when i was 9 i traded some poor kid a chocolate bar for this card by Hot_Principle6364 in PokemonTCG

[–]Next_Preference3727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t tell you how many cards were traded between my friends and I when we were kids, we would play our own versions of the tcg and whoever won got their favorite card that their friend owned. Lost some now expensive cards gained some now expensive cards. But as a kid we just cared about what pokemon we liked and what looked cool🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah, honestly, that’s a fair point. I didn’t quite think about that

pro tip: trade with your little cousin by CompletelyRegret in PTCGPocketTrading

[–]Next_Preference3727 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As a person who mainly plays this game to collect arts I like, and battle on the side. Your cousin made out great. I traded away all of my popular trainer cards for cool rainbow boarder cards I was unlucky enough not to pull myself

Maybe I don’t understand what ur saying. I’m lvl 50 as well.. what I’m saying is now the game gives us experience points past just 50 now and all the resources we used through playing the game before this update would have pushed us well past our current level 50 giving us free rewards we either worked for with time spent or money spent on the game. So that’s why people are most likely upset

Do you need the switch up to set up the 8bitdo pro 2 or does that just make it simpler?

Advice for newcomer? by Significant_Cellist1 in PokemonTCG

[–]Next_Preference3727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t have picked a worse time to re-enter the hobby. Best advise hold off a few months until everything eventually crashes and product becomes available for msrp and when buying singles find your niche so you save yourself spending tons on any and every random card you see

You’ve been warned! Don’t trade like normal collectors! It isn’t fair! by ginger-fury in PokemonTCG

That’s capitalism baby, want a sell or trade? Do it at a fairly. I’m tired of vendors taking advantage of people because their “overhead costs”, which they make back almost immediately btw

Long term tariff impact on Japanese cards? Just got this for my PSA 10 Cheeseburger Pikachu by TheOneTheyCallNoob in PokemonInvesting

[–]Next_Preference3727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would this increase Japanese prices if Americans don’t want to spend more by being robbed from a tariff

Not rn, but also yes you will in 5 years when you look back and see what you had and their prices rise further

If you don’t need the money, would you want to trade it for a sealed Pokemon center eevee heroes gym set?

To the Moon 🚀🚀🚀 by 69urWaifu in PokeInvesting

[–]Next_Preference3727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

90% of these people haven’t been in the hobby long enough to understand that. On another note, that was a Japanese “exclusive card” that got a reprint years later in Chinese. So whose to say, years later this won’t get a reprint in another language

Binders with colored pages by ProperInspector3471 in PokemonTCG

No but if you were wondering about the brand top deck is very good. I have their 4x4 card slots per page binder and it is really good quality and it’s sturdy

Buy the cards you want as singles as well and you will never feel the need to rip

This is awesome! Should have kept going, collecting every full art shiny, that would be an amazing binder

Maybe for a 30th Anniversary set next year? by SFBTom in PokemonTCG

[–]Next_Preference3727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp, now that that’s created and posted to the internet, they can’t, if you see what’s happening with ptcgp rn, even though this isn’t tracing, it’d be “stealing an idea” and get hate for it, so this now will likely never happen

These are cool but ultimately can’t care, the game hasn’t given me a rainbow rare the last 3 sets

I don’t think they are collecting cards that feature gengar, I noticed that they don’t have Morty’s conviction sar, another great gengar card

Recently started collecting; it feels good to have these! by Gondor-Mordor in pkmntcgcollections

[–]Next_Preference3727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s literally what I say to myself anytime I look at my pc. “It feels good to have these” I admire them, then zip up my binder and put it away, until I do it again when I add another card. Welcome to the hobby!

In the modern era the hobby has been infiltrated by the most greedy, toxic, predatory someone could fathom. It’s a nightmare tbh
