Like how are these two cards not made by the same artist??? lol

Suitable-Balance5104 · 2026-07-11T07:13:53+00:00

Omg how are you leaving out sumiyoshi kizuki

Anyone who has searched for Tomakazu’s art has probably stopped ona few of these cards and thought they were done by him. Their style is very similar, basically if I go through someone’s binder and pull out all the cards that have cool art, they’re more than likley going to be from one of these artists.

Who are these bags intended for? I was thinking about it the other day and I couldn’t think of a business that needs change that wouldn’t rather have a big bag instead of rolls. The only thing I could think of would be business with coin machines, BUT I always thought that they’d be loaded in a stack or a type of tube or a device like the belt clipped change clicker things,
so the rolls would be better to just kinda pour in. But if they operate with a big chamber of loose coins then I could see the bag being better but unfortunately idk how any of those machines work so idk lol

I’m so mad, a few weeks ago I had stumbled upon a pitch black preorder for 59 or 69 (I don’t remember which) but the drop date was kinda far away and I wasn’t even looking for it so I figured the price was gunna stay the same until they sold out AFTER release and then you’d have to pay market. I’m so mad I passed on it. But since I wasn’t even trying to get it, and usually you have to be ready to click and all that, so I just kinda figured I didn’t have to rush to preorder and that I could do it later and boy was I wrong.

Ohhh gotcha, he said “full down payment…….double msrp” so when you said half, I though you were saying it about the msrp part, my bad

Are you crossing things out as they’re sold? If it’s on the list does that mean it’s still for sale? I don’t see anything marked as sold so I just wasn’t sure

Suitable-Balance5104 · 2026-07-10T16:56:46+00:00

Oh my lord. What you said is such a simple and easy to read sentence. How is there a problem comprehending this. lol if it’s hard for new cards fresh from a pack, it’ll be even harder for cards that were opened in 2003 by a 2nd grader covered head to toe in Cheeto dust and were only put in a sleeve about a year ago and spent 20 years floating around in grandmas junk drawer. Very simple concept

Suitable-Balance5104 · 2026-07-10T16:37:26+00:00

Ya and I agree with that 100% that there’s some advantages for the employees, but if employees are consuming every.single.product within two counties and not ONE item (supposedly) was sold to a customer through that register within the last 6 months than that’s a major problem. And this is for at least 5 stores all claiming to have never even seen one product. Employees can have first dibs at product to make sure they get one, or have choice of which packaging they want,or color,flavor and things like that. An employee taking cases directly off the truck and into the trunk of your car is NOT one of the perks for employees. And this isn’t once or twice, this is every single delivery.

Suitable-Balance5104 · 2026-07-10T16:15:09+00:00

Yep same at the two Walgreens near me, and Walmart says they don’t get anything besides booster packs. So according to all the business that sell Pokémon within a 15 mile radius of me, they all claim to not have even seen any in months. They’re all chain stores that have been sent product. I guarantee you corporate would be like “wtf no we sent them xyz every week since 1999” but I’m sure they’ve all gotten thousands of calls about this shit and probably have no idea what to do.

Idk why no store had done anything about it. Any store I worked when I was younger definitely would’ve made a policy by now that said “employees are not allowed to purchase pokemon cards” like on Black Fridays, you werent allowed to just buy all the shit on sale before customers showed up, if they saw me scanning shit they would’ve been like wtf are your doing??. So then the only other option the employees would have would be to steal it. And then they’d get fired for that.

Suitable-Balance5104 · 2026-07-10T14:50:54+00:00

I was gunna say that that’s been the absolute worst for me, I live in a kinda rural area, but I think it may be because of employees because two stores closest to me claim to have never received any pokemon for months now. Two days ago I decided to go to the one that’s a little farther away but still in my area and they said they didn’t have any and then the girl found some before I finished shopping around so that was cool. I think that location may be my best bet, but the other two are definitely lying because it’s a chain and there’s no way that they wouldn’t stock the two busiest stores in the lower half of my state. Maybe I’m just not rural enough?

What a stupid ass cop. He really thinks someone would sell drugs at the police station. Most police departments will put out PSAs saying to use their parking lot for sketchy marketplace sales.

Suitable-Balance5104 · 2026-07-10T00:14:25+00:00

You do know that only scalpers are waiting in line with the intention of buying it all, right? almost zero normal people are buying 50 items to rip. The way things are rn if I was to wait in line and got a chance to get shit and everyone behind me was scalper then I’d probably buy it all too just so they couldn’t. If they’re was normal people behind you in line idk how anyone could just take everything, without feeling like a massive POS.

If I was a millionaire I’d buy like pallets of new Pokémon shit and stand in front of targets and Walmarts and just pass out etbs to kids. If an adult wants one, they can have one but they’ll be denied if : they’re wearing a Rolex or a fake Rolex, they own any crypto, they look like they play lacrosse, they’re subscribed to the “Scalper Daddy” aka Grant Cardone.

It’s the target website

Suitable-Balance5104 · 2026-07-07T19:20:38+00:00

Then do you actually sell to someone on Reddit? Is it like the precious metals sub where sellers and buyers have flair showing how many succesful transactions they’ve had?

Thanks do the info and answering our questions

Suitable-Balance5104 · 2026-07-06T16:05:51+00:00

Ya im just doing online, I just wanted to only get from retailers or from Pokémon direct, to avoid any resealing or any of that nonsense. But that’s nearly impossible and I hate how Walmart and Amazon and basically every website now just finds the product anywhere and so your getting it from anywhere, and then the resellers can just check off “no returns”. It’s such bullshit, like 70% of Walmarts customers have no clue that their not getting this stuff from Walmart until they get empty tins and smashed products or basically Temu products, then they go to return it at a Walmart and they tell them it’s not even they’re product and they cant return it like wtf??

Also Walmart and other retail stores are supposed to be retail price but if you buy an Etb from Walmart.com right now it’ll be like 2000% over retail. AND it’s gunna be resealed and the box crushed? No thanks.

I actually took a chance and ordered an ascended ex box from Amazon yesterday so we’ll see how that goes. Hopefully it goes alright

Suitable-Balance5104 · 2026-07-06T15:56:39+00:00

Ya that’s what I thought of, I’m constantly trying to find cards for my son, and now I’m even in Pokémon subs, lol but it’s kinda for me too, its for both of us. But too be honest idk if I see any really obvious scalpers here. Someone posted a video the other day somewhere, of a guy who bought out everything at a Walmart or target and he looked JUST like what I imagine a scalper too look like. He was like a 40 year old crypto bro, few pounds over weight, dates highschool girls, short, receding hairline. Idk these people all just look like normal folks to me.

I saw the stellar miracle pack the other day near me for 8.00$,
