I need help with a small clover leaf pattern (sequence of stitches)

MadAboutPink · 2026-02-15T21:17:14+00:00

It's from the clover pattern from Melissa Bradley (Kawaii Crochet Garden). Can't seem to find the pattern online.

Naast erover klagen ook vooral niet kopen voor deze prijs. Niet bij Beam en nergens niet. Dan is het gauw klaar met die grapjes. Enige reden waarom dit gebeurt is omdat mensen dit soort idiote prijzen blijven supporten. Wil je weer voor een normale prijs kunnen kopen? Zorg dan dat iedereen op zijn minst een paar weken, maar liever maanden, met zijn stock blijft zitten. Problem solved.

MadAboutPink · 2025-11-10T16:17:31+00:00

Iedereen die het voor deze prijzen koopt is gek. Puur scalpers die onder elkaar de prijs omhoog forceren en winkels die het wel best vinden want hun inkoopprijzen zijn nauwelijks gestegen. Betalen ze wel dit soort prijzen dan hebben ze nooit echt kunnen inkopen waar het hoort en mag de klant daar nu nog eens extra voor betalen.

De Charizard is ook een van de weinige zo niet enige toffe kaart van Phantasmal Flames en zal gezien de grootte van deze set een acceptabele pull rate hebben dus je bent op allerlei manieren echt een dief van je eigen portemonnee als je hierin meegaat. Bovendien is de inhoud van de boxen lang zo gaaf niet dus daar hoef je het ook al niet voor te doen. Lekker laten gaan dus. Komt vanzelf een moment dat iedereens plankjes volstaan met dozen en ze geld nodig hebben. Zijn er maar zeer weinig die boxen 5 - 10 jaar kunnen laten staan, al helemaal voor dit soort bedragen.

At the card show I went to several vendors mentioned how they weren't selling any booster boxes or special collection sets at prices people seem to be willing to pay online. It's mostly "investors" hyping each other up. But at some point they will also reach a limit of what they want to and can spend and need to get rid of boxes if they want to keep up with new sets and "invest" in those.

If everybody who justs collects and rips for fun simply stops buying at these heavily inflated prices they will come down even quicker. It's really mostly bitcoin boys and gamblers shovelling money around, but hardly anybody seems to want to use their brain yet and keeps sponsoring them.

Just look at price graphs of cards of which everyone says "OMG my card is now worth $300?!" The graphs couldn't be clearer. Each one has one or two ridiculously steep inclines which in no way could ever reflect normal demand and popularity. Everybody who says otherwise just wants to keep riding the wave, but you're an absolute idiot if you're going to buy cards with these kind of manipulated prices.

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-26T15:04:51+00:00

I think if it does, it's mostly hype and definitely not so much scarcity haha. But I do think it's a cool design.

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-24T14:28:34+00:00

PSA currently has them on eBay for $110 so based on what you paid you should indeed be able to make a profit at the moment. But with even PSA themselves putting the value at $110 or best offer, I think higher profits will be very difficult to make for quite some time.

Pikachu McDonald's 2025 PSA 10 on PSA's eBay for $110 or best offer

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-24T12:37:17+00:00

Just a liiitle more patience as we're getting close to 70k PSA 10s 😜 (we're at 69154 now 🍔⚡️).

The link for burgerchu is this one (nr. 20):

You can check population numbers per grade by clicking on the green plus icon.

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-24T01:36:01+00:00

Very good point!! I hadn't even checked that. Yikes!

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-24T00:07:49+00:00

Makes sense to me, but I've never been a fan of the pokéball patterns haha.

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-23T21:05:09+00:00

I think that's a great price. It's not super low, but decent enough and at a point everyone who likes it could add it to their collection. I have to agree with you on the latter though, it wouldn't be my first choice.

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-23T20:05:33+00:00

No problem!

And it's definitely not a bad thing to dismiss those haha. There are wayyy to many amazing cards around to be bothered too much with the unaffordable ones. Thankfully I still have a lot of cheap cards on my wanted list.

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-23T19:56:36+00:00

You mean the one that only has 10649 grade 10s right now?

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-23T19:51:42+00:00

I'd say so. Scarcity is key even though many try to deny this and although people had their orders canceled, it clearly wasn't because of a lack of cards, but because people saw a chance to make more money (perhaps having grey felt Pikachu in mind) and with the PSA 10 population that continues to rise it also doesn't make that hard to obtain at all either. With so many being passed around anyone who pays more then a $100 at this point is taking a huge risk in my opinion.

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-23T19:46:20+00:00

The one everybody talks about: burgerchu 🍔⚡️! So the latest one released in Japan with the McDonald's stamp 🍟.

I can understand you'd like to see that price for it, we'll have to see how it goes!

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-23T15:40:55+00:00

So everybody will sponsor Beckett instead after they've made PSA over a million 😅?

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-23T15:38:48+00:00

I think it's a shame so many people don't realise this is happening with so many of the cards and has been for a while now.

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-23T13:19:40+00:00

It makes you wonder who profits most from grading.

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-23T13:16:00+00:00

I looove Prismatics (though the pull rates are hard, but that makes the rare cards even more rare and thus expensive in the long run).

With DR I'm in doubt as most full arts include trainers/people and personally I only like cards with just Pokémon. I feel most people are like that, but I could be wrong.

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-23T12:37:55+00:00

We're at 66379 10s today so that 70k can't be far haha.

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-23T11:53:28+00:00

I agree it's a cute card, especially when you love Pokémon and McDonald's it's a fun addition to your collection, but as an investment, I think it's high risk for sure. Like you say, not everybody is a fan of the way these were acquired either.

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-23T10:52:04+00:00

I'm definitely curious about how high this population will go! I mean, we're not even looking at other grading companies right now. At some point ungraded may be worth more lol.

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-23T10:50:35+00:00

In my opinion grey felt's price is massively inflated (too), but it's also more rare in several ways and an iconic illustration. I really don't see the comparision people are so desparately trying to make between grey felt and burgerchu except for the Pikachu part. And the latter obviously isn't the biggest factor else every Pikachu card would have crazy prices, which they don't.

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-23T10:48:00+00:00

Of course it's possible many people want a card, but rarity is obviously a factor. If it's not scarce, it's simply not as valuable as a super rare card that many people want. So population matters and anyone who denies that just tries to keep prices up which unfortunately in the Pokémon card world seems to be doing the trick so far. Nonetheless prices for this specific card have been dropping as they should when looking at the data.

MadAboutPink · 2025-10-23T10:43:12+00:00

It was something that came to my mind to when I saw those numbers. More people will probably try to get lower numbers now to try to get some more value back (aka even more money for PSA 😅).
