You know what I think would be a really cool job benefit to those who work at these factories actually making this hobby happen is a free master set for each expansion. Might deter some of the theft as well. Let's be real here, these workers provide a vital function for the hobby and while...

Kinda sad seeing the set symbols gone. Was far more interesting than some code especially since I'd use the set symbol on the spine of my custom binders I'd make for the sets.

Honestly I'd rather they just do away with reverse holo all together. A nightmare from a collector's standpoint since they are rarely ever taken care of and don't typically enjoy the same "pack to sleeve" treatment full art cards generally do in spite of the fact these things scratch way too...

Kinda not happy about HGSS being lost in the transition. It would be preferable if they simply included the entire catalog from base set for those of us who play with friends and like the old school cards. Plus easy enough to tag them as invalid cards for any sort of "official" play.

Lookin' forward to being UNABLE to buy this anywhere near it's MSRP.

Of course. First, you got YouTubers who overhyped the game by focusing so much on dollar value of "ultra rare" pulls. Then you got those who came back for the nostalgia factor but given the state of the game for the past 3 years alone since Hidden Fates and the hardcore scalping began... yeah...

Either way, Pokemon cards printed in the US have some very serious quality issues compared to ones printed in Japan. That's my only real concern here.

Thing is this started well before the pandemic. Particular with Hidden Fates. The pandemic merely compounded an existing problem so yeah Logan Paul and Leonhart share much of the blame for this given their videos almost always focus on the dollar value of cards and not much else.

I like them. Just means they aren't for you is all. No big deal.

Eh. They're the same ones from the set itself minus the fancy logo. Nothing more.

Sure is interesting how in this economy people have that kind of money to blow on something as non-essential as a Pokemon card.

I think the inclusion of the Cosmic Eclipse pack will make it something that's scalped. Already the case with the KnockOut packs.

I think it's more people are just in it for the money at this point. Too many are focused on dollar value of the cards/sealed product.

Honestly, screw him. He is very much a significant part of the reason there's so many scalpers/flippers here making product scarce and absurdly expensive on not just older stuff but even stuff JUST released cuz all these sort do is show off $$$. I have no kind words for people like him.

Sad. I was hoping they'd nix the idea of a random promo from a set of 4. As a collector it's actually pretty annoying. Oh well.
