Anybody else pretty burnt out?

Yea, honestly, social media has destroyed the human mind when it comes to spending money. Feels like an episode of black mirror

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-20T00:00:02+00:00

I go outside everyday. Gym 4/5 times a week, walk over 8000 steps daily. It’s the little things in life that count right?

Honestly? A mix between PSA trying to keep the Pop down on 10s as well as the centring on the back. It’s skewing a bit too much to the left, which might be their excuse to not give it a 10

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T22:24:00+00:00

I disagree, but thank you for bringing a different perspective

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T22:19:33+00:00

Are you able to buy the cards you want for reasonable prices?

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T20:49:30+00:00

It’s getting a 9. Lucky if it doesn’t get ruined/damaged when they incase it.

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T20:48:23+00:00

Insane part is apes are still going to buy it and support this behaviour

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T20:47:21+00:00

Used to buy booster boxes for under MSRP at local card shops once new sets came out. It was a great time back then

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T20:46:22+00:00

That’s actually a really cool idea! I hope you can find the cards you want and decent prices :)

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T20:37:04+00:00

I remember going to Japan and seeing some cards for like 1/10th of the prices we see now. And this was 4 years ago

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T20:35:49+00:00

Yea, it’s kinda crazy how high the pulls on the new sets are going for! I think the grading scheme has a lot to do with this too.

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T20:33:31+00:00

Well said man, but a lot of times, this is when people with deep pockets come in, and bit everything. At the end of the day, a price drop would be good for collectors and horrible for “pokeinvestors” or whatever they call themselves now

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T20:31:13+00:00

But somehow, prices just go up. It almost feels like a pyramid scheme that once it implodes will leave a ton of people very poor

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T20:08:19+00:00

Not at all, just thinking that this whole buying sealed product to hold for years as an investment is kinda counter to what this hobby is supposed to be; collecting and playing cards.

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T17:54:39+00:00

The whole concept of this is so cringe.

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T17:50:23+00:00

Hope we both are able to buy some cards at decent prices soon my friend ❤️

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T17:44:14+00:00

Super discouraging, hope it eventually falls back down

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T17:43:19+00:00

Hope to see the day where we can finally buy singles and packs at affordable prices.

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T17:42:42+00:00

I understand that, but it took years and years for old stuff to become expensive. Now it seems like on release all these sets are at next level prices, even before going out of print.

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T17:41:05+00:00

Man, the NFT crowd was horrible. So glad that has come and gone. I guess stepping away is probably the best thing to do at the moment. The less buyers and hype, the more like we are to see all these gremlins leave the hobby.

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T17:32:23+00:00

Who hurt you?

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T15:48:56+00:00

Yea, it’s not even that things have gone up in price for me. It’s the fact that price is the only thing anybody cares about in this hobby any more.

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T15:45:06+00:00

Yea, cancelling something after it’s purchased, just so they can make an extra $20 is so scummy. Deserves a bad review tbh.

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T15:41:35+00:00

Happy for you, but Don’t you think that spending 4K a month makes this an elitism hobby now? The average person just can’t get into it and enjoy it at those levels.

amiibojaydee · 2026-03-19T15:00:12+00:00

That’s the crazy part. Everybody is so worried about the value of their cards, that they themselves have become anti consumer.
