2:35:42they're pretttyy:_aiaAIADMIRER::_aiaAIADMIRER:
2:35:44fun game, but speculators got their grubby hands on the hobby
2:35:44it's the ones who only want them to flip
2:35:46Because now there's a bunch of BS about being an investment strategy
2:35:47these days TCG are just another form of gambling
2:35:54scalpers inflating the market
2:35:55Well MAgic and Yugioh are still bought and played with
2:36:00CCGs do weird things to epople's brains
2:36:05pokemon cards are like gambling for millenials
2:36:06Mr Paul ruined collecting the cards
2:36:09well some people still play:_aiaWHEEZE:
2:36:09yeah, there are tournaments and all
2:36:11I think it's ridiculous that there's some BS economy around Pokemon cards at this point.
2:36:11I dont know the whole story but I know streaming and grading culture is contributing to it a lot
2:36:15Aside from scalpers, they look nice. And for people who play the TCG.
2:36:18as a kid i never played, just collected
2:36:19lol no people cant play the game because scalpers buy up all the cards
2:36:21because people are doing IRL gacha to sell them for income
2:36:24Scalper inflation. It's mostly the gacha opening
2:36:27back when i was in elementary school people used to play a lot
2:36:29yeah the game is still popular, BUT THOSE FUCK ASS SCALPERS MAKE IT HARD
2:36:32I just like to collect the ones with artwork I like and display them
2:36:38scalp, dipped in boiling oil and then tarred and feathered, yeah
2:36:54Magic the gathering is one of the longest established tcgs... still is being played
2:36:54tbf i made like over $100 selling a couple cards recently. if you have cards from before 2008 you could have some cards worth something.
2:36:56my sister has collected some of the cards just because she likes the art
2:37:07I like collect things like card, and it feel good when you get rare card
2:37:15the paul brothers will be punished
2:37:15I just collect for the funsies (´ . .̫ . `)
2:37:16nah, scalpers are mostly rich kids trying to get richer quick
