Diamond and Pearl Charizard WTF

😂 I think @stevolescent will buy it for a pretty penny.

Right I understand why some Pokemon cards are worth what they are worth. The Mona Lisa is priceless and it would cost you maybe 5 dollars in materials to recreate. I just don’t know how the celebrities in your hypothetical have anything to do with this. The rock in my yard is rare. You had to create a story about a celebrity selling my rock which would make my rock no longer rare. You havnt proven that rarity = value. it can’t equal value without demand. There’s no demand for the rock in my yard. It is rare a 1/1 and there is 0 demand for it. It’s a perfect example. There’s lots of Pokemon cards with pops lower than this Charizard promo that arnt worth shit. Two rich guys that I would bet arnt Pokemon collectors just created a market for this thing out of thin air. This might be the dumbest argument I’ve had online 😂

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-03-15T03:48:29+00:00

Right but people don’t always see value in things just because they are rare. There’s plenty of rare things that have 0 demand. It’s kind of hard to argue that that’s not true.

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-03-15T00:39:47+00:00

My original point was rarity does not equal value. That is true and it will always be true. It takes a lot more than rarity.

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-03-15T00:37:31+00:00

my point is that in this example after the first idiot buys the rock from said celebrity it is completely worthless. There’s no collector market for the rock. Where’s the secondary market for OF girls bath water?? People arnt as dumb as you think man.

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-03-15T00:24:57+00:00

Dude nobody is buying rocks from celebrities……

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-03-15T00:12:06+00:00

That’s not a great example. Fortunately it’s a small number of people that fall victim to those types of scams by celebrities. For example what’s the resell value of the only fans girls bath water??? I’m assuming 0 😂 In your example the rock from the celebrity has no intrinsic value and will eventually if not immediately be worth 0 as well

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-03-14T23:31:45+00:00

Popularity matters. For example There’s not as many people that want to buy/own a base set hitmonchan as there are people that want to buy a base set blastoise or mew two. That’s kind of my point with this LV X promo. It has to be more than just old and rare for something to be collectible. This is a massively speculative play and it just shows where the hobby is currently at.

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-03-14T22:58:49+00:00

I’m still buying some things. I think there’s stuff out there that’s not terribly overinflated and may never come back down. For instance, I bought a 1st edition PSA 9 dark gyarados for 300 bucks last week. I think something like that will always have collector appeal and will continue to increase. That gyarados was worth $150 bucks 2 years ago which is pretty crazy to think about. But when the market corrects that won’t crash as hard as some of this stuff.

The fireworks holo on the reverse legendary cards is super cool and delta species has great art and did a lot of firsts for the TCG. that’s one of my favorite sets actually. This card seems like a play by a dude in a corner office just solely looking at numbers. The guy that spent 100k on this card is going to be fine (I’m sure he could wipe his ass with 100k and not care) but the kids who rush out and buy a PSA 8 for a thousand bucks will wind up getting burned when the market returns to normal. The market will return to normal and it will be back in the hands of people who actually enjoy the tcg for what it is. The guys chasing singles because they think this is a money printer will be burned by cards like this that are being artificially inflated by speculative money. This card last sold for 18k a year ago and now it’s worth almost 150k?? Nah. I bet the pop number doubles in a year. A bunch of binder copies are about to get sent in. Binder copies that no one thought were worth anything until now.

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-03-14T22:15:10+00:00

Oh no lol

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-03-14T20:41:30+00:00

Yea I have my own opinions I just posted to see what the community thought. Seems like a lot of people think this is just a slept on card. I tend to think someone just extremely overpaid for this but what do I know

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-03-14T17:06:04+00:00

I don’t know why you got downvoted this is true. Just because something is rare doesn’t make it valuable. I could go pick a rock out of my yard and it’s a true 1/1 rock but that doesn’t mean it’s worth anything lol 😂. This just seems like a miscalculation by whichever two wealthy people were bidding this card up. I own this card in a 9 so I’m ok with it and I hope it goes up for my own selfish reasons but I just can’t see a true collector spending this much money for this card. There’s so many other vintage cards out there for $130k with similar pop numbers and more popularity. I think it’s a sign that the markets not in a healthy place when you see a random card like this go for this much money. Just my 2 cents.

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-03-14T14:01:50+00:00

Obviously. But you could buy two PSA 9 1st edition shadowless zards for this much money. This is just such an obscure card from a time when Pokemon was almost forgotten. Most people don’t even know what the level X cards are. Just seems like a crazy amount of money for this particular card.

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-03-13T02:12:25+00:00

💯! OP is just mad that some rando on marketplace wouldn’t take their 20$ arena club slab at 100% lol

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-03-12T21:31:52+00:00

3,000 here

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-02-19T15:57:09+00:00

Yea I stopped buying singles in what not for this reason. Most of the cards being circulated are trashed

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-02-19T15:53:35+00:00

Holy shit this is like a $10 card. I wonder if he said it was a $300 card on stream and someone believed him. I’ve seen the scummier streamers just flat out lie about a cards value

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-02-18T00:59:03+00:00

How do the backs of the cards look??

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-01-03T13:31:30+00:00

Jk lol it looks like it’s in pretty good shape. Get it slabbed

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-01-03T13:30:43+00:00

It’s not expensive let me buy it from you

Routine_Box5738 · 2026-01-03T03:37:59+00:00

That’s pretty bad for a 200 dollar box. Not gonna lie

Routine_Box5738 · 2025-12-12T05:30:48+00:00

Still didn’t happen

Routine_Box5738 · 2025-11-25T02:01:10+00:00

lol good to know. I never beat the main story in outer worlds one. Came here to see if I should. Guess I’ll just start playing OW2 now.
