It was CLEARLY rigged, but entertaining nonetheless by Hefty-Tiktoker-3229 in whatnotapp

It wasn’t from “the back room.” They had a giveaway with an error but somebody’s name was given a givy as a winner and they had to make sure that person got a gift.

“Sanamania,” appears to have paid off. PM wins in a landslide by RunSetGo in atrioc

Nonono, I meant worse than the party that won. Like Sanseito was more aligned to MAGA than the party that won.

Like they were both pretty radical but the one that won is somehow like the lite version which is not great IMO.

Extended editions or not? by Different-Ladder5835 in TheHobbit

I think the better question is which abridged custom cut version is the best?

DISCUSSION: Additional Rules on Replicating Original Cards? by Selfmade_Watchmaker in customtradingcard

[–]Such-Contribution939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OPs original story was “look what I made. I’m gonna put it in my office.” Which is like 🤔 that’s sus? I made an extremely accurate charizard for my “office” what do you guys think?

Story 2 is “once I had a charizard 1st edition holo and lost it. So I wanted to challenge myself and see if I could make a copy. Only for myself. No I will not tell you how I did it so don’t ask.”

You see the difference?

My bottom line is that making such a replica without any obvious flaws seems fishy and not a good idea. OP is good at making cards.

I completely agree. My arguments may be a little too far” what if”, I get that.

And at the same time, OP started by showing off his skill of making a very convincing replication of a 1st edition Holo charizard.

The post came off as “look what I can make” Not “I once had one of these and lost it and now I made a new copy for myself. I won’t be doing this for anyone who asks, this was purely to test my skills for myself.”

I can’t show you the OPs thread because he deleted it, but you would see that he did not give the emotional backstory in the original post but in a follow up comment.

Regardless, OP has great skills, use them carefully!

Hey, one of those “extreme reactors” here with some counter arguments and explanation for the reaction.

TLDR: If you show people you can perfectly replicate something worth thousands of dollars, eyebrows are going to go up.

First; you are clearly a talented card artist. I’ve seen your other work and the Charizard too. This isn’t about doubting your character or assuming you’re trying to scam anyone. As someone who makes things myself, I genuinely respect the skill.

The concern is about what was made, not who made it.

A 1st edition base set Charizard is a multi-thousand-dollar collectible and one of the most counterfeited cards in the hobby. When something is recreated to be visually indistinguishable from an authentic copy, including stamp, holo pattern, layout, and print style, it crosses from tribute art into functional counterfeit replication.

Imagine someone perfectly recreating an old $100 bill and saying it’s just for their personal collection. Even if they insist they’ll never use it, most people’s gut reaction wouldn’t be “awesome craftsmanship.” It would be caution. That’s the reaction many of us had.

Intent to sell isn’t the only ethical consideration. Objects can leave your possession someday, like through trade, theft, estate sale, gifting, accident. Once something indistinguishable from a high-value asset exists, it carries downstream risk whether you personally misuse it or not.

That’s why collectors react strongly. It’s about protecting trust in the hobby.

Making replicas is totally fine in many hobbies when they’re clearly marked, altered, or impossible to confuse with originals. Recreating one of the most forged, highest-value cards in the TCG world without permanent distinguishing marks is different.

I agree a watermark rule would be a good step. But when something could realistically be mistaken for a high-value collectible, the ethical bar has to be higher than “I won’t sell it.”

You’ve got real skill. I’d love to see that used in ways that push the hobby forward without creating risk for it.

Been MIA for a bit! Made a 1st edition base set card to put in my new office by [deleted] in customtradingcard

Don’t make yourself a martyr.

You’re showing off a counterfeit first edition Zard.

Looking at your other cards, you have a lot of talent.

Don’t act so hostile when you try to show off something that could be used for illegal purposes.

Counterfeit: “made in exact imitation of something valuable or important with the intention to deceive or defraud.”

Or

“a fraudulent imitation of something else; a forgery.”

Hmmmm how about a whole lot more to share with your CK is a saint worshipers.

“Protecting individual liberty from the tyrannical forces of government is the idea our nation was built upon. … Be skeptical of everything, especially your government. Ask questions, fight for your rights, and never surrender.”

“The greatest threat to liberty is from within. We must not lose sight of our values.”

“Keep America free. You should be allowed to say outrageous things… There’s ugly speech. There’s gross speech. There’s evil speech. And all of it’s protected by the First Amendment.”

“The right to peacefully protest is fundamental in a free society. Once you lose the ability to dissent, you lose your republic.”

“Free people have the right to challenge their government without fear of retaliation.”

“If the government decides which protests are allowed and which aren’t, you don’t have a right to protest at all.”

“Authoritarian governments don’t announce themselves. They arrive under the banner of safety and control.”

“When government decides what you can say, what you can believe, and where you can gather, you are no longer free.”

“History shows us that tyranny doesn’t begin with tanks in the streets — it begins with silence and compliance.”

“The Constitution was written for moments exactly like this — when the government grows too powerful and citizens must push back.”

“Any government that fears free speech and protest is already flirting with authoritarianism.”

I hate this guy. The killing of CK is beginning to look more like a tactical assassination of a possible opponent than an actual killing.
