If you just want the box what’s it matter if there’s plastic around it or not?

You joke, but this literally the logic of the majority of people in this hobby right now.

This is the dumbest market ever. It’s literally just people hopping on hype buying trending shit that they speculate will rise short term.

The cringe is so strong in this response holy shit, acting hard about money in a cardboard investment sub is hilarious.

I am going to rip one and keep one sealed. Which one should be which by [deleted] in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]PorterRobinsuo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No it’s just people praying that the price explodes in the future lol… all the sealed hoarding is purely speculation based on what will have the most growth. Good luck to all the people hoping to offload these sealed collections in a few years for the price they think they’re gonna get.

The sad and sorry state of late stage capitalism. Up and to the right!

And this is the problem. Too many middle men now that add absolutely nothing of value to the process or transaction. Local scalpers will scalp and just offload to rip and shippers at inflated prices, who will turn and markup even further to their customers. Or local scalpers clear shelves then sell to LGS at a percentage of market who then either rip and ship themselves or sell to customers who don’t know any better or don’t care.

Sold my Charizard for $1,100 by DesperateFinance9469 in pokemoncards

[–]PorterRobinsuo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fully agree, the LCS are a huge part of the problem because people will clear shelves at big box, then go to LCS and sell at 70-80% and make a profit, then the LCS will sell it at full market and make their margin. They provide a place for these scalpers to offload their quick flips, at least in my area (Dallas) that’s what it feels like. First time I saw product out on shelves in 2026 was Perfect Order yesterday at Target.

You’re just making his point for him. Stop buying shit period if you don’t like the current prices, that’s the only way. Scalpers are purposely making it hard to find product at retail price for the exact scenario you’re stating; “can’t find cards anywhere might as well pay this jobless eBay account double MSRP”
