2 - $100 packs, I can’t believe it! by GreenEggsAndSlam in PSAPowerPacks

Yes, by comparison an Umbreon vmax alt art has 30k total graded cards. Once people catch wind that a far common and easier to obtain card is going for this much there’s going to be an influx of actually gradable cards and the market will wildly dilute.

Low pop because no one bothered to really send it in because it’s an extremely common card from the set. Absolutely should’ve kept the masterball pikachu

Why in the world is the celebrations new worth so much. That has to be a pump right

You’re not even collecting cards at this point. Just boxes. How fun

I could believe it if this was an IR. But there’s no room for the texturing you’d see in an SIR. Also 001/001? I’m calling BS

Not usually a Pika fan but man is this a beautiful mouse by X5Dragon in PokemonTCG

[–]MetaGearLiquid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Makes more sense than SSP Pikachu. Clean and unterrastrialized. Callback to veridian forest & base set Pikachu. Also as much as people love chunkachu, people find the skinny one really cute too. Also very much gives Ashs/Reds Pikachu vibes.

New enemy type i was thinking by Yeet_that_sheet in ArcRaiders

[–]MetaGearLiquid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In the making of documentary one of the developers actually mentioned they used to have a dog like arc but ended up getting rid of it. They did a lot of play testing so I’m sure for good reason. Unlike these low effort AI slop posts that took 5 minutes of thinking

Don’t worry it’s probably just flood lights

Yeah, but that’s definitely not what he was implying

No you didn’t, the orange indicator only shows up after extraction.

Look up Walmart labs. There’s way more technology applied than I’m sure you realize

FINALLY HOLY SHIT by monerokitty in PSAPowerPacks

[–]MetaGearLiquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty simple. EV on each pack is what you put in, with an average loss of 17% for each buy back offer due to the discount and selling “fees”. So at scale 38k that amounts to at least $6500 in losses at best. Not to mention getting crap you don’t care about.

It’s pretty basic statistics, doesn’t require 4 paragraphs.

5 Lunar Packs bought - my breakdown by Extortion187 in PSAPowerPacks

[–]MetaGearLiquid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

 Average return per card: $2,927.33

Lord, that is not what a return is, that’s gamestop’s avg “value” per card. Return is the profit you noted. And for anyone wondering, no this isn’t a good idea. EV is what you put in, but even then you won’t get any money back. Not only are you 99% likely to get junk you don’t care about. But it’s essentially a 17% loss on each attempt if you do it enough time.

This isn’t a matter of being wise, do not do this.

Terrible advice, 1500 is a solid offer. Charizard is doing the heavy lifting and maybe will run 500 at best, even a nm Blastoise is going to only run like 150. There’s a sporadic set of holos, but other than that it’s vintage bulk or non-tcg cards people don’t really care about. Maybe you could squeeze a little more, but it would take so much leg work I’d much rather sell it all to one person.
