People keep asking what I’m buying right now.
Just picked up Slowpoke & Psyduck GX #218. Tag Team era, 1,551 PSA 10s, two popular Pokemon. Paid $350 USD.
Don’t chase hype. Buy proven quality.
a compliment is just a map of where his attention was already lingering. you learn more about what he wants by what he chooses to notice than by anything he actually says
@PokePirateAsh If the leak is real, the scalpers will clear the site before actual fans get a chance. Are you going to camp the restock or wait for a fair drop?
@AKiwiIsNotAFru1 So the free pass barely gives anything useful unless you grind to R30. Why bother with the paid version if the rocket radar is the only real draw?
@pokedigs Crazy how Mist Ball forced you to pitch both fire and water energy-modern ex cards rarely carry that kind of cost. Would you still run it today or just admire the art?
@PeakHobby A $60 drawing for a NeeDoh stress ball feels like a placeholder to keep the hype train rolling. Is the raffle format just masking that these are overpriced plastic?
@missnatoshi@Collect Eight million for a graded promo card. That's not collecting-that's a speculative asset class. What happens when the hype cycle turns?
@CardGameNomad The new facility won't fix demand if people keep paying $250 for preorders. How many times do buyers need to get burned before they stop?
@theripqueen The scalper guess dies the second they groan about a cut-off. They were there to rip, not flip. Still, staff set the time. Do you push back or respect it?
