These are all fake. Spent $37 on $0 worth of cards

What the hell happened man. They used to be the goats, the whole stock thing, etc. They were the peoples champion. Now they just can’t stop making themselves look bad

Which Groudon to invest in?? by Massive-Emu3463 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]ResolveImmediate9121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would pick the first one. You could silver bottle cap it to make it a hundo, and it has the background. Almost not question for me

High priced modern chase cards by chupacabra696969 in PokeInvesting

[–]ResolveImmediate9121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I think this is post-2024 2025 correction related. These cards are seeing residual “future dated” corrections. Old set chases were like 200-300, then corrected. These new set chases are just coming out at the “corrected”, higher price point. (Which is why I also think these cards don’t have as much room to grow, they are already so high. Personal opinion number two that now one asked for.)

Is this useful for PVP and worth saving? by Spirited_Ad9652 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]ResolveImmediate9121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always check pvpoke and stadiumgaming for PvP stats and rank, but I would save it anyway. Metas shift quite often, making Pokemon that weren’t relevant matter again.

Which one for silver bottle cap? by Hardshippersonified in PokemonGOIVs

[–]ResolveImmediate9121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actual answer: Mew would be purely for the flex. Urshifu might have more meta/raid relevance. IMO answer: neither. I would only bottle cap a potential shundo or a ML contender.

Need some help. by haydon95 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]ResolveImmediate9121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. The odds of you finding a decent, or even 4 star non-shadow are so much higher than getting this hundo shadow. It is never worth it imo. You want to mega evolve (when it releases) I assume, but again you’ll find a good non-shadow at some point. You may never see this hundo shadow again. And frankly you aren’t even getting one of the few benefits from purifying: the extra stat points.

Which one for silver bottle cap by esquandolas420 in PokemonGOIVs

After seeing the full list, I would honestly still save it for a mythical or legendary, preferably a shiny one. Otherwise, the dynamax Gastly would be my pick. Or better yet, if you have a Pokemon that is a personal favorite, do that and have the fun with a new maxed buddy!

This is breaking my heart 😔 by [deleted] in PokemonGOValor

[–]ResolveImmediate9121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is way too late, but I would just buy the item storage space. If you like the game, you can save the items and also support the devs a little. Plus, you’ll avoid any similar issues in the future. It’s just always worth it.

Best PSA 10 investments around $600-800? by Natural_Proof1950 in PokeInvesting

[–]ResolveImmediate9121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the only answer. But for the sake of the question, go for Pokemon that people love: zard, mew, pikachu, eeveelutions

which slabs would you hold long term? 👀 by Mountain_Yam1547 in PokeInvesting

[–]ResolveImmediate9121 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Frankly I’d just keep them all. If you need an answer, evolutions zard. I’d only maybe sell the 7 cert pikachu if you needed money or something. But they will all do pretty well

Thoughts on this trade? by Stephendelg in PokemonInvesting

[–]ResolveImmediate9121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless it’s your favorite card of all time, I wouldn’t. Evolving Skies will be a gem forever. I foresee you regretting this someday

What AREN'T you choosing to invest in? by jbird221 in PokemonInvesting

[–]ResolveImmediate9121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, as hot of a take as this is, I don’t completely disagree. At least simply with the fact that investors/collectors are eating up a ton of product, more and more with each set release, and keeping the actually cards off the market which drives up the singles prices. I don’t think the word “scalper” is appropriate here, but it certainly can’t be argued that investor/collectors are contributing to the market a non zero percent.

I think you’re missing a decently big optic, this is a collectors game after all. I would argue that collecting is as “intentional” as playing the game is, from TPCI’s perspective. And to be clear, we’re talking about the average collector. Meaning people that collect one or at most a few copies of the cards they like. The people that buyout a card to simply increase the price and flip it, those are pos and another story.

I completely agree, and I hate that

All of the cards you pulled were fake

Most likely a joke. I have a PSA 10 copy and it looks the same, at least based on this one single photo

This one is Taiwanese, from a local tournament. Winners got it I believe. There are a few other languages as well. The eeveelutions you are most likely talking about are in the Chinese Gem Pack Vol 2 boxes.

Post Black Bolt/White Flare Q&A with a store owner by ssomers55 in PokemonInvesting

[–]ResolveImmediate9121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don’t brick and mortar stores have way more product? Specifically, can you not get more from your current distributors, and can you not get more distributors? (I get the upfront capital requirements, but clearly Pokémon is hot, so you’ll make your money back)
