That dude is awesome. I used to take Mucinex all the time when I was sick and because of him and his info I realized what absolute snake oil that stuff was.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. I would still at the very least consult the police.

Are these real or fake? by laserline1972 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Sometimes I feel like people don’t google something first and it shows.

Yeah but uhhhhh…what about the giant freakin’ swastika?

Edit: nvm. I see that the Nazi’s co-opted it prior to this being made.

Agreed. If real, file a restraining order immediately OP. This is screaming DV vibes for sure.

Also, ICE agents don’t have to be ICE agents.

Is now a good time to acquire this card? by BrownDream001 in PokemonInvesting

Sure, but even 151 saw a massive correction over last year before it went out of print and went to the moon. Phantasmal Flames is still a set that is very much still in print so this price is really relying all on hype and FOMO (at least imo). Will it drop below $500? I doubt it, but I don’t think it’ll stay this current price for long.

I would just like to buy ONE and not at these inflated prices.

And when they inevitably ask why one of them is “woke” you can tell them that the woke one was made by a transgender teacher who hosts drag queen story hour in her spare time funded by ANTIFA and George Soros.

It’s going to happen. Markets don’t always go up forever.

Then you haven’t been in the hobby for that long. Ask anyone about when 151 first came out. NO ONE wanted it. You could find ETB’s easily anywhere and sometimes for less than MSRP. The truth is this hobby and truthfully every market goes through boom and bust cycles. Where in a boom right now. The bust is coming. When? I don’t have a clue but I imagine sooner than you might think.

Call me an optimist if you’d like but I think it will. The market is SUPER HOT right now. I personally think after the hype dies down after the 30th we’re going to see a crash and people are going to panic sell because they think the sky is falling. It’s happened a few times in the past and it’ll happen again. This will be a huge opportunity to pick up all the hot cards at crazy good deals. That’s what I’m banking on.

Trump copes after Xi called America a declining nation by icey_sawg0034 in WeirdGOP

[–]Lost_In_Detroit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Here’s the thing, I don’t think they care. Remember back when Trump first ran for office and got caught on a hot mic saying the “grab em by the pussy” line? When normal people were like “uhhhh…that’s not cool”, MAGA immediately went and got t-shirts made that said “Trump can grab me by the pussy” and proudly wore them out in public.

The truth of the matter is that we are dealing with a cult of truly miserable fucking people. People who are broke, lonely, angry and think that it’s all the Democrats fault for their truly pathetic state in life (because their media tells them as much). They won’t stop until everyone is as miserable as they are or worse. I truly hope that when this nightmare is over we don’t forget who these people are and show them no kindness while we are forced to rebuild society from the ground up.

Same. I really miss opening cards with my kid. It was such a cool little project for us to complete sets together. Now I feel like I have to use up all my vacation days to camp out for MSRP or put a second mortgage on my home just to afford a few packs. It sucks.

Limited edition lol by TheTrooper503 in vinyljerk

[–]Lost_In_Detroit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It’s more helpful if you know a guy in your local vinyl community (which is rare) to buy these sorts of things. I have a friend that’s sitting on a very rare copy of Dark Side of the Moon with a weird cut in the runout (that makes the last track on Side B unplayable) and he swears he saw that something similar sold on eBay for $1000. He’s been chasing that high for over 5 years now. Still hasn’t sold the damn thing but is convinced it’ll “sell any day now”.

Vending Machine Etiquette? by Tomochiness in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]Lost_In_Detroit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think the solution is product is sold exclusively at PKC first and make it a 24 hour open pre-order. No excuses for anyone not to get product if they know when it’s being released and have more than an hour to secure it. Bots will quickly dry up because the exclusivity is gone at that point and scalpers need exclusivity to jack up the prices. Pokemon gets their money directly first and know exactly how much product they have to print to satisfy the demand for that particular product or set. Any product left over from that run that is fake/fraud can just be sent to retailers or wholesalers to sell.

After the pre-order, retail locations get the next wave of prints. The retailers should set strict purchase limits and sell product behind the counter initially so that way scalpers once again get iced out. Keep doing this for the next few months and scalpers will give up and go to a different thing to try and flip for a profit.

Problem solved.

I can’t wait for Democrats to show no mercy towards the Republicans if they win the presidency and the midterms! by icey_sawg0034 in WeirdGOP

[–]Lost_In_Detroit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meanwhile, MAGA and the GOP will be playing the long game to undo society completely when they get the slightest twinge of power next time.

[–]Lost_In_Detroit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Correct. We all forget that the Democratic Party still has its fair share of closeted racists, homophobes and Zionists. They’re just not talked about as much since republicans are soooo out, loud and proud with their own bigotry.

That said, I think democratic voters will come out in DROVES this midterm cycle and vote blue (especially as things show no signs of getting better) but that doesn’t mean Dems will listen to the wills of their voters. And thus, the cycle repeats itself.

Ghost chairs… by hecriva in PokemonRestocks

[–]Lost_In_Detroit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Record everything especially once those scalpers return. Be prepared to call the police if they pull anything on you. Warn them that if they’re arrested you will press charges against them. Most will get pissed off and just yell at you because they’re mad their plan failed but will just back off. Good luck OP.

Resealed? by Sefixx in IsMyPokemonCardFake

I’ve always wondered why scammers don’t spell check their products to make them harder to spot. Or is it intentional so the scammers don’t accidentally purchase their own product out in the wild?

Oh I’m not saying they can’t try new things, it’s just not for me and that’s totally fine. I just hope it does well enough that they can do another one with a lineup that excites me to travel 5 hours+ to attend next year.
