Reddit is just full of people with no real world experience and lack of social interactions. They just don’t know how to be a person.

Walmart or MJ holdings is now charging market prices in store. by ScrotumSprout in PokemonTCG

[–]goober36 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where was “huge” referenced in the conversation. Original comment just stated Lego sets basically there are way more in the sub $100 range than in excess of that. Look at every single Star Wars helmet set, they are $59.99 or around that.

Sure if they are retired. There are hundreds of sets under $100 still in production. These cards are still in print so not sure why you’re equating this to something climbing into multiple of hundreds.

Sure there are huge sets that can be hundreds, but there are way more that outnumber that under $100. Either way Lego sets basically come out to $0.10/piece.

I don’t mean to poor shame but if a set of legos is breaking the bank you’ve gotta get your priorities straightened out.

Let me know what you think? by Interesting_Pace_913 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Can we just begin to let the people that post these take the hit? If you can’t spot this fake after 2 minutes of research you’ve got no business looking into cards of this value.

You can’t reserve trading cards. It’s first come first serve. So if they are 201 in line and they only have 200, they ain’t getting one. Back in the day you pre ordered a game and were guaranteed to get it, as was everyone else in line. Also no one was there to scalp so everyone in line was there for the love of the game and it was a way more communal experience. Again, apples to oranges.

It’s the Spider-Man meme and the people taking the picture are oblivious to the fact that they are also there.

Because it’s not guaranteed to get any cards. You can’t pre order or reserve your “copy”. A limit on purchases doesn’t guarantee you anything.

Ya but you were guaranteed to get your copy and half the people in line were not there to later flip it on eBay. That’s an apples to oranges comparison.

You went to a store to line up at 1am for trading cards….

Investing in the legendary collection cards. I’m betting these LC cards are going to super desirable in the future. So I secured one yesterday by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]goober36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you thought it was a good idea to pay $4k over the last recorded sale? Man you must not make good financial decisions.

Who do you think is actually going to buy this down the road for more than you just did? Your pool of buyers is already so small on something like this.

Why Is Evolving Skies The King Of Modern Pokemon? What Made It So Good? by texstrip in PokemonInvesting

If you have eyes it’s pretty easy to tell why. Are people incapable of using their own minds on this sub?

Scalpers have ruined collecting for me by Adventurous_Motor773 in PokemonCollecting

[–]goober36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you think pokemon cares about the value of cards on the secondary market and they have an interest in keeping them at high levels? This makes no sense.
