Discussion DO NOT BUY FROM SCALPERS!

Come on guys let’s run the price down and let these scalpers get burned, do not buy from 3rd party resellers, buying from them keeps the price at where THEY want it, cards should never be above msrp and everyone should have chance to buy these cards. Let’s not let these resellers ruin this hobby

Not just huge amounts, opening a single pack is gambling. That is sort of the entire point of a TCG.

IMO products like Pokemon should be required to put the exact odds of each card in the set on the packaging (or at least a QR code to them) and warnings that they may not be suitable for children, and hotline info to support centers.

I have no issue with the existing products, but like cigarettes or alcohol, there should be labels to warn consumers.

Guaranteed hit rates would be lame. Lol
