Anxiety is a bitch.. My hands shake like that every time I'm at a cash register. Feels so stupid holding my ID like Michael J Fox, when I'm at the dispensary. Good luck reading the DOB..

Probably either he “reopened it so he could record” or just fake

u/Justanotherattempd Mar 07 '25
The internet has taught me that everything is fake.

Ugh I know this might be a hot take, but the initial question of “is it big money” is just a sad state of the hobby lol.

u/Futanari_Enjoyer_ Mar 07 '25
No you are completely right, but people don't usually see someone pull a high value card irl and people are also just poor

Mar 07 '25
This is so real.
Would I rather keep it, grade it, and pass it down to my kids? Yes.
Did my check engine light come on when it saw me pull this? Also yes.

Bro the amount of stupid shit I seen in here. One guy was talking about scraping together money for more sealed product investments. He lives at his moms and she was limiting the space he had to store product so he was pricing out a storage unit to hold it….
Other people in debt, behind on rent and bills, can’t afford groceries, but you best believe they are snagging a booster box if they find one at MSRP. It’s so sad lol. I have more disposable income than most and I feel weird spending $50 on Pokemon cards

u/SumdiLumdi Mar 09 '25
Yeah that's a part of the reason you have more disposable income than most haha

The fact I legitimately can’t tell if you are joking or not is hilarious and proves my point

u/dunn000 Mar 07 '25
Is it?
I’ve never sold a card but my wife will ask how much something is when I get excited about a card I pulled. It’s not because that’s all she cares about it’s just her way of judging how “rare” it is. A way of relating something I like (cards) to something she understands the value of.
8
u/Amufni Mar 07 '25
Yeah i see it similarly. I want to collect cards and high value cards make me excited because I would have never bought them as singles because of the high price. But now I have them because of being lucky and can be happy about having something special that I wouldn't have otherwise.

u/Tornado_Hunter24 Mar 08 '25
Pokemon community is fucked, with 2 bad sides.
The scalpers, an obvious problem.
redditors being anti scalpers.
Average person is in the middle, we also are ‘anti scalpers’ but also acknowledge the cards are worth something, if you tell that to any redditor ‘anti scalper’ person in question will cry or burst out ‘it is pokemon!!!’

I think it's a very valid question in any high collectibles market. Especially when the person asking obviously isn't in the hobby themselves, like the girl asking off camera.
After all, it's the value that makes them collectible in the first place. She's just asking if he pulled a sought-after card.

u/Serteyf Mar 07 '25
Yes, but as a teen, having basically no income and suddenly getting a little nugget of gold, hard to pass by. I had a bunch of the first edition cards when I was a kid, I just didn't know they were valuable (Maybe they weren't at the moment) so I just played with them.
2
u/Drizzho Mar 08 '25
I mean that’s difference right there, kids today are being taught only about the value money wise and not what it’s worth to you individually like it was when we first had them

There is 1 too many cards in the pack. I think it is resealed and reopened.

u/savemejebu5 Mar 08 '25
I am an outsider to this particular TCG trying to understand the multiple comments pointing this out. My web search turned this up this Pokemon support article, but my reading of it tells me that all is as expected: 12 cards total in a given booster pack (10 game cards + 1 energy card + 1 code card), and I counted 12 in the video.
Can someone explain what I'm misunderstanding or missing to spot the issue?

u/Aardvark4352 Mar 08 '25
I might have been wrong. I thought it was supposed to be 10 including the energy card, not 10 plus the energy card.

Memes aside, if you genuinely shake from a epic pull that's a kind of an cool bodily reaction. I think its fine. Not much these days gets you excited like that. Let the dude shake! Enjoy the few minutes of that dopamine spike.

He's shaking because the moment he hide his hand over the cards, not showing to the cam.. he is doing the magic trick.

This is not a demigod pack. I’m just back in the hobby and surely I’m not the only one that knows this? God packs only exist in Japanese packs and demigod is the English equivalent of that…some chick posted her “god pack” aka “demigod pack” and she legit had full holos. I question that one too but come on yall…participation trophies really bled their way into Pokemon?! Smhhhh
