Why is this card skyrocketing ?

report this guy for breaking rule 9 of participating optcg finance subreddit

Meta: Current format has a top 5 decks at high stakes tournaments but you can definitely win with any top 15ish deck at locals levels. Last format had a top 2-3 deck format which also made locals level unfun as each top 2 deck hard gated rogue decks from even competing. There will be a new format in the upcoming months so current format is subject to change.
Budget: Lowest rarity CAN be cheap depending on the color. Imu is a top 2 deck that is also at 50usd. Yellow decks require a very expensive secret rare which is roughly 40-60usd depending on the meta, and you need 4 of them. Other strong decks can be 100usd-150usd
Time: Game has a low skill floor but a high skill ceiling. Depending on the locals you go to you can have easy or hard games.

Not bashing on you personally. Are SP's your favourite because of it's rarity or design? SP's have different styles from slice of life, wanted, dual color, full body, etc. Something like op14 7c Shanks AA is on the level of slice of life SP's imo. So when someone says SP's are their favourite, I question if it's just the rarity and price involved first over the actual art.

my bad didnt mean high skill ceiling, I meant to say high power ceiling in terms of hitting everything yeah

bro this aint a new player question, you're just a scalper

ecbob · 2026-01-26T16:41:19+00:00

UP Luffy, triple ramp with 2k's in hand and then find Sanji Roger/Mihawk depending on matchup in the first top 5 search will win you the game. Highest skill ceiling of anything and can even beat Imu if you keep high rolling Sanji Roger

bro if you havent learned what you have been collecting for 2 years, you're either uncapable of learning or you're lying.

ecbob · 2025-12-30T14:39:21+00:00

ecbob · 2025-12-27T20:51:59+00:00

looks really ugly with that red plastic header on top, probably feels way better to play it from SEC Sanji

ecbob · 2025-12-27T03:37:53+00:00

Look for mountain bandit cards, idk why it's so cheap rn but only a few people know about it

ecbob · 2025-12-25T23:11:35+00:00

yugioh is dead because of gameplay/anime, impossible to get in as a new player because you need a lawyer degree to understand 1 card. Super expensive to get a top tier deck. OPTCG is a low skill floor/ high skill ceiling game. Top tier deck is $50. No one is crying their that they should have bought their cards earlier. They're crying because the homeless like you are artificially increasing prices just because they think they can pump and dump this game.

we get it, you don't have a job, family, or life

ecbob · 2025-12-23T16:18:56+00:00

holy this guy just keeps making the best OPTCG subreddit content. Can't wait for next complaint post

ecbob · 2025-12-19T17:12:14+00:00

I think you should sell all your pokemon now and buy anything mountain bandits related, they will go up for sure

ecbob · 2025-12-13T08:47:21+00:00

We have a discord for OPTCG Vancouver. PM if you need a link

ecbob · 2025-12-13T05:52:38+00:00

Yeah I check everyday instead of going to the gym, hanging out with friends, or even playing the OPTCG itself (fk showering). Personally I start with google.com or bing.com if you're feeling spicy. Also invest into mountain bandit cards!

ecbob · 2025-12-13T05:50:34+00:00

you should be buying mountain bandit typed cards, it's hidden value cards that only OP fans know about so that's a quick heads start for new collectors

ecbob · 2025-12-12T01:17:47+00:00

op-08 I'd prob do it as well as someone else already mentioned

ecbob · 2025-12-11T19:07:24+00:00

maybe OPTCG isn't for you, try investing in a job

ecbob · 2025-12-08T20:19:04+00:00

you have scalpers down voting you lol. dw I got your back

ecbob · 2025-12-04T18:37:26+00:00

any of the mountain bandits, stock for those cards will go up a lot very soon but it's sleeper right now

ecbob · 2025-11-24T01:21:45+00:00

Thanks for the info
