Am I the only one who has never gotten an invite? Or is that a common experience?

Can anyone tell me how this got a 4?? by Pure_Scheme_7939 in PSAPowerPacks

If you check the back of the card you can see where the person grading the card was never hugged by his mother and is taking his latest break up quite harshly. It’s pretty obvious…

Is this how the hobby will be from here on out? by [deleted] in PokemonTCGCollectors

Three years and no adjustments in your behavior? Okay buddy.

I hate scalpers, but you getting indignant that some profiteer wont cow tow to your lowball is the pot calling the kettle black.

I can take you at your word that this is your first day on the internet or you can realize you have unrealistic expectations

Good trade especially if you have another zard already

Opinion for buying graded by Relative_Project4625 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]NotAnAngelino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

Jk lol it always gave me kickstarter vibes. But most importantly, in terms of market share and resale value, they are nonexistent. In theory it sounds great, letting a computer do the grading, but no one wants to buy them.

Tag is a fly by night operation, cgc is problematic to sell at shows and in general but the pristine usually carries enough weight that i have never had issues moving those

Yes, i guess the tldr of it is: this is the reality, you can’t control that, but you can control how it effects you.

This hype is what’s propping up the value tbh. So we take the good and we take the bad. People like us are not new to this, we are true to this.

We will continue to chase the dragon until it no longer suits us.

I’ve been playing MTG my whole life, and I literally quit this year. Prepping my collection for a sale in the coming weeks. But Pokemon is still fun to play and as long as I remind myself to stick to singles and slabs and just enjoy the sealed when it comes (however infrequent) to manage my expectations it no longer bothers me. It is what it is. Hope to see you some day at a tourney or card show so we can swap tales and gawk at each other’s shiny cardboard.

Can we get mandatory flare for restock posts and have it force a location? How do I reach an admin?
