hobbies thrive when investors drive hype and interest. the reason pokemon has become so popular and has remained popular is because investors believed in the product..

you profiting on the side isn't bad either. one piece will benefit from this too

Not what I'm saying, retard. I'm saying that sneakerheads, cryptojews, and investorcucks are typically in their 30s and 40s, and the same audience that liked Pokémon back in the day. They're the ones who moved on when Pokémon wasn't cool any more, and have come back in because they want to make money. Lots of them also justify being in the hobby because "I've been a fan since 1996". It's always specifically, 1996, because it's the top result on Google.

So long as Pokémon is profitable, these faggots aren't going anywhere. They aren't going to permanently move to One Piece since it never trended with millennials back in the day, even when 4kids dubbed it. It's much more of a GenZ thing. As soon as OP starts to cool off, they'll be back to Pokémon.

The set schedule has never changed interestingly enough its just that demand has skyrocketed to unprecedented levels. Personally the hobby will not be considered fixed until im able to just walk in a story anytime and grab an etb. Or if I can just go online without need a shitty discord ping just to buy some boxes. Ive lived through so many hypecycles and this is the only one that makes me feel grim about the future.

Based genuine fan. Anyone who complains about the release schedule either doesn't play the TCG, or hasn't been around for decades. The pace of releases has been pretty set in stone since the DPPt era, and even down to having a "Charizard" set, which I think started from XY.

I think it's becaause it's so completely twisted now because of how much money people spend and want to make from the hobby. Even when PoGo brought some interest back in 2016, there still wasn't much/any money in the hobby because it was still 99% kids or legacy fans who never left the franchise. Even renewed interest during those hype cycles was purely for love and fun.

Whereas now it's every trendhopping fuck trying to make a quick dollar and the reason why they get back into the hobby is solely to make money. There is zero passion at the moment and the amount that people are hoarding is obscene

Here's hoping, but at the same time, it makes me wonder how many people are just going to try and sweep up at inflated prices. Like it doesn't matter if people are cashing out when there are lots of other people waitingi in the wings who are still happy to pay $1000 because it came down from $1500. Even though it should only be $100 or whatever.

I don't know what it would take to genuinely bring things back to ground

More so goes to show how awful society is doing economically. Gambling and making trying to make money flipping things en mass like this is a recession indicator. If you can have a chance at pulling an expensive card, people are going to chase that high. Ultimately, the bubble is going to burst because more and more people just won't be able to afford or pay for these prices anymore.

Well Pokemon currently isn't crashing through the floor because whales are keeping it afloat. Go on eBay and see how many grail vintage slabs are hitting new ATHs meanwhile sealed modern is sitting doing nothing because average income buyers are getting broke. Anything over $10k is continuously trending upwards nonstop. This is exactly what the Topps exec said was occurring in the sports card world.

What I hate about new pokemons (after pokemon ruby/sapphire) is that they often didn't even bother making them at least somewhat believable as a living organism.
Gen1-3 had their retarded pokemon as well, but nowadays it seems the retards who used to draw fakemons have all gotten a job at Gamefreak and only design the most retarded "cutiepatootie" "pokemon" they can.
These new designs are imho so rounded and "cute" just because they don't want to put any effort into having to replicate them into a 3D asset for the games.

No, because they're either in a soccer/football stadium or a wrestling ring.

I was able to find some older stock black leather dragon shield binders since they are now discontinued.
Compared to mine that I bought pre 2020 these ones are even better as they increased the spine gusset lenght, making the cards lay even flatter than before. They are also slightly longer.

is it a ring binder? If so there is a possibility as the rings can bend and ding your cards when going through them but it depends. If it's not a ring binder then they can still get somewhat bent unless the pages have enough room to properly lay flat like in dragon shield binders.
Realistically no binder can truly guarantee perfect protection from bending unless you go the schizo way of using toploader binders like pic rel.
For other kind of damages a doublesleeved card in any non top loading binder will be okay.

Thanks for the insight. It’s a protectX 4x4 so i don’t know if it will hold toploaders. It hasn’t bent the first cards yet, so it’s very possible i’m just being paranoid. The only thing that bugs me is that there’s a thick soft slab on the front cover, which keeps the cards in place but it might be putting pressure on my page 1 lads (who are my favorites since I wanted to frontload em)

I've heard of them, they are popular. Their olny issue that I can see is the short spine to page lenght and sometimes QC issues.

Whatever is cheaper, considering Japanese, Chinese and some other asian languages such as Indonesian (but not Korean) have better textures, while for untextured cards it doesn't matter, unless you also care about grey borders vs yellow borders on older cards.

For just the art jp singles is the qay to go. Good quality, cheaper and its the original language so it's a more valuable and easier to sell/trade if you ever decide to let it go

Any UK chads ever ordered from Pokemon Center Online from Japan? My understanding is that it's like ~25GBP for a booster on release which makes it easily the cheapest purchase even if postage is nuts.

>which makes it easily the cheapest purchase even if postage is nuts.
you can only buy them via lotteries im pretty sure, im in the uk and buy stuff from japan regularly, i use a proxy service though postage is normally 20-40 quid on buyee which you can use for the pokemon center. i use the buyee air delivery delivery which uses fedex or dhl parcels normally arrive in under a week. if the total value is under like 120 quid you dont need to pay import fees anymore too

But they'll open a lottery when the new set releases I assume? I looked into Buyee and a few others and it seems straightforward enough. Is the 120quid value purely the value of goods? Because if so it seems like you could get a few boosters in for way cheaper than what they go for on ebay.

Anyone have strong opinions on Sleeves? Perfect Fit KMC feel the best to me but I find they slide around in binders too much. Ultra Pro penny sleeves ""fit"" the best with no movement in binders but they can snag the top and crease the sleeve which looks bad also the cards can move around in the sleeves more. Use case would be regular binders

Even the hitmons are believable as real, living creatures. What made them work is that they had a resemblance to arthropods with their weird shell-like body features and not looking TOO human. I'd even argue Jynx worked since it looked like some weird blob monster with a fur coat that resembles clothing. Stuff like Cinderace and Incineroar look like individuals rather than a true species yk?

That's more an issue of the page/binder IMHO.
I double sleeve with KMC and basic Ultrapro sleeves and they "almost" never slide in my binders, and the ones I have single sleeved with KMC slide around even less.
At most I might find a card that is slightly out of its pocket by a few mm, but I never had a card fully fall out.

Chances are that you aren't getting booster boxes from there. Japan heavily preferences physical Pokémon Centers and individual stores have regular lotteries for booster boxes, whereas the website basically only does one on release, and maybe a second. Occasionally cards go up for sale, but it's relatively rare and typically only loose packs

And if you don't have access to a Japanese phone number, you also aren't entering the lottery.

>>58735710
It doesn't, you need to actually verify your phone number with an 070/080 number These proxies tend to offer you 050 VOIP numbers, which aren't allowed because Japan is pretty strict with phone numbers to prevent scamming in that you can't get typically a SIM card with voice/SMS unless you're a resident or have access to a resident.

It's not like here where you can rock up to Lidl and buy a SIM card for £10 and do whatever the fuck you want with it.

Cardmarket bros why does the home page say an item is going for like ~£50 and then you click it and it says the price trend is ~£60 and then you look at listings and the lowest is ~£100? Are people actually listing the product that much lower and it just sells really quick or is there some strange maths at work here. I'm also using a plugin so maybe that's changing things.

Japanese cards are just too unpopular/common to keep in stock, which is why every whatnot streamer struggles to sell IRs/full arts even for £1 each, when they're that popular a card shop buying them in is basically losing money even at 50p an IR unless its a couple of the most popular ones which do go for a bit more. But even then they're slow to sell. Which is why they're often overpriced, if you do have to suffer stocking Japanese IRs/full arts you may as well price them at £2-3 because someone who likes that card in particular will pay it because it's only an extra £1-2 and I'm here now. Even with more expensive Japanese cards like SIRs they just sell too slowly. To be honest as well I think "Japanese quality" is often overhyped, it's true the SIR's/textured cards look and feel significantly better but when you compare regular IR's side by side they're pretty meh

People act as if it's so laborious to "keep stock." You simply fill a fucking binder. No LCS ever sort their shit, accurately price their shit, know their trade, etc. You put the cards in the binder. You could buy bulk IRs off Cardmarket and put them in a binder neatly and perhaps in some kind of order and people would obviously buy them for £1-5 a pop - it's free money. But ANY vintage Japanese card is at least £10, and I never see those at shops.

It's not "free money" because anything unsold is a liability and Japanese cards/vintage in general are extremely slow selling because basically no one buys it compared to modern. Even English vintage moves incredibly slowly let alone Japanese. I understand it fully because I try to keep my trade binder filled with interesting cards of all eras and being honest with you 99% of people that look in the binder admire the modern cards and barely take a second glance at Vintage/Japanese. The only time people seem to show an interest is if its a Pokemon they love "oh I collect digletts and I haven't seen this one before!", otherwise they'll likely comment more on the same Gardevoir 245 line they've seen 50 times before "I love how these connect!"

I don't even look at "price trends" anymore, it could be that it's calibrated on less desirable languages and poor condition cards.
Cardmarket orders by price anyway, so just pick the cheapest listing of your desired language and condition, possibly with pictures (don't hesitate to ask the seller, worst case they will not reply), check the seller's reviews and their other listings to see how they self-grade their other cards, and most importantly filter out UKfags with their surprise customs, and Scandinavians with their 25€ letters

Vintage is cheap compared to modern, you can get NM copies of most hits from WOTC sets for £50 or less. Even the most famous card, base set Charizard, can be had for around £400 in Near Mint quality which hiliariously is cheaper than a lot of modern chases. Vintage pricing is largely driven by real world rarity which is why 1st Edition and "Shadowless" are insane compared to unlimited, because it directly correlates to the physical rarity of the card rather than vibes like Modern. The most expensive "Vintage" cards are really mid-era cards when the hobby wasn't as popular and when the pull rates were terrible while people still weren't indoctrinated into keeping cards in flawless condition, so again its related directly to real world scarcity. Occasionally the same "investor"/scalper/vendor/sneakerbros that inflate modern will set their eyes on certain older cards and inflate them too, looking at you Tagteams/Ancient Mew but generally you're paying for the real scarcity of what you want

How quickly can humidity/dampness (in the air) affect sleeved, bindered cards (with otherwise stable conditions)?

The only reasonable place to put my cards at the moment is a cool, sunlight-free cabinet in my kitchen. I live in a place with a fairly stable humidity index but the cabinet isn’t airtight. I have a few silica gel packets sitting in there but I understand they’re pretty limited in effectiveness. Should I just buy a Dehumidifier for later in the year?

Also, how likely is it that my stuff gets messed with by TSA because i wanted to bring the binder with me for the holidays i might hit up some stores in my hometown[/spoilers]

Nah I have some of the original M EX cards and they were just as hit and miss as the new ones. This Froslass looks incredible, even more so in person and easily surpasses most of the originals in part because you're getting the combination of an SIR (full artwork, texture) with the attack text, the older ones that barely come out of the frame like our current EX's just leaves less room for good art, plus none of the texture you get now. I'm not saying the new ones are all strictly an upgrade, I still love some of the old M EX cards but saying they're worse is just feels wrong looking at them side by side

NTA, but remake the Gym Heroes/Challenge in its entirety, but every single card is a full art with the original artwork extended to fit the whole card.
The holo pattern should go back to cosmos with at least a swirl per card guaranteed, and the SIR be textured to japanese standards. Pull rates should be improved so no card will become a chase like that umbreon from prismatic.
The border of the cards should go back to yellow. a small pulltab activated speaker should be included in every booster that once opened immediately starts blasting "KANTOOOOOOOO" until the battery runs out

You're overthinking it. I've brought cards too and from my destination multiple times and they really don't care. If you're wondering what it was, it was a small 2x2 binder half filled with cards and some penny sleeves. I have only been stopped 1 time and they said "are those trading cards?" and if they could search through. Obviously I said yes then went along my way. Nothing crazy happened. Just be honest.

Now I guess you might be sus if you try bringing on multiple slabs, binders, etc. But again, just be honest and you'll be good.

Aside from new sets, price relates almost entirely to population/rarity. Japanese and English cards aren't printed in the same way - the same card/art might be a promo in one set, and pullable in another; the amount of promos available might be different; etc. I don't know for that card specifically, but this usually explains it. It's fun to find Japanese cards that are more expensive that their English counterparts.

Are binders safe? I want one but currently keep my cards in toploaders in a solid box. I ordered toploader binder inserts for an a4 ring binder and they dont fix too small so id have to get non toploader binder pages. need to be for a4 as theres a bunch of nice older binders with good art on and id go insane not being able to move the pages about and having to reorganize the whole thing

d ring is better than normal rings as long as your pages aren't top loading, and when you turn and move them you are careful.

Realistically the best binders/portfolios are sideloading ones with plently space from the space to the actual page itself to remove possible bending.
Since you're going to use pages for toploaders rings aren't going to be an issue unless you're going to manhandle your binders the way a retarded child will.

Trading Local Options

I'm from México & was wondering how much of a good investment could be to use a local grading service, I know PSA it's the ideal for grading collective goods, but mexican custom authorities are the lamest & I'm affraid to lost my investment once PSA sends back my graded cards.

nothing will come close to PSA other than Beckett black labels.
check your local Pokemon market to see the value of slabs from local grading companies.
Europe has a few that do decently in their own markets but are completely irrelevant internationally.
