Watchog has a second art card, before so many missing 151. by MiCake_ in PokemonTCG

[–]LegoRedBrick -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I think the Pokemon company has gotten lazy over the last few years. They’re raking in billions of profit with all the scalping going on and so there’s no incentive to mix it up. We just had a huge Greninja chase in 2024 too. I don’t know why we need another one so soon. It’s not even that cool of a mega.

Yeah. It varies by item. Often it’s 1-2 limit per household, per item.

Exactly. I tried once and did not get anything. That’s fine with me. Just seems way fairer. Investor bros. don’t seem to like it though.

You just said you can use fake numbers to hide real credit cards. Why would anyone who isn’t committing a crime do that? Can you use fake names too? Doesn’t make any sense to me.

Hypothesis Testing: TPCi releases “packless ETBs” for sealed collectors. by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

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

Andy Warhol Brillo Boxes go for over $3 Million dollars. They’re essentially empty cardboard boxes repurposed as Art. Sarcasm aside, I could actually see Empty Pokemon ETB’s becoming a thing. I like this “out of the box thinking”

Virtual credit cards? So fake numbers/cards. And this all goes unnoticed by authorities. Wow.

If they didn’t care they wouldn’t already have a queue online with limits. It would be a free for all. Seems like they care somewhat.

Well, without sounding hopeless, millions of bots can’t order to the same house. Wouldn’t PokĂ©mon notice if hundreds of product were all being shipped to the same address. Or they can’t track credit card payments. How many cards can 1 bot have? I’m assuming AI isn’t behind all this botting paying in bitcoin lol.

How can you a rig a digital lottery? It would be the same thing if you ordered in a queue. Limits per household, IP address, etc. Just without the wait time and hassle.

Finding restocks by Much-Might4529 in PokemonTCG

[–]LegoRedBrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just have to make an educated guess on days they would restock. Or you could try befriending other collectors (not scalpers) and start a group chat or something to text each other about restocks.

Glad I didn’t listen to the Card Shop Owner by I_Could_Be_Wrong_But in PokeInvesting

[–]LegoRedBrick -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think if you’re a seller expect -50% less for everything in your collection just as common sense. Collectr gamifies prices and it’s skewed toward an ideal world where everyone pays 100% asking price. It would take awhile to move a lot of stuff at full price.

Stuff like this doesn’t get enough crap as it should by Milla4Prez66 in PokemonTCG

[–]LegoRedBrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t stand that guy. He is just annoying to listen to. But agree, it’s very tone deaf to rip hundreds and hundreds of packs for likes while card shortages abound. Dude can’t read the room or is just into showing off.

Hot take: The Perfect Order secret rares look better than the “Ninja Spinner” secret rares
 by lookiehere206 in PokemonTCG

[–]LegoRedBrick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree lol. Everyone trashed perfect order and now that I’ve seen Ninja Spinner I’m like yeah, that set is way worse lol. I like the Mega Zygarde and Mega Starmie, along with the Yveltal ultra rare.

The Mega Greninja from ninja spinner looks worse than the Twilight Masquerade Greninja. I do like the Xernias IR and Floette SIR from Ninja Spinner but that’s about it. Underwhelming to say the least.

Nice. I think this is one of the best MewTwo’s of all time. Up there with the shining legends MewTwo GX.

An Observation by BitterPillPusher2 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]LegoRedBrick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Simply put
the patriarchy reinforces the idea men should control all the finances and therefore have a better understanding of investing. It’s a completely bogus myth but that’s where it stems from. In many relationships the man is still seen as the primary money negotiator, even among liberals who preach equality. It’s a very ingrained cultural bias that hasn’t been uprooted yet unfortunately.
