>>46824499You do make a fair point. The main reason is because I want versions of those cards which are considered to be excellent quality and also retard-proof. If they're in slabs, then I'm not going to be able to whiten the corners, crease the card or have dust scratch it and shit. Whilst you can get those scre-cases or whatever pulling something like a Megra Primal Groudon EX from a random pack is very, very, very difficult, given how Primal Clash is notorious for having dogshit quality control.
I opened my own booster boxes and there wasn't a single card without a ding or some whitening.
I literally don't care what other people say. I've got like 13 full-art Wicke's just because I like the t h i c c Pokémilf.
At the end of the day I just buy the stuff I like.
