    The fact that pokemon actually released a half ass set with a couple pikachu chases and the market is doubled is everything you need to know about the hobby. The new eeveelution set is going to be too expensive for people with budgets. Good job Pokemon.

      And let’s be fair the amount of people that left the hobby after Covid should alone make any set affordable and plentiful to purchase but pokemon will manipulate the market as they always do

    I've recently become interested in Pokémon because of all the excitement around the art and characters. I've gone through my initial buying frenzy and now have realized that if you love the cards and the art just go to a show or online and buy the cards you like. Forget the expensive cards unless you’re loaded with cash. Pokémon Card Company is massively ripping off the public selling for the most part worthless cards for $5 a pack, 50 cents a card. There is 10 cents worth of cards in most packs. There is no reason why these cards could not be $1 to $2 a pack at most. I do love that all the You Tubers spend the money to reveal thousand of packs for us so we do not have to. The downside is that after watching the exciting reveals and fantastic pulls about all the normies can hope for is a Mr. Mime or a Dug Trio! Thanks for all you do.

    The hype and fomo is immeasurable. Staying as far away from the market as I can now since it's completely lost touch with reality, meaning when it crashes, it won't just crash 40-50% - it'll crash 95+%.

    • @ViloxRS
      @ViloxRS 2 месяца назад +1

      Are you talking about the pikachu? Because saying the pikachu will crash to less than $50 is crazy but thinking the booster box will crash to $10 a booster box is literally not possible.

      @@ViloxRShe is talking about the set in general, ETB, booster boxes. Etc. A week out the booster box is more expensive than twilight masquerade, almost as expensive as fusion strike and lost origin and as expensive as some sun and moon sets.
      Crazy price manipulation over 1 card.
      Given that card is iconic but its not that more iconic to the point where the booster box a week out should be pushing 200+

      People said that with S&S alt art cards and those things are bouncing back up hard. With many of them never even coming close to filling the gap down. I would agree with you but times have changed so much it is hard to tell. The Meme stocks have changed the landscape of investors. People are moving large positions from the stock market into this unregulated hobby. Why risk Tesla with the short sellers and market manipulators (not makers), when you can just buy a bunch of cardboard at a low price and have emotional people chasing after it as you manipulate it yourself? Financial scams and market influencers shift with the world and latch onto anything that will make them a quick buck. ESPECIALLY when it is unregulated and can be used to take advantage of others. They have ruined sport card collecting for 90% of enthusiast, so them ruining Pokemon will come as no surprise to me.

    • @silviodanteog
      @silviodanteog 2 месяца назад

      Yeah the hit rates are horrible on this set dude people are opening like 80 packs and not drawing any profit. It’s almost smarter to take a gamble and buy the pikachu chase card raw and pray the market for surging sparks doesn’t fall lol. Cause when you do the math for the hit rates you’re most likely spending more $ on packs instead of just buying the pikachu for $500

      It's pricing everything based on the market value, in the same sense when we price a card, that's not actually how much I'd get after a sale. It's simply for a baseline compared to what the market is saying. =D
