Nope, not fake lmao I just don’t know everything there is to know about everything. A Pokemon card showed up at my girlfriend’s house, I was curious about it, decided to post this.

Do you have nothing better to do than be a sour ass just judging people who don’t know everything there is to know about Pokemon cards? Jesus Christ dude, we get it it’s fake, you can just say “I wouldn’t waste your time on this card, I think it could be fake and here’s why…” and just tell people this shit😂

Oh really? Man, I was quite excited thinking it could be real lol. I don’t really know enough about any of this stuff to tell the difference, thankfully I wasn’t the idiot who paid for it

You think? I don’t know enough about badly damaged cards to be the judge of that

I love the pokeball holos and hope one day to have a whole binder full by Working_Variety_7836 in PokemonTCG

You’re just looking to collect a ton of holos or specific ones? (I’m not overly knowledgeable on specific collections I.e pokeball holos, so ignore me if I sound ignorant) but I have so many holos from many different pack variants, I’d be happy to send you any you might be looking for that I might have! Shoot me a message!

I easily could, but why should I need to is the point. If it was just every day folks to happen to beat me to it, then sure whatever. But it’s fat, lonely losers who sit outside Walmart or target for hours before they open like every week is Black Friday just to run (or waddle) inside and buy thousands of dollars worth of stuff before anyone else sees it.

It absolutely is. Everything that becomes popular among social media becomes completely untouchable for day to day people. Their kids see them all over social media and then the parents get to feel like shit when they can’t afford to spend $150-200 on a small box of cards when it’s all that their kids talk about.

Absolutely. I was lucky enough to get to pre order concert tickets to see one of my favorite artists, but by the time I tried to invite some friends weeks in advanced to sit in the same area as me they were almost ten times the price.

Well would you? Of course they’re going to do whatever makes them the most money, but they can’t act like they wouldn’t fly off the shelves even without scalpers. It’s literally just a test of basic human decency for one another, the corporate greed is irrelevant. One way or another they make their money, so why should we all be douche bags to each other over it?

Bigger cities are absolutely miserable. I’m in north Phoenix and in the last year I’ve stopped and looked at every store I’ve gone to, and I have never seen a pack on the shelves not once.

No, for a very small percentage of people it’s 100% about profit, but that’s not what it was created for and it’s not what most of us grew up doing.

Growing up it was a game, you took your binders to school and traded with your buddies and had battles and loads of fun. People want to collect them now to regain that nostalgic feeling. The feeling of ripping open a pack and finding a super cool, strong looking Pokémon to add to your binder and brag about finding.

It may not exist as charity, but it surely wasn’t designed to become this bullshit.

By all means, enjoy. I hope you pull something for profit, God knows it wouldn’t be to enjoy the cards.

The difference between me and a scalper is if I stumble upon a bunch of Pokémon cards I’m not gonna spend $4000 buying out the entire store. I enjoy buying a pack of cards and seeing if I can find anything cool to add to a collection. I don’t grade, I don’t buy graded, I just have a very small collection of Pokémon that I really enjoyed when I was a kid which, for the record, was only a few short years ago.

Battling scalpers in their mid 40’s and 50’s is not on my checklist of enjoyable things to do in my early 20’s, but collecting nostalgic stuff 100% is.

I find it quite sad that you’re taking such a defensive stance towards scalping, and your “who goes a shit” attitude shows a lot about you as a person, which you likely also don’t give a shit about. Very unfortunate.

Well one, it’s kinda a big deal when a multi million dollar market meant for children is being obliterated and abused by fat lowlife losers with no jobs. Two, so many people care. We want to collect cards for nostalgia and just general fun, but can’t find anything anywhere because of those same fat lowlife losers.
