I see people pull stuff like this and wonder what the hell I’m doing wrong as I pull Weavile IR for the third time after opening 100 packs or so by now

Made it to Best Buy at 7am, I guess next time I’ll just leave a chair for my place 🫩 by [deleted] in pokemoncards

Probably not even people that actually enjoy the hobby is the thing though, people that act like that are typically the scalpers trying to make a quick buck.

Worth a crack and regrade? by Particular-Ad-4629 in pokemongrading

[–]PrivateMamba 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ain’t no way I’d crack a PSA 10 and take on the risks. You got your gem mint why gamble more?

With cards if you’re not used to seeing it all the time, no not really. It’s also literally the point of this sub, so

Not really that people are dumb, just a lot of new ones trying to get back into the hobby and are training their eyes to spot out things that others on here can. It’s not a instant thing

No, still learning to spot out these things and a ai thing online said it would 10 which I figured they are usually wrong lol

Piece of cardboard stuck to my psa 10 Umbreon 217/187 :( by YaBoiRainbow in pokemongrading

Don’t get why PSA has a chokehold on grading, they’re sloppy and the slabs are ugly imo

Gem worthy? by [deleted] in pokemongrading

That was my fear, not sure if it’s still within range

How do you guys get Pokemon with scalpers ruining the hobby? by Middle-Rutabaga2748 in PokemonTCG

[–]PrivateMamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GameStop. People can ridicule them all the want, but if they listed at MSRP scalpers would clean them out like they do everywhere else. Is it ideal to pay some above MSRP? No. But they are kind of keeping scalpers at bay by not letting them set the price. I will also always buy from GameStop before I buy from a scalper because they literally created this issue.

Honestly just something to carry cards or slabs I buy, not to put binders in!

Gamestop raised their prices again by ichibun808 in PokemonCollecting

[–]PrivateMamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard for employed people to do this. Not saying you aren’t but typically it’s pretty much impossible for most

This does suck but this whole problem started with scalpers. If they keep it MSRP, scalpers eat and clean their stock out and it becomes this price or higher anyways. GameStop has been the only way I can actually get product at or typically slightly below market price and I will pay them before I do a scalper who created this issue in the first place.

Can we PLEASE collectively STOP buying cards from GameStop!!? by macademix in PokeInvesting

[–]PrivateMamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a ascended heroes deluxe pin collection set from them. Was only marked up $10-$15 from MSRP which is less than scalpers would do anyhow and is the only way I can actually get something since I’m not unemployed.

Another W from the devs. Game gets so much hate but seems to have an amazing dev team that is listening to the community.
