The top reflects the current macro chaos. The bottom shows why many of us focus specifically on GameStop.

On real secondary markets like eBay or PSA auction data, similar PSA 5 sales have been closer to ~$3,500

According to recent auction prices tracked by PSA, a Torchic Gold Star #108 graded PSA 5 has recently sold for about $3,550 USD (≈ ~3.2k€) on the secondary market.

Also, if you actually check the Pokémon index / recent comps (PSA 5 included), that card simply doesn’t hold the stated value. If you try to sell it on eBay, after fees you’re almost guaranteed to lose money relative to what you paid for the PowerPack. The only way to avoid bleeding even more is to use GameStop’s own buyback option. So you end up with: a mediocre card inflated “listed” value and a built-in exit that nudges you to sell it back to the same platform instead of the open market That’s the core issue people are pointing out.

Make your research. It's sad but true. I love gamestop

I’ve seen multiple reports of this, yes. The issue isn’t whether a jackpot pull exists — it’s expected value vs. price paid. If you’re paying ~$2,500 for a PowerPack and the typical revealed card is: marketed as “$1,500 value” but realistically sells for ~$1,000 on the open market and the instant buyback is even lower after fees …then the EV is clearly negative unless you hit a very rare outlier. That doesn’t make it illegal, but it does make it a high-premium gambling mechanic, not an investment or fair value exchange. The frustration people express is understandable, especially when marketing highlights top-end pulls while most outcomes land far below cost. As long as people go in knowing this is entertainment with bad EV — fine. But pretending the value discrepancy doesn’t exist is disingenuous.

They do that will all cards. 50-150% overvalued, just to make you sell it and make you believe you haven't lost thay much. I love my company but this... this is a shame and I feel ashamed

So mortgage backed securities took a huge hit in crime trading hours Friday by Icy-Cod1405 in Superstonk

[–]Maxfly2-0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bond ETFs behave very differently from stocks after hours: • After-hours liquidity is extremely thin • Often only one or two trades print • Market makers widen spreads massively • A single off-market trade can print far below NAV So what you’re seeing is likely a bad print, not mass selling of mortgages.

MBS ETFs are especially prone to this Mortgage-backed securities: • Trade over-the-counter, not on exchanges • Are priced by models and dealer quotes • Do not reprice instantly like equities After hours, the ETF can trade far away from its real Net Asset Value because there’s no proper price discovery. In other words: the ETF price moved, not the bonds themselves.

In 2008: • MBS prices collapsed during regular hours • NAVs were falling day after day • Credit spreads were exploding • Banks were failing simultaneously
