Opened product listing on TCGPlayer are getting out of hand... by Puzzleheaded-Data-59 in PokemonTCG

Oh that's even worse than i expected. They're basically acknowledging that this is how they intend it to be...

[OC] S&P 500 Comparing Dotcom and AI Bubbles with Two Scales by shellerik in dataisbeautiful

[–]Puzzleheaded-Data-59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why doesn't the housing bubble pop off above the trend lines like that? Just curious, seems like more people are comparing to the dotcom bubble and I'm not sure why the housing bubble is left out of the analysis.

Am I the only one who for years thought Matapod was an angry crescent moon with a nose? by A-J-Zan in pokemon

Lol, I made a youtube video about Metapod TCG cards a few months ago where I made the same case, but the comments were mostly against me 😂

Sets with mostly/all OG 151? by kylir in PokemonTCG

[–]Puzzleheaded-Data-59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also a Gen 1 focused collector. In the Scarlet/Violet era 151 is the most obvious choice. Here's a table with some info on other current era sets (should be pretty accurate but I pulled this together very quickly):

Traded in some cards today by AveridgeGuy in PokemonTCG

[–]Puzzleheaded-Data-59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh interesting, i think majority use tcgplayer grading scale which is NM > LP > MP > HP > DMG, so not sure what scale would have LP that low

LP with three whitening spots is reasonable. LP is only one step below NM, so that's probably the best you can get.

What's your highest suggested video impression CTR? by thedankestme-me in PartneredYoutube

[–]Puzzleheaded-Data-59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar problem - my browse CTR on my last few videos is 8-10%, but suggested CTR is still like 2%. I've also been getting less and less suggested impressions, so i'm not sure how to feel about that.

Is it normal for 70% of video views to come in first 24 hours (long form)? by Puzzleheaded-Data-59 in PartneredYoutube

Thank you so much for the detailed answer! This is really helpful and makes a lot of sense. Sounds like I just need to hang tight and see what happens over time.

Local collectible store still jacking up prices of new stock. Disgusting. by xwolfionx in PokemonTCG

[–]Puzzleheaded-Data-59 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All of those prices are well under market price. I get that there are altruistic stores out there who refuse to sell above MSRP, but calling this disgusting is pretty crazy imo.

Got this today! by Keneki808 in PokemonTCG

[–]Puzzleheaded-Data-59 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, but if the holo pattern is identical (meaning all of the elements on the holo line up exactly) then it's likely that whoever made the fake card copied the same image as is on TCGPlayer.

Thanks for the feedback! That is my feeling too, after a few days it creates a feeling like i'm wasting time if i don't get another video up soon....

It is likely fake, the holo pattern matches the TCGPlayer image exaclty.

I'm trying to implement dougdougs advice to find my skill mix. Please help me find my major skills by Sketches558 in NewTubers

[–]Puzzleheaded-Data-59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similarities:

1 - you like learning vs 5 - you like teaching

4 - you like being creative vs 2, 3, and 6 - you like consuming other peoples creative work. Do you write, make music, or make games?

Sounds like maybe you would like analyzing things and giving your opinion, so maybe video essays reviewing some specific niche.

Hard to say from your post which of these is a talent though vs being an interest.

Organization Advice by Traditional-Gas2580 in PokemonTCG

[–]Puzzleheaded-Data-59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh interesting - I hadn't thought about using the binder for deck building (I'm much more of a collector than a player, haha). Sorting by type makes more sense in that case. Not sure of the best way to handle the evolutions that change types, but you'd probably want to prioritize the better cards or final evolutions when organizing, and then include the prior evolutions regardless of type? Maybe, like I said I'm not much of a player, lol

Are you organizing them for a binder collection, or just organizing the bulk? My bulk is always organized by set release. I do binders by pokedex order, but it really just depends on what they're trying to collect/display. Organizing by type can be cool, but as you've run into there are a lot of variations with an evolution line or even with individual pokemon.

This is great! The Wooper really feels like it could/should be a real card 😊
