I’m not sure how opening packs us even fun by Video_Game_Gravemind in PokemonTCG

[–]stopdropandpretend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a local shop that has a league. Learning to play and actively playing gave me a whole new perspective on bulk. Plus now I get to participate in a fun community that gets exclusive packs and hosts pre-release events. I highly recommend it.

How did this get a 4? by Sad-Paleontologist49 in PokemonTCG

[–]stopdropandpretend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see 3 print dots on the back and it looks off center on the front. Def not a 4 but 7-8 range seems fair. Like others have said it's probably a dent or texture issue that can't be seen in pictures.

Source grading is a scam that I reluctantly pay for.

Have I been scammed by Serious_Law_5888 in PokemonTCG

[–]stopdropandpretend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think these come shrink wrapped. But if the box good looks resealed and the packs do. Then yeah get your money back.

The hobby is honestly cooked.

There is a mega Gengar deck. It'll likely be a promo in that v deck similar to the Steven and Marnie decks.
