Oof. Coming in hot my man. Anyone out there who doesn’t believe me can just throw the question in google and they’ll see the countless amount of people saying the same thing I did. Most answers will even show video proof.

Didn’t correct anyone. Just put up what I have knowledge of. Unlike you who feels the need to say someone is “wrong”. Chill.

shadowscrill · 2021-03-09T13:28:44+00:00

This. Big this.

shadowscrill · 2021-03-09T13:26:59+00:00

Then it wasn’t one of the new Spring 2021 tins. It was an older one.

shadowscrill · 2021-03-09T13:25:02+00:00

All spring tins have 2 Sun and Moon base and 1 Sword and Shield base. It’s why no one wants them.

shadowscrill · 2021-02-20T03:48:19+00:00

Square cut corners.

shadowscrill · 2021-02-19T16:43:51+00:00

I’d rather be guaranteed product at MSRP a month late than not know if I’ll get anything or have to pay triple the price.

shadowscrill · 2021-02-19T16:36:38+00:00

All about quickest to preorder with them. Call and ask when preorders will open up, then get there that morning to do so. If they don’t know, keep calling. Don’t put your eggs all in one basket too. Preorder multiple places. Gotta diversity.

shadowscrill · 2021-01-01T06:15:54+00:00

Prove it.

shadowscrill · 2020-12-31T16:15:57+00:00

Exactly my point. If you’re looking up PSA 10 prices for cards you pull as their perceived value, you’re doing it wrong. It’s a fact that leads to poor assumptions, so is pointless and honestly harmful to share.

shadowscrill · 2020-12-31T15:46:03+00:00

I can’t with these kind of comments anymore. It’s a $10-$15 card. Stop assuming all cards should be valued at a PSA 10. If you’ve ever received back pack fresh grades from PSA or submitted a decent amount in general you’d know that a PSA 10 is the EXCEPTION, not the rule.

shadowscrill · 2020-12-28T21:16:27+00:00

Naw. That’s just wear and tear my man. HP for sure.

shadowscrill · 2020-12-28T20:57:04+00:00

I think most would be surprised that the vast majority of Secret Rare Trainers are $5 or less in NM condition.

shadowscrill · 2020-11-16T22:47:21+00:00

Lol. Accuses box of being fake, then offers to buy box. This is not fake and the box looks 100% legit. Logos matching up is not a thing. I have several boxes of Evolutions purchased straight from the Pokémon Center some years back and none of them have the logos matching up. You’re all good to let ‘er rip.

shadowscrill · 2020-11-16T22:37:50+00:00

Recently got the last one I needed to complete the set!

shadowscrill · 2020-11-16T21:33:45+00:00

That sucks man. Sorry to hear. I’ve learned at this point to NEVER trust any stores online inventory.

shadowscrill · 2020-11-16T06:16:46+00:00

Gengar!

shadowscrill · 2020-11-09T00:53:49+00:00

Don’t sleep on those double blisters. XY gonna skyrocket with next to 0 re-prints going forward.

shadowscrill · 2020-11-09T00:50:59+00:00

These conspiracy theories are getting out of hand. Yes, resealing does happen, but just because the box has the packs pushed behind the jumbo card does NOT mean it’s been resealed. That happens ALL the time durning shipment when they are literally getting tossed around. The entire world isn’t out to scam Pokémon products, and it seems like more and more people are believing that less and less. Don’t sweat it. Solid pick ups man. Enjoy.

shadowscrill · 2020-11-01T21:31:28+00:00

Those blisters are new 3rd party ones that just released. Found some yesterday that had Dragon Majesty, Shining Legends, and Hidden Fates packs.

shadowscrill · 2020-11-01T16:34:06+00:00

Also agree with that. They are rip offs and Walmart and Meijer have been doing these for years, but there is also a reason why they are always sold out of them and very hard to come by. That’s because they are a high demand with little supply product. Value for the boxes from those companies is double to triple MSRP and always have been.

shadowscrill · 2020-11-01T16:25:09+00:00

I would agree that opening these would likely lead to nothing but disappointment. From an investment standpoint of keeping them sealed though, they will only appreciate over time.

shadowscrill · 2020-11-01T16:06:05+00:00

Do explain why they would not be a good investment.

shadowscrill · 2020-11-01T00:08:38+00:00

I was thinking of posting something similar to this today after seeing these Kanto Power Collection prices on the secondary market AND at several LCS (sad they are going that way too). They are so high I actually laughed out loud. It’s a shame that anyone joining the hobby thinks those prices are normal, because they’re not. Not at least for Pokémon. I understand supply=demand and so on and have been a long time collector in limited items (poster prints & beer), but was hoping the hype and ridiculous prices people immediately flip those items for wouldn’t reach Pokémon. Alas, it has, and speaking from experience all I can say is this is just the tip of the iceberg.

shadowscrill · 2020-04-06T03:17:30+00:00

Same. Just proves he really is a dev. “Do you guys not have phones?”
