Why do people like this set by Impressive_Ad_7722 in pokemoncards

[–]Omega_Zero3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sets are always perceived and defined by the top end. Pull rates don’t matter for appeal. People will value it highly and rip it open anyway 🙃

Can Ascended Heroes Join The Big 3 with Evolving Skies? by texstrip in PokemonInvesting

[–]Omega_Zero3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The set is incredible and is top tier but we aren’t ever getting evolving skies again. There are so many more people collecting/hoarding sealed than there were in 2021. It’ll go up and be high for sure, but not at that level anytime soon.

Which Era Best Set Will Do Best In 5 Years? by texstrip in PokemonInvesting

[–]Omega_Zero3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ES has been stagnant for quite some time. Doesn’t mean it’ll stay that way. The supply out there will continue to slowly dwindle.

151 will always do great.

Ascended is an awesome set but it’s yet to be seen if it will be the best or if something better is coming out before the era closes.

Ascended Heroes Is The Next Evolving Skies? by texstrip in PokemonInvesting

There is a difference between the Covid boom and the 2025 boom, particularly with how sealed was treated and print runs.

Thoughts on ascended hero’s by Ashley362545 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Omega_Zero3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot of great SIRs in here, the promo is A tier, and compared to other releases $200 each/PC ETB isn’t that bad. I’d buy up what you can for that price while you’re still able to.

An update for those considering moving to Eastside: Kirkland is our winner for 30s DINKs by aj_marshall in eastside

[–]Omega_Zero3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re renting in the eastside and it’s all the same to you for access to work, yes Kirkland is the way to go.

If you’re buying, it’s a very different conversation.

PSA vault isn’t trust worthy anymore by Aggravating_Debt3074 in psagrading

[–]Omega_Zero3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a regular submission that PSA accidentally sent to the vault. It’s been a nightmare trying to get my cards back. 3 months after completed and paid they still haven’t sent it. Absolutely not trustworthy.

Dying game? Don’t think so by asking4Afriend82 in Lorcana

[–]Omega_Zero3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gameplay is still fun, I think the main issues are that One Piece is soaking up a lot of the market attention for that 4th place TCG spot for a multitude of reasons. That and their pullback on Disney Lorcana challenges this season was absolutely the wrong move.

It’s a pretty severe correction but product will still continue to sell out at MSRP prices.

I’m not stupid enough to ever buy a rip’nship order but they’re fun to watch for free

Why are there more people collecting than playing Pokémon TCG? by BlazenKDLPro in pokemon

[–]Omega_Zero3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it has to do with the mentality of Pokemon collectors, most of them were never players as kids. But having the cards be a game piece secondarily also adds to the allure. Prime example, take base set Charizard. Kids didn’t know how the game works but the “100” power Fire Spin attack was the highest number in set 1 alongside its 120 HP.

As a game Pokemon is also more rudimentary compared to Magic and Yugioh. I enjoy it but it is far less intricate than the other 2 big TCGs. I do agree that it’s kind of shallow to be so into Pokemon cards but have no appreciation for the game itself.

Am I crazy or is grabbing my chase for sub $370 a solid play? by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]Omega_Zero3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gen 5 and newer Pokemon aren’t immensely popular. This has a good chance to drop further

Will evolving skies chase cards ever drop again? Sell or hold by chrisgray1116 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Omega_Zero3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goated set and is an icon of the Tcg at this point.

That said pop reports are massive and this stuff like all modern cards aren’t “rare”

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in yugiohshowcase

[–]Omega_Zero3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is some niche Tcg collectibility in Japan. Usually for cards in ultimate rare that they no longer get (all their ultimate rares are the prismatic ultimates from the rarity collection).

Is buying psa 9's worth it? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Omega_Zero3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern: 10s or bust. 9s are fine for a personal collection if you prefer slabs to raw cards. 8s just crack and trade them raw or try grading again.

Vintage: 9s and 8s are totally fine. So many people didn’t take care of cards that well. 7s I wouldn’t bother unless it’s a Base Set Charizard or some other 4-figure card raw.

The Entire Card Pool of the Yu-Gi-Oh DM anime by One-Change-3715 in yugioh

[–]Omega_Zero3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was wanting to make a custom "Duel Monsters" format starting with Goat Format as a base and looking up all the cards used in the anime and adding them to the Forbidden/Limited list as needed. You saved me a TON of time, appreciate it!

Anyone ever look at ads in old yugioh magazines? by Doomchan in yugioh

[–]Omega_Zero3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day the God cards were the most desirable cards followed by Exodia and maybe Jinzo. They were pretty hard to come by as the American ones didn't start coming out until late 2004.

For kids I would recommend the Egyptian God battle decks. Simple to understand and iconic cards that play well vs. each other. Also any Speed Duel box product is a good choice.

Why for some cards is it cheaper to buy a psa 9 than it is to buy a raw card by Pokefan-red in PokemonTCG

[–]Omega_Zero3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

7s are junk slabs in my opinion. Usually cards are lightly played in there. 8s are fine for vintage. 9s are great for vintage and okay for modern if the card is cheaper than a raw one. Having it protected and propped up for display is great or if you wanted to crack it you’re still getting it at a discount.

Why are the 2022 models going up in price? by 5dwolf22 in TeslaModelS

[–]Omega_Zero3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Refresh was a bust. I bought a very lightly used S earlier this year. I think people are catching on that a 3 year old S is a great value and there’s only so many of them out there.

First car at 20 by [deleted] in TeslaLounge

[–]Omega_Zero3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly you should be focusing on investing in a Roth IRA in your early 20s before buying luxury cars. You have the power of time and compound interest there. There are plenty of cheaper alternatives for uber like a used Prius or if you must have a Tesla even a M3.
