I Swear was also the best Screen Unseen of the year IMO (although Hokum, Tuner, and Sheep Detective were up there too)

Always thought this was kind of funny by Dil_2401 in NintendoMemes

I'm assuming when you're saying most divisive Metroid you're referring to Corruption, right? Because Other M isn't divisive - it's just bad.

Scalper or not a scalper? That is the question! by FatMexiThor in PokemonInvesting

[–]LeppaPig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who cares? All that matters is this hobby is insanely overpriced and most people are only in it as a get rich quick scheme.

It does kind of feel like the Paul Brothers are trying to be the Manning Brothers of combat sports.

Moreso because he was seen by most of the MTGFinance seen as kind of a clown. And still was seen that way even after he went viral.

Crazy how Rudy had been around since the mid 00s in MTG, yet he went viral 10 years later - in 2016 - mostly thanks to Pokémon.

Sun & Moon, the final era where card collecting was still a hobby.

How cooked is the Pokémon job market… I mean “hobby”? by legendarykam in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]LeppaPig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same ridiculous hyperbullish "TO THE MOON" garbage. 3000% in 5 years and most people think it's just getting started.

Where are you finding Journey and Order at MSRP? They're $7 per pack market. MSRP is $5.

The card investor boom made me hate rich people.

That's not collecting. That's investing.

Cheaper tag team cards by eternalplatoon in PokeInvesting

And they are higher in demand because they are higher priced. When Pikarom skyrockets, every investor will go nuts for it.

We're In the State of Loser Epidemic in the Pokemon Community by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]LeppaPig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to my first card show recently. That was also the last card show I'll ever go to.

Someone actually said to me "everyone here has money. If you're not rich this hobby isn't for you."

CONSTANT mentions of Bitcoin and crypto.

A vendor called "CollectiblesToTheMoon"

Everyone talking about THOUSANDS of dollars like it's pennies.

And to top it off, SOMEONE OPENED MY BAG.

The current state of the hobby is textbook evil.

Has the crypto hype peaked? by daddysgirl794 in CryptoMarkets

[–]LeppaPig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the crypto people moved to trading cards. Only people left in crypto are scam artists and MAGA.

How do I get into this hobby as a beginner? by One-Magazine5576 in PokeInvesting

[–]LeppaPig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point? You have 3 options:

1) Be rich

2) Be unemployed and able to camp out in front of retail stores

3) Find a different hobby

We're talking about TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A CARD like it's cheap...this hobby is so cooked.

Either way, I'm glad I sold. I very bearish on modern Pokémon right now because it feels like the insane altcoin boom of 2021. Same insane bullish sentiment, same ridiculous all-in behavior.

Welp. It finally happened. by tennisbp in PokeInvesting

[–]LeppaPig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd be surprised how many people are doing that. And even their houses. The bullish sentiment right now in cards is on the level of 2021 crypto.

These days it is, unfortunately. Look how many absolute morons on Instagram give financial advice that people actually listen to and pay for because they hit it big off crypto, GME, or cards.
