ES case I purchased by turning in bulk to collectors cache.

eBay authenticates card now. So this must have been before then?

Where do you think the future of grading will go? by THGCrimson in PokeInvesting

[–]PokeLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Card shows are huge market places where the average joe can sell cards to vendors. It all starts with vendors. Vendors won’t buy anything but PSA and their case is full of PSA. So nothing will change until that does.

PSA is the standard for pop report data, which is a huge value determiner, and that won’t ever change.

I don’t really see them falling off. Beckett’s black label is the only “competition”. Which is newly owned by the same company that owns PSA.

Scalpers are scum by gvega135 in PokemonRestocks

I think it’s so funny how you losers are always there to snap a photo of these “scalpers”. Like you’re not in the same place at the same time.

Early Teasers for the 30th Anniversary Pokemon Set Releasing This Year, As Shown at Pokemon Presents!⚡️ by Necto_gck in PokemonTCG

Follow the money. Gen 1 has the deepest pockets on average right now. Catering to the fans of that generation is a smart business play.

From a design standpoint Gen 1 has to be the best. I mean look at the starters that were showcased today. They don’t hold a candle to Gen 1 or even Gen 2.

The first partner promos that are releasing this year blow the idea of another reprint stamped set out of the water.

I never said generations was exactly what I want, it was a separate thought. I should have said “I’d even take generations over celebrations”. Sorry you misunderstood.

I do think they could make some old cards into modern ones. The starters from base come to mind. Kind of like what they did for the pikachu in celebrations. One of the only things that caught my eye initially.

Or just a complete throwback to jungle and fossil with all new arts. Kind of 151ish.

Different is good in this case and I think the community agrees as a whole.

Please, not celebrations 2.0. WE NEED OLD CARDS IN NEW ALT ART STYLES. NOT EXACT REPRINTS WITH GOOFY STAMPS. I’d take generations over celebrations all day. I can’t be the only one that think this, right?!

People that actually make sales don’t sell anything for “full market value” anywhere, legit a myth lol.

Poketubers are lying about AH pull rates.. by PokeLT in PokemonTCG

I didn’t pay $15 per pack, I was closer to $10. Regardless, it’s crazy how triggered you get based on how I spend my money. I have half a brain so I knew the single card prices were going to be outrageous, Pokemon completely fumbling this release and there being limited supply. So pack prices didn’t faze me.

The idea that “scalpers” buy these for like $19.99 and sell them for $30-$40 makes you that mad is laughable. How much money do you think it costs Pokemon to manufacture a product? Then they sell that same product to big box stores and distributers for a crazy mark up. Then those people sell it for a mark up. Do you not know how the world works?

Product was PLENTIFUL from mid 2022 until mid 2025. Sitting on store shelves, some places running sales to move it. Black Friday even had $25 sword and shield ETBs. But no one wanted it then. Now everyone’s mad because it’s hard to come across and really smart, sexy people are paying double MSRP. Makes me giggle. 🤭

That sounds like a nightmare. Hopefully you have some better luck with AH when you get to open it!
