Flauros 05/22/21 11:08:20 AM #18:	Cobra1010 posted... Can someone explain whats being scalped here? Is there like a new set of pokemon cards thats released today? From what i have seen, all those pokemon sets that are being released are being bought up and resold by scalpers. Pokemon cards are hot again so they will get their hands on any set they can (other TCGs as well, but pokemon is the big one). McDonalds had a happy meal promo with pokemon cards, and these fucks were going in and buying up all the cards (MDs gives you the option to buy just the toy. it got so bad that many of them removed that option and forced them to buy the entire meal to get the cards. They still went for it). Just check facebook market place for pokemon cards. You will see people with a huge stack of box sets and tins for sale for 100+ a piece. --- https://imgur.com/EX6Md7k https://imgur.com/nhHkg9L https://imgur.com/A3kur0P https://imgur.com/Hj9RrC6 <cite>Flauros posted [p:954181006] in Pokemon sc...

archedsoul 05/22/21 1:48:10 PM #30:	It's kind of a free for all on all TCG, which is when you know the bubble is getting close to popping. The thing is that they're not selling as well as people think. Out here, everything is flooded now and nobody is buying basic ass boosters and shit for scalped prices. Everything went from big box retailers for, let's say $4 a booster, to third party motherfuckers selling it for $6-$8. Pokemon is back, but it's not like 1999, which is what all these idiots are banking on. --- "Fear cuts deeper than swords." <cite>archedsoul posted [p:954184915] in Pokemon sc...
