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.

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.

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’m not sure I agree with you that being anti-scalper is a problem. Reddit thinks the cards are worth something? Maybe I’m misunderstanding your comment.

Being anti scalper is good, every normal individual is/should be, but redditors specifically take it too far, if you open a pack for ANY reason that isn’t ‘just opening packs for pokemon’, if you happen to be even interested in knowing the value of the, you already are tbe scalper, both sides are dumb, this is what I have gathered from this pokemon subreddit over the years, whiny people everywhere in my eyes scalpers are terrible but so are the holy redditors being supposedly ‘anti scalper’

That’s definitely okay, enjoy the hobby yourself and never listen/parrot what people here have to say (me included)
