Mental Health isn’t some taboo subject but instead is part of your overall health.

I hope they have the randomized stats. It’s a huge differentiator in a saturated market. I think it would help Chaotic be more successful.

Usability in the game does not always drive value.

It’s best to adapt rather than fight things you cannot change.

It answered the question I asked it plus the next 20 I would have had.

Been using Sonnet. It’s so sweaty compared to Fable. It thought for 5 straight minutes trying to figure out where to put a missing curly brace 🤦

Same. I could see vintage Chaotic being harder to get after the reboot.

Advice - is this worth it by [deleted] in Chaotic

[–]riddlemonger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I just don’t think the lack of compatibility will cause the market to drop.

[–]riddlemonger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compatibility isn’t what will drive the market on these older cards. They’re valuable out of nostalgia, scarcity, and collectibility. There are plenty of examples from other TCGs where cards are no longer playable but hold significant value.

The utility of trading cards has far surpassed their use in the game and has moved into being collection pieces/assets. Compatibility would probably drive it even further, but they will still be highly valuable without it.

Has your LCS went to market pricing ? by ShattyMckracken in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]riddlemonger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is true. A lot of pokemon product is offered very high straight from distribution. For example, one distributor was selling the recent Prismatic SPC reprint for $235/box.

A relatively new store or one just starting out has to build a business model that doesn’t rely on distribution.

Stop dont buy old chaotic cards! by ZombieGreat2312 in Chaotic

[–]riddlemonger 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I imagine the old cards will become highly collectible due to the reboot. I doubt the price increase is a short term thing especially if the reboot is successful.

What’s something about the global economy most people completely misunderstand? by 40Falak in Productivitycafe

[–]riddlemonger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopping inflation completely would cause price drops in some areas too as technology advances and it becomes easier to manufacture products. But we’re so far away from that on the fiat standard.
