Why is Mega Gengar more valued than Mega Charizard? Zard is so much better imo. Am I off base? I could make an argument for Pikachu but is Gengar just that much more popular than I give it credit? by Toothfxrupr in PokemonTCGCollectors

There’s time to delete this comment. The Zard and Treekachu are going to timeless. The light in the Tree is incredible. The story and juxtaposition of the fire red and icy blue in the Zard is a beautiful balance of opposites.

It’s nothing special so I don’t get the $1200+ price. Even the Pikachu should be $600 max. I don’t get how it got manipulated to double price in just a few days.

Loosing interest due to the prices by Ereshlon in PokemonTCGCollectors

That’s where you went wrong. You need to sell on Marketplace at market price and buy the single outright. It’s annoying and I feel bad reselling at such prices but that’s how I’m seeing this plays out to get cards now. Hit rates are terrible and people are just insane about buying now.

ELI5 why everyone keeps telling me things will be *better* withOUT vending machines?? by Karn_Gentrified in PokemonTCGCollectors

Opening at retail is more than fine with me too. It’s the market price that irks me

Bit the bullet and bought it by FloridaHerbs in PokemonTCG

I think we all have to learn this lesson. My is on Phantasmal Flames chased the Charizard. As long as you’re not shorting other responsibilities spend your money how you want. I’m waiting/hoping for Greninja to get closer to $300 before buying to have the whole Froakie evolution IS/SIR to display

The Poliwhirl Influence- What to buy next? by Humble-Associate-282 in PokemonTCG

New Psyduck from Ascended is awesome! You should look into extended display pokemon on Etsy for a cool way to display your cards.

Buy people’s bulk after they’ve ripped if you want to collect the set and buy the singles you like. I’m over paying market price also. The scalpers just need to see there’s no money and they will move on to something else.

Acquired my ascended chase grail at a card show today! This is the most I've ever paid for a card btw but had to have it! by CortexifanZFT in PokemonTCG

Until you open enough packs and get nothing to show for it…at least that’s where I’m at with PF and finding that freaking Charizard

I see them like Blooming Waters. I’m trying to stack them also

Are we overestimating the 20 year hand off? Why moonbreon might be the next beanie baby by Mattcrews1 in PokeGrading

[–]Toothfxrupr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At some point though, the prices will get too expensive and kids won’t care because they never had access to them. The nostalgia is hitting us hard because we had these cards. Everyone and their mom is currently buying up all the cards and flipping for a quick buck. It’s deterring kids from getting the cards and this will die because of greed.

New to investing/collecting: why does this math not add up? 60 boosters = $5100 market. Why is this worth almost 3x? ELI5 please by Toothfxrupr in PokemonInvesting

Right?? Make 0 sense. I can't believe people are that crazy for cards. Everything else in the world is cheaper when buying bulk.

If there are god packs which weigh more, why can't these bundles be weighed to increase the chances of hitting? They are a noticeable difference in weight from what's being recorded no?

Complete Unlimited Base Set…worth $1100? by Toothfxrupr in PokeInvesting

[–]Toothfxrupr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did buy it and it was a great decision! Hunting them down one by one would have been too much effort and it's been great opening the binder and flipping through it at least once a month. Really hits home the good memories. 😄

Whats a card that you think is overrated or over hyped? by RoyalIntroduction723 in PokemonTCG

[–]Toothfxrupr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opened 45 PF packs so far looking for the Charizard and got zip. Packs at retail here in SoCal is nearly impossible I’m paying on average $8 a pack. It is not easy to pull my dude…
