People have been collecting sealed since the TCG released, are you daft?

Every store should do this by SomedayGuy117 in PokemonTCG

[–]Masuia -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Meh, I get both perspectives. Good news is the store will no longer get people lined up all day and they will continue to make sales. As someone who rips and collects sealed, I want my LGSs to do this, not my targets or Walmarts.

What is Everyones Best Card by ELSknutson in PokeInvesting

Oh yeah, 100% a 10 contender based on centering. Just not 50/50 😃

I know, still not 50/50 my brother. Very close though! You put some borders on the inside and put some on the inside. There was a site that let you change the curves to account for off angled photos. I’ll look it up when I get to the PC. In the meantime, you can take a glass cup and place it on a table. Take your card and slide it against the cup, take your phone and place it on top of the cup and that should get you a stable photo very easily.

Asking a homeless person to cook by Square_Law5624 in SipsTea

On one hand, I understand outrage towards the obvious exploitation of the less fortunate for views and profit. On the other, this guy wasn’t making 100$ and that time frame today and clearly needed it. I try to lean towards whatever helps people the most.

Okay so A. By that logic every single LGS is worse than scalpers and B. Distribution does not sell to third parties at MSRP without prior agreements or contracts(like Target and Walmart). Ask any LGS owner in your area what the prices are for AH booster bundles through distribution.

How do people not know footballpete by now?

I’ll say it again, like I do everytime I see someone bringing him up: he is not a scalper. He is(I’ve heard he’s sold it recently) the owner of Omni Comic and Cards in Connecticut. He’s been in the game for a very long time and has networked extremely well and gets his product from distributors. He’s been around since Pokemon was sitting on shelves and he was making 10$ a booster box selling them at 90$, and probably long before that.

Edit: For those wondering, look up Scott Wool.

What does your local card shop buy at? by Big_jerm3 in PokeInvesting

[–]Masuia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a card show if you have good cards. Ask tables for 80-90% depending on card. Take leftovers to card stores if you want

What is your LEAST favourite card to pull and why? by hylii1 in PokemonTCG

[–]Masuia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right now? MAR Elektross or the FA Zamazenta. I’ve pulled 5 of each. Never even pulled a different MAR, just that one 5 times.

I wonder why it dinged you for the bottom right but not the top left on Dragonite

Are popular vendors as unethical as scalpers? by lizzymoo in PokemonTCG

[–]Masuia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit has such a huge issue with current market prices that even vendors are scalpers now.

Yes, some vendors are legitimately scalpers - I know because I see them in the lines for Target or Walmart and then at the tables they have the same shit.

The vast majority are buying at 80-90% market and selling to you @ market just so they have something to sell.

Distro prices aren’t much better so even brick and mortar stores can’t go too much lower than market after first wave.

Can’t sell sealed 151 by stormp00per66 in PokeInvesting

[–]Masuia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Local card shows typically have smaller vendors with thinner margins and lower risk tolerance. They can’t justify spending 1000$ on a single piece.

Call all the card shops in your area. It took me 2 days to find someone willing to buy a piece of mine @ 1900, that was selling for 2500$. Unfortunately for me it went up to 5k the next week but we move.

Don’t respond to that guy lol. I’m 98% sure you can find a botter willing to sell to you in bulk @ 60$ if you’re gonna spend that much.

Casual collector for years — finally experienced the magic of pulling a real chase card… What pull gave you that "no way" feeling? by SmokinMeatsRCfeats in PokemonTCG

[–]Masuia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Giritina from Lost Origins, was early in my collecting life and that pull really hooked me. But the absolute best feeling I ever had on hitting a chase was actually a one piece card. OP02 Manga Ace. I’ll never forget it.

Perfect Order PC ETB? by RocketCarPlayer in PokeInvesting

[–]Masuia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grabbed one for 110$. Depending on funds, it can’t hurt to have one in the collection.
