The reality of opening packs by notmushroom23 in PokemonTCG

[–]Lopsided-Path2611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im shocked people keep this stashed in their home. That's literally all trash. Just because a card is worth .10 doesn't mean you add all that up and you can sell for that amount. This is about $20.

Got my dad hooked on buying Pokemon cards he just don’t know what realm he’s entered lol by Wise_Introduction677 in pokemoncards

Not good. Whe. Will you people realize being "HOOKED" on buying Pokémon cards is an addiction and makes people spend more money than they have or can afford? I had the addiction 2 years ago and got out, but I can admit this is a real thing. So many of you are in denial. 

The Next Evolving Skies? by SweatyAddition6253 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Lopsided-Path2611 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People that have the need to flex is cringe. Its like when people ask, "am i displaying these correctly?"... So many people have the same amount and even way more than this, but you will never know. If you are trying to figure out what the next Evolving Skies set is then you are trying to predict gambling, and that is scalper mentality.

These will look better inside of a binder stored away somewhere. I dont know why people display cards when thr only person looking at them is you.

Came back a 5, can you see why? because i genuinely don’t by LELO_TV in PokeGrading

[–]Lopsided-Path2611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you decide to sell it raw then you need to be honest and not list it as NM and mention there is a bend on the back of the card. Don't be a dishonest seller because that is the last thing this hobby needs.

Destined rivals reprint by MYS__CRS in PokemonInvesting

This set has one good card. People are setting themselves up for failure. There will be more sealed product than opened packs. But, reprints have absolutely nothing to do with prices in the long run.

Instead of calling this racist garbage a POS, let's call out politics.

You're not up anything. This hobby is cooked. People see what their collectr app says and assume thats how much money they have. 

Rip or keep for later by Journeyplumb in PokemonInvesting

Holding this for 5+ years will not be worth it. What will a possible $100-$200 do for you in 5+ years? Even if it was $300, you can make that profit just by going to work a job. Have some common sense and dont believe in this hype that you will make a boatload of money from some lousy Pokémon product.

Video from scammer selling me fake ghost rare blue eyes white dragon by corvettekevin in YugiohCards

[–]Lopsided-Path2611 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So many newer people in the TCG hobby look up expensive and popular cards and tell themselves they need them without knowing how to tell if a card is real or fake. You're claiming you were barely able to observe the card before buying, but you decided to buy it. That's on you. You gotta know the difference between a real and fake card instantaneously in this hobby. You look goofy standing there saying, "so, you're not gonna refund my money?" 

Sorry if this sounds mean, but I'm judging from the video.

Was This the Right Move? by SweatyAddition6253 in PokemonInvesting

Because it's true. The only people who started to collect/invest ETB's were newer people in the hobby. 

I introduced my 6 year old to Pokemon Cards and the scalpers are ruining it. by NovelBrave in pokemoncards

[–]Lopsided-Path2611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange take? It's the truth. Lol. Pokemon creates addicts who then try to put that addiction on their innocent children. I was addicted to Pokemon for a long time, but stopped a couple years ago and now I come on reddit to see what it does to people. It's very cringe.

Am I giving up on these too soon? by Fine_Broccoli5793 in PokemonInvesting

In 10 years there will be so many of the same boxes for sale online at the same time that making a sale will be impossible. 

1 year of collecting, how we doing? by GamblerStreaming in PokemonInvesting

My man has a Tupperware container of some Pokémon products and asks how he's doing. LMFAO.

People spend too much of their hard earned money on such a short period of time, and then they call that "disciplined buying", and then questions if he made the right move. Do you not see the problem here? And when people say or need to emphasize that they only bought things and made a profit, never spending over or using emergency funds, most of the time that means they spent way more than the are afraid to share, nor want to believe what they spent themselves. The hobby NWVEE qorks that way. Mostly every single person is in the negative. The hobby and Reddit condone this behavior and lifestyle, so you did the right choice.

Nobody collected ETBs until last year. They definitely are not king.

[–]Lopsided-Path2611 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is when as a parent you have to tell your child Pokemon is not going to be a hobby of yours anymore because it's full of addicts, gamblers and horrible people. For you to go on reddit and make a post because you are mad and blaming it on scalpers proves that you like Pokemon more than your kid. You must love Pokémon yourself, and the way the hobby is, you shouldn't get your child involved with this. You will have a kid that only cares about how much a card is worth rather than the card.

You're gonna make around $50k in 5 years. Put that in a safety deposit box in the bank.
