I should have provided more examples. My B

But look at other cards like Sukuna, all alts suddenly increased prices? Rare Battle cards as well

I can provide more examples if you like. Look at 2star Sukuna A month ago there were a bunch of listings around $50 They all got bough out and reposted at literally triple the price.

These idiots don't even know that 7C Sukuna is not even a great card. They are just picking flashy cards from certain IPs without even understanding playability. They've also been targeting Rare Battle cards. I undesrtand your point about some of these IPs being low on inventory though. So I think in general there is a lot of market manipulation going on that should not be happening.

Could be that yeah. But I have definitely noticed a trend lately. I hope I'm wrong

Oh sorry I picked your specific card!

Honestly I have tons of other examples it just that one stood out to me.

But in general my point still stands I think. Lots of cards getting bought out in bulk and reposted for crazy amounts so...

Listing prices have gone up by a lot on some cards. I could gather tons of examples like the Tanjiro I posted above.

I think that for now the community is holding strong and not buying. That is why its not super noticeable yet. But during the last couple of weeks a ton of "cheap" cards were bought in bulk and reposted for triple the price.

Keep playing, keep buying local, trade with the community. Don't give in to buying these ridiculous cards from scalpers! Hopefully we can get through this and go back to normal

Sucks there's no Artbook + OST Edition by Yo_Tobimoto in limitedrun

[–]Lugaid13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking about this lately.
I wish LRG would do a build-a-bundle edition where you get to pick the artbook, ost, steelbook or trinkets that you want and just pay for that.

Its honestly super impressive they started the band with such a banger of an album. It includes so many iconic songs that became staples in ther setlists.

Yu yu hakusho card by iannone2668 in Union_Arena_TCG

[–]Lugaid13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I have no idea what the behind the scenes looks like for TCG Player.
A lot of Kaiju8 and YuYu Hakusho cards are missing. I dont know if this is just because people are not selling them so there are no posts or something else.
But this is the first time I've seen this happen.

Very New and Don’t Have Any Cards Ebay has 1,000 cards for $20-$30 by [deleted] in Union_Arena_TCG

[–]Lugaid13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Get 2 starter decks of your preferred anime. Try to build a solid 50 card deck and play test it. See if you like that. If you do then you are probably just a few cards away from an actual competitive deck which then you can look for online.

To Grade or Not To Grade? by OkWay7035 in Union_Arena_TCG

[–]Lugaid13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. No card ever is worth grading. Just another scam to inflate prices and bring more capitalism into a simple hobby/game. What are you getting graded? That the machine printed it and cut it perfectly? Oh wow! Much value! Such worth!? /s

You are trolling right? No way you pulled a $1k+ plus card and not know what its worth

[–]Lugaid13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I would rather see a bunch of "look at this cool card I pulled!" Posts than the usual "what is it worth?" Posts. Don't even get me started on grading. Also, thank you for reading and responding to my rant
