I think the typical player/collector would distinguish "scalper/toxic buyer" from a regular one is whether they use it simply as a money making/attention seeking tool and nothing more. Plenty of people buy cases of each set in a regular market, usually to collect some and possibly sell the...
I see everyone blaming scalpers, but I honestly don't think that's the main problem. I think at this point, it's every Logan Paul wannabe or "investor" who thinks they'll make big bucks by grading every single card they pull. I imagine most of the cards PSA is getting are bulk garbage that...
I couldn't agree more. To add insult to injury, it wasn't even a brand new Pokemon, just a new form for an old one that doesn't even look that different. This could have easily been done with a 30 second trailer. If they wanted to add the same anticipation, they could have made a longer...
Alolan Raticate GX is just a huge disappointment. It's GX attack could be potentially insane, especially after the rotation of N reducing the amount of easy hand disruption, but everything else about it is mediocre at best. It's first attack is maxed out at 80 damage, only 20 more than it's...
I was afraid this was going to be a core game, but now that we know it isn't, I'm relieved. The idea of Go being heavily integrated into the mainline series was just... dumbfounding, to say the least.

I wonder if this is a security decision because of those two morons with the guns at Boston. While I think it's a huge disservice to the fans to make it private, I can at least understand if this is the reason. The event was targeted already, and with the rise in terrorism and mass shootings...
