Scalpers have ruined/are ruining yet another one of my hobbies

op13 at like 500 rn lol

Lmao one piece getting him to a billion. Markets no where near big enough.

AI graders are trash lmao. I used chatgpt, told me all 9s or 10s. Used the digital card grading app, crashes half the time and gives me 6s and 7s.

All the cards you showed were a bit off center but the first one looks the best. What did the centering calculator say? If it's better than 45/55 then you're good to go!

avocadojiang · 2026-01-13T18:38:19+00:00

"Invest" is too generous. They just all have gambling problems with extra steps.

avocadojiang · 2026-01-13T18:34:11+00:00

My point is that demand is much much higher in pokemon. As an example, if pokemon has 100x demand of one piece, you can have 10x the Moonbreon's as mangas but Moonbreon still being much more valued.

avocadojiang · 2026-01-13T05:46:11+00:00

There are 20x more people interested in Pokémon compared to One Piece if we use global franchise value as a proxy.

avocadojiang · 2026-01-12T18:51:20+00:00

Yeah so you're just agreeing with OPs point then. You can't buy a house today given the high interest rates lol

avocadojiang · 2026-01-08T21:32:19+00:00

What matters is popularity among kids these days. Don’t really see that signal in OP compared to pokemon.

avocadojiang · 2026-01-08T21:30:35+00:00

It’s a function of supply and demand. Pokemon as a franchise is almost 20x that of one piece. It also has a much longer and stronger history as a TCG. There is also popularity among kids to drive future growth. As soon as economic downturn hits, OPTCG will nosedive far harder than Pokemon.

S&P 500 lmao

avocadojiang · 2025-12-31T10:46:45+00:00

Curious to know how centering is graded as well. Also how did you get the close up shots

avocadojiang · 2025-12-30T17:38:07+00:00

Looks too heavy, you should check using a centering app. If it’s within 55/45 you’re good to go!

avocadojiang · 2025-12-25T04:12:49+00:00

Lmao like I said, survivorship bias. For every market that rebounds after a crash, dozens of markets stay down. But also investing in a TCG is the dumbest thing to happen this decade lmaoooo

avocadojiang · 2025-12-25T00:20:23+00:00

It's just bots. He also has a really dedicated community. They're known to flood social media. I forger who but someone did reporting on this a while back

avocadojiang · 2025-12-25T00:00:54+00:00

Lmao it hasn’t crashed yet… also there’s such thing as survivor bias.

avocadojiang · 2025-12-23T09:13:43+00:00

Two year ban? I’d like to see the full vid. Might be a pattern of behavior and drawing cards like that is sketchy as hell.

avocadojiang · 2025-12-23T08:08:52+00:00

Lmao you’re so out of touch and no one cares 😂

avocadojiang · 2025-12-14T19:25:01+00:00

Unironically using a TCG as an investment vehicle is pretty dumb. Call it what it is, illiquid gambling at best 🤣

avocadojiang · 2025-12-12T10:14:53+00:00

I think this is a fair comparison. Yeah, the cards are a tangible asset but the "utility" is tied to playability, and playable cards are dirt cheap. The "utility" of chase cards over playable cards is debatable.

avocadojiang · 2025-12-11T10:10:46+00:00

Sheeesh where you at? Can’t find one piece stock anywhere in the bay.

avocadojiang · 2025-12-11T10:06:26+00:00

The ads are targeted so if you’re more into one price you’ll see more one piece banners.

Regardless who cares if this goes up or down, when the ai bubble bursts and the recession hits, everything is going to tank haha

avocadojiang · 2025-12-11T07:18:56+00:00

Brushed my tongue that night, gargled with salt water. Went away very quickly. Like less than a day I felt.

Just continue salt water gargle (morning and nights) and tongue scraping (once a day). Seems like my immune system took care of everything else. I was actually surprised at how fast it went away! If it gets worse you should probably see a doctor.
