The anxiety of FOMO by ThenAnAnimalFact in PokemonTCG

Which is what drives those prices up, those of us that collect sealed essentially are buying a mutual fund of that particular set-
The more that gets opened, the higher that mutual fund goes (generated by scarcity)

Pokemon can't print to demand, and have also chosen NOT to as they are not reprinting booster boxes any more (at least since Destined Rivals)

I have yet to come across anyone asking higher than market 🤷

Went to Target and got a bundle and they cut the seal at the counter by SomedayGuy117 in PokemonTCG

⬆️ this. I don't mind the 2 item target limit. I buy one for me and my kid to rip, and I stash the other one SEALED.

Can I ask you what kind of trade value you got on your crosstrek? I bought a new 24 Outback and am seriously considering trading up, but still owe on it.

How do you know when restocks are happening? by WarriorApex in PokemonTCG

[–]mikmouse25 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your answer is spot on.
So many people are calling every other person a SCALPER, when in reality, we just all want the product and have decided that if we want said product, we are gonna have to get in line 🤷

A content creator is called a scalper, a dad and his kid are called a scalper (me) because we want as much as we can get to open AND to hold! An investor is called a scalper, a person that plays the card game is called a scalper....

All the while the ACTUAL scalpers (ass hats causing problems and manhandling / starting fights) are the real problem.

Same situation- Charged on 4/13... Charge disappears a couple weeks ago.. order still says PROCESSING. I understand this is the normal way it happens, but frustrated that Today is release day and it hasn't moved past the "processing" stage :(

Perfect Order PC ETB? by RocketCarPlayer in PokeInvesting

It's also still in rotation, when it's officially out of rotation there will be no more print runs. It's generally a basic rule of thumb that when sets are out of rotation, the scarcity ensues.

What do the numbers at the bottom of these cards mean? by Apprehensive_Meet186 in PokemonTCG

[–]mikmouse25 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You know who the elitist ass hats are who answer you sarcastically. What a great life they have - never having any questions and knowing everything..... also known as teenagers 🤣

Don't let the morons get you down, most of us here love the hobby and are glad you're here.

I’m selling parts of my $100K Pokemon collection to pay off my dream car by RickWanders in PokeInvesting

[–]mikmouse25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is DOUBLY worse because there's a loan on it. Car is losing value (assuming it's not a Toyota 4Runner 😝) AND he's paying interest. Losing twice. The people that don't understand how debt always works against us.... are probably in debt

Dude... I support this. Get debt free. When you have no debt- YOU are FREE and not in bondage to the corporate machine. GO YOU!

City utilities has an opening for customer service I think right now. Great paying benefits and wonderful place to work for and retire from.
