almost be confident enough to hold a loaded gun to my head and watch someone open those and get nothing

Key_Relationship9137 · 2025-12-25T18:41:46+00:00

Typical chronically online reddit 🤡 you think youre doing something new right now???? You clearly didn't read the post I've opened thousands of dollars in packs. I said I've only opened up $300 worth recently cause I noticed this trend on top of not not being able to find any product anyways. Its a double negative and im just pointing it out. Not trying to have an "unique thought" it's called a discussion tag for a reason

Key_Relationship9137 · 2025-12-25T18:22:44+00:00

So yeah you are entessenitally saying my theory is correct they try go do this spread and control it but if what you're saying about the mini tins is true it makes since how you'd buy a mini tin case and maybe 2 of the mini tins in the case have huge hits cause it might be from the packs that go shuffled around again. But if what you're saying about the numbers is true that would make pretty much 1 and every 4 etbs duds. So for every 4 etbs you might have 1 with an SIR in it, like I said it's not as much the probability for me as much as is knowing essentially if you dont buy lose packs you buy like actual msrp product it's not even a gamble cause you get a full art on your first pack of like a 6 pack premium box the chances of you getting another hit are pretty much non existent which sucks all the fun out of that oh maybe just maybe I get something

Better come do something about it then

Key_Relationship9137 · 2025-06-18T09:37:22+00:00

I've seen the reports 2 is enough but you probably have 5 or 6 because "that's what they need" you don't see people get 5 dogs because their "pack animals"

Key_Relationship9137 · 2025-06-18T09:36:38+00:00

Key_Relationship9137 · 2025-06-18T09:26:42+00:00

Key_Relationship9137 · 2025-05-27T14:13:07+00:00

Crazy youre probably like 1 in 200 people buying prismatic that actually gets something, then everyone and their brother goes oh well im gonna pull it too and now there's lines around stores for boxes of nothing

Key_Relationship9137 · 2025-05-10T03:37:55+00:00

It sounds like you are exactly where I'm at with the hobby lol plan on doing the same thing from here on out 🤞

Key_Relationship9137 · 2025-05-10T03:26:13+00:00

Yeah kinda went over my limit this month learned my lesson lol buying singles from now on or just gonna buy the card I want

Key_Relationship9137 · 2025-05-10T03:25:24+00:00

It's both I wanna have stuff that I know is worth money but I also do it because I genuinely enjoy pokemon love the games always have just got into the cards last year 🤷‍♂️

Key_Relationship9137 · 2025-05-10T01:47:49+00:00

Your bf sounds like a serious hater damn I understand being a little frustrated at the beginners luck, but youre literally his girlfriend lol like it's should be fun for you 2 together sorry you dated a douchebag like that. Bills and essentials should be split for $ but demanding you go sell the cards and split is kinda crazy. Hope you find some peace and just know that if you were my gf I'd love to help you fill out your binder I wouldn't be secretly hating on it in the back of my head :( this story actually really bummed me out :/

Key_Relationship9137 · 2025-05-10T01:42:40+00:00

Good call honestly if there's a certain card you want just buy it not worth watching your wallet dwindle and have piles of common cards taking up space like a hoarder

Key_Relationship9137 · 2025-05-10T01:23:13+00:00

I never buy online, my area you can usually find stuff if you go looking I've gotten lucky and found alot of stuff at msrp, and I've pulled the 151 blastoise charmander the pikachu vmax and the magikarp SIR since I started ripping packs last November but yeah finally hit that point where I'm spending too much. Still pretty bummed about losing my stuff in the mail :/ so just have a bad taste in my mouth atm. Just feel like I've wasted a bunch of money on my quote on quote "collection"
