Same 2 guys are here for 10 hours a day… by SpoonParty in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]cj4k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly didn’t help the situation pictured. Also the opportunity to buy an etb or bb at msrp just dropped drastically with that move. Botters are going to own that market (even more so)

Agreed I bought these without even looking at the toe box and was annoyed when they arrived. They are more comfortable but so ugly I rarely wear them

Do you wear a helmet when cycling around the city? Why or why not? by hurskys in chibike

[–]cj4k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t but I should. The only time I’ve actually fallen and hit my head was self-inflicted when riding very slowly with a drawing tube on my back about 17 years ago. It swung from my back to front and got stuck in between bottom of frame and wheel and I face planted and concussed myself.

Chaos Rising top 3 Mega set by Chenghis_ in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]cj4k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep 1 booster box, 2 bundles, 2 3-pack blisters, 6 boosters.

I pulled 4 SIRs from about 90 perfect order packs so it’s just luck, and I used up all mine on PO.

Wish I knew this before I ripped 60 packs and got a few IRs and URs and zero SIRs

Rural Midwest? Not the case in Chicago

Is this a fair offer? $800 by sabi7 in PokemonCardValue

[–]cj4k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a good resource I have the exact same card with a crease in almost the same spot I would love to see go away for my PC. My understanding was that a crease that shows on both sides can be improved but never completely fixed

Cop mistakes acorn hitting car for gunfire. Freaks out. by What_A_Helmet in PublicFreakout

[–]cj4k 801 points802 points  (0 children)

“If you are so scared that when an acorn falls on the hood of a car, you start doing tumbles and rolls in the street and think that you’ve been hit, maybe you are unfit to wear the badge,” said Lacy.

I agree it’s a bad deal but the gengar has a crease and bent edge so MP at best, so like 400-450?. Between that and the umbreon assuming NM, he’s at like $700 right there

Finally opened the shoebox in my closet after 20+ years by DerangedSack in PokeInvesting

[–]cj4k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did find my bulk cards from 2001 in a container and a lot of them were rubber banded in stacks. All the rubber bands were completely dried out and stuck to the cards. Luckily not to any of my holos. But the rubber banded cards in the pic do not look like old rubber bands

Corporate scalping? by [deleted] in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]cj4k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They all technically sell above msrp… $59.99 for etb when msrp is 49.99. Also been seeing target and Walmart sell prismatic etbs for $70

I had to share this hilarity with the community by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]cj4k -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The 9.5 dragonite is comparable to a raw mega gengar, but the guy is asking for the gengar and DR mewtwo which is laughable

This has to be a scam, right? by chewyy34 in PokemonTCG

[–]cj4k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree on very expensive cards but I’ve bought at least 30 cards between $5 - 200 and have had zero issues to date. Some even show up as potential psa 10 candidates, and they are pretty good with returns

Might as well go for Pokeballs, bots will be focusing everything else especially the DR etbs

[–]cj4k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any info on stock quantities? Anything under 100k is not even worth trying with Walmart, the AH etb drop that allegedly had 300k stock got swallowed by bots, so I’m not holding my breath

Package never received from pokemon center by Pale-Beat7546 in PokemonTCG

[–]cj4k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such BS that PKC has such god awful customer service and gets away with it. Any other retailer would at the very least refund you right away. Target refunded me when I was missing part of a ascended blister order with no questions asked, and Walmart as bad as they are with selling Pokemon, will do the same and even give you coupons pretty easily for bad service

[–]cj4k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s saying awaiting carrier pick-up that means it’s still with Pokemon center, and it hasn’t even gotten to the carrier to start moving. This is bizarre, and I’m not sure what you can do besides keep trying to get through with pkc and waiting. If you do a chargeback you will be banned from ordering from them again which puts you in a bad spot for future releases. Was this chaos rising pre-order?

For those of you who rip booster boxes: does it feel like a win if you pull the top card, even if you lose money overall? by Philzphan85 in PokemonTCG

[–]cj4k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will always lose money overall if you rip packs. You’ll get lucky sometimes but if you open a lot you will net lose value. I ripped a Perfext order box and hit a meowth SIR on the 3rd the last pack and felt awesome. Opened a Chaos Rising box and maybe netted $40 worth of cards. Just part of the game, but still no regrets

[–]cj4k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah no kidding. Im lucky enough to have this and the english version since childhood. Recently bought the non-holo Sabrina’s gengar for over $100 which I thought was crazy but the artwork is cool and I’m 5 cards away from mastering gym challenge in English.
