@THEPOKEPLATEAU@PokeTeeJay@WolfmanKnows brother please read above lol. You can’t guarantee PSA 10s. Overpricing on speculative is one of many things wrong in the hobby. Even if it’s a “mint” raw, it sets a bad precedent going forward. NM is NM,M,GM until graded. IMO.
I think for the Pokemon market to go back to normal, everyone has to suffer.
I personally don’t think that Pokemon TCG should be profitable for anything sealed and in current print.
These scalpers are clearing stores on credit card debt KNOWING someone will buy.
Well, what if we didn’t buy it? What if, EVERYONE stopped paying these stupid ass prices and just bought what you found at retail. And then wait it out. Because I PROMISE YOU, if everyone gave it 2 months of not paying scalper prices, and these flippers are stuck with thousands in credit card debt, they will sell at retail and market values will plummet and become affordable again.
Unfortunately the only way the market will truly settle is when we do this. A retaliatory Pokemon economy. WE literally control the market because of what WE are willing to pay. And we are willing to pay retail.
@SeanThomas39@playoffcity You absolutely hit the nail on the head. That’s the difference. That’s what people are not understanding about Kobe’s “foul baiting”
@DdUnderestimxte Steph -$3
JB- $2
Kawhi- $3
Giannis -$5
Wemby- $2
You can replace Giannis with Joker, but I prefer more defensive versatility with this lineup.
Listen, everybody loves Chuck, but we’ve gotta be honest here.
ALL YEAR he’s said the Lakers stink. Not that they’re not the best team in the league. That they’re bad/irrelevant.
ALL YEAR he’s minimized anything they’ve done.
Then, they trade for Luka and NO ONE was more adamant that it wouldn’t work and that the Mavs were better off this year.
Now, that they’re 2nd in the West, and have been the best team in the league for the last 6 weeks, he says they’ve had a good “2 weeks” and we still shouldn’t talk about them.
It’s disingenuous bullshit from someone who doesn’t want to admit he’s been wrong about this team every step of the way and it’s OK to say that, despite the fact he’s the funniest/most beloved person in sports TV history.
